Hypersexuality is a real symptom of mania and I can see how a manic person might mistake it for a porn addiction.

Obvs out of my league.

I had a coworker who used to dress like this, his go-to was a naval peacoat with a top hat.

On Halloween he came to work wearing a hoodie and jeans and it freaked everyone out.

I actually dont understand why we not do something drastic. I mean like ban cars and planes.

Talk so some other people about your idea and you'll understand why we don't.

Idk why people bother anymore

Insurance benefits, ability to make medical decisions for your spouse and visit them in the hospital, access to your spouse's accounts if they die or become incapacitated. Lots of legal benefits you wouldn't think about until you need them.

Sorry, I meant they generally have no authority over the content of cable broadcasts because it would violate the first amendment.

Example From the link you posted:

Section 505 states that cable operators or other multichannel video programming distributors who offer sexually explicit programming or other programming that is indecent on any channel(s) primarily dedicated to sexually-oriented programming must fully scramble or block both the audio and video portions of the channels so that someone who does not subscribe to the channel does not receive it. Until a multichannel video distributor complies with this provision, the distributor cannot provide the programming during hours when a significant number of children are likely to view it In 1996, the Commission adopted interim rules to implement Section 505 of the 1996 Act. The interim rules established the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. as those hours when a significant number of children are likely to have access to and view the programming. However, before the rules could take effect, Section 505 was challenged in the courts and a federal court in Delaware issued a decision (Playboy Entertainment Group v. U.S.) which determined that Section 505 is unconstitutional

Thanks, I appreciate for all the work you do for the site.

Only pinned for a day on a weekend? I feel like there's a significant segment of folks who only browse Lemmy at work.

The FCC has no authority over cable, they can only regulate content on public airwaves.

A feature that is consistently misused is a useless feature. Either get used to them being used to express disagreement or admit that they're a failure and stop trying to make them work.

This page has a table of instances with a bunch of info including whether the instance has downvotes.

If it annoys you, you could consider moving to an instance without downvotes so your feed will act like they don't exist.

I absolutely cannot comprehend why a normal pokemon battling system wasn't included.

Because it doesn't fit the design of the game.

Pokemon Go is meant to be played while walking around outside. This means you can't have a lot of text because glare from the sun will make it too hard to read. The real battle system also requires more congnitive load than most people can handle while walking and takes too long which will lead to people stopping for extended periods of time at which point you're no longer playing a pedometer game.

You could have insulted them without insulting people who have down syndrome.

And that one congressman represents 500k people, Meanwhile each of Florida's represents 800k people. Why should the people of Florida's votes be worth 60% of a Wyoming voter's? Why should we not just give Florida 11 more congresspeople so it's even?

Yes, fanart is almost certainly copyright infringement unless the copyright holder grants a license. Many companies have an official license for non-commercial fanart and generally nobody cares about it but if someone really wanted to they could absolutely file takedown requests against all fanart of their work.

The Senate was the solution, the house is meant to be population based but they ran out of space in the chamber and capped it instead of just building a bigger room so now Wyoming is massively overrepresented.

Delicious in Dungeon had a running joke where the dwarf kept thinking the halfling was a child and complimenting him for "being so skilled at his age". Eventually the halfing gets frustrated and says he's 29 to which the dwarf and elf reply "oh so you are a child".

You just opened a can of worms

That's so cool, I love it!
