Yep. I used to work in a store where people would ask if some specific food or drink could be paid for by food stamps/EBT all the time. I was like, idk, lets run it and see. 50/50 chance you can buy anything, and no explanation for what’s covered and what isn’t. It sucks to tell someone they can’t buy their favorite food for their birthday.

My insurer just announced that the addiction counseling service that used to be provided for free to members is going away. Is addiction no longer a medical issue?

When children are kidnapped, the kidnapper is most often a family member. It happened to a good friend of mine. I don’t see what good cell phone location tracking really does against that, though. A kidnapper can simply take a child’s phone away and toss it.

I’ve never heard of children putting an ice pack in their lunchbox. No one did this when I was in school.

Nice. I loved the first one.

Their fanciness is genetic.

MixedBread is nice.

In my experience, regular police or sheriffs’ deputies can still see details of “expunged” court cases in their system.

Beautiful cat.

That’s insightful. Never thought about that.

It seems pretty common. I used to hear stories like this from Lyft drivers all the time. You’d think police would have access to more accurate records.

There may have been a relative increase in the numbers of creators on YT after monetization was introduced, but it wasn’t on a scale that one person could perceive. Even before monetization, there was more content, of every type and subject, than one person could possibly ever watch. Videos starting to look slick and professional was the most visible result, but I don’t feel that this corresponded to an increase in quality. Professional Youtubers post constantly, even when they have nothing to say, to stay visible. Because Peertube’s space and bandwidth are paid for by server owners, who are mostly average individuals, I think it would be bad for them to attract that type of creator.

YT became popular before monatization existed. It was a hobby and a form of socialization for many people. I’d rather see Peertube be that than what YT has become. Monatization is what ruined it, imo.

Wow, that’s so sad. I loved Pycharm.

It’s been discussed on the official forum. No news recently.

Win 2k was my favorite. Ran well and gave the user total control over the system.

I didn’t know all of that. What a story.

This was always a possibility, though.

Same thing the guy who delivers my pizza says when he’s taking my food to someone halfway down the block.

Boomers are in their 70s and 80s now. How do they even have Gen Z coworkers?
