The thing I dislike the most is that my bot got banned. I made a bot to post carefully categorized articles into their proper communities, but it was banned without warning or explanation. All the communities I was modding dried up shortly thereafter because I didn't manually post in them instead.

I haven't made it myself yet, but I've always wanted to make my own tepache, a fermented drink made with the rinds and core of a pineapple. I drink it a lot of the De La Calle tepache and really like it.

Someone offered a definition here: https://lemmy.world/comment/8529913

From the discussion, that definition may also be a hallucination, though.

 

The article is a bit Washington-centric, but The Communities Over Highways Campaign the article is about is not -- I just couldn't find a source with a broader perspective. You can find the campaign's site here: https://americawalks.org/the-communities-over-highways-campaignwhat-you-need-to-know/

 

Mental health is a crisis for learners globally, and digital support is increasingly seen as a critical resource. Concurrently, Intelligent Social Agents receive exponentially more engagement than other conversational systems, but their use in digital therapy provision is nascent. A survey of 1006 student users of the Intelligent Social Agent, Replika, investigated participants’ loneliness, perceived social support, use patterns, and beliefs about Replika. We found participants were more lonely than typical student populations but still perceived high social support. Many used Replika in multiple, overlapping ways—as a friend, a therapist, and an intellectual mirror. Many also held overlapping and often conflicting beliefs about Replika—calling it a machine, an intelligence, and a human. Critically, 3% reported that Replika halted their suicidal ideation. A comparative analysis of this group with the wider participant population is provided.

Sorry, I haven’t quite figured out how to set alt text on images when posting from my phone quite yet — the website is easy because the entry box allows markdown, but my mobile client doesn’t seem to have a box for it? I’m working on figuring it out. But my understanding is that, with good alt text, pictures of text are fine for blind folks?

I honestly don't see a reason why anybody would want something like that

Famous last words.

My understanding is that they are considering how much a neighborhood is "worth" in terms of the amount of tax revenue provided to the city. So, although each individual house on a cul-de-sac produces more tax revenue than each house in the poorer crescent (they cost more and so generate more property tax revenue; their residents make more and so generate more in sales and income tax revenue), because the poorer neighborhood is much denser, the total revenue is much larger.

I will admit. though, that I posted the article because I found it interesting but didn't feel like I fully got my head around it, and was hoping to get some input from the community.

I feel similarly, except I wish more users were interacted with my sports communities too. Guess it's a "have your cake and eat it too" kind of problem.

This seems like the starter pack you're looking for: https://dnd.wizards.com/products/dd-core-rules-gift-set -- there is no Rules book, as such, just the phb and dms guide.

I was just sharing my experience with running the communities for the three clubs in my city. I look forward to hearing about your experience with running all those -- I'm sure you'll do much better than I and much more efficiently.

Just doing a few soccer teams and a league -- it's a lot of time and a lot of infrastructure
