I suspect it's legal because it was a prevalent practice before laws were made, and nobody wanted to change that so they just made sure the law allowed for what they were already doing. For example, Kansas was part of a "territory" before it was a state, so only the USA as a whole had authority, and I doubt there were many laws about the subject we're discussing, so there was probably literally no local law enforcement in most of Kansas at some point. Additionally, in the USA people settled / farm(ed) by having one family live far away from everyone else (as opposed to in Europe where it was supposedly more common to have a central place where a lot of people lived and then they would walk to their sector of farmland that surrounds the town). This means that people with 8 kids probably assigned any 14 or 16 or 12 year olds to watch the younger kids, while the adults and older children were out farming or preparing food (which took a lot more time in the past), since there was no other adult that was physically close by (and any that were would probably have to attend to their own farm/business rather than help with raising someone else's kids).

I don't feel weird if I'm just walking around in front of my home. I occasionally forget to bring a phone with me when I go outside, but if I remember I'll go back and get one.

If I managed to get to a grocery store or bus stop without a phone, I would probably feel stupid and still do whatever I wanted to do outside, but then go directly home rather than doing another errand.

I have no problem with staring into space or looking around rather than looking at a phone. I have mobile data, but I rarely use it nowadays, and I only have one somewhat boring game application installed on my phone.

I don't go to many places, and it's even rarer for me to travel through multiple municipalities, so I just remember how to get to the places I often want to go, and if I was going to a distant location I'd be even more likely to notice if I forgot my phone since I'd probably want to set up navigation before leaving. I use OsmAnd for navigation so it's not a problem if I don't have access to the internet, and I'm used to navigating without using the internet so navigating entirely without a phone is probably easier for me than for some people.

It seems there aren't any exact replacements, but this probably lists service providers to consider: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/email/

It's not the typical type of thing that is shared using this community, or using Lemmy in general, so I understand that people might be surprised. However, It doesn't seem that there are recent posts for this community, and the community name is relevant to my post, and it doesn't seem that there are actually any rules for the community, so I used this community anyway.

I'm not sure, but the reasons for being "wobbly" are pretty interesting: https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/5019/why-do-3d-models-on-the-playstation-1-wobble-so-much

If I was deigning an emulator, I'd try to match the behavior of the original system as closely as possible, since people designing a program for that system might have depended on any behavior they observed (intentionally or unintentionally), so I'd keep the "wobble" (or provide a way to disable it, but keep it enabled by default).

This community immediately reminded me of this classic video.

Have fun being able to pay your own rent!

 

I found this website as it was linked from https://nostr-resources.com/#clients which in turn was linked from https://snort.social/e/note1g6numqqhrxlwku6cnwfrxhkrjvytn0dej85uew8gkneyyutgvcdsnm0y7p

I recall that several months ago when I heard about nostr for the first time I didn't find guides on how to post, nor where I could download a client, so hopefully sharing these links will help people onboard!
