Yeah it makes sense, I do agree knifes should not be sold to children.

[–] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 6 points 6 months ago (7 children)

Knifes are not only for cooking, and they are just fun to play around with, when I was a kid we built makeshift shelters in the forest near the town with knifes and hammer and even a saw.

The problem is not the knife, but the children not being property disciplined on how to use them. Restrictions on this common of an item will never work because even if you make the perfect system so no child can ever buy one, they will just get one from home or use a broken piece of glass.

There are a lot of dangerous things in our world, restricting the access to them is just impossible and frankly stupid.

Next time a child throws a rock at another will you ban rocks too?

I love the idea of deterring them as if they have a choice and are just very persistent in exploring their passion, being homeless.....

Is it possible to upload the consciousness of your mind into a computer? – Amreen, age 15, New Delhi, India. The concept, cool yet maybe a little creepy, is known as mind uploading

The process of uploading your mind is mind uploading, very creative...

This is why I posted this basically.

I am wondering can a culture war even be won? Aren't we allowing the conservatives to define the game to such extend that makes winning impossible?

And additionally are these wars even separate or one and the same but viewed through different lenses?

What do you think, oh wise people of the internet?

I am once again called to praise orgzly.

The idea is simple, it keeps all your info in plain text files on device. It allows tags for whatever you need, recipes, articles, books to read, whatever you like.

Keeping it in sync with a PC is possible in several ways, I use syncthing.

It is for sure not the easiest solution, but it's all open source, all plain text and gets the work done.

P.S. on PC I use logseq to edit my org files, but there are other options.

P.S.2 I read the question again and I had missed the part with the e-reader. I doubt my approach will help there, but I will leave the comment in case it is helpful to someone.

Is it only about the US?

A few more leaks and it will be open source anyways

What does it matter, the rest didn't bribe them anyway...

Yeah, you don't need weed to have a good time!

FOR SURE DO NOT DRIVE, if this is your first time smoking you will not be able to navigate to the toilet let alone drive.

Depending on your situation you can ask for a ride, or walk back? Or even call your parents to pick you up. I would be much calmer if a friend of mine(cuz I don't have kids) calls and tells me I got a bit drunk I am afraid to drive.
