@2001faster we're almost there aren't we

@stinerman that one's a real roll of the dice, I agree.

@benpocalypse which would make them the most happy?

@mlinksva I mean, that's usually the intention. Sometimes I really want to find out how popular something is. Most of the time I'm hoping to spark thought and conversation.

@levels_check oh shit

@mlinksva thanks!

Are you asking why the numbers are different between the four options?

Yes, seeking minimum obligation is not often compatible with child-rearing.

@Keev Great question! I'll answer when the poll is done.

@evan@onepage.pub hello

@bhawthorne anyway, I'm sorry I replied to your choice not to answer the question. It's none of my business if you answer or not. I'm deleting my reply.

@ridicol yeah, I saw a few. I was looking for the original source. The articles that mention Bloomberg don't include a link.

@bhawthorne it's not a trick question but it might feel that way. "Would you want X for your child?" is another way of asking, "Do you think X is good for someone? Or is minimally harmful?"

Because for many of us, we want what's best for our kids more than almost anything, so it's a way to think about an option with the utmost care for the participant.

It may be specific to your family; if your child is passionate about lacrosse, sports might be the best option for them, if not for everyone.

@dbs good choice!

@MarkMifsud "none of the above" isn't an option. Choose the least bad one.

@elduvelle no

@kaasbaas "none of the above" is not an option. What's the least worst?

@ridicol do you have a Bloomberg link? I can't find any direct links online for "Bloomberg Eilat port bankruptcy".

@bplein Aw! Best answer so far.

@dave @samsethi @james I'm going to open a ticket for it on the Mastodon GitHub.

@dave @samsethi @james I think it does a better job with the `object` of a `Create` activity.

@dave @samsethi @james

It would also be great if more servers had better handling of arbitrary activity types.

It looks like Mastodon only handles a fixed set of Activity types and doesn't use fallback représentations for them:

@Marrekoo don't worry, it's a non-binding poll.

I've already gotten a lot of responses along the lines of "whatever they want" or "whatever makes them happy".

That's an admirable rubric for making a decision.

Now, look at the list and pick the one that you think is most likely for them to want or to make them happy.

@Marrekoo which of these four professions do you think is most likely to make them feel good, purposeful, happy, and worthy?

I really enjoy when people share their thought process with me as they go through my polls. The threads can be really fun. But just having reply after reply telling me how wrong I am and how bad it is to post questions I think are fun and interesting really wears me down.

Of these four achievements, which would you want most for your child?

I went to the doctor this morning and I got to take off my wrist brace. It's a good day.

For #SocialCG issue triage:

I've got a medical appointment for tomorrow in the hour before the CG meeting, so I'm going to move to the hour *after* the CG meeting.

I realize that changing the time is inconvenient to participants and I appreciate your patience.

White River Junction, VT has 7 fast charging stations. Two are behind a gas station and near a McDonald's. That's the best spot. Two are in a Toyota dealership; two in a Chevrolet dealership (that's the one we're at). One is in the parking lot of an abandoned hotel. None are within walking distance of the restaurants, cafes and stores in the downtown.

So, who is in the Free/Open Source software community in Brazil, advising the government on how to move to the Fediverse? And how can I help you?

I spent 90 minutes at a Market Basket supermarket in Biddleston Maine this morning. It was the closest fast public charger to our beach hotel -- about 15 km from the shore. I had a coffee and did some work in the supermarket cafe.

Thinking this morning about people on Black Rock playa, enjoying the aftermath of the Burn and beginning to plan their packup and route home. Enjoy the moment now; Sunday is the best day; don't leave before you're gone.

I meditated every day in August.

@LaurensHof how many Brazilians have joined Threads?

Are you celebrating Labo[u]r Day Weekend?

The thing about negotiations is that one side can't obstruct a deal. It just means that their demands havent been met. Negotiating means finding a solution that's acceptable to both parties.

I'll be speaking at Berlin Fediday on Sep 14. Exciting stuff!

I made a batch of elderberry liqueur from our backyard elderberry bush. It's got a beautiful colour. It's going to ferment for a couple of weeks and then I'll bottle it and let it age for six months. Should be a nice spring liqueur!

All other factors being equal, does having a silly name make Internet things more or less successful?
