OH MY GOD I REMEMBER THIS ONE.

I remember going back and following literally every single possible story path and never making it to the planet Ultima. And then going through page-by-page until I actually found it.

That’s wild, this must have been about 20 years ago. Thanks for reminding me of a childhood memory.

Kind of misleading headline. She went out of her way to explain to the interviewer that it had nothing to do with marijuana and she was going to treat it as though he had asked who would be fun to be around, like who she would get a pedicure with or something like that.

To recap - a podcast host asks her who she would smoke a blunt with, she pointedly reframes the question, The Hill picks it up and runs a headline implying that she wants to smoke a blunt with Dwayne Johnson anyways.

Fuckin’ tragic. Not the cancellation; the expansion was never going to be more than a soulless cash grab anyways. I mean the takeover (read: theft) of ZA/UM in the first place. I get depressed every time I think about it.

No. At least not in this community. If you follow multiple news communities on Lemmy then you’re going to get some overlap, of course.

This may be true for married couples who started dating when they were teenagers. Since you brought it up, I’d be curious to see what proportion of the couples in the study fall into that category. I have a hunch that it’s a pretty small percentage, though.

While it’s true that there is some stigma against (e.g.) a college freshman or sophomore dating someone who’s still in high school, I don’t think many people in their right mind would object to a 2-, 3- or even 4-year age gap once both partners are at least 20.

EDIT to add: I don’t think 17-year-olds being afraid to date 15-year-olds even registers on the top ten reasons “why people are increasingly lonely.” Your take comes across as very high school-centric.

Should Ruben vet the entire Lemmyverse while he’s at it so he can “dictate what appears in his product?”

As a solo developer with limited resources, one has four choices:

• Choose an existing ad network and do the best you can within its content preferences,

• Put a paywall on your app’s features and hope enough people will actually buy it,

• Work for free, sacrificing your own livelihood, or

• Don’t develop the app.

Clearly they all involve a compromise of one form or another, and I trust that Ruben put a lot of thought into the decision.

The guy had a knife, which might have injured one of the cops, maybe. … they think there might be the slightest minor chance that they could be in a little bit of danger.

I don’t disagree with your overall sentiment that police need better de-escalation training and non-lethal defense weapons - but you need to seriously re-examine your perception of how dangerous a knife attack is. Please don’t trivialize it just to make a point, because it undermines your own credibility and weakens your otherwise reasonable argument.
