I know ‘AI bad’ and all that, but this is actually a great use of it, in my opinion. It sounds like it was a positive experience for everyone involved, and it sounds like being able to separate herself from this victim statement helped her write it to be more genuinely in the spirit of what the deceased man would have said than she otherwise would have been able to, while also more cleanly separating her own, very opposite, feelings from it.

Ohio being on the list is pretty funny (assuming this is in the US). Going to make geography and history classes awkward.

What grade is this, that Edging and Goon were common enough terms that they had to be included here?

“Animal noises” is very broad. Furry persecution. :(

The fact that they lose “LiveSchool points”, whatever those are, presumably for saying these words, is almost worse than the fact that they have this list at all. I don’t know what that system is or how it works, but I already hate it.

Get him to lay out exactly what you’ll be doing, in writing, and what qualifies as ‘complete’ for each task. Don’t leave it open-ended, or you’re giving him leave to either keep adding new tasks, or to say “This wasn’t done adequately!” and refuse to pay your share.

Find some simple recipes, and follow them to the letter. If it says to add something “to taste”, just add a small amount of it and assume it’s fine. As long as you aren’t trying to invent your own dishes, or improvise somehow, you should be fine.

Really depends on the object. If it’s a collectible item with a value that’s open to interpretation, I sometimes do, especially if I’m considering buying multiple things. (For example, CCG cards priced at $20, I might offer $70 for a playset of 4.) Those things don’t have firm market value (or that value fluctuates frequently) and there’s usually an easy way to look up a price range quickly to get a sense for what’s a fair or reasonable offer.

If it’s something someone made and is selling, it feels rude to me to haggle. The item has no real market value because it’s something they made; the price is what they’re willing to sell it for. I’ll either buy it for that price, or not buy it at all. I guess the exception would be if they’ve got a sign inviting haggling, which I’ve seen at convention spaces on rare occasion.

Price definitely seems high, but at least it’s a decent meal for kids. Nice variety of things; most places around where I live just have a tiny portion of a single dish as the kids’ options.

This is me any time there’s a friendly kobold in any game. Deekin? Koll the Red? Popper? That’s my jam.

Is Beehaw doing something different from the rest of lemmy? You can log into any instance with any of the apps.

Sure is. You might check [email protected] for some suggestions, but there’s many.

(Refer to the pinned megathread.)

Especially if they’d help carry your bags and whatnot; that could be very helpful for someone who has mobility issues or just has a lot of things they need to bring. Well worth $7.50

In a hypothetical world where every service that wanted to be kid-friendly was willing to make two versions of their site, and where the obvious security concerns were solved, and where it could somehow be quarantined away from normal users, how would a kid even prove they were a kid?

The issue (in my eyes) is that this isn’t limited to discord. Anywhere online where kids are allowed to be, predators can also be. Fuck, even Roblox apparently has a big predator problem. So if we make it the responsibility of platforms to police, we’re setting ourselves up for a world where you have to have your ID ready to scan in to any website you visit or service you use that lets you interact with other people in any way, no matter how mundane, and there will be no internet services where anyone under 18 is allowed.

Or, we just accept that there’s no reasonable way to keep adults and kids from intermingling, and we make it parents’ sole responsibility.

They already have that policy, as the article notes. The problem is, how do you enforce it? As the comment you replied to notes, without requiring an ID verification, anyone can say they’re any age.

At what point does it become the parents’ responsibility to monitor what their kids are doing online?

Changing what policy, and to what?

A copulating donkey?

“This is why we don’t need #US #cars in #Europe”

We don’t need this shit in the US, either. I hope that tram just rammed the fucker.

I think this sufficiently sums up my take:

The fact that that’s an option at all makes Lemmy considerably better than Reddit.

Edit: You know what, nevermind. I don’t think I actually want to debate this today. It’s been an alright day so far and I don’t want to fuck it up like I’m sure this argument would.

Where is this / what company is it with? This is pretty amazing.

That’s a good point; it becomes less economical if you need multiple of these cells just to counteract the self-discharge. Even so, it’s really just a demo of the technology; they do mention they expect to have a 1 watt model later this year.
