She’ll find a way to bribe Trump
You mean like... tell him she will spill the details about the redacted stuff in the released documents?

You may not agree with what the military does, but you have to respect them for that reason alone, above all else.
You seem to have strange ideas of what I, or others, will respect people for doing?
I would have incredible respect for anyone refusing an order because they feel that it is illegal.

This seems to be what teachers are reporting.
There's some threads in /r/teachers on that other site which are pretty terrifying. It sounds like the majority of kids are in dopamine withdrawal all day at school.
You seem to have misunderstood me.
Yeah but surely... surely not.
Maybe the blocked doors are just window shutters ? who knows.
Those masks sure are creepy.
Edit:
Actually from the dropbox folder that @pelespirit@sh.itjust.works shared there's this photo:
The pitch of the roof and the position of the doors makes it look like the outside of the room with the night stands in-front of the doors. It looks like they could be used as a kind of pavillion during outdoor events, like a place to serve snacks and drinks.
I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions about the steel bars blocking those doors from the outside. You can see them horizontally across the two doors on the left, and there's one propped against the wall next to the door on the right.
Honestly, I think if they had rooms in which to detain people against their will it wouldn't be like this, but IDK.
Well yeah but just because "they" no longer say that doesn't mean it isn't true, nor does it mean that short form video doesn't "rot your brain".
As in all things, moderation is key.
If you let your kids watch this trash for hours a day they're going to be imbeciles.
I've been trying to get zulip working.
Sounds like it addresses your requirements.
Seems to be a real bitch to self host - I've been doing this a while but the compose yaml is pretty arcane with hundreds of environment variables.
I didn't "give up" exactly but it's been on the back burner for a month or so now.
I don't really have this conversation with people.
This stuff is important to me, it's not really accessible to people without lots of time and the same interest.
Yeah, I do think 20 is too young.
why wait if you know what you want?
This is a fair question but honestly there's so many good reasons to wait.
The obvious answer is... if it's really what you want then what's the hurry ? I mean it's great that you've found your life partner and whatever and that your future seems so certain, but why complicate things with marriage? I'm honestly kinda wondering. Is it the commitment that's important to you? Are you waiting to have sex? Do you actually want to get pregnant?
If it's the commitment that you want, then oh my god marriage is a terrible idea.
If it's sex, then... well... there's probably not much I can say that will change your mind. Still a terrible idea.
If it's kids then if your wife to be gets pregnant before commencing a career you're king of condemning her to a life time of minimum wage jobs. You might be planning for a trad-wife kind of situation but ... plans change. It's a bit like planning for a career as a rock star - it's great to follow your dreams but your partner needs a plan B.
If none of the above apply then there doesn't seem to be any good reason to get married. Spend 5 years living with your respective parents and save up for a deposit on a house or something.

network effect. There's fewer people here so there's fewer people here.
That said, I like it just how it is and would caution anyone against wishing for more users.
Don't focus on getting more users. Focus on making the content here the best it can be.
It's inevitable that the quality of the experience here will change with more users. Whether it's a net positive or negative remains to be seen.
To be sure, these are the "good old days" of lemmy.
