      This type of feeling also applies to getting your spouse to smirk during an argument

      few better parenting feelings than getting the reluctant little "okay dad you're being funny even if I really don't want to admit it" smile in the middle of a tantrum

      How long until we have vagina checks for women atheletes? The trans-hysteria was always a way to police women’s bodies.
      
      Soon vulnerable athletes will be forced to submit to genital checks. Because abuse in sports wasn’t rampant enough already?

      Lies in a yahoo news story: “The WNBA currently has multiple men play in the league”. Patrick bet David thinks the WNBA is trying to hide some shocking information.

      what would the technical implications be if things that already have universal IDs like ISBNs were added as a type of DID?
      
      e.g. at://did:isbn:9780316229302

      mirroring existing catalog records (books, films, venues, etc) in to atproto records is tempting, but (IMHO) an anti-pattern.
      
      instead of copying that data in and referencing with an AT-URI, you should reference them by existing identifiers (ISBN, OSM identifier, etc). appviews sync the catalog.
