It’s not impossible at all. You just have to blur the faces and any identifying marks unless you’ve obtained explicit consent. Kind people already do this regularly.

That’s fair enough. I just wanted to make sure I understand what you meant. I don’t think I agree, but I’m not certain I disagree either.

The parents are also suffering from the negative medical effects of algorithms designed to manipulate and addict. You’re asking why a victim of drug abuse isn’t a more responsible parent.

I’m not trying to do a gotcha, but doesn’t your post also mean that Lemmy is bad and no one should use it?

I’m kind of shocked to realize just how closely their caffeine content lines up with how well I perceived them as headache cures before I learned about migraines and caffeine. I guess that’s how the ancients figured out which plants do what.

What type of behavior? Did he do something to endanger the public?

No one said we know everything about our biology. But we’re made up of particles, just like everything else. We don’t fully understand those particles either, but it doesn’t make them not real or not subject to the rules reality seems to follow.

They actually make little pills you can swallow to take samples at certain locations a long your digestion, so I suppose I could, given the knowledge and resources. Surgical sampling is also possible.

But I don’t see why it matters because all of the bacteria and archaea present in the body are made up of subatomic particles.

We’re not actually individuals; we’re massive colonies of cells that work in concert. Memories and consciousness are both products of chemical interactions that happen between the cells, and the cells themselves are conglomerates of subatomic particles. Everything about us is determined by particle physics, which can be expressed and predicted mathematically.

I don’t mean to argue against flowers, but why specifically Pennsylvania? What about everywhere else?

What if what I’m looking for is an article I can’t read without subscribing, removing my adblock, and/or accepting a bunch of cookies? Or one that sends me away entirely because that’s easier than being GDPR-compliant? Surely you’d click on those results.

Is there a reason an emailing group isn’t a good solution?

No, they don’t. I love technology for its entertainment and educational benefits, but it’s horrible that this kid is so familiar with screens that they don’t understand you can’t zoom a book. Screens don’t allow one to feel textures, see depth, or manipulate objects in space, among other vital educational activities. Young brains need to be stimulated by real-world phenomena in order to develop properly. Our children deserve better.

If, when the ad read starts, you double-tap to fast forward, a little skip button will pop up which allows you to skip the sponsored section.

With a browser addon you can skip automatically without Premium. It doesn’t work with very fresh videos though, because they need time for the timestamps to get added into the database.

There is a TON of educational content on YouTube. You can spend all day watching nothing but documentaries and classroom-style lectures/tutorials if you want. I would prefer to not use a Google service, but the actual content-creators include some wonderful people.

Lately I’ve been considering the idea that people under a certain age (16? 18?) should be banned from television and cinema altogether. My thinking is that it’s a form of child labor, and that they’re not able to consent to fame.

Maybe they’ve changed something since I last tried getting help via Discord, but I found the search feature extremely lacking. I never have trouble finding someone else with my same question/problem, but there’s no means of viewing replies to the message in question, or even whether anyone replied at all. One is required to manually browse potential hours or days of messages in the hope of following a conversation chain that might not even exist. This is made even worse by the fact that replies to a message aren’t necessarily registered as replies because they’re just subsequent chat messages.

You think you intentionally made it annoying to read, but you accidentally made it really fun to read.

I don’t know how difficult the right-wingers have made it to move here in recent years, but Sweden has pretty great trans healthcare. The wait times can be annoying, but are lightning fast compared to the shit I hear from the UK and US, and everything is paid for collectively. It should go especially smoothly if you’re coming in with a diagnosis and prescriptions already from home.

Nearly everyone is capable of speaking English to accommodate the array of international people here, and there are dedicated courses for foreigners to learn Swedish from beginner level through high school. These courses are paid for collectively and can even earn you money through the CSN program which helps alleviate financial burdens while studying.

It’s kind of nuts how generally trans-positive the public is. When I went to get my ID with my new name the cop who handed it to me was really excited and happy for me. It’s not something I was expecting based on the general transphobia of the world.
