Idgaf about leeches.

The point of that kind of thing is open access to the media. It’s not some kind of non monetary business. I’m not injured or out of anything if someone can’t port forward and needs to just get stuff. I can’t always share from every device, and me grabbing files than is no worse than when I can.

The only time leechers matter is if it’s slowing down your connection.

The zero thing was hyperbole, but there are numbers available. Voter fraud has never been significant enough to matter, despite being non zero.

And no, not everyone can obtain the mandated IDs. It’s a real problem specifically because the mandated IDs are harder to get for the poor amd disenfranchised.

Nah, there were early studies on this pre-internet, which also means pre-smart devices.

I can already answer that one: essentially none

Hang around down undah much?

Bad body lol.

Between arthritis, a deteriorating back, and the extra clean-up and work involved in maintaining bread making (be it sourdough or with commercial yeast), it was just too many spoons.

I keep hoping my household will settle down enough that I have the inner and physical resources to get back to it though! There’s so much peace in the process.

Allaya’ll damn yankees go back!

Damn, I miss making bread. Just seeing the title makes me want to restart my sourdough culture

I’m stuck in DDD land too. It totally sucks, and you have my sympathy

Most of the time. There’s rare exceptions. It’s the old “if your only tool is a hammer” thing.

Sadly, part of those are just not wanting to take on a high risk patient at all.

But there are surgeons that will give advice based on the actual patient needs and recommend other treatments, and outright refuse to do a surgery.

But, yeah, surgeons in general assume that a patient coming to them needs surgery. That’s partly because they don’t tend to get patients walking in the front door independently. They’re going to be seeing patients referred to them by someone else that thinks surgical intervention is a possible best choice.

They’re also trained to think like surgeons. Once they’re into training as a surgeon, they learn the human body, and thus the application of medical science, as something that gets operated on. Every problem becomes one to address in that way because they’ve spent years shaping their minds to be very good at that.

It’s really no different in that regard than an it guy thinking of a computer problem in terms of their specialty, or a mechanic wanting to rebuild something that might be fine with a spray of wd40 and some duct tape.

Hell, surgeons regularly have to deal with patients insisting on a surgery when other modalities are more appropriate. It’s a thing they gripe about

Can confirm, their mom carried me to school often, and only required infrequent lubrication. Wasn’t great up hills though

I don’t think they approach necessity tbh. At best, they’re a bandaid, and a crutch for parents.

But the drawbacks of the laws that have been implemented so far, and are trying to be, as vast overreaches that give a false sense of security with no real benefit. They also do that by placing even more information into the hands of the very companies causing the problem in the first place.

That’s where regulations would focus in an ideal world, limiting the companies from causing the problems in the first place, not slapping bad patches over them.

Yeah, and that’s how you get shitty age verification laws.

It’s a double edged sword

Yeah, and 6.9 is something nice broken up by a period

It’s the astroturfing that’s objectionable.

Just for the hell of it, I don’t know about OP, but I don’t even know how to.

I went to the relevant linked section and couldn’t find a way to raise an issue directly. I’m going to try again, and if I succeed I’ll return here and make a top level comment for anyone scrolling by and wondering. I’ve never tried to do this before, so I’ll see how it goes.

Edit: aha!

You have to go to the issues page and select the “new issue” button, where you’ll be directed to log in to github.

Which, for me, means I’m finished trying. No desire whatsoever to have another login for a one time thing. If I ever manage to learn enough code to do anything like this often enough, I’d do it, but it just isn’t worth it to satisfy my curiosity about the process.

Well, it started Here

Then it expanded Like a contagion

Until Random, unconnected individuals started spreading it

But, Lemmy got it in a different way so the spread isn’t as severe.

Go into the light charade-anne

Then they didn’t schedule a day to go, they just decided to roll up.

I dunno, it isn’t universally beneficial.

Votes, particularly down, can have a cooling effect on assholery.

Voting is faster, and people are lazy. So there’s a tendency for people to just vote and scroll on. Remove down votes, and you get more snark if mods don’t intervene.

It’s kinda hit or miss though
