Usually, just mama. There’s a few nickname alternates that have piled up over the years, but mama sticks for whatever reason. She usually prefers it as well, so that works.

Strangely, my dad has two. Daddy and papa. I use them interchangeably, my sister sticks with daddy.

My kid calls their mom mommy or mom usually. Mommy when they’re tired for sure though lol.

It’s actually been a good one overall.

Got new glasses, so I can see again. Had some lovely time with my wife. Had some yummy food. My birds (chickens) have all been highly entertaining. Had a great ttrpg session (though it isn’t actually tt, it’s online).

No drama, no unusual levels of pain. Anxiety has been under control. No PTSD bullshit popping up.

It’s just been a really good week overall.

Aight, not a biologist, just an interested bystander.

But, yeah, everything alive has their microbiome. There’s an assortment of standard ones that are everywhere on earth, but there’s also some regional, and species specific types.

Iirc, sloths have a variety of algae that’s unique to them, or it may be that it’s a variant of a species. Something like that, but the point is that sloths have a biome adapted to them.

Going back to my disclaimer again, I believe that there’s also a fairly species related mixture of bacteria and fungi. Not accurate numbers, but something like 50% yeast, 25%staph, 25%lactobacilii as an example. If that were our mix, a gorilla might be 50/20/30 instead. The different conditions on the skin and fur/hair mean different types of microbes will do better or worse in a given climate with given environmental conditions. Again, totally armchair on this.

But the mixes aren’t static. All those microbes are competing. As conditions shift, so does the prevalence of one or some of them. That’s how yeast infections usually occur. Something happens to change the strength of other microbes and the yeast goes crazy taking over

That was my thought too. If it had that, it would have everything I want a phone to have. On paper at least, things don’t always match spec lists

Man, I tell you, there is something nice about being a regular and engaging like that.

You do have to make sure the staff are cool with it, but being able to roll in for your transaction and be happy to see the staff, and have them happy to see you because you’re happy to see them and everyone is nice to each other, it fucking rocks.

My corner store of choice, I used to go there for cigarettes almost daily in part because it was such a good time. I could have gone less often and bought more, but it was cool as fuck.

They knew me by name, would ask my dad or wife how I was doing if they went, and they’d send messages back to me.

There were times when things were really busy, and regulars would start bullshitting with staff and each other, and the less familiar customers would be smiling and laughing too because happy is contagious.

How fucking rad is that?

I stopped smoking, but I still find reasons to stop in here and there, and it’s still that same friendly, relaxed vibe. It feels like a community in there. That’s mostly because the staff are all people that make that vibe possible by being willing to do that social dance. Yeah, the people in the area have to play their part too, but you gotta respect and admire the folks putting themselves out there like that.

Back during COVID, the crew at our stop n rob managed to maintain that community feeling, even behind masks and the plastic shields, while wearing gloves. That’s fucking beast mode right there.

You find a store like that, where people can be people instead of machines exchanging goods for cash, that’s the place to be.

Ehhh, the big factor is that a pickling brine is controlled and small.

You don’t start out with an entire ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, scavengers, and the wide ranging temperatures that exist in an ocean.

Secondary to that, you tend to be dealing with cuts of meat when pickling, not entire bodies.

See, part of what causes decomposition are the enzymes released as individual cells die, and those produced by the bacteria already in the body.

When we slaughter an animal, it doesn’t just get thrown in brine whole. If you did, it would rot from the inside, no matter what the outside brine was like.

Instead, the carcass is drained of blood, organs are removed, and the meat will typically be kept very cool during transport and storage. When you put that into the brine, you’re severely limiting what bacteria are present in the first place. The brine will almost always be made with processed water from a tap, or from a known clean source like wells or springs. So, again, you have a very restricted range of bacteria.

The salt then limits them more. So you’ll lack the bacteria that thrive in salty conditions in the ocean, and only those in the air and fresh water even have a chance to eat the meat before salt kills off the ones that won’t ferment or otherwise preserve foods, including meats.

But! Deep sea conditions are very cold, and there has been footage of scavengers down there eating very well preserved carcasses. Some of that meat may well have pickled to some degree, as some of the fermentation bacteria can handle cold.

So, what it amounts to is that pickling isn’t purely done by the action off salt on the food. Brine pickling is essentially sourdough for meats and veggies. You grow bacteria that prevent the food from going bad in a dangerous way, which leaves you with something that will stay edible much longer. That’s kinda over simplified, but I think it’s good enough for this

It only matters insofar as time invested.

If someone is just fucking around, trolling, baiting, or deliberately trying to spread some kind of propaganda in the guise of “just talking”, it’s annoying as fuck to spend fifteen minutes writing up a considered and meaningful comment. Sometimes it’s worth it anyway, if only to leave it for anyone coming along later, but it’s still a giant waste of effort that could could have been spent on someone or something genuine.

That doesn’t include someone playing devil’s advocate though. That’s fine, though it’s good manners to say so up front.

The line can be a little blurry at times, obviously. Some folks just don’t engage with others well. But most of the time, it’s fairly obvious within one or two exchanges that someone is fucking with you, or they’re just really bad at engagement and discussion.

Side scroll for pc, top down for mobile.

That’s how I prefer things

They sure as fuck didn’t ask what you think they asked either, and since your responses have been inaccurate, I’m willing to stand by mine as answering the spirit of it, as well as a more useful one.

That’s how it should work.

Nobody with a lick of sense should be telling the police anything at all. Their attorney should. But that’s not what OP asked.

OP asked if the simple fact would be enough to get police off his ass. It wouldn’t be.

But yes, police can absolutely request records with your consent, and do at times. If you’re dumb enough to not have a lawyer in between.

And, they can as part of their investigation, request warrants for the same information. And they do. It has happened. It isn’t a hypothetical. Various law enforcement agencies get warrants for goggle data often enough that it’s no secret.

For your attorney to be asking for a court order for your records would only happen after you were charged. That’s not what OP asked about.

Afaik, Google wouldn’t even hesitate to give your data to your own attorney anyway. They might, just on the basis of them not wanting to play nice, but records like that can be gained by consent. It’s why cops can track cell phones that are yours without cops needing to get a warrant. If you’re agreeing to it, your due process rights are covered.

Again, you aren’t wrong if Google refused to give your attorney the information. They would then need to be forced via court order. But that isn’t the same thing as a warrant. All warrants are court orders, not all court orders are warrants.

Having an attorney means they have power of attorney. A request from them on your behalf is the same as you making the request. If Google resisted that request, and they could cook up some kind of basis for that I’m sure, but the attorney still wouldn’t need a warrant. Their request would be legal.

A warrant is permission from a court to take an action that would otherwise be illegal, and are issued to agents of the court/state (here in the US anyway, I’m not sure about anywhere else) to take actions that violate rights of citizens or other entities without due process. The warrant is supposed to be part of your due process, though they get abused all to hell and back.

It is police that serve warrants though, usually. They aren’t the only ones, and you could argue that any government agent acting on a warrant is de facto police, but chances of a warrant getting executed without some kind of law enforcement officer present are low. Particularly in the scenario OP asked about.

Think about it like this. If I want to get money from my bank account, I can, within the limitations set by my bank (hours of operation, etc). If I want someone else to be able to, there’s formalities involved, such as putting them on the account or granting them power of attorney. POA of that nature means they act as though they are me for a range of legal statuses. I could sign papers to make anyone POA, but the A in that is Attorney, and once a lawyer represents you officially, they have wide ranging ability to act on your behalf in a legal proceeding.

The courts, and by extension the “Justice system” that includes police, prosecutors and other agents, need a warrant if I don’t give permission. But I can give them that permission, sign some paperwork, and their requests for information would be the same as if I made the request.

And that’s what would happen in OP’s scenario where they want to provide an alibi. If you don’t want to clear yourself via YouTube history, that’s a different question entirely. But, once again, in the hopes of preventing this spiraling, OP asked about providing that alibi to the police.

You’re working on the idea of exhonoration being only at trial. Which, it still wouldn’t take a warrant since it’s your lawyer. But I’m working before indictment, when the investigation is still ongoing because that’s when it would first come up for an accused person. The cops say “where were you at X?” You say, “jerking off to anime on YouTube”, and they want to know if that’s true.

For it to reach trial before you bring it up means your lawyer is not doing their due diligence by asking what the fuck you were doing at the time of the crime.

You’re asking a pretty specific question, but your title looks like trolling. I’m starting with that because people tend to respond emotionally to the first things they read, and it means you aren’t getting solid answers.

Someone else already explained that reddit policies drove that rule, and that’s as much as anyone really knows.

At least, there was a wave of changes like that one, all around the same time, and the few mods that have said anything about it off of reddit have cited that as their reason mostly.

But there are a few that decided to take it as an opportunity to blunt the edge of gendered language in general. Afaik that sub hasn’t had anyone say that, but you did ask about reddit in general as well.

Expanding beyond that, and I want to emphasize that this is not the same thing as above, it’s tangential and here only for background; there are reasons to reduce gendered language overall. While it isn’t really going to totally change English where nobody uses gendered terms at all, reducing needlessly gendered language when speaking about people rather than men or women is an option that would help those among us that don’t fit gender expectations in one way or another. So (again, this is tangential) if you’re seeing it in other places, chances are that it’s intended to meet that concept.

With that, responding solely to your title, I’m not seeing a trend of obsession with it, even among people that are proponents of degendering language. It’s a pretty niche movement, and even the more dedicated proponents know that it isn’t something that’s going to happen just by applying rules to forums.

You do know that the cops are the ones that do the legwork, right? That most prosecutors rely on them to provide cause to get warrants in the first place. If the cops keep putting the same person forward as their target, that’s who a DA will try to get warrants for, not some other random asshole.

If you can’t convince the cops of your alibi, then chances are good that they’ll keep plodding along at it, regardless of them being right or wrong.

So, yeah, the cops have something to do with it

Depends on how bad the cops want to pin it on you.

If they’re on your ass hard, they’ll ignore exculpatory evidence. Since only YouTube playing isn’t concrete enough to guarantee much of anything about where you were, it’s definitely not going to satisfy them without more.

Even the phone itself being in you home the entire time isn’t definitive proof you were there.

There’s not even a guarantee you could establish reasonable doubt with every record of your phone being available, so you can’t pin your hopes on a jury either.

Hell, you could be on a call from a landline, and that isn’t sure fire proof you were at home. It’s better than a cell call, but there’s ways to fake being at home over landline if someone is determined enough.

It isn’t impossible though. You get the right investigators, they verify that your device was at home, and everything else is consistent with you being there, you could get bumped way down the list for their focus. Mind you, if every other possible suspect is then cleared, they’ll come back to you.

Well, it started Here

Then it expanded Like a contagion

Until Random, unconnected individuals started spreading it

But, Lemmy got it in a different way so the spread isn’t as severe.

Go into the light charade-anne

She’s a pretty girl. Order her the nuggets, maybe she’ll hop in the car and you can take her home.

I doubt it’ll ever be redesigned.

The reason it’s badly designed as is, is that people wanted specific inclusion into the primary symbol. There’s really no way to change a rainbow; it’s the standard spectrum of visible light being used as a symbol of everyone in their diversity being part of a group.

To be any more inclusive, you have to put things on top of the already inclusive rainbow. A corner piece or an inset is the only way to do that that isn’t horrible looking no matter what it is.

The chevrons from the side are at least visually balanced, though not well chosen colorwise. Then again, the representative colors weren’t chosen with being added to a flag in the first place.

Once you start changing an established symbol rather than just coming up with a new one, design goes out the window. It’s no longer cohesive because it can’t be. It’s like the difference between someone planning a tattoo that covers their arm, and someone getting a few dozen tattoos on their arm. Shoving things together without a plan ahead of time is airways going to be less visually pleasing.

But, visual pleasance isn’t what the flag is for, so maybe it’s more effective than something planned from the beginning. I dunno, but the fact that it isn’t “just” a rainbow does mean you can’t mistake it for someone liking rainbows in general, so that could be a benefit of that change.

I don’t agree that the original rainbow flag has too many colors though. If you don’t have the standard color spectrum there, it isn’t a rainbow to most people’s minds, so it would be worse design. The standard ROYGBV is standard for a pigment rainbow for a good reason.

Well, the degree and severity of what you’re describing isn’t what most people experience, and it seems like it is at an unhealthy degree of frequency and severity.

I would say that anyone experiencing that kind of inner turmoil would benefit from evaluation and treatment. Trying to diagnose someone online is a sucker’s bet even if you’re a qualified professional, and I seriously doubt you’re going to find one of those here on lemmy randomly. But, yeah, if a family member or friend out here in meatspace told me they were experiencing that, I’d be helping them find either a psychiatrist or other mental health provider sooner rather than later.

Most people do experience at least occasional intrusive thoughts, but not to that level. It’s very good that you recognize it’s an inner voice rather than a separate source though. It does tend to mean you’ll respond well to one or more of the various treatment options, which will depend in exactly what the root cause is. Likely, there would be a combination of medications and talk therapy of some variation or another.

And, I suspect that even though most people need to try a few meds before they find the best options, that you will likely get relief quickly once that happens. So you’ll be able to approach other treatments and benefit from them quickly as well.
