In the case of children, isn’t some of this on the parents involved as well? Have the parents of affected children talked to each other about it and reached out to the parents of the bullies to ask if they know their child’s been bullying or however one might go about that conversation?

That said, Apple’s certainly in the wrong in taking advantage of this, and in many ways it’s no surprise. They’re essentially a luxury brand, whose entire business model is exploiting this kind of behavior of social pressure and buying specific products to better fit into a group.

Has anyone tried making a spinning wheel of people associated with communities looking to change moderators and letting it determine who takes on the responsibilities?

Not sure what you mean exactly by a classic style of typewriting […]

Oh! Whoops, I think I meant to write “classic style of typing” there. Appreciate the pointers & reply! I’ll have to look into mineral spirits, not familiar with those

I had been publishing articles on my own website since 2003, but I did that mostly manually by writing whole HTML pages.

Huh, so literally raw html? I know it’s not too difficult, but I have wondered occasionally how many small websites may have been written that way.

Appreciate the reply! It’s a cool way to view it in individual terms. I was thinking in more social terms, however, which I’ve been a little fascinated to find seems to be a little atypical from the replies so far.

This does seem to come closer to what I was wondering about when I originally posted, good eye!

OP asks the real life equivalent of being AFK which, assuming you’re normally regularly online, only really corresponds to being high or sleeping.

The funny thing is, it didn’t occur to me how vague my question was until after I posted and started seeing the replies. That’s made it more fun tbh, and interesting as in this context (online vs. in real life) I’ve not really thought of being online in such individualistic terms as this and some other replies suggest.

Is there something mystical to this?

If shareholders and executives are demanding so much money, shouldn’t they be the optimal target for cuts to maximize profitability of the business? 🤔

Does ffmpeg work best standing? Or is it better spread out? Did it work properly if it finished fast?

Does it sometimes seem like commenting in high traffic online spaces feels this way too, not just Reddit?

Thanks for the reply and note on the pen use!

Oh hey, going there reminded me at some point I’d found this and bookmarked it but haven’t tried it yet, so thanks for the reminder! I should finally give it a try.

Thanks!

Second, as a disposable, dead layer, it also provides protection against UV light and such. We don’t think of living out of water under the direct radiation from the sun as being particularly difficult or the environment harsh, because we casually do it every day, but it was a very hard problem for life to solve.

Oh yeah, that’s a good point! I’d typically be more concerned with the drying out part for a lot of aquatic life, forgetting about the UV exposure issues.

Huh, thanks for the detailed reply! I suspected some of them must have something extra going on to help their time in the water, but wouldn’t have thought this!

Were you able to feel how dry the otter was through the sealed fur, or was it sealed enough that you couldn’t really tell?

I was looking for a word that might immediately resolve questions regarding how it might work and the like, to avoid those follow-up questions and free people up to answer however they imagine it would work. It’s…Kinda worked? Aside from a few replies like this, which I don’t mind, I just wanted to encourage people to roll with it as they will

duplicate duplicate, unless there’s something you’d prefer with multiplidicity

Only an existential crisis? What about existential crises?

Ooh, which drawing app did you use for this?
