Sounds like your kid might like The Boxcar Children series

My kids accidentally stopped a shoplifter. We stopped at a Walmart on a road trip to use the bathroom. As we were leaving, for some reason all three of them decided to tie their shoes in the vestibule, blocking most of the doorway. There was a very agitated lady behind them, and I tried to move my kids given that I was aware how obnoxious a place they had chosen for shoe tying — I assumed she just wanted to leave the store. But as she tried to get around them, she dropped a pile of phone charging cables and cases and was caught by a security guard chasing her

I’m not a very tech savvy person, so forgive me if this is a dumb question. But does that mean that each instance of Lemmy is personally paid for by whoever owns it? How can that be sustainable?

You know what I have enjoyed about Lemmy? Compared to Reddit, I get fewer replies if I make a comment, and fewer upvotes. Yet the comments I do get are generally more interesting and more likely to be human. As I’ve grown more accustomed to Lemmy, I’ve begun to wonder what percentage of Reddit interactions were bots.

However, I’d love to see this grow some more. The large communities are taking off, but I will still use Reddit for more niche subjects (area-specific gardening, following a local sports team) because they haven’t taken off on Lemmy yet and I’d be talking to myself. And that means that you are useful, because a community needs members to thrive.

I’m leaning towards him being pro-war because this is the price they must pay to maintain American capitalism, but then other commenters seem to have read it differently

For me the yard is what I really want. Being able to grow fruits and veggies and attract birds and pollinators is my jam. I think my family could live quite happily with basically a bedroom attached to a big kitchen. But I don’t think I could forfeit the yard.

If you scoured the world for the most punchable face, you’d surely come up with Sam Altman

I suppose you’re right, which is odd to me as the phrase “ChatGPT says…” automatically makes me question the validity of the information

I’m flabbergasted that they admit that ChatGPT said it, rather than copy-pasting it and pretending it’s their own work and hoping you don’t read it closely.

Even plagiarism has become lazy these days. At least do me the respect of concocting a lie.

I’ll just sit in the back and give you some space

Thus we can only assume that you are a giraffe or an okapi.

The number of touch screen clicks I need to turn my windshield wipers on is just plain dangerous.

I’m old enough to remember a time when windows were rolled up by hand. It wasn’t perfect, but you never had to turn your car on again to deal with a window forgotten open.

Well, it’s very simple, don’t you see? When he makes money, it’s not addiction When he makes no money, it’s addiction

It can be hard to pay for online goods with Interac, unfortunately. I’d love to see it become more widely available on e-commerce sites
