The show is its own thing. It was always going to need to be radically different to work on the screen. That's what adaptation means.

Since we're all asking for various content filters, can I kindly request that all posts about this woman have an NSFW tag so I don't have to see that face in my feed?

That's exactly what uncles are for.

r/the_donald or anything like it. Kindly fuck off with all of that shit.

Common sense and decency would suggest doing them as child comments so that the whole thread of them can be easily collapsed.

Only a jackass would do a bot command as a top comment.

When that happens, just remind them that the opposite of woke is comatose, and ask if they prefer being a vegetable.

 

Say a 4-yr-old who likes to mess with things saw my kindle lying on a table, because I like being able to pick it up and read whenever without having to dig it out of a drawer or high shelf out of reach. Before anybody saw she had the kindle, she had lost my spot in my book, changed the font size, and purchased two books from the Amazon store. Annoying, but could have been worse.

I got the books refunded and found my page again. Also turned off one-click purchases, which was infuriatingly on by default on the kindle even though I had already disabled it on my phone and computer previously - I don't use the store from my kindle, so had never had reason to suspect it was an issue.

No harm done though. She could have deleted stuff. So I put a passcode on it too. But it occurred to me after some research that the kindle offers to factory reset itself after five unsuccessful passcode attempts. Which means if the little devil gets up to her shenanigans again, there's a decent chance she'll end up just wiping my kindle. That's even worse than just leaving it unlocked and risking her messing things up.

It kind of sucks that there's no real third option, aside from just keeping the thing out of her reach at all times. Anybody else have this admittedly niche problem, and how did you deal with it?

For a moment I thought I had stumbled on a Lemmy equivalent of r/nottheonion. This man is a cartoon.

Good habits start now. Link to equivalent Lemmy communities (equivalemmys? sublemmys? what's the plural of Lemmy anyway?) as they come up:
