The second I have to use regular expressions I'm turning straight.

Chromecast doesn't work on most hotels WiFi anyway. At least it won't work if they have a page to sign into the WiFi after connecting. Pretty much have to use a HDMI cable in most cases

I know you meant to have the word "no" in there, but I'm loving the idea a business tiger getting used to his new environment

I'll be much more irritated if you're on the sidewalk. It's more dangerous for pedestrians and for you. When you're biking you expect to have to pass people whether it's because they're a slower cyclist or using a escooter. My old apartment had an exit at a blind corner and dealing with escooter riders on the sidewalk was hellish. I would pull out slowly so that pedestrians had plenty of time to stop, but when scooters became popular I had to start creating forward at a painfully slow pace because people going bike speeds somehow thought it was okay to be on the sidewalk.

Or that they use child slave labor.*

*Note: they don't own slaves just contract work out to slave owners

It's not the entire plot, but it gives you a pretty good idea of the rest.

If this really is your primary reason, talk to your partner about adoption or foster care. There's no guilt but you can still have all the wonderful things

Yeah. I was so stoked when I got this name before I learned how it all worked

Yep. The standard Hollywood eyes are pretty close to how my dad's look. Only Hollywood tends to do grey while his are a very pale blue. I didn't actually learn he technically had brown eyes until I was in my late teens.

To directly quote the second and third paragraphs of the article:

The judge, Gregory Presnell, was acting on a request by the restaurant chain Hamburger Mary’s, which sued Florida last month claiming that the law was overly broad and put a chilling effect on the right to free speech under the First Amendment.

Presnell, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, determined that while some people may find a drag performer reading a children’s book to a minor during a performance to be inappropriate, it doesn’t necessarily constitute an obscene performance. He also stated that current obscenity laws already “provide Defendant with the necessary authority to protect children from any constitutionally unprotected obscene exhibitions or shows.”

So... No.

It only doesn't matter if the majority of us are conscious of it and want to stop it. We need to place sanctions in a true democracy, that's not easy and it requires everybody be educated.

We're lucky that we're still in the tail end of the early adopters phase so most people in the fediverse will be open to gaining education. Also both sides of the heavily populated fediverse (Lemmy and mastodon)* feel recently betrayed by corporate greed.

All to say, it won't be a big deal as long as most people know what's going on. (I didn't before reading this.)

*Not sure where to put kbin

Typically that's more of a CYA move. If someone finds something that isn't chicken cell they could sue for false advertising, but if it's 100% chicken cell nobody can sue for saying it was 99%.
