yeah, I've heard of this e-mail, I keep hearing it's really easy, but idk...

oh, Microsoft got even better at spying on people?

come on, this is a bug, not a feature.

I do not pirate. I occasionally like to go out to sea, but I feel like spending long stretches of time out there would suck. I'd get sunburnt, I would eat like shit, my ship would probably not have decent internet access... like, there are so many cons, and I probably would make less money doing that than I am as an attorney. Not a great career path.

I do download movies I want to watch if I can't find them streaming. But I don't do anything that I'd call "piracy."

that holds more weight in my mind than it probably should...

edit: it's true-ish, and apparently many people associate it with BTAS! https://www.inverse.com/science/can-you-read-in-your-dreams

I have not heard of this as "common knowledge." I can't particularly remember reading in a dream, but I don't remember much about past dreams. Is there a source here, or is it just something you've kinda heard a few times?

What do you mean "still true?" The stereotype was never true.

There were Italian mobsters. There were also Irish mobsters, Jewish mobsters... There were mobsters of just about every major immigrant group in the US, especially if they were marginalized. Organized crime allowed these communities to not only build an economy of their own, but police themselves when they didn't trust the police.

The stereotype doesn't come from the fact that Italian mobsters existed, it comes from their portrayal in the media. The Godfather was popular, Al Capone was famous, so people got into it and made a ton of movies about Italian mobsters. That's all.

Any tips on cooking this? I assume the hot dog bits cook pretty fast? And I assume they give a lot of flavor, are there any seasonings I should ease up on to let the hot dog shine?

yeah, you got it. obviously, since we're trying to balance multiple different factors, it's not necessarily a "correct" response, but it addresses the question directly and well.

OP is kind of asking which names are common in the largest variety of places. Is there a name that's kinda- common on every continent?

supposedly, the Feds at some point gave up on Gotham and said "fuck it, it's hopeless, let them keep to themselves, as long as they're not leaving we're good.

and then try to find one there that is somewhat common in the US too... good luck.

I think you straight up ignored OP's explanation of their question. OP explicitly addressed why Mohammad is not "the most universal name" by his meaning.

When will companies learn that taking a 2D thing and making it 3D does not automatically make it look better?

A TV journalist I know helped shed some light on this.

He used to write about one article a week. Usually a review, sometimes an article article.

Nowadays, they have him write about seven "articles" a week, but six of them are SEO-optimized factoids. You know, those articles where you're looking for the premiere date of a show, but they're six sections long, the premiere date is the last section, and the first five sections look kind of like they were written by a human who hates his job? Yeah. They make actual journalists write those, and they want them written well, because Google's idea of fixing the SEO race was to prioritize long articles and articles that look like they were written by humans.

So these articles are created by humans, they're churned out fast, and they have a few sections represented by headers that directly answer common search terms / questions. The more common the question, the further the answer is buried down in the article.

These articles aren't serious, so they expect you to get six of them done per week on top of your actual job, but they still want you to put effort in and write them well so they don't look like chatgpt garbage, and so that, when people click on them, a fraction of a percent of those people actually stick around on the website and look at more ads.

Toxins exist in the water you drink and the air you breathe, unless you distill the water to the point of actually being dangerous to consume.

A small concentration of toxins is absolutely unavoidable. The presence in potato skins is pretty negligible.

To the extent that you're not a dick about it.

Don't be too confident in something you didn't research enough. Don't be too loud about shit you don't understand.

Don't be haphazard with the truth about things that can put peoples' lives at risk. Don't make shit up about vaccines.

Don't lie on purpose. Don't lie or bullshit for attention. Bullshitting with friends for fun is obviously fine if they know you're not serious.

If somebody points out your mistake, understand what they're saying, learn from it, and be gracious about it. Don't double down just to save face, that'll only ever make things worse.

Yes, it is casually connected. Child labor causes time that would spent learning to instead be spent related to labor and recovering from labor. This in turn causes reduced academic performance, increasing the likelihood of poverty, which in turn causes increase in criminal behavior.

Ah, you meant in the long run, yeah, fair.

I agree that labor by minors is should only be allowed in very specific cases and highly regulated. I'm not sure if I'd limit entirely to non-profit organizations, or entirely to the summer, or whatever, but yeah, it's not something to take lightly.

Growing up in suburbia, the labor we did have wasn't a problem... Is the general regulatory scheme around child labor in the US deeply problematic in some way I don't know about? Are there a lot of states that are way too permissive?

Well, let me play devil's advocate.

• You don't need a two-way binding contract to form a labor relationship. You could have a relationship where an employer offers a child some terms, and the child can work whenever they want, leave whenever they want, and get paid for the time they work, or for their output, or something.
• Does the labor cause the poverty, abuse, and crime? I'd imagine that the poverty causes the labor, and the poverty also causes the crime. Abuse might also cause the labor, as parents could force their kids to work, but you could create systems at certified child employers to interview Children and see how their home lives are going. The children might also be using work as an escape—either a temporary one, or a way to save up money to move out as soon as possible.
• Generally, when people talk about the age of meaningful consent, there's a clear line at or near the age of majority. Where's the line where you can meaningfully consent to labor? Does it depend on the job? Sure, five year olds shouldn't be allowed to work at all, but what about a fourteen year old who really wants to be a camp counselor during the summer? I worked at a park when I was 16, I mostly sat around all day. I read three books (the ones I had to read for school and one more), I went for a walk every day, I got fresh air, I talked to people. Surely we can agree that that was fine.
• We should definitely talk about the types of job. No kid should be a factory worker or an accountant or a dentist. But working in a park, being a camp counselor, babysitting... There are many traditional jobs that apply to children with no risk of physical injury, jobs that don't conflict with schoolwork, etc. Do those studies address each form of labor?

I assume it doesn't work for lemmy - kbin or kbin - lemmy?

I do not use "whatsapp business," no idea why I would.

I do not seek to use a service and then interact with the people who happen to be on that service, I seek to interact with people and meet them on the service they're using. The fediverse is an exception, because I believe in the principles, but the experience sucks because it's all tech with no real community (Lemmy/Kbin) and none of the people I want to follow (Mastodon).
