I'd like to think that I wouldn't, but I guess you never really know until you're in the situation. Family would make the equation harder as well, I think I'd be much more willing to trust a stranger with my life rather than the lives of my nieces and nephews.

Different people prefer different nomenclature, but the generally accepted standard has switched from native American a couple decades ago to American Indian now. IIRC the change happened because calling people natives sometimes seems synonymous with calling them primitive. Most US tribal groups use American Indian now

I needed a better organization tool to keep track of tasks and todos, and I read about org mode on lemmy. I ended up following this tutorial and then building my own templates once I understood everything. It's fantastic now that I have it a little customized, makes it so quick and easy to keep notes.

I switched from vim to emacs a couple weeks ago specifically for org mode and it has legit changed the way I work.

Not disagreeing with you at all, you made a pretty good point. But when engineering the prompt takes 80% of the effort that just writing the essay (or code for that matter) would take, I think most people would rather write it themselves.

From the wiki article: "Most modern scholars do not consider the Apostle Thomas the author of this document and the author remains unknown."

Unfortunately it doesn't look like that is very well accepted

He polled 7 points better against Trump than Hillary did in 2016. Although that being said, it seems pretty well accepted that the polling was pretty unreliable in 2016.

I think some of these people have to be trolls. We're basically in the trolley problem where the trolley is headed for 100,000 people, and if you pull the lever it will only kill 1. You can't abstain from pulling the lever and act like you're completely innocent of the deaths of the masses.

I was playing pokemon with my 7 year old nephew and he kept saying "{x pokemon} has sick moves bro", so maybe that time has already come. Although to be fair he also said "These noodles are on god" and then leaned over and whispered "that means really good." So maybe he's not exactly the best arbiter of gen alpha vernacular lol
