A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!

Only goofs & silliness. (:

I wanted to independently verify this story; have to say I'm a bit disappointed.

Teen hero who helped save girl from abductor gets up to 10 years for armed robbery

He is still the boy who saved the girl.

Fuck, though.

[–] Trigger2_2000@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, that's why I was just a bit disappointed.

Switch the order of events and he gets a sealed Juvenile record and a heroic start to his adult life.

But he was paroled in 2019 - hope he’s good!

Deep down, all humans are trash.

[–] Trigger2_2000@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

I wouldn't say that. Sounds like he couldn't handle/capitalize on his earlier success.

Just sad.

Some woman was so impressed she set up a scholarship fund for the kid, yet he was still so broke he robbed a place for $200 (split between 2 people).
