Me right now:

Dude, it’s your platform, Meta.

I was gonna say…“just stop selling them the ad space”. Like, wtf?

I’d have probably thought the same thing except a group of girls played/sang it during the high school talent show, so I already knew it was a real song.

FWIW, they did a kickass cover of it.

Unrelated to the thread, but love your username (took me a minute to get it)

Also, yeah, love the “good intentions until proven otherwise” attitude. Two years here have nearly beaten that out of me (despite me knowing better).

I’m the dev of Tesseract.

New accounts have badges that show their age if they’re between 0 and 30 days old (among other tricks up my sleeve)

LOL, please tell me there’s a “let’s play” of that

• White Chicks: One Thousand Miles

Gracias!

I didn’t say I had a problem with any of that. But spinning up a burner, posting, and deleting everything afterward takes other people’s conversations with it (and those don’t currently come up in search results because the post is deleted). Granted that’s a platform limitation, but it is what it is. Posting from various alts but leaving things intact…go for it.

Imagine being a legit new user and being shunned because your account is not 30 days old.

That’s part of my complaint against the ones doing that “hit it and quit it” bullshit; it makes people wary of interacting with new accounts.

Having had to manually white-balance the cameras in broadcast journalism classes in college, I love this question. Wish I knew the answer, but commenting so I will remember to check back in.

Often, they just spin up a disposable account, post, and delete the whole account w/content after they’re done. It’s annoying AF and incredibly selfish. For a while, it was the same person doing it, though not sure if that’s still the case.

Regardless, those people have ruined things for everyone (especially legit new users) and I will not engage with accounts newer than 30 days. Lemm.ee evacuation notwithstanding, I kinda wish other people took a similar stance and maybe these people will knock that off.

I don’t really mind it? Disorder/disease: I kinda feel like that’s splitting hairs.

ADHD is treatable, and I’m glad it is (otherwise I’d not be functional at all), and there are plenty of diseases you can only treat (versus cure).

I dunno, that’s just not a distinction that’s ever bothered me.

Nothing other than increasing the difficulty for a novice driver. Mostly it’s me going on a tangent and reminiscing about defeating that fucking log lol.

AFAIK, it’s mostly due to how the driving exams are structured.

First you have to pass the written exam. If you fail that, you don’t continue.

After the written exam is the parallel parking test. That’s done on-site. If you don’t pass that part, you don’t continue to the road test.

The road test is last; it’s up to the instructor where you go for that, but it usually is a route that covers various scenarios that were on the exam (4-way stops, crosswalks, speed transition zones, school zones, etc).

I’d guess it’s setup that way because of how many people fail the parallel parking test; best to do that in a controlled environment where there’s no risk to regular people’s cars out in the wild.

Edit: This probably varies state-by-state, too. I’m just describing how it was here.

Kim Jong-un looking like he’s about to ask you to come visit his island for the weekend and perhaps pen a wee testimonial. Wonder if he also has a jet standing by at Choteau?

For me, if I can reach it, it’s “here”. If I can’t reach it without moving, it’s “there”.

My parents insisted I learn on a manual, and while I didn’t appreciate it at the time, I do now.

The regional DMV office where I took my driving exam had the most notorious parallel parking setup in the state. It was two traffic cones next to a very large, 3 1/2 foot diameter log (representing the curb) and was on the side of a circular cul-de-sac. So not only did you have to account for the curvature, if you got too close to the “curb”, you were gonna have a very bad day lol.

If you’re wondering: I nailed it (they let you practice after hours which helped).

What are the chances this opens some eyes / forces development of empathy? (I asked rhetorically)
