It’s not a very solid point. They said they may become necessary at some point, but right now they’re irresponsible.

They’re not ruling it out in the future, but their focus is on today’s problem.

I mean, yeah. They’re the only ones trying to hold out some reasonable constraints.

But why when they’re clearly doing what they want anyway.

More likely they just got hit.

Yeah, but it might take years for these slop companies to actually collapse under the weight of their own tech debt. Do you know how many quarters that is!

It’s a teen drama mostly aimed at teens, but with a sex scene.

Watch episode 6, skip the rest.

And again, with the revelations is quite tame. There’s that whole Lake Michigan thing.

That’s not how taxes and charity works.

If you spend $100 minutes on charity and “write it off”, that saves you $30 on taxes. You’re still down $70.

(You only can claim itemized deductions if you have more than, roughly $12k of them, 24k if you’re married.)

I don’t think awareness, testing, or mitigation of radon was common until about 2000.

People still play this one. http://mud.arctic.org/

Though I didn’t mean it has to necessarily be text-based. More that that ancestral path was more interesting than the WoW one. This is what EverQuest was born from.

One of the bigger differences is that not everything was questing. You just explored, and part of your motivation to level up was the ability to explore places that were previously inaccessible.

Here’s a free one for you.

Discard pretty much anything learned from or after World of Warcraft. That game warped the genre for decades, largely for the worse.

Go back to MUDs. Iterate from there.

It’s not that it’s a new concept. It’s that boys definitely are referred to as “males”. In years past it was probably more common than hearing “females”, though recent trends (incels) have likely changed that. It’s a nitpick that stuck out to me also, but it’s a small point from a more important larger point being made by a 15 year old. Maybe someone should have caught that in editing, but it shouldn’t be a big deal. And we can afford to give the kid that much leeway.

Sure, that’s off.

She’s 15. Take the value out of the article.

You really saved us all with your not voting.

charging Dingus with voyeurism

Ohio Revised Code Section 2907.08 | Voyeurism

(A) No person, for the purpose of sexually arousing or gratifying the person’s self, shall commit trespass or otherwise surreptitiously invade the privacy of another, to spy or eavesdrop upon another.

I wouldn’t take a Lemmy comment as evidence either way.

World News?

What’s the real purpose here? It’s not drugs.

Subservience to the FCC and the administration is the excuse. The real reason is that David Ellison is afraid the dem might win.

The majority owner of CBS is Paramount Global, which itself is controlled by Skydance Media, a company led by David Ellison (son of Larry Ellison), following a significant acquisition of the Redstone family’s stake in mid-2025.

Either that or it’s exactly what it says on the tin. I wonder which is more likely.
