TBF in the ToS it was ”Where no man has gone before”, not “Where no one has gone before.”

So if it was aliens then the statement was correct, we’d just have to skip all the weird human populated worlds they found.

laws have no meaning…

Pretty much describes the last decade + across the board.

Nope. Raspbian, Arch, Ubuntu, Ubuntu MATE (sorta samesies, I guess), Manjaro…I think that’s it.

That sounds like fun. Do they have a /c or just post random stuff?

I have a few things.

This place has groups that are singlemindedly bloodthirsty and happy to see people hurt, particularly in the US, and don’t have a problem stating so.

Tangentially - the far left extolling the virtues of governing systems that have never really worked due to weak protections against takeover by bad actors and ignoring that those systems are just as corruptible as any other. Humans are f’d up and someone always games the system for personal or tribal advantage.

Linux. Yeah, it’s great. No, it cannot do everything Windows does, and we’re going to ignore that and deride you for playing AAA studio games that have anticheat that linux breaks or other software that doesn’t work on the OS. That’s your fault, we’ll be smug about it, and still recommend ditching Windows.

Conspiracies. This place acts like it has some superior thought or logic but as soon as something happens the conspiratards immediately make it a conspiracy and can’t be told otherwise regardless of logic - or accept a far more real but less exciting conspiracy. Everyone jumps on the bandwagon.

Lastly it’s missing the hobby and interest groups. It’s mostly memes and politics. I’d like to see more actual communities of interests and support for hobbies on the Fediverse rather than the constant grind of how f’d up the world is.

Monsterpiss.

Any diagnosis means someone might demand something of them. It might be consideration, tax money, or some other inconvenience like actually having to apply thought and accommodation to anyone not fitting their idea of conformity. I agree with where you’re pointed, but it isn’t a “moral panic”, it’s their unwillingness to expend anything of themselves for others.

No, that isn’t worth it. That’s just wrong and f’d up putting your kid through that. Damn, just get a different script. Odds are another will do the job.

ADHD meds absolutely can cause bad dreams in kids, I don’t know about bad enough to “tear at skin”, that’s outside my knowledge area. We had to get a different script for a family member because of scary dreams and racing heart, difficulty sleeping, even after adjusting dosage. It was doing more harm than good. After the med swap it got way, way better.

This…doesn’t make much sense. Teacher struck the child and the child got expelled? Where do the night terrors come in? This sounds very little like ADHD.

Vanity diagnosis.

50%?

The national stats are ~1:10 people have it. 50% is a huge anomaly. Something isn’t right.

That must’ve been a fun show.

I’ll second Guster. Seen them 3 times? Good performers, good music.

Much rather have the hour later than in the morning.

If I understand it right it’s basically polishing your external appearance to a high degree. Hair, skincare, etc… but I’ve seen it mostly used to describe people using the technique transactionally. Like incels doing it with the expectation that doing so will result in a girl appearing for them.

That would be the “pittance” part. This is about a hundred random songs not a single artist.

This isn’t about you.

Funt?

Still tracks you when you connect to wifi.

AI is going to destroy everything being some of the final nails in the coffin. Nothing is going to be trusted anymore. Anyone can make up any lie and say it’s real because they have “proof.” It’s going to amplify the worst of human greed and quest for power - whether that be on social media or politically.
