Some time around 2001 or so. Frequented various Pokemon fansites and also had some kind of “100 coolest websites for kids” book.

And reading the article, it’s really just an O.

The beating around the bush about who it was actually sold to certainly doesn’t bode well.

Honestly most of season 1 and about half of season 2 are pretty weak (with some decent episodes in between). Quite a lot of season 1 you can downright skip. There are quite a few guides out there on which episodes to watch and skip, for example here or even this one that skips season 1 and 2 almost entirely. In my opinion, from season 3 onwards, the general quality gets so good that you might as well watch every episode from that point.

Correct. With the Switch 2 in stand-by in its dock and the joycons detached, I press the home button on the right joycon and the Switch wakes up with a little jingle as well as the light on the dock turning on.

Every country has their own brand and degree of nationalism. For example, in Europe, you won’t commonly see the national flag displayed in a private context in countries like France or Germany, but it’s very common as a decoration in Switzerland and Denmark. Doesn’t mean I’d really compare the Danes or Swiss to American nationalists though. I think what makes US-brand nationalism a special kind is the intense superiority complex, the feeling that they’re the greatest country on earth and everyone else doesn’t matter. No Swiss nationalist would think that their country could thrive without at least some degree of cooperation with other countries.

Maybe other large-population countries like China and India might be more similar. When I went to high school in China as an exchange student, they had a flag-raising ceremony once a week where the national anthem was played. But I guess that’s still tame compared to having the pledge of allegiance every day.

I’d say it’s less the surgery being addictive and more that the type of person going for plastic surgery in the first place may often have body dysmorphic disorder, so they’ll keep finding flaws in their appearance. The surgery may even result in additional perceived flaws, which will lead to a cycle of getting even more procedures done.

It works perfectly for me using the joycons (just tested it again to be sure). Haven’t had a disconnect so far either. Have you already updated the controller firmware in the settings menu? Otherwise, unfortunately, there seems to be an issue with your hardware.

I’ve also enjoyed working with it. Switching to React Native for a different project later felt like a huge step back.

Right but reddit created the karma system and allows mods to set karma limits. Why did they allow this ?

Reddit relies on unpaid moderators to manage the subreddits. Antagonizing them by taking away their options for moderation is not a great idea for Reddit (as the API changes have shown).

Does it though ? Because a bot can post more and by virtue of being a bot has nowhere to be and nothing to do. Let’s say it takes 1 hour to get 10 karma. A human with school and or work can only to deal with might only have like 2 hours to post a bot can post 24/7 365.

Bots have ways to get around karma limits, for example by just reposting some popular memes for a few days after account creation and only starting to post spam a few weeks later. But that still means there’s an additional difficulty to posting spam and that there’s time for automated systems to possibly kick in before the bot gets the chance to post spam.

If that is really the issue then why not just have a captcha on post ? I know bots are better at dealing with captchas but those are still expensive.

That sounds like a nightmare TBH, I’d take a Karma limit any day over having to do a captcha every time to post.

I’m also curious, which subs did you want to post in where Karma limits are so high you couldn’t reach them? I’ve never seen them be much of a hurdle. You can easily get 1k karma on a single comment just by echoing a popular sentiment or making a mediocre joke.

That’s not a reddit rule, but a rule that subreddit moderators introduce to lessen their workload. Requiring a minimum karma means less spambots and trolls to deal with.

Stimmt, da war meine Formulierung falsch. Da aber in den meisten Ländern der Verkauf und Ausschank an Minderjährige verboten ist, resultiert es trotzdem darin dass es keinen legalen Weg für Minderjährige gibt, Alkohol zu trinken. Nur dass in dem Fall eben nicht die minderjährige Person belangt werden würde, sondern die Person von der sie den Alkohol bekommen hat. Das ist finde ich auch sinnvoll so.

18 ist das Mindestalter für Alkoholkonsum Verkauf/Ausschank in fast ganz Europa. Denkst du dass die alle viel schlimmere Probleme mit exzessivem Alkoholkonsum haben?

Kontrolle wäre ja genau der Punkt, da sie dann eben nicht mehr problemlos so viel Alkohol kaufen können wie sie wollen. Klar wird es immer noch welche geben die illegal an Alkohol kommen, aber nach der Logik sollte es also gar kein Mindestalter geben? Am besten dann auch nicht für Zigaretten?

Finde ich sinnvoll. Das Konzept dass es erstmal “begleitetes Trinken” gibt ist eigentlich nicht schlecht, aber nicht schon mit 14. Vielleicht wäre es am besten das ab 16 einzuführen und erst ab 18 “normales” Trinken.

I was about 2 decades later, but I bonded over games like Pokemon and later made many friendships in minecraft. Wish I could revisit that time. I think it’s less about any particular era in gaming - it’s about being young. Kids are still forging friendships over video games today - just different ones (although, at least in the case of my nephew, Minecraft is still one of them :D).

Generally you can watch any of the shows without having watched the previous ones. There will be some episodes with references that will go over your head and there will be some occasions where you might want to look something up (for example episodes that assume you already know about certain alien species). But you’ll be able to follow the plot just fine. Maybe Lower Decks would not be the show I’d necessarily start with, as a lot of the humor relies on references to older shows. Strange New Worlds should be a perfectly fine starting point though.

If you do want to give an older show a go though, TNG is much more palatable for modern viewers than TOS in my opinion, although it doesn’t start out the best.

Are you referring mainly to fast food places or is it like that even at regular restaurants where you live? If I go to my local pizzeria or really any restaurant that isn’t a fast food chain, there won’t be any wrappers, single use cups or anything like that. Food will be served on plates with metal cutlery, drinks in drinking glasses etc. About the only single-use thing would be napkins I guess.

I’ve never experienced real poverty. Poorest I’ve been was the first month working at my first job. I had spent most of my money moving there and I think I had about 200€ on my bank account at the beginning of the month. Had to be frugal for a while but it was manageable.

Fast so als wollte man das Problem gar nicht effektiv bekämpfen, da es sich ja wunderbar für populistische Zwecke und die Ausweitung von Überwachungsmaßnahmen nutzen lässt.

Yes, the company is called Wilk Elektronik and their production facility is in Łaziska Górne, Poland, which they’ve also recently expanded to focus on more products aside from RAM modules. Not every single component in their SSDs will come from Europe, but the final production is European.
