I’m not saying it’s the answer to all of this, but read up on the philosophical differences between the Free Software and Open Source movements.

It was all that extraterrestrial PCS technology.

Yep, username checks out.

Hey, that’s the combination on my luggage!

But seriously, thanks for sharing. Looks like there’s some good stuff in there to learn from.

It’s “businesses,” by the way.

You joke, but

Shigeru Miyamoto stated that “Kirby” was chosen partly in honor of American lawyer John Kirby, who defended Nintendo in the Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Nintendo Co., Ltd. case

Here’s a shortcut: test if you could drop “his” into the same spot and have it make sense. (And of course you’d never write hi’s or his’s.) If “his” would work, “its” would work.

It’s “its,” by the way.

Federating with another instance essentially means caching/rehosting their content, so it’s easy to see why some instance hosts may not want to deal with that from particular instances. As others have said, you can join an instance that’s more open to everything, or just host your own.

No, I think they’re just going to watch it a bunch of times.

An electric kitchen scale is such a game-changer. If you convert ingredient volume into weight and something ends up being a fraction of a gram, especially when reducing a recipe, no big deal.

Those adults might still be children.

It’s not perfect, but having thin pillows that are a bit worn/broken-in can make then less likely to spring back into their flat shape. The way you place them can also help… for example, rolling downward toward the mattress instead of up, rolling the bottom one and placing the top one across it to hold the roll in place, or placing two half-rolled pillows in a, uh, “69” orientation so the pillows keep each other’s roll in place with friction. Depending on how you sleep you also might be able to train yourself to shift position/roll over without lifting your head, but that’s more of a challenge.

Two thin pillows stacked and oriented vertically. Thinness is key because they’re easy to fold or roll to “make” pillows of various shapes and thicknesses, to support whatever position I feel like lying in.

It’s polite to knock first.

Sure, but you can do that for free.

I didn’t spell out the connection entirely, because I thought these key phrases would be enough to communicate it:

my partner was like “No, you will not.”

This wasn’t a statement of fact on their part, it was about forbidding me to say the thing.

But the point wasn’t the waitress (…) It was about my partner who, for about five seconds, probably wanted to die.

There’s the crux if it. Whether the waitress reacted by thinking I was a grown adult acting silly or was actually that ignorant, I felt no embarrassment of my own, but I knew it would reflect negatively on my partner. Think about their wounded pride of having to be seen with/connected to me, having “chosen” me. Because, honestly, my intent was to embarrass my partner by association, and I feel I probably surpassed it and achieved “mortify” status. (A stronger form of embarrassment.)

Overall, a type of benign violation, which the Lemmy hivemind, well-meaning as it may be, simply can’t fathom.

Btw, your German filmmaker story was funny and cool, but as you said, your intent was different.

If physics is this strict, the flesh of your enemies is going to pass unharmed through your fangs as well, and that would be sad.
