- Comment on When society completely transitions to cash-less, what happens when the power goes down? End of the world? 2 days ago:
The existence of cash is probably the least of one’s problems in that scenario. How is food going to be delivered to stores without working gas pumps? How will stores open their electronic doors or process payments without a cash register?
If this is something you are worried about, store enough non-perishable (eg canned) food in your home so you don’t starve in that scenario.
- Comment on New to lemmy. Is there a version of /r/changemyview? 3 days ago:
Probably true. slatestarcodex.com/…/i-can-tolerate-anything-exce… was written before most people cared much about this but certainly applies very strongly to it. I am fortunately not directly affected by it either way (I am neither trans nor a woman nor have any desire to pretend to be trans in order to get access to women’s spaces) so it doesn’t get my emotions up much to read any side’s arguments; I can see why that may be different for others.
- Comment on New to lemmy. Is there a version of /r/changemyview? 3 days ago:
When I first became active on reddit, I admired how few sitewide rules they had and how much free speech they allowed.
Now they ban debate about one of the most contentious and multifaceted societal issues of the present. What are online discussion forums there for if not to openly and civilly exchange ideas about issues like this?
- Comment on Congress Moving Forward On Unconstitutional Take It Down Act 6 days ago:
The worst bills in Congress are usually overwhelmingly supported by both parties.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 6 days ago:
Why do you think Donald Trump has any clue about anything he is doing? Has he not repeatedly demonstrated the opposite?

- Comment on How can we make lemmy have more relevance? 1 week ago:
By participating on it, mainly. The more people notice that using Lemmy is a way to kill boredom and stay informed about things they are interested in, the more people will look here instead of (or in addition to) reddit or Facebook or other places.
- Comment on How do I decrease acne after shaving my face? 1 week ago:
Get medication against acne from a doctor. That was the only thing that finally helped me get rid of it.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 1 week ago:
What place do I get teleported to? If I’m teleported to the same place on Earth, then I just fell down several meters into a swamp and am probably going to die here.
- Comment on The inarguable case for banning social media for teens 1 week ago:
It’s a possible distinction to make, the main problem is that the article in the OP didn’t make that distinction.
- Comment on The inarguable case for banning social media for teens 1 week ago:
Again, how do you define “social media”?
I grew up on IRC as well as web forums and found those social interactions very fun overall, not dissimilar from IRL social interactions.

- Comment on The inarguable case for banning social media for teens 1 week ago:
OK, what’s the definition of “social media” for that purpose then?
- Comment on The inarguable case for banning social media for teens 1 week ago:
I tend to be unsympathetic in general to ideas that anyone (including young people) needs to be “protected” from their own decisions.
- Comment on The inarguable case for banning social media for teens 1 week ago:
So teens who don’t fit in well in the IRL spaces that are available to them should have 0 ways to have social interactions?
If teen me hadn’t had the internet, I would have 0 joyful memories whatsoever of my teen years. Anyone sympathizing with the ideas in the OP is in my mind purely evil and oppressive, I have no other words to describe this.

- Comment on Why are popes always really old? 1 week ago:
They serve for life (or until resignation), so if someone relatively young is elected pope, the same person will be pope for many decades. The cardinals don’t typically want that to happen, so they’ll tend to want to elect someone who is probably going to die soon.
- Comment on Should naming your children stupid names be illegal? 1 week ago:
look up spelling systems of Gaelic languages (e.g. Irish, Scottish Gaelic), that is not too far off
- Comment on What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good? 2 weeks ago:

Sort by “new comments”.
- Comment on How are the blatant anti-competitive practices of Apple just…allowed? How is this even possible? 3 weeks ago:
Swift (the programming language) can be used on other operating systems too, just not for iOS development.
I’ve been wondering this since I first heard of the iPhone’s “app store” concept in the 2000s, so you’re not alone.
- Comment on Anon gets outed 3 weeks ago:
Oddly enough that isn’t quite my experience. I went to university immediately after finishing school and was pleasantly surprised at how civilized and mature everyone at university was, compared to just a few months ago at school, even though many of them were still teenagers. It’s something about the environment of school that causes so many young people to behave awfully.

A legal question without the information where in the world you live (country, state, province) cannot possibly get reliable answers.
