It does on Piefed. Not sure about Lemmy.

The only song I’m playing for a teenager who can’t get themselves up on time in my house is the theme song to being grounded. At this age they are perfectly capable of accepting responsibility for getting up on time.

I agree and for my kids that is the rule.

One of my kid’s schools had a wild debate about this for their yearly charity “Readathon.” The kids get sponsors to sign up to pledge the amount of money they will donate for each book the kid reads during the readathon. Parents are expected to sign off that their kid really did the reading for all the books they put on their sheet. Other than that its on the honor system. They’ve been doing it for 60+ years.

The kids don’t get any prizes but they do get certificates of recognition for various levels of achievement. It came up this year, that some parents count audiobooks and others don’t. They have been doing it like this for ome years now but it was never discussed before. The rules don’t say anything about audiobooks but they were written back when audiobooks weren’t common.

We had some seriously intense discussions in the Parents Charter (the name for our PTA) and lots of people have strong feelings about this! In the end the agreement was that transparency is best so the form has been updated with one side for audiobooks and one side for books. For purpose of donation they are counted the same.

I have six and I’m not taking any more, sorry pal!

Sales people say anything to close the deal. They don’t care.

What’s your threat model?

Identify a skill that is in demand and find a way to learn it. That’s the only secret to having an income.

It seems like you rather answer the question than ask it. Have you considered starting a blog?

How am I not following my own advice?

How about you do you and I do me?

Well I don’t know what to tell you friend. I’m as bathed in the blood as they come and this has not been my experience. Consider Proverbs 11:27

“Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches for it.”

It doesn’t matter. Unless they are keeping the apartment at an unreasonably high or low temp, then California typically recognizes a landlord’s right to require you to keep the windows closed when the AC is running.

This is not legal advice but in California, the landlord of a rooming house (which it sounds like you are in) has the right to make reasonable house rules and “keep the windows closed when the AC is on” is generally recognized as reasonable rule. Its unlikely a court would side with you on this.

Keeping the window open in a room (even with the door shut) impacts the temperature and humidity of the rest of the house. Rooms within a house are not air tight when the door is closed. In fact, the airflow in a house is designed to circulate and mix all the air from all the rooms so that the AC runs efficiently, even when the doors are closed.
