City Council committee advances plan to limit LAPD's less-lethal weapons
Councilmember Hugo Soto Martinez is leading a push for an ordinance to prohibit the LAPD from using “kinetic energy projectiles” or “chemical agents” unless officers are threatened with violence.Christopher Buchanan (Los Angeles Times)
My husband and I have this concept called a "cat story" cats have rather short attention spans (for things like stories, and words) so cat stories are very short. Here is a very popular "scary" cat story:
"and then they ATE the kitty"
That's the whole story. It's very popular to tell around a fire while camping. Here is another "cat story"
"So the kitty ate them ALL."
This is a more positive story, obviously.
“but cucumber”
Cat humor sounds like hearing the punch line and then realizing what happened 70ms earlier

in reply to trashcan • • •There were several instances where the only thing in the sidebar is the community rules only, no instance rules. At least one instance had rules in post that I don't think was even stickied in their main instance community or something stupid like that.
I don't bother reading the rules, because in the vast majority of cases they are vague enough to be uninformative (be nice!) or are so ridiculous that I'd rather just catch a ban than actively read every single rule everywhere to avoid tripping over one stupid community/instance specific rule. The only bans I've received across multiple accounts is either due to being a complete asshole (deserved), arguing with a stupid mod, or being banned for something the mod made up in their head to justify banning anyone who down voted a single post in one of their shitty AI slop communities.

in reply to [deleted] • • •I don't know if you intentionally called me out specifically or not but either way it's funny and made me reflect.
Edit: my communities are low traffic and low stakes. I don't like to take mod actions unless absolutely necessary. Broadly we can all understand what it means to be nice, no?
I did end up quoting my instances rules in the sidebar of my biggest (and most unique) community. It basically just boils down to no bigotry or spam, which should almost be implied.

in reply to mudkip • • •I fall under this category.
I tend to default to a common sense style commenting when it comes to rules, If I see it in the sidebar, then I'll know that will exist, but I'm definitely not someone who goes out of their way to try to find rules.

in reply to Sunshine (she/her) • • •And actually follow them. Seen too many bad admins/mods that apply rules unequally or even incorrectly.
Edit: If your rules aren't valid any more or don't mean what people understand them to mean then change them, or clarify.
