If they gave into the protest AND gave a broader signal that they cared about their content creators and their volunteer mods in broader ways, then sure I'd go back. I'd probably keep exploring Lemmy, though, as I feel like big social media sites will inevitable devolve into whatever Facebook looks like.
Is anyone having a problem posting here? I tried posting both a WRUW thread with a pic (both in the title and in the body), and then just a regular thread, but the "create" button just spins and spins. No timeout, but no posting either.
I'm able to comment (or so it seems) but not able to post threads.
I'm on the lemmy.world instance.
Help?
EDIT: When I chose the langauge as "undetermined," it posted right away. When I selected "English," it froze.
Yes, some extreme shocks can harm mechanical watches.
No, I don't know how much. I'm sure there are some people out there who've done some sort of calculations. But I feel like what we see and hear are just estimates, speculation, anectodal bias, or other shoddy evidence (maybe check Watchuseek). Just like the Reddit pic you sent -- it shows beat up gears from a chronograph with a warning about golfing. Down the post, the OP says he's a watchmaker and that watch came in from someone who claimed that they wore it playing golf. But guess what? There was also rust on the parts. The OP said "oh, that was due to a bad seal, not related to shock". So how are we supposed to believe OP's opinion that the teeth were damaged due to shock but that other evidence of damage was due to a separate cause, that ALSO didn't cause or contribute to the teeth and gear damage? Shoddy arguments to me. And sports watches were made to be worn while doing sports--they were worn that way before the advent of modern quartz watches and G-Shocks. But of course they're probably not the ideal watch to wear, since we have quartz watches that can deal with shock better.
Yes, modern watches have some form of shock protection. How much really does depend on the watch.
Would I wear a mechanical watch while biking? I guess it depends. It depends on the quality of the watch (in some ways, a higher quality sports/dive watch should withhstand shock better, because it's going to have more shock absorption built in, but on the other hand, if your watch is expensive, are you really going to put it in a risky situation?), it depends on how bad your roads are, really, and it depends on the cost.
Let's just say this-- I bike commuted for about a year, and I almost always wore a mechanical watch. I went over potholes, and all of my watches survived. BUT, (a) I mostly wear dive-style watches, even to work, and (b) none of my watches cost more than $1000. So I'm willing to take those risks.
TL;dr-- yes, shocks might cause harm to mechanical watches. The amount of shock that can cause harm, and the risk of harm, are hard to calculate. Whether you decide to wear a mechanical watch while biking is a decision you have to make based upon your risk tolerance.
A longer dissent than majority opinion, with lots of twists and turns and hypertechnical readings and citations to law review articles and court dissents to make his point. I agree @BharatiyaNagarik@lemmy.world, Gorsuch continues is pro-tribal jurisprudence. Maybe it's consistent with his ultra-textualist and libertarian world view, or maybe it's because of his Colorado upbringing, or maybe it's something else.
Interesting discussion in the majority opinion about "all-inclusive" examplar pairs to show a broad statutory scope -- with examples "rain or shine," "near and far," "foreign and domestic."
It's funny-- I grew up in Iowa, which was one of the last states to get modern looking license plates (with pictures and multiple colors, etc.). I always thought that the unber basic plates projected a feeling of being from a backwater that couldn't afford or couldn't understand modernity.
Now, those plates look almost like stupid state advertising or pandering, and the basic plates (esp. white on black, black on white, or California's yellow on black) look retro and badass. Material Design and all that.
I guess I'm just old enough to see the old look new again.
They're on the wheel on my district, but there are all sorts of odd rules. (E.g. related criminal cases, senior judges choosing the kinds of cases they'll be on the wheel for, etc.)
So I'm looking for a magazine that I know is on kbin, that I want to subscribe from here. I've tried typing in the magazine name in the address bar (lemmy.world/c/Utah@kbin.social), I've tried searching in the "communities" search, and I'm just not finding it and getting errors. Direct linking works, but I then I can only subscribe if I have an account on kbin. Help?
Yeah, subscribing to a community on another instance can sometimes be odd on the app. I have more luck using the web version. (Search for the community, click there, and subscribe) I don't think it's the community so much as the very alpha-level app and some janky things happening with federation.
I tried to give the links the way you're supposed to for folks originating from other instances.
SBC also voted to affirm the explusions of two churches, including Saddleback Church, which was founded by highly respected author Rick Warren and is one of the largest baptist churches in the country. They claim nearly 25,000 people in weekly attendance. And Warren's books, including "The Purpose-Driven Life," are used all over, including in my then-relatively liberal Lutheran church.

They were expelled because a woman acted as a youth pastor.
Wow. That's like kicking the Yankees out of MLB because the league thinks that players should be able to have long hair.
However for them, it’s not a big deal as the get the following benefits
All undesirablesane and productive users leave for fidiverse or other reddit alternatives.
The remaining users will be tamebatshit crazy like the users of FB, Instagram, posting conspiracy theories, lies, flames and other content that gets people riled up, but results in more eyes and more clicks. Which destroys Reddit as we know it, but still generates the income that will appeal to investors in an IPO
I don't disagree, but that doesn't mean that people don't do it.
There are tons of "journalists" on sites like Yahoo that simply troll Reddit's popular subs for content and repost controversial statements/opinions for clicks. That's an easy way that hoaxes spread.
Of course, the police aren't going to go arrest someone based on an anonymous post, but it might raise suspicion and/or cause an unwarranted investigation.
And yes, I do believe that if someone publishes something online, they have some level of responsibility for what they post, subject to the protections of the First Amendment (and similar doctrines in other countries). "I get to say what I want and don't have any responsibility for the consequences" leads to (a) potentially dangerous situations, and (b) really shitty content.

Nothing wrong with that...
Same happened to me. Then when posting I chose "unknown" or whatever language (not English) and it worked.
Or, as they say in Arkansas, energetic new workforce members.

Maybe you F'dU, but I think you were the stars of the party.
Me too.

The social media provider must "verify, using a commercially reasonable method" the person's identity and the relationship to the minor.
You cam do that through credit card probably.
Weird. Works for me in Jerboa. What's the crash?

FTFY.
