Same happened to me. Then when posting I chose “unknown” or whatever language (not English) and it worked.

Maybe you F’dU, but I think you were the stars of the party.

Me too.

It’s funny-- I grew up in Iowa, which was one of the last states to get modern looking license plates (with pictures and multiple colors, etc.). I always thought that the unber basic plates projected a feeling of being from a backwater that couldn’t afford or couldn’t understand modernity.

Now, those plates look almost like stupid state advertising or pandering, and the basic plates (esp. white on black, black on white, or California’s yellow on black) look retro and badass. Material Design and all that.

I guess I’m just old enough to see the old look new again.

So I’m looking for a magazine that I know is on kbin, that I want to subscribe from here. I’ve tried typing in the magazine name in the address bar (lemmy.world/c/[email protected]), I’ve tried searching in the “communities” search, and I’m just not finding it and getting errors. Direct linking works, but I then I can only subscribe if I have an account on kbin. Help?

Yeah, subscribing to a community on another instance can sometimes be odd on the app. I have more luck using the web version. (Search for the community, click there, and subscribe) I don’t think it’s the community so much as the very alpha-level app and some janky things happening with federation. I tried to give the links the way you’re supposed to for folks originating from other instances.

SBC also voted to affirm the explusions of two churches, including Saddleback Church, which was founded by highly respected author Rick Warren and is one of the largest baptist churches in the country. They claim nearly 25,000 people in weekly attendance. And Warren’s books, including “The Purpose-Driven Life,” are used all over, including in my then-relatively liberal Lutheran church. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddleback_Church

They were expelled because a woman acted as a youth pastor.

Wow. That’s like kicking the Yankees out of MLB because the league thinks that players should be able to have long hair.

The social media provider must “verify, using a commercially reasonable method” the person’s identity and the relationship to the minor.

You cam do that through credit card probably.

Weird. Works for me in Jerboa. What’s the crash?

However for them, it’s not a big deal as the get the following benefits

All undesirable sane and productive users leave for fidiverse or other reddit alternatives. The remaining users will be tame batshit crazy like the users of FB, Instagram, posting conspiracy theories, lies, flames and other content that gets people riled up, but results in more eyes and more clicks. Which destroys Reddit as we know it, but still generates the income that will appeal to investors in an IPO

FTFY.

I don’t disagree, but that doesn’t mean that people don’t do it.

There are tons of “journalists” on sites like Yahoo that simply troll Reddit’s popular subs for content and repost controversial statements/opinions for clicks. That’s an easy way that hoaxes spread.

Of course, the police aren’t going to go arrest someone based on an anonymous post, but it might raise suspicion and/or cause an unwarranted investigation.

And yes, I do believe that if someone publishes something online, they have some level of responsibility for what they post, subject to the protections of the First Amendment (and similar doctrines in other countries). “I get to say what I want and don’t have any responsibility for the consequences” leads to (a) potentially dangerous situations, and (b) really shitty content.

Though:

According to the probable cause statements filed in support of the pair’s arrests, shortly after 7 a.m. that day, a Utah Highway Patrol trooper clocked their northbound Toyota Corolla at 86 mph in an 80 mph zone near mile marker 63 at the northern edge of Cedar City.

The trooper wrote that he began to follow the car and watched it slow down to 70 mph in the left lane, with its driver not yielding to two other faster-moving vehicles that had to overtake it on the right.

So in other words, typical Utah driving! I’m shocked the officer had probable cause to pull them over! /s

You could say he was a pioneer.

There’s a joke about attracting people who like working pipes and experiencing organs that I’m sure you’ve told a thousand times… Though I don’t know a ton about pipe organ-only music outside of the common Bach stuff, my favorite classical piece is Saint-Saens’ Third Symphony, and I really like Percy Grainger’s “The Power of Rome and the Christian Heart” (though the more I learn about him, the more I’m not sure I can like Percy Grainger…). I’ll subscribe! Good luck with your community!

So interesting, because we tried an air fryer (not a dedicated one, but a toaster oven with air fryer capability) and found that we just got stale food that took forever to cool. The Instant Pot is great for cooking beans, caseroles, soups, yogurt, boiling eggs, and creating other awesome, gloppy foods that my Midwestern sensibilities liked. We don’t use ours a ton, but I’m glad we have it.

Instant Brands will continue operating as usual during the bankruptcy process with help from $132.5 million in new financing.

It’s Chapter 11 reorganization, not a liquidation. I think they’re big enough that they’re not going to go anywhere, but they have to adopt a new, much smaller, business model, since pressure cookers aren’t as cool as they were 5 years ago.

I’m glad you’re coming clean. I kinda hope that you go back and delete the fake stories, or at least make clear they’re works of fiction.

Why?

Because people are stupid. They hear an urban legend about a psycopath putting razor blades in apples and all of a sudden no one can have anything but individually wrapped candy during halloween. People overemphasize anectodes to establish political views or actually make policy changes. Academics troll reddit for evidence to support theories. And “news” “reporters” pull stuff from Reddit and report it, often as fact. If it implicates criminal activity or child abuse, that might cause authorities to get involved needlessly.

Maybe your stories aren’t such that they would impact policies, or change political views, or impact lives. I’m sure some of it is just harmless fun (though, when I’d participate in forums like AITA with fake posts, it sure did annoyme), and to some extent, people should be smarter about responding to shitposts. “Throwaway because my friends know my main account” should be a big, red flag. And I’m glad you got to work on your writing skill and voice. I hope you can use it productively in the future, and I wish you the best of luck. (But think about deleting or editing your posts!)

Totally downloading this!

This is a bigger deal. These federal charges are way more serious than what he’s facing in New York.

He was processed in New York, too. I’m going to guess that he’s going to go through this process at least once more (in Georgia). I don’t think he’ll need to be fingerprinted and processed again if there are other federal charges while these are pending, but charges related to Jan. 6 might change his bail or conditions of release.
