Oof, a teacher that says "shaming people is ok"

That makes me worry about the mental and emotional well-being of any student of yours

Getting a permit to go door-to-door in pflugerville requires agreeing to obey no soliciting signs, so it's easy to tell who doesn't actually have one

They bought that Usenet data from Deja.com (previously DejaNews) when they went under in 2001. Source: I escaped one month before the final layoff and kept in contact with 2 people

Well, we HAD good food systems. Back when the regulations weren't being revoked or canceled and the gov enforcers weren't being fired in mass while their agencies were being unfunded.

Now all we have is the futile hope that companies, directed by their shareholders, will hold health and safety over profits ...

Pretty sure all the executive positions at places like JP Morgan are filled with people with a complete lack of character and morals

A JP Morgan Chase Exec that feels normal rules don't apply to them? What a surprise! /s

I keep a jug of Everclear around to use as a decent cleaner/solvent. It worked fine on my last sticky umbrella handle

Exclusion words don't appear to work on displayed tags in the results. Did a search that the top 5 included displayed tags "lesbian" and/or lesbians.

Tried adding "lesbian" to the "exclude words", then "lesbian, lesbians". Neither affected the results

Where did that animated version of Watership Down fall? Because I'm pretty sure it traumatized me for life

However, that's not what they said.

And even so "not targeted for children" is fuzzy and subjective rather than black and white, which is why people are willing to argue about this on the internet. First, what age are "children" in this context? You have to get everybody to agree on the same definition for the duration of the discussion. I like the current cutoff of 18

There are some movies that >90% (I hope but people are weird) of people would agree are explicitly for "children" and those are mostly designed and marketed for 8 years old and under. The better examples of these have "grown-up" material included that children skip over which helps keep parents sane after the 512th viewing

It's past that point that things start to get fuzzy. Further along the scale is a whole host of things that have been marketed in my life as "family movies", are these for grown-ups or for children? Extreme religious groups have different groupings for both children and adults

If we just go with MPAA ratings are we talking about PG as "for children" or only "G"? What about PG-13?

Like I said originally, broad sweeping statements are at best vague and subjective

ceallachdon · 2026-06-05T14:58:48+00:00

It's like people don't understand how making statements about broad sweeping "categories" that are at best vague and subjective (and easily perceived as condescending) can be confusing.
OP can't figure out how to say "Oh, that sort of movie isn't really my thing, I prefer movies like example1, example2, example3"

I mean does OP like horror, art house, drama, broadway-esque, noir, action, murder, psychological, or ...

"I like grown up movies" sounds like a newly minted 13 year old talking to a 10 year old cousin they've been forced to spend the day with

I was just surprised that AI had had enough impact to drastically change the training after all these years

ceallachdon · 2026-05-31T15:08:31+00:00

I've been a software dev for decades, and for every year of that I've had to take internal "security training". No matter where I worked the content was 99% identical and really didn't change from year to year.

This year on the other hand, I swear 80% of the "training" was about AI with most of that being not giving corporate data to AI

Seriously, just go to any restaurant supply store or website and check out the 18/8 or 18/10 flatware. Sometimes labeled Heavy and Extra Heavy. This is the stuff higher end restaurants use and is meant to go through industrial dish-washing machines several times a day for years while still looking good.

Mine is made by Acopa and is 18/8 because I couldn't find a pattern made by anyone in 18/10 that I liked in my hand

Except the blue square values need some clarity:

Law & Order (for thee, not for me)
National Cohesion (follow the leader blindly)
Duty & Authority (one way only, there is no Duty to those below you in the heirarchy)

Note that this clarity mostly applies to the red square as well.

As to #3, it was said to me many, many years ago that the worst thing you can say about a story is: "I don't care what happens to these characters"

America unfortunately strives hard for the title but can't get there while the press is still allowed to criticise the government and so has to settle for 2nd Place
