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

This is how I’ve always understood them. If after you’ve had some time to digest how the interview went (and evaluate, based on the questions you (should have) asked during the interview, whether you think the position is a good fit for you) you still want the job, you send a quick email basically saying “Hey, thanks for meeting with me - it was nice to meet you / your team. Based on our interaction, it looks like this position would be a great fit for me / I’d be a great fit for it - here’s some things I took away from it (which also serves to show I was attentive / not just going through the motions) - looking forward to hearing from you to continue the process!” To your point, it’s not an ass-kissing email, the ‘thank you’ portion is just a polite formality to open the conversation.

Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.

and even a government-funded program to better educate women on their own menstrual cycles so that they know when they should be trying for a baby

It should be Trump himself giving that class. Because I’d love to hear that.

I’m in complete agreement with you there. If Luigi Mangione gets the death penalty, we should absolutely take to the streets and riot.

In 2023 a federal judge convicted him to 90 consecutive life sentences, after he pleaded guilty of hate crimes and firearms violation.

Holy shit.

This might be controversial, but I’m glad he didn’t get the death penalty. Not because I don’t think he deserves it, but because I don’t think we should have the death penalty at all.

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 !lemmyapps@lemmy.world 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?

Boo hoo. Maybe if he hadn’t been such a shitheel he wouldn’t have gotten the sanctions imposed against him in the first place. Most people manage to go through their entire lives without ever even facing, nevermind losing, a defamation suit - I hope he gets exactly zero sympathy.

I’m with you, I think we all are, but what would you propose we do? I certainly don’t know. “Attending protests” doesn’t feel impactful or immediate enough.

Look into these eyes, you’ll see that they are googly.

A copulating donkey?

Do you really not see a difference between the Holocaust and parents with the opinion that trans girls shouldn’t be on the same sports teams as AFAB girls? Is this really where we’re at here?

There’s no group of folks I’d rather be stuck in the shadow realm with. <3
