Sinéad O'Connor ripping up a picture of Pope John Paul II on SNL in 1992
She called out the shitty catholic church, got her career ruined for it, and 2 months later all the molestation stuff came out. Not once did she get an apology. RIP, Nothing truly did compare to you.

YSK: Sometimes fostering just doesn't work out.
My mom was a foster parent for troubled kids. She did it for 20 years. Over 100 kids ended either being able to return home, or found perm adoption. However, in the end, one kid broke her, and she nearly didn't come back from it. This kid had a horrible life, abused, physically and sexually for over 10 years by his father and mother both. He got arrested when he tried to touch a 6 year old at his school. When they took him into custody, they put him in a juvi unit with kids 5+ years older then him. He spent 2 years there before he was placed with my mom. He would punch, bite, kick, spit, scratch. Break things, scream, yell, shout, and anything else he could do to try and get a reaction. She lasted just over a year, but when he punched my 3 month old niece, my mom had to physically get between him and my brother who probably would have killed him, no exaggeration. She called and had him picked up by the foster care center she worked for. He screamed at her that like everyone else in his life, she abandoned him. They took him away and she quit the next day. A few years after my mother passed away, I saw on the news that he was killed in a gang related conflict. I'm glad she didn't have to deal with that knowledge. It took a long time for us to convince her that she wasn't the one who failed that kid, life just dealt them a shitty hand and they didn't play the cards they had been dealt right.

Do y'all pretend not to notice when the DM fudges something to keep your character alive?
As a DM, I ask my players at session zero, do you want me to fudge rolls to make the game more fun/interesting, or let the dice fall how they may? I've never had a table ask me to not fudge the dice.

How difficult was it for you to abandon a social media website for a fediverse alternative?
Not difficult at all.
Left Facebook in 2016, Left Instagram in 2017, Left Snapchat in 2018, Left twitch in 2021, Left Twitter in 2022, Left Reddit in 2023.
I could walk away from tiktok at any moment.

Glad to hear it. I deleted 2 accounts with over 100k karama, and moved fully to Lemmy. I'm here to stay as well. Reddit is dead to me.

[Serious] My high schooler worked at a fast food joint. Recently he encountered one of his underage coworkers under the influence of meth, which she said was given by management. What to do?
I'm going to be an asshole here but hopefully it adds perspective. Do you care if the girl dies of a drug overdose, or that she may be getting targeted with grooming by a manager for other reasons? If you do, you report it. If you don't then just live your life and turn a blind eye. There is no in between. Hopfully nothing happens to the girl that you could have prevented.

What are 2000 employees doing at Reddit?
I’d wager a lot of them are looking for new jobs. Those who aren’t are probably making dumpster s’mores.

My laptop came with Office pre-installed but I have this banner showing up every time I open it, is there a way to disable it for good?
Looks like whoever you bought your laptop from installed a pirated or non registered legit copy. Short of buying a real license, there is no legal way to get rid of the banner that I am aware of.
