Yep. We need a law that says "a person owns any item or service they buy for a one time fee. No 'licensing' them out of ownership" or legalese for the same thing. Only loophole should be if it's outright advertised as a subscription service.

Then another law that guarantees access to schematics and repair parts for reasonable fees. No loopholes. Schematics or die, that's how I roll.

Another already commented.

But the general rule of thumb I use is that if it could literally get someone seriously injured or killed, I downvote.

According to your comment history you're okay with it as long as it's those "libtards" being maimed or killed.

I think the fact that it's sarcasm is a given. For that reason I didn't see a need to use it.

Some of it has to do with the audio equipment too.

Like I can hear the difference on my high quality headphones when connected to a decent USB audio interface device or my Denon home theater system with Technic speakers. Barely, while a difference is there. But can't tell on my gaming headset or PC speakers.

And my ears are messed up. Had two sets of ear tubes when I was a kid and have some scar tissue on my eardrums which resonates with odd frequencies sometimes.

Now I'm even more glad to have ditched the streaming sub model to buy music instead. Of course new releases may follow and go up by $0.10 per song.

You can always count on the right winged politicians and voters to prepare for disasters instead of trying to prevent them.

Tbh, my upvote policy didn't really change when I moved to Lemmy.

Something has to be dangerously bad for me to downvote it.

I upvote anything that seems interesting or agreeable to me.

Despite your edit, from what I can tell of being born and raised in the USA, there isn't really a concept of non-sexual nudity, outside of locker rooms/campsite bathouses, some restrooms, and of course, nudist communities/beaches.

Even just taking a leak somewhere that is somewhat secluded if there are no restrooms can land someone a public urination and maybe an indecent exposure charge.

Went with the Henson AL13 medium I just got in the mail from Razor Emporium.

Soap: PAA Briar Aftershave: PAA Briar Blade: One of the RK blades the AL13 came with

So far I love the AL13. One thing to keep in mind, it is a very light razor and may require a tiny bit of pressure. A bit of an adjustment from my Merkur 34c. Not too impressed with the RK blade though. Felt like it wanted to skip but I could tell that it wasn't the fault of the razor itself. May start putting my supply of Astra blades in it once I wear down the RK blade that's in it.

I wish. But what I know of the current affair of things, I can only hypothesize two outcomes:

  1. The benefit after the costs of potential rescue, and now the discovery of 5 recognizable pieces of the craft, will be a learning moment and there will be more regulation of deep sea diving for tourism in the near future. And the families of the victims will say that's enough and probably name the legislation after one, or a few of the victims.

  2. The family of the victims will make sure OceanGate will never build another deep sea vessel ever again. This one will depend on the legal logistics. Just like how some airlines caused airliner crashes due to pure negligence, some of the first-class families weren't able to sue them into non-existence due to international airspace and/or waters protections.

Because either of those two things are what typically happens in such a scenario. At least lately.

I may give them a try. If I did have a learning disability or sight issues, I would have tried third party apps though (Reddit's app support of screen readers sucks).

Personally, especially given that context and that the third party apps have better moderation tools too, I think it's very important to allow people to use third party apps, if the first party sucks.

So that is why it was important to me to take a stand on that too.

[–] dgilluly 1 points 1 year ago

That's why I took a stand even though I didn't use Apollo myself. I think people having a choice of what third-party apps they want to use is important regardless if I use it myself. I stand with you on that.
