Not particularly unpopular an opinion IMO

We’re taught this concept many ways, it’s even one of the most famous lines from Spiderman: “with great power comes great responsibility”

Responsibility here being synonymous with “caring”

This yank special brew?

I was more referring to the choice of “Reload Anytime” versus “Commitment” modes at the start of the game.

Though on 2nd look that’s not quite the same thing as the OP

Omg why is this not universal. The number of times I’m 99% sure I just saved, but will do it again just to be sure

Rimworld: if you wanted to play on tutorial difficulty, you should have chosen that at the start

Someone with better knowledge correct me if I’m wrong, but:

Hospitals because you don’t need to interact with the pager to see the message it’s beeping about (the doctor’s hands may be occupied and/or they want the quickest possible response)

Prisons because if a prisoner got hold of a receive-only pager, it’s a lot less of a problem than if they get a two-way phone

All of them, it’s a matryoshka doll situation

Big thanks OP for the read,

You don’t see posts like this on lemmy every day and I’m grateful to have seen this one

Last I heard they’re still heavily used in hospitals and prisons, though that is pre-covid intel now

I think you’re possibly looking for Wero and its predecessors (iDEAL, Giropay, etc)

It’s relatively new in its current form, but I think it’s being adopted across the EU at an alright rate

Tbh that’s part of the reasons I want Levi’s ones specifically, they have been very consistent with sizing in my experience

Yeah this is my life, I’m 38-40 waist depending if I’ve been looking after myself.

Basically that size doesn’t exist on the high street, and it’s never in stock online. I literally have to buy summer clothes in winter and vice versa because that’s the only time I stand a chance of getting it in my size. I’ve wanted to buy a new pair of shorts from Levi’s all summer and despite checking every week, I’ve not seen any in stock once.

And that’s all before it arrives and then all the shit you mentioned can happen.

Twos on that mate?

Yep

Americans call them pillbugs or something like that

Counterpoint:

Hyphens are generally for compound words, e.g. turn-signal

En dashes are for ranges, e.g. 20–30

Em dashes are for breaking up sentences—sorta like somewhere between a comma and a semicolon (like this)

Em dashes alone aren’t a sign of AI—I use them all the time

Though I also swear a lot so I haven’t had many direct accusations yet

Controversial surfaces more trolls and low effort content to the top over universally well received replies. If everyone thinks something is valuable over something only some people think is valuable, people should see the former first by default. If we make a point of prioritising stuff that only ~50% of people like, we’re only going to alienate new users and ultimately stunt growth of the fediverse.

If anyone actually wants this, they can just change their user settings at the end of the day. New users should see uncontroversially well received content first.

FWIW if this actually happens it’s more likely the act of sending the message has made the server realise the user is no longer online.

It’s inefficient borderline impractical for a server to send a frequent ping to every single user to check they’re still online, usually it waits for them to perform an action within a certain timeframe and if they don’t then either send the ping to see or just decide they’re offline/away.

If you send a message that doubles as a ping to check

Idk what you lot are doing
