IMO that’s not the issue

The issue is the lack of safeguards. In our rush to call out the dad based on the headline, we shouldn’t let Google and the banks off the hook. The dad should have set limits on the card/account and paid closer attention to the kid’s view/ad activities, but both google and the banks benefitted from the poor design/usability issues that led to this.

EDIT: Since it was the company card, maybe the dad couldn’t have set limits on there. He used the company card on an older purchase, and since it was tied to his account, google offered the card as a payment option when the kid went to boost his ad. While I’m at it, screw the advertising industry that made YouTube into the mess it is now.

As for this bit

why is a 9 year old even allowed to post to YouTube

I remember about 15 years ago, a lot of kids wanted to post gameplay videos and music/art they made to YouTube. Some parents handled that poorly yes, but others took the time to watch the videos and approve them before anything was uploaded.

Kids want to explore their interests and it can be healthy to explore it with them, and teach them things along the way. Telling them no outright might push them to do it anyway, but this time without supervision.

Oh ew

They might not even be from toilet paper. People buy cardboard tubes for crafts, and it’s possible this person has a bunch left over after a project: https://www.michaels.com/product/12-pack-cardboard-tubes-for-crafts-319186376196276228

Seems more plausible than if someone has been collecting toilet paper roles in order to sell them for super cheap

Meanwhile, the presence of lead in gasoline and paint back then, might be the actual reason for 80% of what’s wrong right now.

Many of the lawmakers and elected officials grew up in environments that had that lead exposure

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead–crime_hypothesis

The lead–crime hypothesis proposes that the sharp decline in crime rates in the industrialised world in the 1990s and beyond, after decades of increased crime, can be attributed to the reduction of lead poisoning. Lead is widely understood to be toxic to multiple organs of the human body, particularly the human brain. Concerns about even low levels of exposure began in the 1970s; in the decades since, scientists have concluded that no safe threshold for lead exposure exists.[1][2] The major source of lead exposure during the 20th century was leaded gasoline. The hypothesis argues that the removal of lead additives from motor fuel, and the consequent decline in children’s lead exposure, explains the fall in crime rates in the United States beginning in the 1990s.[3] This hypothesis also offers an explanation of the rise in crime in the preceding decades as the result of increased lead exposure throughout the mid-20th century.[4] Other explanations have been proposed, including situational crime prevention and interactions between many other factors with complex, multifactorial causation.[5]

If we had more time, then you could have sent back the lotto numbers from 5 years ago

The original post sounds sarcastic too, does anyone have more context?

Is this a certain type of rabbit or is it normal to shave them while leaving a moustache?

To be fair, wikipedia does this too and I find it helpful. The problem is the color scheme

My friend managed to find a compatible eraser at some stationery store while travelling, but he couldn’t tell me exactly which one he went to. This was before we could just order everything online, The best part was that you could use up the eraser a little bit to get a snug fit, you can’t do that with the yolks.

I don’t know why more stores didn’t carry those erasers

Why is this marked nsfw 😄

This deserves another post

Yea pretty much, it’s the same as old video games that had the sprite loop through an animation when you were standing still, instead of having the character freeze in place

If everything was still, I might as well be flipping through a PowerPoint

but I got a bad feeling that I might’ve looked like an enemy or something to them

I haven’t heard this phrasing before, what does it mean?

:(

I second the advice to join more communities. I’ve been subscribing to more and more things over the years and my feed always has new content

I recommend these guide pages. The first two are for how this place differs from Reddit, and the third one is for how to easily find more communities to join

• https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-started
• https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/threadiverse/detailed-overview
• https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/threadiverse/finding-communities

Which is great, but it’s not always convenient.

For example, this article

how do you handle backups without making it a second job?

Shouldn’t this be automatic once it is set up?

The heat part is harder to deal with. Some computers are more power efficient than others

It would depend on the specific antibiotic and specific probiotic. Each antibiotic will kill a certain subtype of bacteria (ex. Those that have a certain type of shell). So it’s possible that they will go their separate ways, or you’ll waste both by reenacting osmosis jones.

Now this second part is something I’m not sure about. I used to think that it makes sense to have probiotics after an antibiotic treatment is complete, since you can repopulate your gut with healthy bacteria once the harmful bacteria has been eradicated. However apparently the science isn’t settled on that: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190124-is-it-worth-taking-probiotics-after-antibiotics

XCancel is actually one instance of many that was running the Nitter software, so it was pretty close to what you were describing. People could run it themself, or pick the specific server that they wanted (ex. One closer to them).

Unfortunately, the software project itself got shut down: https://nitter.net/

I imagine we’ll see forks on other code repositories soon enough.

What is the gameplay like, the screenshots make it look like a mosquito simulator 😄
