I would prefer to use Lemmy, but it simply doesn’t have some things that reddit currently has. It could in the future, but it doesn’t have the user base yet.

I wouldn’t say they were taken care of in this case…

But regardless, that’s a hardly an amount that would prevent someone from trying to do this again.

That’s helpful to know, but man, that’s hardly fair compensation for such a terrible thing.

They’re only asking for 38,000? Seems really low…

Maybe I’m just missing some crucial info, but an amusement park seems like a fundamentally different thing than software.

Most plastics are not inherently toxic.

Link?

Honestly, I bet he has the skills, he just didn’t use them because he didn’t care, or is overworked, or for whatever reason.

It’s not forbidden.

No idea. I guess we’ll have to see the revised version to be able to tell.

My thoughts exactly.

They are overtly sexual… but not moreso than many other ads.

Forced relocation of more than 20 miles or so (some reasonable amount that doesn’t require a move) should not allow a company to get out of severance. That should be illegal.

It really depends on the topic. The big topics in Lemmy are better. But there’s a lot of niche content that just isn’t there.

Thanks I’ll give it a shot.

And Linux has come so far in gaming. The worst part isn’t the games themselves, but all the other crap companies make you install. The stupid Ubisoft and ea apps are the only reason I use windows at all.

Why do you put maliciousness in quotes?

Kids absolutely can be malicious. Sure, it’s a small scale but kids can absolutely manipulate. Asking for an apple , if they really just want an apple, is not manipulation because it’s not malicious. Little Susie telling her sister Jess to give her her soda or shell tell their parents about how the window broke is 100% manipulative though.

I think an educated populace is an invaluable resource. But, nothing is stopping someone from not going to free college if they want.

By my ex wife.

Sure, but usually the term manipulation has a negative connotation.

In a sense, when my kid asks for fruit, they are manipulating me. But that’s not what anyone means. They mean a kind of devious persuasion.
