Ah, okay, thank you for the clarification

Magic the Gathering, honestly never seen someone say, M:TG (Even if it is more correct)

I love while the there is far less people, we still have the kids table and it’s a few 20 somethings, TBF, besides talking about the crazy uncle we talked about MTG and pokemon.

This is toddler 101. If baby asks you for a treat, and you are going to give it to them, if they start throwing a tantrum over it, you can no lobger give it to them. You might have wanted to give them the treat, but once they start throwing a tantrum you need to not reinforce the tantrum.

100% on EU with this, don’t let toddlers think or act like thier tantrums work.

iirc, it wasn’t named natl. bird bcs you cant eat the natl. bird, and we uh, we like eating turkeys

Age 20-30, has a good bag to carry thier tech around day to day, dislikes american health insurance, and may be mentally unwell without proper diagnosis; Describes every college student I know.

If the more concrete evidence is you where within a few miles of the incident in NY, as well know NY is not a dense urban city…

It’s all hard to say, rampant distrust of the police means, knowing they are desperate to pin it on anyone, we can’t trust what they say.

Wait I feel like I remember reading about stuff like this in the early days if stock trading, people making fake companies, selling stocks and running off, more stringent rules started being put in place in the 1920’s-30’s

Lots of IT still in the military also some of the “contract out” is done by reservist and is tied to their military contract. Those still in military are your tier 3 IT and admin.

Why? and the What if?

Why did it fall? You pushed it. Why? I don’t know why you pushed it? Why did it fall down? Do you mean gravity? Why does gravity make things go down? and on and on

now some of them moving onto what if…

and I love this

I am scared, there might be a ghost. There is no ghost, we made sure there is no ghost. What happens if there is a ghost? IDK, maybe we could call ghostbus- Ghostbusters aren’t real. So glad I got called out then because I was ready to pull my hair out

Exactly I had difficulty finding content and any “guide” or anything I seemed to find was too confusing or not practical for me. I don’t use Twitter, blue sky, or mastadon regularly but when I checked them all out, blue sky was the best in all round; “Ease of use” and “easy to find content”

I was going to reply with this. This is exactly one of the problems. I didn’t have a Twitter, but I wanted to join mastadon. I had to find a way to access it, and an instance to sign up on. In theory it’s good but for a new user it can be difficult to sign up.

Then ofc the difficulty of finding content, there is content, but part of the no frills meant most of the stuff I saw wasn’t in English (I am a mon-english speaker) and it was tricky to figure out how to juat get English content let alone content I was interested in.

Too many friends and distant family, from marginalized communities telling me “They don’t mean me, I am a legal American citizen”

YES! Still have a poster kicking about from the “finale”. I loved the series growing up. RIP Edd

Do you mean color? No, no I do not.

It’s crazy how expensive it is too. At my HS, as an ASB rep got contacted by DARE reps once and they where oh its only $15k per classroom. It all made sense when I started to learn its always been a money grubbing grift. It never had a good reason to exist other then excuse to charge alot for busybwork.

If you mean who gets the money from app purchases etc.; The ruling also says Google play billing cannot be required, so each app/developer can use whatever payment processor they want

Reading this, it’s my understanding this ruling says Google must host rival “app store” apps in Google play store and must provide them with a copy of all apps on the playstore for them to distribute. Developers do not opt in to the new app-stores, but they can opt out.

Regulation? In the U.S.? Laws aren’t just made by anyone you know. /Joke Seriously, I don’t think this law is a huge step to solving the issue but American Corporate lobbyist will spin something like this as the second coming of the USSR. Actually that’s been the strategy for just about everything. We do have wayy to many people that’d rather see the country implode then, (oh no) compromise or (aghast) do something good for everyday folks.

Fair, that’s the part where I think a parent needs to have the will and authority to say no to their kid, but I understand that can be difficult. This may do some good but as I am sure some loopholes will form and it doesn’t forbid ads 100%, it wont stop Fast Food ads. Even if fast food wasn’t directly advertised, I believe there is more factors, like the availability of healthy options, many families don’t have the time or money to make good healthy meals. This law is a good thing, but I personally don’t see it as a huge win, just a patch that will be touted to solve problems it doesn’t address.

As I said, I think availability and awareness are as big of factors. I 100% believe most Europeans have better access to healthier foods then many americans. Granted ads may spur kids to bug thier parents but if parents did better at saying no, and could give thier kids better options. I think it’s not just a personal responsibility but a communal, a government responsibility to ensure access to information and food are available. When no better options are made available, there is a problem.
