Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

We went with a jigsaw puzzle instead. They're frustrating for everyone involved and no one wins, so it's far less contentious.
Until you get to the Agatha Christian mystery of “who’s hiding the missing piece?” and your mother’s refusal to believe it was simply lost over the years.
In that case, I'd be the frustrated one. We got it at Goodwill and I said to her, "what if there's a piece missing?" and she said, "why does that matter?"
It matters! It soooo matters!
But it looks like it was brand new, so hopefully that won't be an issue. It is an issue that it's basically just a big ad for Costco, but what do you want for $4?
$4? I’d pay at least $8 for the assurance it was a complete set.
I wanna know.
Anything to keep her quiet.
Giant bottle of Jim Beam? I think cannabis is legal in Minnesota isn’t it?
Inebriate her. It’s what I do to my parents when they get to be “a bit much.” And, fuck it, get shitty with her.
It is not.
I have some with me anyway, but it is not. And neither is Wisconsin, the closest state over.
Thankfully, I brought enough for my needs.
Hold on, according to the googles, cannabis is in fact, legal in Minnesota. However, getting it where you are me be not an easy affair. However, I am glad that you managed to get what you need regardless.
As a New Yorker temporarily stuck in Florida, I had to go through some hoopty loopty bullshit of getting a medical card to get my weed. As you may or may not know, weed is extra special, super Duper legal in New York, as legal as booze or cigarettes. But in Florida, you actually have to get some stupid card and a prescription to get it, which is bullshit. it’s very transparently just a racket for so-called doctors and the state to get a cut as middlemen aka “private industry” rather than taxation and public interest get a stake. It also artificially introduces a high bar of entry to keep “undesirables” out and to help criminalize those who can’t afford entry into the “club”, further reinforcing the classist, racist structure.
I very much hope to be back in New York very soon.
Yeah, someone else told me it was legal too. Either way, I brought my own. :)
I hope you get back soon too.
Weed is definitely legal in Minnesota. I can tell you a few places here in the Twin Cities that sell edibles, but anything else is a bit harder to find because of how legalization happened - edibles happened first by accident because Republicans can't read, and last year with the DFL getting the house and senate they properly legalized it but the full rollout has been slower.
