Yes. Depends where you are but generally, huge advantages/consequences of not being the legal guardian in a bunch of areas, if that kids in trouble with the law or needs medical care and relies on you, you absolutely want to be a legal guardian.
There are also usually tax benefits (which you can spend together!) Though also, possibly legal responsibilities if they are a minor (though that seems to vary etc.)
It's like if I somehow got into the olympics for gymnastics and spent my routine doing the hokey pokey, the other athletes would think I'm making fun of them. I think at least, that's where the hate in the breakdancing community comes from.
As for wider hate, I don't recall seeing much, I think online most just thought it was funny as hell.
I don't have the app (well, for main facebook. Still have messenger as a friend group uses that as the primary communication medium) but do have a few friends who live elsewhere on there so keep it around. It's also my yelling into the virtual void place but with feedback from folks I know.
Except this time, for all its evils, I have AI to suggest meals/recipes based on what Canadian produce looks good and is at a reasonable price in the store.
Don't have an answer but I'm genuinely surprised and impressed that the majority of responses aren't people being snarky about religion and instead, just folks trying to help you out!
In that we murder a bunch of people, other folks weaponize the mob to murder specific people so as to take their stuff, eventually descending into a situation so bad that we appoint a successful general as a dictator?
Dressing in drag had been a staple ofEnglish comedy for decades if not much, much longer
In the first world war guys were doing it for concert troupes (essentially, vaudeville acts by and for the soldiers.)
I love it! Really made browsing more enjoyable and I feel like it sort of rewards others for being interesting (in as much as a comment or reply from me could be considered a positive.)
I responded to a "why do Conservatives feel x" sort of of post as I have a few conservative friends and we'd talked about it.
Ended up in a multi day back and forth where I was accused of being everything from Hitler to sociopathic and had one person follow my comments around for a while afterwards.
And in the end? I feel no one was informed and none of it had any reward.
Ha, I have a similar process. I use Connect as my app which has a feature for user notes, so if I've tagged someone with a good note, I try to respond and vice versa.
About 20 years ago I spent the year after high school in Europe. Went backpacking to Italy with friends, one of whom was absurdly handsome, not all that bright and quite forward.
Well, in Rome we met a group of pretty girls who spoke no English but with sign language and a phrase book we figured they were visiting Rome as part of their high school graduation fun. Got a number and promised to meet them in Naples.
Fast forward, we arrive in the evening in Naples with no plan or place to stay hoping to connect with these girls.
We find a payphone, handsome fella grabs it and starts dialing. And then we hear:
"Uhhhh. Ci? Is... Uhhh. Shit. Is your daughter there? Your daughter? Hot daughter? Phone? Fuck. IS YOUR DAUGHTER THERE? I'm the guy from Rome? FUCK!"
My guess is it's a combination of things. A lot of lemmy is driven by a few prolific posters, many of whom enjoy star trek. Combine that with a nerdy userbase (linux being the other big subject) and you get a lot of trek.
