There’s a near-infinite number of better things trump could have done.

oddly enough, no one has suggested that I start an OF if I don’t have money /s

Oh please.

Did you really just create a lemmy account to tell us about your best friend who is a top international high-end escort who also runs an extremely profitable OnlyFans account ?

I imagine lemmy is fairly low-yield as regards paying fans. The stereotypical lemmy user is young and broke.

It’s never too early to efficiently count your sheep!

Double entry accounting system.

I’m an accountant by trade. The double entry system wasn’t invented until the 15th century.

I could account for any lords various assets, goods, and livestock in an efficient, reliable and accurate manner

Hard to know.

Could go either way.

I can certainly imagine people avoiding it because of implied danger.

… but I can also imagine people evaluating it and concluding that “they don’t look sick, and they taste fine”.

I guess the decision depends on how hungry you are.

I think it’s important to point out that anyone making this decision was probably using the herd as a primary source of food…it’s pretty clearly a sign that you should hit the road.

In my industry it’s an incremental improvement.

Potentially the current tech could make firms 10% more productive if fully realised. That’s my estimate anyway.

It’s not a game changer.

I know some people who eloped.

They went to the registry office with a witness then did a week of cycle touring because that’s their thing.

Posted it on social after the fact.

I thought it was a great way to go.

I’m not quite sure what you mean to imply.

The topic of marriage did come up 6 years ago when we decided to have kids. At that time we decided it didn’t have much meaning for us.

We didn’t really think about her family name at that time.

When the kids were born she was emphatic that they should have my family name. She actually has a family name from a previous marriage, which wouldn’t be appropriate for our kids, and she’s estranged from her actual family so didn’t want her maiden name.

Since the kids have been born this has been in the back of my mind and I’ve been meaning to address it, I assume it’s on her mind too.

Honestly, just attending to all the things that need to be done in the last 2 years has been very challenging. This just hasn’t been a priority.

Also for context, de facto relationships have legal standing in Australia. So the law treats us as though we were married. Our situation is not uncommon.

I mentioned it to my sisters who suggested she could just use my family name as an alias, or just change her name to our family name, or we could elope. If she wanted to hyphenate that would be up to her of course but knowing her as I do I doubt she will want to.

He’s getting a masterclass in negotiation from Xi and I’m here for it.

My defacto partner and I have been together for 12 years. We’ve been trying to have kids for 6 years or so and got lucky with twins 2 years ago.

Being married wouldn’t strengthen our bond or commitment in any way.

It’s a shame my partner doesn’t have the same surname as our kids. I’ve been meaning to ask her how she feels about it.

It’s not relevant in most countries because if it were you could just get married and get a visa.

IIRC this particular word emerged in a blog post published explicitly to propose a bunch of new words.

So yes I do realise that all words have an etymology, but most were not created in the course of self aggrandizement.

I don’t have any credible feedback for you.

I dislike php. That’s my feeling. The vibe.

When I’m browsing self hostable things I avoid php unless it’s really the only option.

My completely unsupported “feeling” is that apps written in php are awkward and clunky and just less pleasant to host.

I’m sorry if that offends you, and I don’t care at all what you think of my opinion.

I only mentioned “php apps feel old” because I could see you were some kind of php devotee and that it would trigger you. Maybe look into that.

Yes, but does that mean the statement is true or does it just mean that the statement resonates with young voters?

The system does have grave problems that desperately need to be addressed but the far right doesn’t have the answers.

It’s very frustrating to encounter American progressive voters who are actively undermining their only chance at representation.

That’s a cool concept, but a made up word.

Language evolves, sure. But making up words is like genetically engineering a third leg or something.

Weirdly this is true.

I’m a lot less attractive in my appearance but aparently more attractive as a person.

Nah.

Some people age well, others don’t. IMO the ratio is about the same in any gender.

In a decades time the rest of the world will be putting sanctions on the US demanding they improve their renewable game.

Lets back up the truck a little.

Sounds like a cool idea, why don’t you set it up?

This sarcastic little witticism required a sarcastic and witty response, which I provided.

Obviously I’m not going to set it up because, as I said in my earlier comments it’s a dreamy idea. I could go on to say, in the absence of such a technological solution, archive.org should still refrain from copyright infringement because they quite obviously aren’t viable with their current stance.

you’re licking the boots of record companies

You’ll have to help me understand how this is so. In my comments I laid out a plan to maintain archive.org’s data for no (or very little) cost or effort, while ensuring that those record company’s receive nothing.

For users, the value of archive.org is the data. However, that data has no value to litigators nor anyone else. You can literally let the existing organisation collapse, and take the data to form a new organisation.

If you want to interpret this plan as doing “nothing at all” then you’re free to do so.

However, and forgive me this final sarcasm, doing nothing at all would be more productive than a change.org petition.
