banned phones at the dinner table entirely

I would everyone is doing this. Sitting down to eat together once a day and talk isn’t something only billionaires can afford.

They answered yes while creating a reason to be offended for having to answer yes.

Can’t make this shit up. Impotent rage is some people’s identity.

What’s funny is it’s literally a shared behavior across the entire political spectrum in America but each side pretends it’s only the other side doing it.

what we need is law enforcement

Cool. You want the cops to start executing children on the streets for not obeying commands.

It is definitely possible to travel and not experience culture.

Thinking you understand culture byecuwse you have the internet is sort of admitting your that type of person.

The problem with talking to randoms online is the things they don’t say because it’s their normal. Experiencing those differences in normals is what is being discussed here.

When I was in school this was a literally social studies topic discuss many times over all the years we learned about other cultures which really reinforces that some people dont pay enough attention to receive any value from travel.

That doesn’t mean other can’t or don’t.

You sound like someone who has never experienced court outside of tv or movies.

The courts process is entirely pragmatic. The entire point is to remove all emotions. The judge is not going to presume malice.

The person most at risk here is their council. It they were aware of this stunt they could cause themselves serious damage.

Go onto a court room and hold up your phone, pointing at the jury. Report back on how that goes for you.

These guys went full techbro.

Never go full techbro.

This why most everything is tap to pay now.

If I’m forced to swip, I have card with a low limit I keep just for these places with phone alerts for any transaction. Starting do that after being hit with this while travelling, annoying as hell even though it only cost me my time.

Ignore these people. Delete kitchen and reinstall. Had this happen once and the plumbing and electrical was all messed up too, only fix was fresh install.

Definitely don’t ignore this, I heard about a guy who did and he had to reformat his entire house. Took all weekend.

Silencing a phone does not save battery.

“It’s all about raisin awareness”

Is this meant to be an insult? Most kids are average.

Most parents who think their kids are measurable above average are the ones missing half the stupid shit their kid does.

Depends on how many older siblings they have.

Gallons are still countable.

That’s because you don’t understand infosec. It’s assure you, they are unimpressed despite their polite chuckle.

Based on the downvotes your getting. Quite a few of the people excited for this are definitely migrating to the left of the bell curve.

Lemmy is wierd, the user base has a very inflated view of their own intelligence. For example, some will get confused and think since I’m on Lemmy I must be also guilty of this; their reasoning skills are quite terrible.

It’s weird for them to restrict those without passports, that’s their base. On average people who have passports lean left.

I’m not sure they’ve thought their cunning plan through here because their bubbles are composed of people who have passports.

Companies routinely purchase insurance against their own liabilities.

Cameras are inferior to human vision in many ways. Especially the ones used on Teslas.
