the proposed legislation must not make a criminal out of anyone who's currently a law abiding individual in compliance with all laws, who does nothing differently after the law passes

Wouldn't any new law about firearm sale, ownership, or use do this by definition? If it doesn't change any legal things into illegal things, it isn't doing anything at all. What kind of law can you imagine that would pass this part of your test?

It's a copypasta

Some of them are, but most use other types of projection.

Our idea of a week can probably be traced back directly to early Israelite religion. There's good evidence of a 7-day cycle by the 6th century BCE, maybe as early as the 9th. They cared which day was which because the 7th day was a holy day of rest (still practiced as Shabbat), matching up with the supposed final day of creation. Jews have been keeping this practice for a very long time, so I would guess that we're still aligned with the days the ancient Israelites were following that they thought matched up with the days of creation. Unfortunately, the exact nature of what day they decided was which is lost to time.

Curious how this will interact with RCS. Hopefully it will at least get Apple to natively support an interoperable rich format

I think it's because Amazon sends emails making it look like someone asked a question specifically to you, and the people who fall for that are also usually oblivious enough not to know the answer to the question

Bunny ears aren't a problem! The resulting knot is the same as a standard shoelace knot. If your shoes are coming untied a lot, you probably are tying granny instead of square. Make sure that if you cross one way on the base crossing (like left over right), you cross the other way for the bunny ears step (like right over left). All the info in the link applies to bunny ears.

Federation would also mean that you could use your account from threads to comment or post on Lemmy. So a Threads user links to a Lemmy post, the post could blow up with users who aren't familiar with the culture here. I think a lot of people aren't saying it, but they're worried about their cool, new favorite platform getting swamped with "normies."

My grandpa used to brag that he could always tell you the time to within 3 minutes if you asked. Meanwhile my ADHD makes me utterly time blind

How many of those forcibly displaced and nearly wiped out the previous "owners"?
