Will do, thanks. Did lots of thorough checks when I got it, so I didn’t expect there to be any issues now.

otp, to upliftingnews in South Korea passes ban on dog meat consumption

I’m actually surprised this is in uplifting news, unless outlawing meat consumption at all and enforcing veganism is uplifting. Which it might be to some people, but I like eating meat.

I’m eagerly awaiting lab-grown meat to become cheaper than slaughtered meat, though!

otp, to asklemmy in I got my first cease and desist letter. AMA

If this is your first, what do you think your next will be for?

otp, to science_memes in BIG GEOLOGY

Yup. And to complement this, gotta love when people react to the side effects of water!

otp, to asklemmy in Why are there so many apps that could be websites?

OP is talking about apps that are basically links to websites.

They design the website entirely, but it’s not available through a web browser – only the app. But fundamentally, it’s a website that a browser would be able to run.

otp, to asklemmy in Why are there so many apps that could be websites?

Especially in an app rather than a mobile browser.

otp, to asklemmy in Why was Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan so bad for the American people?

Some people actually use social media to learn or practice another language, so some may appreciate the tip and the correction.

As well, it just looks better when content is written properly. If the questions here were all stuff like “how is babby formed wen women is pragnant”, it wouldn’t seem like the kind of community made for people who are genuinely trying to find answers to their questions.

otp, to asklemmy in Thoughts on reddit reposter bots?

They have their uses. In the Canadian version of r/BuildAPCsale or whatever it’s called, it’s great – get the information about the sale and a link to the product.

In r/relationships, and the entire post and discussion are about OP’s problem, they’re completely useless.

otp, to twoxchromosomes in Uttar Pradesh: Dalit teen cooked alive for protesting against molestation

I’m not sure which quotation marks specifically you’re referring to, but in newspapers, they’re used to indicate exact quotes. They’re not used the way they usually are on the internet, such as to indicate sarcasm or “alternate word choices”.

otp, to privacy in I'm looking for a privacy respecting vacuum robot

OTOH, “I’d like a TB that doesn’t show me its own ads” would’ve been perfectly predictable.

People were predicting it as soon as devices other than computers started connecting to the internet. Maybe even before that.

otp, to piracy in GTA V source code has been leaked.

No doubt. I just couldn’t imagine that much space being taken up by what would effectively be text

otp, to asklemmy in After a lifetime against, I'm considering joining social media. Any advice?

Your username is a fairly common noun and an incredibly common, er, auxiliary verb?

They can’t do anything with it by sticking it into Google!

otp, to asklemmy in I am to celebrate new years eve alone. How can I celebrate solo?

If you have Animal Crossing New Horizons for the Switch, you can celebrate with your animal villagers

otp, to asklemmy in Lemmings in school, what are they teaching about drug addiction, fentanyl, and opiods?

Yeah, this is not the best question because you’ll get very different answers from different parts of the world, or even different parts of the US.

I graduated more than a decade ago, and there was a lot more nuance than what you described. They taught us about different types of drugs and what their real effects were. I remember learning in high school that marijuana is less dangerous than cigarettes and alcohol.

In elementary school for me, there were big anti-smoking campaigns, but nothing about alcohol or harder drugs. The “just say no” was about peer pressure and doing anything you felt uncomfortable doing (including inappropriate touching).
