News
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.

No. I believe in facts. Fact is some one being an asshole, is an asshole, no matter what term you'd give them to hide under.
So. Again. He was being an asshole, not playing a prank.
Ok, buddy.
There's not a single prank that everyone will laugh at, but keep believing what you want.
Sorry, just to drive the point further home: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Practical_joke
No mention of laughter even being a factor. You can edit the article if you'd like to change that.
Also, this is a really good fucking prank:
What's the definition of most?
Here's the definition of a prank:
No laughter required.
I shared the part where it mentioned it being a factor.
No, not required, but overall or most or more than half or more frequently or insert synonym here for most...
Generally a good practical joke will have the victim to be able to laugh after the fact and not be like you assaulted me. Assault isn't a joke.
Since you don't know what most means you may not know what assault means ...
That's fine. The guy I was responding to was trying to argue that all pranks make everyone laugh, which is ridiculous.
Yeah and the person I'm responding to said
What I'm saying, it's it doesn't matter the intent, assault isn't a joke. Throwing objects that can potentially cause injury isn't a practical joke at all.
So your issue is parentage then.
And if you act cruelly to one person simply so you and perchance another bystander can laugh at them, then I'd say you're just proving the point, and you hang out with shitty people.
Throwing dildos at a basketball game is not an act of cruelty, unless their intent was to injure someone.
Are you fucking serious? Get the fuck outta here
Is it? Or maybe you're an asshole too...
