There's a contract from 1648 that still pays interest today because the company that issued it still exists. Unless Ukraine or the UK cease to exist in 100 years this contract will absolutely be enforced.

Cops don't collect evidence to prove your innocence. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. Never for you. You and your lawyer provide your own evidence. The cops won't be collecting it for you.
Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a mental health disorder in which a caregiver creates the appearance of health problems in another person - typically their child.
That's definitely a terrible take but there's no reason to downvote it. I don't think you're trolling. You just have a different opinion and that's fine.
The post was a news story about a sports arena calling a kid to the front and saying Santa got him a new PS5 but they didn't end up giving him one.
A top comment claimed this is legally considered theft. I replied saying it's shitty but it's not legally theft. Got 91 downvotes for that.
All my other downvoted comments come from posting in video game communities about how I don't think video games need to exist forever.
Would you rather buy a game that you know is going to die in a year, or the same game but that can be played for as long as you want?
I would rather I get to make that choice instead of it being imposed onto me. You can make your choice. I can make mine.
Next item to discover on my list: why are Americans so upset about "black face".
That's because of minstrel shows. They were American comedy acts where actors would paint their faces black and act out racist stereotypes. The premise was "look at me! I'm a black person!" and then they'd do something stupid and everyone would laugh. Note that black people were slaves at the time. When slavery was (mostly) abolished after the civil war, the shows and makeup became symbols of racism.
It's kind of like how a swastika in a Buddhist temple is fine but a swastika tattoo on a white American isn't. The swastika doesn't have to be racist symbol, but there are few places you could display one without it being interpreted as a racist symbol.
Cultural appropriation is when you take something sacred or special and don't treat it with respect. Sombreros and parkas are just clothes.

I know you weren't sure about this comment but I took the time to read it and I just wanted to let you know that after doing so I'd say you definitely made the wrong choice in posting it. I used to think any contribution is fine since Lemmy and its communities are small and they need active users in order to grow but your comment is really making me reconsider. I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you.
