Sometimes I forget how long it’s been!

What a loss. =(

It’s a strange quirk of lemmy that we will continue to be able to see content from lemm.ee even after they’ve shut down. It’ll feel like seeing ghosts.

I should clarify that I meant safety rounding at intervals, like was the case with Epstein. He was on Q30 rounds, which were the ones falsified. It would’ve been basically impossible to falsify a true 1-to-1.

This is unfortunately very common even in hospitals. Busy (or lazy) staff just check off their rounds without actually seeing patients all the time, so I think this is 100% plausible in a jail.

They’re still cities, but people tend to start calling them “rural” when you get a certain distance from the big cities and things spread out, often also near farmland and/or nature.

For example, this would probably count as rural.

Ha, I can definitely see how that could be visual clutter. You should also see it for posts when scrolling through the community.

I help mod a handful of communities, and I suppose it helps sometimes when I’m navigating into random threads from my inbox - just as a reminder.

That shield symbol just means that YOU are a mod in that community and can take mod actions on those comments.

I had them! Hurt myself plenty…

Schools (both K-12 and university) keep loosening their expectations of students, and now we have kids starting college with 6th grade reading levels.

School administrators don’t want their graduation stats to look bad, and universities don’t want to lose $$ by flunking students out, so there’s a massive conflict of interest that is ultimately resulting in a disservice to students and society at large.

The other day, I saw this 8th grade graduation exam from a county in Kentucky in 1912, and it drives home how much things have changed:

Wait till it’s so enshittified it’s unusable

Discord is going public soon, so start the timer…

It’s the social media equivalent of supporting a bunch of Mom and Pop shops (or opening your own!) vs some hyper-sanitized, corporate monstrosity like Wal-Mart.

Part of it seems to stem from people’s excitement to infodump about how federated social media works.

That’s relevant and interesting to learn about, but the average person just needs to hear “make and account here and start browsing memes” first.

Haha, I did. I still posted a few, but I was out of town with family for days and was barely on my phone.

Progress isn’t a straight line, and sometimes there are setbacks on the way. I’m disappointed, of course, but I’m optimistic that we’ll manage.

Yes, I’ve used this one before:

My guess is that as the need for housing has increased (population growth, short term rentals taking up supply, etc), we haven’t been building the right kind of homes to fill the void.

Nobody is out there using land to build “starter homes”. It’s either large, expensive houses or apartment complexes, so the demand for home ownership is high, but the ones available to buy aren’t cheap.

It would be like if nobody made affordable cars, so most drivers were stuck either leasing or saving up for a Lamborghini. (Hyperbole, but you get the idea)
