It's because there's a disproportionate number of bad-faith actors starting threads in this community.

Even though there's no stupid questions, it turns out that there are many terrible people.

True, but not "one pun intended", which is the punchline here.

It's all fine - I was just pointing out why I prefer the other version. Yours is good too.

I think it might have the edge, though, because "no pun intended" is an actual phrase people use...

I think this is the key. If the plane's going anyway, the additional environmental impact of you being on it or not is essentially moot.

As for whether the plane should be flying in the first place, well obviously not.

If it helps you rationalise it at all, if anything you're making the plane more efficient by essentially halving your friend's carbon footprint.

Have you considered an electric shaver? It doesn't cut as close, but by the same token, it also doesn't scrape across the skin. You'll avoid catching the tops of any spots that you may have, and until your skin becomes happier with wet shaving, it'll keep the whiskers away.

Before you post your request, have a look here:

It's a platform for setting up your own custom marketplace, which is exactly what you're describing. It's a no-code solution and pretty customisable.

At the best, it might give you an immediate solution to your needs. At worst, it'll give you a starting point to explain to your dev what you want. Win/win.

As a developer, it looks clear enough to me, but I'd suggest two changes.

"Status updates" - You don't say who you want to be able to view the status of a posting.

"Bonus if you can connect it to my Wave account..." - probably better to phrase it "Ideally it would connect to my Wave account...". You're listing requirements, after all.

Also, you might need to consider adding an admin page where you can manage accounts, see all jobs listed, etc. although the rest of the post is high-level, so maybe it's something to bring up in the discussions.

Finally, I'm sure you realised this already, but the last lines of the AI response are for you, and not part of the text itself.

A return of the concept of "unamerican" art and activities, to support the destruction and suppression of said things.

I'd normally say book burnings first, but those have been an on-off thing in some parts of the states since the 50s.

So I'll go with "officially endorsed" book burnings. Not officially organised, mind, but an actual expression of support shown.

Sports go sports! #

Athletics are number one! #

Participants are heroes! #

Go team yeah! #

Edit: looks like I can't use hash symbols to show that they're lyrics - Lemmy thinks I want them to be headers...

Edit2: fixed the hash sign problem thanks to parlordrolap below.

"You'll be pregabalin' these capsules"

That's not the definition of a game, though.

Loads of games need co-ordinated access to specific resources, from chess to the 2001 release of Halo. Doesn't mean they're not games.

The line between games and sports is entirely arbitrary, and changes from person to person.

The imaginary hypothetical outcome is the version of you that would have happened without beatings. You stated that you felt corporal punishment had a positive impact on many aspects of your personality. What are you comparing it to? A hypothetical alternative version of you that hadn't been beaten.

Bad faith markers:

• No previous post or comment history.
• First post is on a contentious topic.
• Sentiment of the post is unusual - "I don't support it, but I was abused for an unusually long time and I think it was good for me".
• Call to action is particularly baity - "is it just a coping mechanism".

First of all, I want to make clear that I strongly suspect that this is not a genuine question, and has been posted on bad faith.

But to answer the question, the truth is that it's impossible to know. You're comparing a known outcome to an imaginary hypothetical one.

The real question to ask is, even if it was the case, do the ends justify the means?

Is it ever ok for an adult to physically attack a child in their care over, let's face it, trivial matters?

This alternative Trump totally looks like he could be leader of the UK Conservative party.

I'd group Audi drivers and BMW drivers into the same class of obvious driving.

Just yesterday I saw an Audi swoop from the slow lane straight into the fast last between two tightly-spaced cars in the middle lane. Without indicating.

From a technical point of view, I'll admit it was an impressively small gap to sneak through, but it probably gave the second car in the middle lane a heart attack.

The big difference between the US and China is that China is often close to the bottom of the supply chain.

America doesn't have the infrastructure already in place to supply the raw materials and basic essentials to manufacturers.

Until this is the case (and I'm phrasing it optimistically but the reality is it never can be the case), all manufacturers have to pay extra just to have access to the things they need to produce their goods.

This cost is passed on to the consumer.

Like another commenter pointed out, there just isn't a domestic supplier of many products. Crucial rare earth metals and various other minerals just aren't available. Heck, to my knowledge, there isn't even a domestic manufacturer of light bulbs anymore.

Without putting anything in place before implementing these tariffs, he's guaranteed that prices will go up on almost everything.

Come on, that's not true. We just want to "re-educate" you guys

I don't know what to tell you. When it comes to school shootings, it's politics all the way down. There's a reason that the US is the only developed country selling bullet-proof gear in the back-to-school section.

• Question is about explaining terrorism to kids.
• Kids go to school.
• School shooters famously also target schools.
• Kids are aware of terrorism due to the constant threat of a school shooting.
