yep. Forums used to be a thing but they have faded a long while ago for things like reddit and discord. Real websites are usually garbage designed to trip search engine results and now it's a ton of AI slop too.

So people started including reddit in their search to get the info they wanted. And now reddit has noticed and is leaning into that

    What was the actual reason for the crusade against NSFW games? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

    Trying to redirect revenue streams they are not in to the ones that they are in. Or are trying to make things more advertiser friendly aka nobody want to talk about supporting the NSFW games in meetings with their bosses

    I think the older we get, and the more we know how things "are supposed to go" we notice more when things don't go that way. I usually try to chalk it up to people that are inexperienced, elderly or not local. But there will always be people that are dicks because they can

    Yeah it's not really a bad thing if you're about it. Religious aspects aside the (general, it varies) Amish approach to technology is that each thing is looked at very intentionally with community integrity in mind. Instead of everything for everyone, technology is considered a tool.

    Most people don't get cell phones to scroll tik tok slop, but they might let a business owner have one with a limited plan for planning jobs for their business.

    Most people don't get cars because they encourage people to live farther apart and are expensive, but they might allow solar charged e-scooters

    YSK the four rules of firearm safety (sh.itjust.works)
     

    Why YSK: Even if you don't own a gun, there is a chance you can encounter one at the home of a friend or family member. These are the four core rules of gun safety, but the same can be used with airsoft/paintball guns, nerf or even chemical spray bottles!

    First, treat every firearm as if it were loaded. Even if it was clear the last time you saw it. If looking at a gun with someone else and they assure you it's not loaded, you can respectfully ask them to clear it in front of you before you handle it yourself.

    Never point a gun at anything you are not willing to destroy. Pretend there is a lazer beam coming from the barrel. Don't let that "beam" point at anyone. That is known as "flagging". In nearly all cases keeping the barrel pointing down between your feet is a good move.

    Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire. This includes the whole trigger guard area. Most people keep their finger on the frame well above the trigger guard, pointing their finger in the same direction as the barrel. This is known as "trigger discipline".

    Finally be sure of your target and what's behind it. Bullets can still travel a long way even after they pass through a target. If you are target shooting make sure there is a solid backstop. If in a real life situation you must positively ID the threat, no shooting at shadows or noises.
