Hired clowns or magicians aren’t really a thing outside of movies, afaik.
One or two big birthday parties growing up is pretty common. Not every year. I had one for my 16th.

There are generally nonverbal cues, yes. If you’re unsure, then asking is better.

Nice, I needed something to follow that wasn’t doom and gloom.

Well, it’s hard to call it libel, because they hardly made any actual claims. I was waiting to hear about the “unprofessional behavior”, but they seem to have forgotten that part?
The only unprofessional behavior seems to be the post itself. If you’re going to make allegations, make actual allegations or don’t say anything.

Careful, some instances take more after Elon’s idea of free speech.
- Comment on Can't throw me off the scent 2 weeks ago:
Well, except that it’s nearly always super damaging.
The US version would be more like collecting cans back when they had a 5 or 10 cent deposit. Today I can’t really think of anything like that. Maybe driving Uber/Lyft. Or just panhandling/begging.

Good point.
- Comment on Mildly McInfuriating 2 weeks ago:
It’s largely because of new tiered pricing. They want to extract the maximum price while not losing any customers.
To do this, they first double or triple all their prices. Then, for those who are willing to stand on one leg, pat their head, and rub their stomach* while ordering the right things, they’ll charge you half price.
(*By this I mean use their app. The main purpose of the app and the deals are to charge everyone what they’re willing to pay.)

Europe took a long stroll in that direction too, but there are some major differences. First, most of their cities were established before cars. Second, they’re making more of an active attempt (in some areas) to be walkable again.
In short, in America 75 years is a long time. In Europe, 75 miles (120km) is a long way.

Your history is a bit spotty, but everything else checks out. Go for it.
I’d give you the normal “welcome to modding” message, but I’m on the road atm.
- Comment on Request for c/therapists 2 weeks ago:
!therapists ? That’s not at all what I thought that was going to be about.

Try saying that labor conditions in China should be better.
- Comment on Day 1 Reddit Refugee 2 weeks ago:
Seems more or less accurate. Partly it’s that we’re all learning this together. Partly it’s that we have a variety of mods that are different for each major community. Partly I think it was an overreaction to legal obligations. Partly it’s that when you have a hammer (mod/admin tools), the tendency is to think that you should use them.
Not an excuse, of course. But people really easily love to criticize any kind of leadership with a broad brush without much willingness or understanding of how things should be led. You wouldn’t believe the number of people who say they “don’t have time” to moderate a community that likely takes less than five minutes of work a month.

That’s my default bookmark.
- Comment on Day 1 Reddit Refugee 2 weeks ago:
Well, it also means it’s easier to comment and post without getting immediately buried.
- Comment on Day 1 Reddit Refugee 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s the one we don’t allow. You found it.
Do not encourage violence.

Got an English translation? No captions on that one.
- Comment on And because you deserve it, here's one from the top shelf 2 weeks ago:
I recommend trying to regulate it to the weekends at the very least. Maybe every other weekend, max.
Being high all the time makes everything seem horribly boring when you’re sober. It kind of just drains your experiences from your life.

I don’t think it matters. If you’d like, you can drop as a moderator from your Aussie account and then your LW account can readd it.
- Comment on Le Reddit Army is Here 3 weeks ago:
That’s quite dumb. Besides blatantly violating the one site-wide rule we’ve been pretty lenient with here on Lemmy, you’re suggesting someone gives their life to rid us of Spez?!? THAT is your priority?
- Comment on Saint Luigi 3 weeks ago:
It’s certainly harder to do on a state level. There is no inter-state border control. Doing single payer on a state level is likely to bring in the worst cases from at least neighboring states.
California might do it, but they have a few big advantages. First, their population is high enough that they can absorb a little cross state immigration without hitting the balance too hard. Second, the states near them tend to be more sparsely populated, unlike the east coast.
Basically you’re looking at only California and New York if you want to do it on a state level. And they’re both going to face huge lobbying against it.
If this is something you want to get done, it’s got to have a lot of public support. And if you’re able to gather that much public support, why not just do it federally? It works better that way anyway.

You’re more likely to believe things that are true instead of making up your own facts. What’s more creative than an ice wall keeping the oceans in?
- Comment on Request to mod syria 5 weeks ago:
Welcome. You may need to make a lemmy.world alt and appoint it as an additional moderator. I don’t know all the details, but I know moderating between instances can have issues.
- Comment on Even the traffic signs are weighing in 5 weeks ago:
I would still be very careful about when and where and how you say it. Quoting the state constitution at the right time should certainly give you more leeway than other states, but I wouldn’t risk saying it too early.
It’s best to just treat it as not allowed, at least until deliberation. Maybe even then.
- Comment on Even the traffic signs are weighing in 5 weeks ago:
Get on a jury, say exactly that, and see what happens.
- Comment on Even the traffic signs are weighing in 5 weeks ago:
You have to be very particular if you’re going to do that.
Jury nullification is not allowed. Voting not guilty because you have reasonable doubt is always allowed. You don’t have to explain why you have reasonable doubt.
The fact that those happen to be jury nullification is unfortunate for those who would like to disallow it.
