Are kids disallowed from hanging out in parks, school clubs, or others’ homes now? What’s changed?

Excuse me, don’t mind me. I just came to receive my downvote from OP like everyone else.

You’ll pry His noodly appendage from my cold, dead hands.

It really, really depends on the instance’s users. So long as they’re tolerable, there’s rarely a reason to defederate. If you host mostly trolls, spam, illegal photos, or hateful content, tolerating it is unnecessary. I’m not here to interact exclusively with folks who seek only to regress my understanding, personally.

Relatedly, the most delightful folks exist on a broadly defederated instance, beehaw. Also relatedly, solarpunk hosts my second favorite userbase. You guys are fantastic.

I’m a bit surprised at the ieee hosting nontechnical articles. How long have they published “news” in this capacity? Archive.org suggests 2021 but it may have been earlier. Seems a poor decision for an ostensibly professional website to branch out like this. God, I hope .gov sites never start hosting blogspam.

Given that spears and halberds exist, what’s what’s the utility? Hidden for assassin shenanigans?

I mean, if a military were to have the financial means to offer a cannon to every soldier, they would. Economics are the backend of every war. In 600 BC, a flexible sword would be both far more expensive and less effective than a spear, which is the crux of my question. I only read the wiki after my comment so I take back halberds. 7355608 proposed an interesting use case in a casual carry belt that feels reasonable.

“Thaddiffer, I do say, what are those Frenchmen doing across the hill?”

“My dear Billiam, I believe they’re attempting to flank us. Shall we preemptively prepare a ceaseless 500 grape shot barrage to render them, the landscape, and everything else within a quarter mile into an unidentifiable vapor?”

“No, no, we shan’t be rude, we simply must offer them first volley. Anyone for tea in the meantime?”

*raucous agreement*

(Yes, I know what you’re referencing but this is magic “everyone gets a cannon” canon)

Being entirely untouched was what made it funniest. Welp, joke’s over. Everyone go home.

TikTok suggested that its users should petition politicians and the public to prevent its punitive purchase. It’s just kids with degenerating attention spans.

I dislike lemmy.ml having an unwritten code of conduct upheld via admins but that really doesn’t extend outside their instance. Their users are largely fine so I’m fine with the instance. I do avoid their communities, though. Those are unpleasant due to the code of conduct.

I thought I was clear in my attempt at blindsiding that user by first defending them and then disagreeing with them in both substance and spirit. My b

Every time. Still a net positive despite the issues involved in live oral vaccines. If you argue otherwise, you’re being contrarian.
