So good.

In a properly functioning world, this could easily be coupled with particular education on power dynamics and a lesson on consent, giving proper attention to why this might be more harmful to get than to him.
Of course, – so long as we’re in this hypothetical world – you’d just have that kind of education be a part of sex ed. or the like for all students, to begin with, but, as we’re in this world and that’s Louisiana…
- Comment on Ted Cruz's plan to punish states that regulate AI shot down in 99-1 vote 1 week ago:
I don’t think he’d won his election; I also think it was a local election, rather than a federal one? But, I’ll admit, I hadn’t been following his race very closely.

- Comment on Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy 1 week ago:
Besides your point but this is the aspect about Gorsuch that I can’t seem to make internally consistent. He almost always rules in terms of native rights – even when, I think, it stretches his supposed originalist guiding principle – yet is more than happy to vote as a conservative on all other times and support “industry” and big business (even when it stretches his supposed originalist guiding principle).
I know that nothing necessitates a person to act logically and most act from emotion, more than anything, but most people, I find, have a relative reason they think they’re being logically consistent but I can’t seem to suss even that out, with regards to him.
- Comment on 'Technofascist military fantasy': Spotify faces boycott calls over CEO’s investment in AI military startup 1 week ago:
I can’t speak for how viable it is for success or whether it’s just a grift (as I haven’t had the time to really research into it) but feels like as good a time as any to mention that, out in Australia, The Pack Music Cooperative is fundraising for a cooperative music streaming service: www.thepackaustralia.com.au
They haven’t raised a lot towards their goal, yet, and could probably use an the help they can get. As a cooperative, they’ll side step a lot of the probably problems a corporation like Spotify or Tidal will have and they already are dedicated to prioritizing artists and their rights.
- Comment on No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites 2 weeks ago:
I made a promise, Mr. garretble: a promise. “Don’t you make me use any other browser,” said my nan; and I don’t mean to. I don’t mean to.
She’s still using Windows XP.
- Comment on It is what it is 2 weeks ago:
Maybe I read it wrong but (to me) the meme makes it sound like Google’s taking the local data (that’s supposed to be forgotten, once you close the browser window) and sending it over to Google for them to, I dunno, run analysis on.
If they’re saying that Google sites (like YouTube, Google search, etc.) were collecting data when I visit them (as, unfortunately, sites do), then I’d say, “Well, duh;” but this makes it seem like they were exporting your local data off to their cloud which, like, they could obviously, technically do but wouldn’t very much be in the spirit of how Incognito mode was portrayed.

Same; I simply can’t use a laptop without mouse buttons.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 3 weeks ago:
I expect it’s just a taste thing; water tastes fine but, like, it could taste more interesting if we added a bit of sugar or flavor to it (I was a huge justice fan).
For my own end, it was an easy way to keep my emotions/mood simulated or engaged against my depression that was low effort and easy to supply; that said, I switched entirely to water last year and, now fully comfortable drinking nothing but water and being fairly averse – previously –, I can’t say the previous reasons really make that much of a difference for me, now. Maybe it’s just having drank to my non-water content, already, but drinking nothing but water’s been pretty great and removes low-key health fears I always had.

To save you what turned into a whole year for me, – if you have anyone else who can help you – tag team applying. I only started to see consistent interviews once my husband started helping and we started not only flooding every listing we could but, also, routinely applying before a lot of people got to them.
Good luck; one of the worst years of my life.
- Comment on There he goes 1 month ago:
For real; have no idea what the caffeine amount was (very well could’ve been far less than both if you) but I took an edible with caffeine, once.
Tried it once, before, and barely noticed anything so I popped a second one, this time around.
Naturally, forgot I’d taken anything and only vaguely became aware, an hour later, than my heart was pounding. Trying to figure out why your heart is thundering out of your chest while stoned to Hell is probably not high on the Most Effective list.

I don’t know that I agree that breadboxes were solely used in times/cases where the risk of mice getting to the bread was present but I get your reasoning.

To be fair, you originally said, “the real reason,” but have just listed three different equal reasons.
- Comment on Awooo 1 month ago:
This means that even in left-leaning communities like Lemmy, we’re seeing a majority of individuals speak out and very clearly say “This does not offend me.”
Has that been by people who are mentally disabled, though?
And that leftist spaces struggle with meaningfully engagement with systems of ablism has been a point of contention for…decades, now.

soooo…you’re not very good at finding information that isn’t presented to you, evidently.
At least they choose the utmost ironic username for it.

People have private conversations in public but, if I join in, I’m the crazy one~
Like, – yes – those people will have to accept that people may overhear them while talking about their subject but this isn’t a new phenomenon. People have always done this.
This is just the dynamic of public spaces.

Everything is political; how much you notice really is just a metric of how much a particular subject effects you.
This is such a great example.

Yeah; when those lines are horizontal – though –, you may want to worry. But vertically, usually not.
- Comment on French culture 2 months ago:
In the end, it’s all subjective but – if you’ll hear me out –
thoghdoesn’t alter the current spelling very much while maintaining a linguistic heritage (as the “thogh” spelling was also likewise used, during Middle English); also, the number of words ending in just the “o” vowel is less common, I feel, and will probably look doubly foreign to a native English speaker due to the consonant digraph (though, again, subjective; maybe not).However, – additionally – saving “oght” for “thought” is giving that letter combination a sound already covered in English by another letter combination: “aught” (e.g. caught, fraught, taught, …thaught…?).
Finally, a single “f” for “tough” could work (certainly, there are examples) but we miss out on employing the Germanic linguistic tendency to indicate a short vowel sound with a double consonant, inherited by words such as “ball”, “fall”, “doll”, “call”, or “puff” (of course, there’s plenty of exceptions (“get”, “bet”, “mat”, etc.) but, so long as we’re making changes, firming up an existing rule (and avoiding the brief uncertainty of whether or not the reader is dealing with a prefix) would, arguably, be useful).

Probably because that’s what some had been told they would be taking before entering the slaughterhouse; but just a guess, on my part.
- Comment on Religions have some of the wackiest rules 2 months ago:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made."
is generally interpreted to mean that Jesus was there from the beginning. Or, to quote the Nicene Creed,
begotten and not made, consubstantial with the Father
