No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy?
2·11 days agoI think it should be easy to identify when an account is being shared. For example if it’s used from different ip addresses within a short amount of time

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a word for when someone is not capable of, or doesn't try to understand verbal communication in a language they are fluent in, similar to functionally illiterate, but for speech?
3·11 days agoIf you can’t understand a language then you aren’t fluent in it.
Would this work as depicted? Wouldn’t it just be a blur?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up?
9·14 days agoIt sounds like OP does want to get together with some of their family, they just don’t know how to deal with that one individual

18·14 days agoJust politely say “I don’t want to talk about that, let’s talk about tv shows, what’s your favorite comedy right now?” (Or whatever other mutually fun topic you want to talk about.) If he tries to keep talking about the topic just repeat that you’re not gonna talk about that and offer a second new topic. If he still wants to keep talking about it say “alright I’m gonna go talk to someone else about a different topic, I’ll catch you later”, then walk away from him. If he gets sad because of that then it’s not your fault or responsibility

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?

37·17 days agoI’m not vegan and I’m here to tell you that your argument isn’t valid. Whoever invented a word doesn’t get to permanently declare exactly what it means down to the tiniest detail. Words change meaning over time. I would guess that especially new words change over time. The word “awful” originally meant full of awe. The word “terrible” originally meant a thing caused terror.
It doesn’t matter what the creator of the word thought.

6·17 days agoIt is going to be eaten no matter what. The chance of it being eaten is essentially 100%. So i can’t see how that’s part of the equation.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Altrincham bar bans solo-drinkers to 'protect customers'
14·18 days agoAs a person who only ever goes to bars when part of a group, i would strongly try to steer the group from ever going to a bar that did that.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it normal to feel intense fear when in the presense of any sort of yelling / loud arguments?
4·22 days agoI’m not sure i understand the cough thing, is it because that’s what they would do as their biggest sign of upsetness?

5·22 days agoFor me it depends on the type of yelling. If it looks like anyone might be in danger then I’m super activated, or if it’s an adult yelling at a kid then I’m very upset, but if it’s something like a boyfriend and girlfriend arguing about something juicy then I’m like oooo!
Pubs, amusement parks, sports events, music shows, museums, operas, theater plays, etc etc etc. it’s very common for something to be kid friendly and also serve alcohol

8·1 month agoThat’s not a new event, that happened a couple decades ago
