And for people with blood clots! Locking your knees prevents blood flow and can get those clots forming faster.

Since locking your knees while standing makes you pass out, I wonder if locking your knees while seated also makes you pass out.

Not to mention the fact that many people don’t know what FOSS means, given that it’s not used widely outside programmer circles and nobody ever defines the term.

I’m still hoping we get more of the general population on lemmy to help it grow, rather than only be filled with programmers.

Did you roll the Mint into the manager’s office with a note “looks like I’m rolling out of here!”

That’s interesting, I didn’t realize that a photograph counted as part of the directory information. I figured that was why photos are included in the list of items on the parent consent forms sent out every year.

It was my understanding (from admin, teacher professional orgs, and teacher unions) that pictures on websites and social media need consent to be posted. So we were told that any student without a consent form had to be edited out or blurred on any picture posted anywhere.

Let’s hope they dont turn violent, like the Krogan after the genophage.

Which country are you talking about? Us federal law required consent to opt-in. As far as I know, FERPA hasn’t received an update concerning that.

That’s true while on the street or in a public park. That does not apply to students at a school function. There are laws protecting students in such a situation, which is why in the US, parents have to give permission for images of students to be published.

In schools, they normally have parents fill out a form giving consent to use a student’s picture. There should be a way to revoke that consent.

It’s only outdated to the rich families who can afford brand new games for their kids. Excluding discs is a great way to force many out of the market.

Not only does the love triangle not make sense, but it really only serves to erode the significance of friendship of Legolas and Gimli. They were supposed to be first friendship between an Elf and dwarf in a long time

Right! That’s a good chunk of a down payment on a house of their own!

This tenant obviously is close to having the means to owning their own home. They blew ~50% of a down payment on a house that they don’t own.

The smart thing to do, would have been save the money and use that towards a house of their own.

Oh! You meant conservative hatred for the LGBT people. When you said “hate of the LGBTQ+” it sounded like LGBTQ+ people were doing the hating. So I thought the first half of your comment was about LGBTQ+ hate and the second half about conservative hate in a both sides hate kinda fashion.

This is the anti-sodomy laws wrapped up differently. SCOTUS didn’t blink an eye during the Lavender Scare or during the raids on LGBT+ places and arrests of the community until Lawrence v TX overturned those laws in 2003.

Hopefully SCOTUS would strike this down, but I’m very doubtful that they would. A more entrenched R president is better for those currently on the bench.

They have shown through the end of Obama’s presidency and during the end of Trump’s presidency regarding empty SCOTUS seats, that they are willing to bend the rules in their favor. Don’t forget some of these people were cheering at the thought of making Trump a king. These aren’t reasonable, upstanding citizens we’re talking about.

That didn’t stop the US from becoming a major superpower in the 58 years after WWII when policies like this were in place nationally. It’s the Lavender Scare all over again and the return of the anti-sodomy laws in different wrapping paper. Don’t forget those laws were enforced until they were overturned June 26, 2003.

What hatred from the LGBTQ+ people? We just want to live in peace, sure there are many that are angered by the right and their continued assault on our rights. However we aren’t working to constrict them.

Concrete Genie also had some beautiful moments!

Video game

Horizon has some beautiful moments

Back in the day, I thought Oblivion and Skyrim had some beautiful spots although it may not be as impactful now as it was upon release.

Board Game

Sagrada is a game where you are building stained glass windows and I think it’s pretty.

I haven’t seen a deductible that low in a very long time! As a teacher, I think our lowest deductible offered was 4 or 5K.

The right has always been very organized. The church helps keep then organized. Fox News keeps them organized as they are all fed the same crap. Politically, the Tea Party helped organize the neonazis and neoconfederates, giving them a louder voice and recruited more of the like. Then the Tea Party rejoined the Republican party shoving it much further to the right. Around that time, they also figured out social media, which gave them an even louder voice.

When Obama was in office, the news wasn’t as focused on them, so people that were living in Blue states weren’t as aware. In the south, it was still a battlefield as you lived next to people with these beliefs.

It’s their level of organization that has made the Republicans such a force to deal with. Before social media, the fringe groups stayed on the fringe of society and weren’t given a voice through various forms of media. Since social media, they have a much stronger voice and we have discovered how easy it is for people to be manipulated, like with the Jade Helm scare in TX. If you don’t remember this, there was a social media scare going around that Obama was going to take over TX and imprison those who didn’t vote for him. The posts claimed that there were a bunch of Walmarts that had been emptied and were going to be used as makeshift prisons. The posts also claimed that Obama was hiding his plan from the public by claiming it was a training exercise named Jade Helm. So effective was the scare, that Greg Abbot (who still remains governor of TX) ordered the TX National Guard to watch the US army perform its training to prevent the army from arresting civilians. In reality, the US army was just performing practice exercises around Fort Hood, which is a little north of Austin. Years later, it was revealed that the scare was the work of a Russian troll farm experimenting with social media to see how disruptive they could be.
