Awful little creatures make the most fun characters by far regardless of game or setting.

That’s just asking to have online shopping become much harder, requiring more identity verification than just having a credit card and an address. Which is maybe beneficial overall; it would cut down on fraud, but I doubt it would be a popular change.

So what happens when a store is out of raw meat, or raw vegetables, or raw fruit? What if someone is a vegetarian, or has allergies or other dietary requirements that prohibit certain items? Who’s monitoring and enforcing this (and how much is that monitoring and enforcing costing?)

Rather than spending the time and effort policing what food people buy, why don’t we instead spend that time and money addressing the poverty problem that makes SNAP necessary in the first place?

Yeah, if the goal was actually to make people eat healthier, he’d be trying to limit the availability of those items to everyone, not just poor people.

The biggest ones for me were the Marathon series, and a lot of old shareware RPGs (Realmz, Exile).

The 3rd title in the Marathon series came packaged with all of the tools they used to make the game, with which you could very easily make new maps and wild mods adding or changing weapons, enemies, mechanics, etc… I spent an absolutely unreasonable amount of time fucking around with that.

The maps were very rudimentary 3D (think Doom style), and they weren’t really 3D spaces so much as just corridors and rooms connected to each other. You could have a corridor that turned 90 degrees 3 times with no elevation change, and passed “through” itself, without actually having the two intersecting corridors connect in any way, which let you make some really wild maps with some pretty unique features that would be challenging to pull off in modern games. (There was even a multiplayer map called 5D Space that really showcased this interaction.)

I don’t care if he does. I don’t care if he was holding an “I AM A GANG MEMBER” sign when he was picked up. I don’t care if he shouted it from the rooftops. He was disappeared to a foreign prison with no due process. No matter who it is, or what they did, that should be alarming to everyone.

Ohio being on the list is pretty funny (assuming this is in the US). Going to make geography and history classes awkward.

What grade is this, that Edging and Goon were common enough terms that they had to be included here?

“Animal noises” is very broad. Furry persecution. :(

The fact that they lose “LiveSchool points”, whatever those are, presumably for saying these words, is almost worse than the fact that they have this list at all. I don’t know what that system is or how it works, but I already hate it.

Hectoring is to act domineering, or to try to intimidate.

Find some simple recipes, and follow them to the letter. If it says to add something “to taste”, just add a small amount of it and assume it’s fine. As long as you aren’t trying to invent your own dishes, or improvise somehow, you should be fine.

Really depends on the object. If it’s a collectible item with a value that’s open to interpretation, I sometimes do, especially if I’m considering buying multiple things. (For example, CCG cards priced at $20, I might offer $70 for a playset of 4.) Those things don’t have firm market value (or that value fluctuates frequently) and there’s usually an easy way to look up a price range quickly to get a sense for what’s a fair or reasonable offer.

If it’s something someone made and is selling, it feels rude to me to haggle. The item has no real market value because it’s something they made; the price is what they’re willing to sell it for. I’ll either buy it for that price, or not buy it at all. I guess the exception would be if they’ve got a sign inviting haggling, which I’ve seen at convention spaces on rare occasion.

Price definitely seems high, but at least it’s a decent meal for kids. Nice variety of things; most places around where I live just have a tiny portion of a single dish as the kids’ options.

This is me any time there’s a friendly kobold in any game. Deekin? Koll the Red? Popper? That’s my jam.

Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.

I’m in complete agreement with you there. If Luigi Mangione gets the death penalty, we should absolutely take to the streets and riot.

In 2023 a federal judge convicted him to 90 consecutive life sentences, after he pleaded guilty of hate crimes and firearms violation.

Holy shit.

This might be controversial, but I’m glad he didn’t get the death penalty. Not because I don’t think he deserves it, but because I don’t think we should have the death penalty at all.

Is Beehaw doing something different from the rest of lemmy? You can log into any instance with any of the apps.

Sure is. You might check !lemmyapps@lemmy.world for some suggestions, but there’s many.

(Refer to the pinned megathread.)

Especially if they’d help carry your bags and whatnot; that could be very helpful for someone who has mobility issues or just has a lot of things they need to bring. Well worth $7.50

In a hypothetical world where every service that wanted to be kid-friendly was willing to make two versions of their site, and where the obvious security concerns were solved, and where it could somehow be quarantined away from normal users, how would a kid even prove they were a kid?

The issue (in my eyes) is that this isn’t limited to discord. Anywhere online where kids are allowed to be, predators can also be. Fuck, even Roblox apparently has a big predator problem. So if we make it the responsibility of platforms to police, we’re setting ourselves up for a world where you have to have your ID ready to scan in to any website you visit or service you use that lets you interact with other people in any way, no matter how mundane, and there will be no internet services where anyone under 18 is allowed.

Or, we just accept that there’s no reasonable way to keep adults and kids from intermingling, and we make it parents’ sole responsibility.
