The outside is more than that park or hill that was closed. Unless it's illegal just for kids to be outside, in which case I'd say yea that's unfortunate - but it's not the norm. Also arrested or worse for trespassing on

I was replying to your other post, but I guess I can do it here... I would argue that there's a reason those articles were written about the incidents. They don't happen as often so when they do, news articles like to highlight th

What? Literally anywhere outside - are you saying most kids back then hung out at arcades and minigolf regularly in their free time? We couldn't afford that. I remember playing at the hill you're talking about - or a park - or jus

Suburbs have been a thing decades longer than smartphones. With the exception of helicopter parenting, nothing's changed with options available for kids to play outside. Smartphones altered the meaning of "interesting things to do

At least I disclosed my asterisk. When was the last time you read about someone getting a huge bill who also said “btw I don’t have insurance”? Every time it’s just - Don’t take the ambulance or you’ll go bankrupt. And then you have people

Wife had to get an ambulance ride a few years ago in the US. She was apprehensive of getting it because this - wrong - information is repeated over and over online. It and the hospital trip cost a few hundred with insurance. This is why we

The DMCA implementation implemented is the only thing that saved youtube from getting sued out of existence. And people on the internet don't know what fair-use actually means, so they complain/exaggerate about DMCA takedowns when

Youtube isn't some mom n' pop operation - they do have a review process and make an attempt at following the rules they set. They can ban you for any reason...but they generally don't unless you're clearly breaking a rul

From the report button on a youtube video: Misinformation - Content that is misleading or deceptive with serious risk of egregious harm. That sounds like a quagmire of subjectivity to enforce. You can argue whether generated content was cre

The problem is that there wasn't a rule that could be used to take a misleading video down. Now there is. Finding out a video is maliciously fabricated is a different problem.

From your comment's tone, it seems like this is supposed to be a bad thing. The only people who would be upset about this are folks who are trying to pass generated content off as real. I'm sorry if I don't have much sympathy

I’ve been using weather.gov as a no-BS site for getting local weather data that I knew would be stable (cough, DarkSky, cough). I’m a bit concerned that the ReadMe seems to only describe covering emergency events+broadcasting in 2.0. I coul

Yep. Though I'm hoping my point can be extrapolated outside of the soda example as well. Coke/Soda's just something I'm picking on

by speff 3y ago
It is still a pricing competition. Sure Coke costs more, but they're also riding on their brand recognition to bump up their perceived value. No amount of brand loyalty would save them if they had to undergo the price jump that comes w

Your first sentence is the exact reason why propaganda thrives in social media. There's an understanding that fellow people are somehow more trustworthy than Big Media. The part that's not considered is that people on a whole are

If coca cola's your example, then I'm going to affirm that yes, it is the lifestyle that generates garbage. People don't _need_ soda. But they want it at a low price that's cheaper than Pepsi. You know what that means? C

That's generally why I distrust any of the anti-woke comments about these generators. It's incredibly easy just to fake evidence with these tools and people just lap up the results. Yea, it's a problem when actual historical

You can get that. It’s a business account. It costs more because that’s the actual price of a dedicated line with an uptime SLA.

It's interesting that you would frame it as freedom rather than financial independence. Neither my wife nor my house has ever felt like a shackle to me.
