Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Kind of a harsh and severe way of dealing with it.

What’s harsh about “cut your bullshit, this is a courtroom”?

Nobody’s going to jail, they just have to stop sending cartoons.

I'm willing to lower my standards for describing a ruling with synonyms for "draconian" when there's a dragon involved.

I'm willing to lower my standards for calling a Greek a dragon too. Not something I'd necessarily do in the courtroom but in the comments of a !mildlyinteresting@lemmy.world post, sure.

It also makes for a waste of ink, for those judges and lawyers who are more comfortable with hard copies.

Now it all makes sense, dinosaurs (particularly the Brontosaurus) have a long-standing feud with dragons for stealing their thunder.

Telling them to stop doing it, without punishing anyone in any way, is a severe way of dealing with it?

What?

Please don’t ever get into hard labor, you would burn out in like under a minute if you think this is harsh

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To be clear, you believe that my comment about the ruling being draconian is sincere in spite of the other replies here?
