Chunky heel boots, newsboy cap, skinny cargo pants. Black belt, plain comfortable tshirt. Pics resemble what I would wear from a very quick search. These styling posts are fun :)
I say this as someone who thinks adoption is a wonderful thing to do and is fine with the idea of raising children that are not biologically mine:
At least in my country, children that are up for adoption often have severe birth/cognitive defects and/or trauma (carrying a healthy child to term and giving it up for adoption is pretty much unheard of). While that’s a risk you face with biological children too, I don’t blame anyone for wanting to minimize that risk by not taking in a child that could require specialized care for the rest of its life with no guarantee of success (this applies to couples who choose to terminate a pregnancy upon discovering the risk of severe defects).
Adopted children are also more likely to struggle with integrating with their new family compared to a child that you raised from birth.
Finally, the process for adoption can be very lengthy and expensive, while fertility treatments are sometimes subsidized by governments or employers.
So, while I personally would never insist on having biological children, I don’t think it’s inherently immoral for others to want them or to not want the challenges that come with adoption.
As much as I hoped for someone to be able to identify the song from my bungled lyrics, nope, that’s not the one. The song I heard was a more serious sounding rap song.
What prompted the post: I feel silly even saying it, but there was a rap song playing at my gym with female vocals in the chorus singing what sounded like “it’s the batteries of your mom”, which I’m certain are not the correct lyrics.
Thanks for the clarification. I wrongly assumed Microsoft was using Wi-Fi positioning systems (which is used for geolocation, just not in this particular case) instead of reading their documentation.
I’ll update the comment.
I also don’t think most workplaces are going to punish you for opting out of this feature even if organizational policy requires it to be enabled.
WhatsApp Web can be used in a browser. WhatsApp is still a major form of communication in some countries, including for international business communications.
This is what I gathered on the subject, feel free to correct if anything is wrong:
The WiFi tracking works by scanning for nearby WiFi networks, identifying which routers are nearby and their signal strengths, matching those against their database of known WiFi access points, and using that data to estimate your location.
For now the feature will be off by default, first has to be enabled by your company, and then the user has to opt in for it to be used.
For those who are required to use Microsoft products, it can by bypassed by using a wired Ethernet connection and not using Teams on any devices using a wireless connection.
Edit: As @lividweasel@lemmy.world pointed out, Microsoft is not using WiFi positioning systems to determine location, but rather updating your location to “in the office” or not depending on whether your device is connected to one of the organization’s WiFi SSIDs.
I chose from the general purpose instances because I don’t know enough about or align myself closely with the more niche instances. The stability of the instances and number of instances it blocked/was blocked by was also a factor, since I wanted a neutral experience - here’s where I found that data.
After lemm.ee shut down, I wanted to try PieFed, and the name piefed.world made me imagine a world fed with pie. Thought that was cute.
I guess you are being downvoted because people don’t like to be confronted with such cruel practices, but having lived in a place where anesthesia is a privilege very rarely given to village animals, I can confirm that it does happen. The main reasons given are that it fattens the piglets faster and makes them less aggressive though, not boar taint.
Tsujigiri (辻斬り or 辻斬, literally "crossroads killing") is a Japanese term for a practice when a samurai, after receiving a new katana or developing a new fighting style or weapon, tests its effectiveness by attacking a human opponent, usually a random defenseless passer-by, in many cases during night time. The practitioners themselves are also referred to as tsujigiri.
The act of tsujigiri against defenceless civilians was widely and socially condemned as immoral, cowardly, and associated with rogue samurais and bandits, and was not considered common or respectable samurai practice. It was made a capital offence by law in 1602 by the Edo government.
Thanks! I’ve been looking for a new language learning app. I disliked a lot about DuoLingo but I have to admit that the streak system, spaced repetition (to an extent) and being able to access it anywhere from my phone were helpful features. I use Brulingua now, which also has audio from native speakers and lessons on practical, everyday topics, but it’s not available for mobile in my region and there’s no one to correct your pronunciation. I’ll check out Busuu.
