Kinda sad they place hosting the article had to go and use AI generated ants for their stock photo.

You want society to take basic steps to help addicts heal and thrive? Preposterous.

Let's just say I *don't* think she is responsible for the 2008 financial crisis since she was only a kitten then.

Everything else? All bets are off.

@MennoWolff

I looked up the global average height.

@caitp

She is not allowed the opportunity. But frankly? She would.

Is #PicaTheCat innocent?

OK enough fun games. I’m asking the main question:

Is she innocent?

If I knew a kid who was "really into" roblocks I'd talk with them about what they like about it and just have sincere interest on what it's offering them.

Don't tell the Australians but roblocks *is* "social media" just as much facebook or mastodon. And as you know I'm a big fan of social media. At the same time, many of the implementations for young people are just terrible.

I hope this isn't coming off as either too critical or nosy.

They have not implemented this yet. But I think roblocks has many bad actors and you can't count on them to really look out for bad content. I requires more supervision.

As a short person one of my pet peeves is when there is a social event and they have those "tall tables" that you stand around. Or if there is nowhere to sit down and you have to stand and talk to people.

I'm seriously considering having a little step stool in my bag because talking in a circle while standing is so annoying.

It's hard to hear people.
It's hard to see their faces.

If the whole room is full of people and it's a little dark then it's like being in a scary forest.

@hosford42

I think I should have done a poll to find the "average fediverse height" first.

As a 5' 0" person ... ? You are tall. LOL.

@GLaDTheresCake

don't we all have rods (and cones) in our eyes?

Ya'll are too tall.

Do you have back pain or problems? If you have had to change your life, eg. avoid doing something, or stay home due to your back or if it hurts often that's "having back problems"

If you are taller than 164cm (5' 4.5") you are "tall." (In this formulation more men are tall than women, I'm interested in absolute height here so not breaking it down by gender. Data are bimodal but I don't think it matters much.)

@semitones @mynameistillian

Kids can't go to D&B's unattended. I do recall that my Baptist church advised parents not to let kids "play at gambling" at such places when I was young.

Personally I don't think total prohibition is realistic or needed. (Because then you will have black market for gambling.) But D&B's should have an exclusion list. And I don't care if they are a casualty of effort to eliminate more obviously destructive enterprises. Does that make some sense?

Of course, addressing gambling would mean addressing the "sins" of members of their own congregation. It's easier to rail against outsiders you know nothing about than making your own house better.

My cat Pica is a totalitarian dictator of the apartment and she rules with a soft fuzzy paw.

This sounds less ominous than an "iron fist" but I assure you it is just as bad.

I cannot even question "the divine right of cat" around here.

In the US churches are excited about trans people existing and other deeply counterproductive nonsense. What if we could redirect them to being mad about gambling again? That seems like a much more productive project if they can't be convinced to help the poor... which the Bible says they ought to be.

Gambling is a sin. Do your conservative politicians care about how it's destroying people's lives at all?
