  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_drinking_age

    Seventeen states (Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Wyoming) and the District of Columbia have laws against possession of alcohol by minors, but they do not prohibit its consumption by minors.

    Fourteen states (Alaska, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Wisconsin, and Virginia) specifically permit minors to drink alcohol given to them by their parents or by someone entrusted by their parents.[1]^

    Many states also permit the drinking of alcohol under the age of 21 for religious or health reasons.

    If you’re in one of the above states, it’s probably fine as long as you’re with her. As a backup, just invent your own religion that has a special ceremony at age 5, consisting of this exact meal, with wine.

  • I kinda wish we’d merge them… which I know goes against the grain of how the fediverse is supposed to operate.

    Not necessarily:

    One of the advantages of a decentralized platform like Lemmy is the ability to create parallel communities on the same topic. “You don’t like how a community is being moderated? Go to another instance and start your own community!” (with or without blackjack and hookers)

    However, this is a double-edged sword. The creation of multiple communities on the same (or similar) topics can also fragment the userbase, leading to very sparsely populated communities.

    I think it only makes sense to have multiple communities on the same topic if each version serves a specific niche or has a unique moderation style. I think most of the examples you’ve given would be suitable for consolidation into two or three communities.

    More info on consolidating communities in the pinned thread on !fedigrow@lemmy.zip.

    What are your thoughts?
