I don’t know which jurisdiction you’re in but, while it isn’t illegal in the UK, you’re absolutely right about it being a bad idea and you are correct about the reason. In the event of a crash, it could count against you (in the UK, at least).

The data showed that the chance of scoring rose when teammates showed their support through touch. The effect only appeared after a failed first shot, which makes sense because such a scenario is likely to spike stress levels.
Of course, the data is not shown. And the study is not able to draw causal conclusions. In this case, they’ve hunted around and found a subset of shots (second shots after a first failed shot) where it’s true. And it’s easy to make up reasons after the fact why that might make sense.
It does seem very reasonable to hypothesise that supportive team mates make it less likely you choke on the second shot. But they haven’t shown this is down to touch (they just used that as a proxy for supportive team mates). Nor that the percentage of successful second shots after a failed first shot would be improved by more touching regardless of whether team mates are genuinely supportive or quietly seething…
There’s only 23 players in a squad and, traditionally, only the numbers 1-11 used on the pitch. There are no good reasons for 44, let alone 88, to exist.
“Ban” is a clickbait word. Adidas has decided not to make any more of them because it doesn’t want to be associated with Nazis. Oh noes.
The age of consent in Washington is 16.
That’s a problem for people who use Meta. How is it a problem for people on Mastodon?
But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t federate in other ways.
How does it federate in ways that affect users?
Mastodon is unusable if you follow Lemmy communities, so no one does.
But that wasn’t my question. If a Lemmy instance I am on federates with Threads, how do I find people on Threads, follow them, and have their posts appear in my Lemmy feed? The people who are saying it can be done are not also explaining how it can be done. You seem to be saying, in a roundabout way, that it cannot be done?
There are, thankfully, plenty of instances which allow it.
I was responding to a poster who wants it to not be possible. Because a centralised authority making decisions for all users is good, or something.
There’s very little point telling me it is possible without telling me how. I have tried and failed with kBin and I don’t even know where to start with Lemmy.
I would like to follow Cory Doctorow’s Mastodon account on Lemmy. Could you explain how?
Thanks,
Because that is not a decision Lemmy can make; thousands of different instances running Lemmy can choose to do whatever its admins choose to do.
Because (AFAIK) Lemmy instances cannot federate with Threads anyway.
For anybody looking to avoid ads on Lemmy, it seems like direct federation with Threads is not a good idea currently.
Can Lemmy federate with Threads?
I can follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon (but don’t because it just fills your feed with an avalanche of out-of-context posts).
I can’t follow anyone on Mastodon from Lemmy (and while I think it is, or should be, possible from kBin, that doesn’t seem to work well yet).
So how can a Lemmy instance federate with Threads and how would their micro-blog posts turn up on Lemmy?
I’m not remotely bothered by federation on Mastodon because there is no algorithm pushing crap on me there. I’ll get what I follow and nothing else.
The Fediverse is not large enough to replace Twitter/Reddit (for breadth and depth of content) and it is unlikely to become large enough any time soon.
Fortunately, Mastodon does not push an algorithmic feed on me so I can follow people I want to hear from on Threads without having to put up with the bullshit that comes from being on Threads.
I recognise that the lack of moderation on Threads means that instances which do federate may be faced with a lot of extra work and not all instances will be up for that, and that’s totally fair.
But it would be good if there was at least one instance which allowed access to people on Threads without having to make an account with Meta.
FWIW it’s not a coincidence that Threads didn’t make federation possible until after they’d found a legal way to launch in the EU. They knew that if they federated first, the Fediverse would get a lot of EU users who would otherwise have joined Threads. I don’t think the entire Fediverse should cut itself off from Threads when many of its users might also like access to the feed without the Meta bullshit piled on top.
I’m going to be a pedant and note that recorded history is only ~6k years old, for those parts of the world that had by then started writing shit down in non-perishable form (at the time, or at least before the spoken memories were lost forever). And much shorter for others, obv.
This question is difficult to frame accurately, but “events from BCE” might work, if you want examples that occurred multiple thousands of years ago.
If you are forced to use them:
That way, Amazon has to pay the search engine.
I must be missing some context because I have absolutely no idea what you’re on about.
Who wouldn’t tell who what and why does that matter?
People who spend 2 years on the ISS are generally very well paid for it. They’re not going to have any trouble covering their mortgage.
That is entirely different from having your ability to earn a living taken away by the state even while legally presumed innocent.
It fucks your whole life up even if you’re eventually found innocent.
I’m not a fan of carceral solutions but this is not something only abolitionists should care about. Remand (and also, short prison sentences) are viciously unfair, causing disproportionate harm which can never be compensated for.
Yes, yes it does.
I mean, yeah. All of this. Absurd.
But, FWIW, offloading cheap tat onto charity shops is not going to work well. It costs them money to put it on a shelf and it probably takes up more space than it is worth. Plus, they very likely can’t sell electrical equipment that has had its cord chopped up and repaired, or at least not without spending more on having it tested than they could sell it for anyway.
Next time, find a friend with small feet who would like to take it off your hands.
