    What is even the point of this?

    Remember the end of Titanic, when the crew needs to keep the poor folks away from the life rafts?

    That didn't really happen tho.

    The problem with 3rd class passenger not getting to the lifeboats was that the boat deck was accessible to I class, II class and ships crew. The III class folks were completely unfamiliar with that part of the ship (and parts leading to boat deck - the whole superstructure). At first some officers were mentioned to have enforced class segregation between areas but that was also a time when people went back to their cabins because "this ship is unsinkable, nothing bad will happen". When it became clear the ship is doomed the III class did reach the boat deck but already most life boats were launched.

    Without reading the post, to deter vandals and mystery poopers.

    Gotta train them kids to become familiar with prison environments. There's a whole industry waiting for them.

    Whilst Lemmy is growing and trying to compete in content against the goliath that is reddit it needs to be reposted so to speak. I'm not about taking original or potentially original posts and claiming them as my own so it's good practice to source the location of the original.

    We are competing with a platform that has existed since 2005, it's no easy task. You may find posts that are original posts. Just again best practice. Source the original.

    Just credit the reddit user, that's all you need. If anyone really cares they can go to reddit and look at their profile. That way you can still give credit where credit is due, and not increase reddit foot traffic.

    In fairness, I have just been doing this when mildly infuriating was born (5 days ago) and I want to ensure I am doing enough in terms of respecting the original poster. It is a good suggestion though.

    I guess a template of "Repost from [username] on [insert website]" would do fine." Good comment!

    I like how so far it seems people here are less aggressive and more willing to work together towards a goal that satisfies both parties rather than have a big dick swinging contest and get nowhere. Good job Lemmy.

    Why link to Reddit? Just give credit to the original source and be done.

    What’s it do? Test your DNA to make sure you only use the “correct” bathroom?

    This started happening in my high school a few years ago, Everyone seems to think that they did it to make it easier to catch people doing weed by closing half of the bathrooms at any given time. It's super annoying because the bathroom closest to my classes are always the ones to be locked for some reason so I have to walk across the entire school (the school is really big) to get to an open bathroom and when I do get there it's usually so dirty and crowded that it's almost unusable.

    If thats the case I think someone needs to call the fire marshal. No way I'd feel safe in a building which could lock me in like that.

    being an adult now, it's so weird seeing how schools were so overly punitive. why not treat kids decently like in college early on? even in kingergarten i'd understand 'you can use the bathroom now if you want but either way you have to learn the alphabet'

    kids today have it tough that's for sure. I'm curious to see how this affects society as a whole in 20-30 years.

    Sadly in 20-30 years climate change will be in full swing with natural disasters on the weekly and crop failure to boot, to say nothing of desertification and water shortages. Kids will have much bigger problems than school shooters.

    That's when you familiarize yourself with the locations of the teachers' lounges / bathrooms. When the need strikes you march in like you own the place and declare that they can either let you piss in the toilet or you're going on their crappy industrial couch with its 1970s cigarette burns.
