This post was about AI? I really never would have guessed.

Here's a question for you: In what ways has panicking about things that you cannot control helped you in the past?

Please settle a debate. A kid in the womb is better off listening to stuff like cat in the hat so it can be read to it at bedtime? Or history of the world during the womb and read it later? in c/[email protected]

Not with that attitude.

I really don't believe either of those things will do anything at all.

Do you believe that the people should be able to have guns to protect themselves, or should the police have the sole authority to own and posess guns to protect the people? in c/[email protected]

The difference is that guns have only one purpose.

People can get hurt during an accident while using a tool, but for a gun, something gets hurt every time it's used as intended.

I don't think we should be using power tool regulations for guns.

My list of suggestions for regulations does not mean that some of them aren't already in effect.

As for the rest: ok.

I'm not against gun ownership, but it needs to be regulated.

Compare it to your car. You need to prove your ability with a test, carry your license with you, register your vehicle, and in some places, it must pass an annual safety inspection. We do all this just to get to work and back, but I can stop at one of many stores within 10 miles of my house and buy armfuls of military hardware designed to do nothing but kill.

Handguns, shotguns and hunting rifles are all you need. Small magazines, no burst or fully automatics. Everything gets registered.

Some extra context: There are a LOT of areas in the US that are rural enough that wildlife is a serious threat, and hunting is a sustainable option for meat. It makes no sense to tell those people they can't have one.

I think I've only ever seen 2 or 3 places in my life that didn't have physical menus. I didn't walk out of the ones that didn't, but I haven't been back to any of them.

"Tuesday" which sounds like "twos-day" is day number 2 in the week whether you one-index and start your week on Monday *or* zero-index and start your week on Sunday. in c/[email protected]

I don't know what library books have to do with any of this.

I just heard a little girl (10ish?) hanging out with her friends down the street yell "CORIOLIS EFFECT!" and it's driving me crazy thinking of all the possible reasons she would have said that. (lemmy.world)

And now my wife finally has stackable laundry in the kitchen.

My kid brought this thing home today. (lemmy.world)
 

He went to a yard sale with his mom and this is what he picked out.

I watched a professional wrestling ring get constructed today. (lemmy.world)
 

Not at all what I expected. It's just a big metal frame covered with wood planks, mats, and canvas.

Data Scrubbing Tele-mortgagers (lemmy.world)
 

In the past 24 hours, I've gotten three calls from mortgage companies looking for my ex-wife. I was pretty sure that she wouldn't put my phone number on her applications, so I asked the last guy who called how he got my number. He explained that they watch EVERYBODY'S credit, and when a mortgage inquiry pops up on anyone's report, they call every number that's ever been associated with that person, just so they can try to snatch the business from the company that ran the inquiry.

One of the callers, after being told I was not my ex, proceeded to read off her birthday and ask if that's when I was born. "No, but thanks for sharing her private information without permission."

If anybody was thinking about using Rocket Mortgage, I would recommend that you don't. If they are this shady on cold calling, I wouldn't trust anything else they do.

He needs some extra hands to pick up a snowblower. We haven't really talked in years. It'll be nice to catch up.

Just a thought that crossed my mind today.

If I was to ask everyone that you've ever interacted with (IRL) what their general opinion of you is, what do you hope the most common answer would be?

Would you hope they consider you a successful person, physically attractive, smart, the best in your field, etc?

Personally, my answer is "A good, kind person. Friendly and helpful."

Just wondering what the rest of feel.

EDIT: Based on the first few responses, I'm thinking I should have clarified better.

I'm not talking about your legacy after you're dead, I just mean right here, right now. You have left an impression on people. That is inevitable. Surely there aren't that many people that don't give a fuck what anyone thinks, but I must admit, it is a valid answer. Maybe you are the person who doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks. 🤷🏻‍♂️

DMs are just writers that have an idea for a story, but don't feel like writing a book. (lemmy.world)
 

Kind of a shower thought, and maybe it's just how I run campaigns, but it feels like there's a lot of parallels between DMing and that guy who has a great idea for a book/movie but will never write a single page.

The DM comes up with "So what if there's this guy with this magic power, and the only way to beat him is through a very specific process." And then all the Players decide: who are the characters? What do they do? What do they say? How's it all work out?
