My dog’s hair is going grey. I blame vaccines

54% of us read at a 6th grade level. You do not hate your neighbors to the south nearly enough

That’s generally how it works if your dog or cat (or squirrel) bites someone. Unless you can provide proof of a current vaccination, the animal has to get tested for rabies. This involves getting a sample of brain tissue. For pet owners that seems excessive, but for someone who has seen a rabies infection first-hand, there is no animal valuable enough to skip that test

There’s actually been around 20 known rabies survivors. It’s a lot more survivable than you think! Of course 20×1 is still only 20, so I’ll still avoid petting any raccoons

For a very particular type of man

Mint is considered the best replacement for Windows because Cinnamon more closely resembles Windows. Personally I can’t stand GNOME, but I’ve heard it more closely resembles macOS

I’m gonna make a prediction before reading the article: either there isn’t an actual plan for how to do this, or it’s actually a plan to surveil adults

Woah hey look I was right

The government says firms must take “reasonable steps” to keep kids off their platforms, and should use multiple age assurance technologies.

These could include government IDs, face or voice recognition, or so-called “age inference”, which analyses online behaviour and interactions to estimate a person’s age.

Platforms cannot rely on users self-certifying or parents vouching for their children.

Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads, began closing teen accounts from 4 December. It said anyone mistakenly kicked off could use government ID or provide a video selfie to prove their age.

Snapchat has said users can use bank accounts, photo ID or selfies for verification.

I do not respect gendered languages. I will not apologize for misgendering a pencil. The right form of “the” for an apple is “the apple.”

Yep checks out. You should consider deleting your account

I still think every person working a cash register should be allowed one free kill at work every year. People would be a lot more polite if they knew there was a chance they could face actual consequences for their actions. Would especially help around the holidays, as you dont know if this Taco Bell employee has burned his kill yet prior to the new year

I just want a version of Reddit where the average user a) is human and b) knows how to read, or a version of Lemmy where the average user a) isn’t a Leninist and b) knows how to read

I have never had a comment mentioning Lemmy removed

This would be perfect because then they could release one with none of the round things and we’d both be happy

I’m confused. Are you blocking users that harass you, or communities where they’re talking amongst themselves? Because like. Ofc they’re going to talk about veganism in a community centered around veganism, and they’re gonna react poorly when you barge in complaining about them. That’s like saying chess players are particularly annoying because they don’t like hearing how much chess sucks on /r/chess

It’s the vegan choice for linux, in that actual users of it aren’t actually that annoying, but everyone else plays up the stereotype so much that y’all think they actually are

I don’t use Arch btw and also I’m not vegan

6! Is it regional? Do you live in kansas?

Peace through bombing shit and killing a bunch of people
