I already have some issues with my public tone sounding… Too official. Using the em-dash just makes it seem like I might be a bot. I’m not going to bother with that.

I like the em dash and am very upset that AI has stolen it.

I find it funny that Cozy Grove is exactly the kind of cozy game hiding a really sinister plot title they’re talking about but there’s no mention of it. You know, the game where you (a girl scout style spirit guide) get sent to an island all by yourself for your first scouting adventure and then shipwreck, essential marooning you on an island, and your Troup leader then realizes she sent you to the wrong island but not to worry, she’ll rally to recover you. Eventually. If she remembers and can figure out where you are. In the meantime she’ll comfort your parents as best she can and remind them they signed a waiver and can’t sue. Just you know. Help the spirits that haunt the island you’re on until rescue arrives. If you can get them to move on, more power to you, you can have a badge for that.

No. They can’t sue you for asserting that you libel’d them because you are not causing harm to their reputation. You can make assertions about anybody on the internet, but they have to prove they were harmed reputation ally by what you said and they would lose because they don’t have a reputation attached to who they actually are in real life associated with their Lemmy account. They’re full of shit and this is an attempt to strong arm you.

Report them and block them and be prepared to block and report any new account a harassing you until they get themselves an IP ban.

I also do this. I was having CCleaner clear all temp files as well when I close a browser but I set up windows to just delete them so that’s no longer a problem.

Yeah I guess that tidbit was added in later by OP when people started asking questions.

The cafe has bins. OP amended the post admitting that they do. The bins are inside, but either way, they do exist.

Yeah but the Cafe does have bins inside. It’s just the park that removed the public waste bins.

Littering used to be illegal most places. It should be illegal pretty much every public place. If you’re breaking the law, you’re criminalizing yourself. This is like saying we shouldn’t resurface roads because it criminalizes speeders.

And they should be fined for dumping.

Aestik it’s been on my wishlist for awhile and I don’t see a reason not to pick it up at the current sale price.

Or, **I love you, send me naked pictures and I’ll send you naked pictures and then “my father” will find out and contact you to extort money from you for sending and receiving underaged porn images and if you don’t send money they’ll report you to the police. **

I had seen posts like this circulating before so I tried to track them down:

Some of these posts suggest they are using the pictures of someone else on purpose. Some say they’re a bot. I personally haven’t gotten these messages but I don’t get DM’s so that’s probably why. I’m pretty positive this is some kind of Honeypot scam. Either way I wouldn’t trust it.

Jack Black. Next question.

Didn’t know this was a thing. Can’t remember the last time I bought anything from Starbucks. But it’s dumb and wasteful of people’s time, including baristas.

There are not mere allegations. He is screaming it on every social media he has. He is literally labeling himself as a Nazi and screaming (all caps) racist nonsense every chance he gets online and in interviews. This same guy was trying to buy Parler.

Everyone keeps saying lots of people don’t know, but I don’t even follow West and long ago purged his music from my library and I see it all the time on the internet.

The problem I have is he does not divorce who he was from who he is now in this way. The memes (and literally any post written about him or that mentions him) inflate his ego and feed his sense of self worth. That’s the problem with meming him.

More recent posts show him in a bad light and obviously hurt his feelings. But posts like this feed his ego and I don’t agree with that.

It looks like the wealthy friend flew instead of driving down or taking the bus down with their friends. They’re upset because it’s just more useless pollution and a loss of time that the friend group could have spent together having a good experience.

At the end of the tax year you generally receive tax documentation forms (a W2 or 1099 etc). These tax forms detail your taxable income and possibly any tax credits or exemptions you might be eligible for.

You fill out I9 forms detailing your status (single married etc) and what dependants you have when you start at your place of work and then update those forms as that status changes over time. This information is used by your employer to withhold taxes on your earnings from your pay checks and send that money along to the federal and state governments as necessary.

When you receive your end of year tax forms you enter that tax information into a tax preparation service or paper form, sign it and send it off with what you owe in check form to the IRS, unless you have made accurate tax withholding in which case you have already paid. If you are owed money by the government for overpayment of taxes they will then mail you a check or direct deposit the amount owed to you into an account of your choosing.

There are exceptions if you own a business or have other forms of income for the tax year which you may have to submit a more detailed filing to the IRS with documentation that can absolutely include receipts. But for the most part you use the tax forms you receive to submit your taxable income calculations to the federal or state government and pay or get paid accordingly depending on if you owe them money, or if you are owed money by them for overpayment.

Nothing. I did this with two different handhelds. The main problem that I’ve run into is that the built in controls don’t work as well as if they had been natively supported and I would be more than willing to have a fix for that with an official steam OS distro if one was available. The point is, a closed mouth don’t get fed. If they don’t think people want this they aren’t going to dedicate time and resources to it.
