“No child left behind!, no child left behind. Oh really? It wasn’t long ago you were talking about giving children a head start. Head Start-Left Behind. Someone’s losing fucking ground here.” - George Carlin

At this point, everyone is breaking the law online already. It’s just a matter of the level.

This will not do anything. Kids are typically dumb online, adventurous, but dumb online who’ll do dumb things in unpredictable fashions. It’s like putting all of those plug covers to make sure children don’t pull them off, except they will and do, prompting them to curiously stick a fork into the socket.

That senator is more concerned about what’s online for kids, than how Republicans are actively pushing kids to work jobs that are unsafe for them. Might want to re-evaluate your priorities, dude.

Don’t even get me started how kids have long been able to lie about their age online to get to adulterated content.

“Here, I just want a space where we can just talk about the idea of talking about what we would like to talk about!”

The age old tried and true method of ignoring them.

I would love to have relived my high school days again, it wasn’t too too bad. Might’ve have had a rough start for the first few months of freshman year, but that was to be expected. The rest of the years was fine, all things considered.

It was my middle school years that I honestly am better off forgetting, aside from a few good childhood highlights that everyone else would remember. Things like how decorated for the holidays the school got, halloween parties, special activities and other things. But I don’t miss the humiliating points and the struggles of having to put up with antagonizing people.

Yeah because by that point, men weren’t allowed to have feelings. Men had to be…Men who did MAN things. Working on cars - MAN thing. Drinking beers - MAN thing. Doing lumberjack or other fields of intensive labor - MAN thing. There was no room for these things called emotions because that made you a BOY and we need to separate the boys from the men! That was the kind of rhetoric that was instilled in male society for decades up to that point.

And it took someone like an animated character like Kenshiro from an anime to show people that it’s actually okay for guys to have feelings. In a show where he does an awful lot of manly things.

7th Generation of consoles was the beginning of the end times. It was the beginning of the practice of DLCs, preorders, early access and microtransactions. Oh and how much they relied being online.

And how they later market on later CD players as “now comes with 30 second anti-skip!” which barely worked.

I hear you there. The last full time involvement of participating on Reddit for me was like a couple months ago. I couldn’t complain about my job anymore, like everyone else that normally complains about their jobs, without getting downvoted to oblivion over it. Why? Because “dats what reddit does!” is pretty much the only logic that it can boil down to when it comes to Reddit - it’s because that’s their bastardized logic and they happily carry it out. Just so anybody they don’t like, is discouraged from participating.

Everyone turns everything into an unnecessary debate because people want to sound smarter than they really are.

E-mail is never going to lose relevance. It is too heavily used for it to go away. It’s used to register to many, many places online.

Facebook is just being treated as a place you glance into to see how everyone you know is doing. Nobody really uses it for anything beyond that.

Or it’s really a month old and it’s only maybe got about two responses. Makes me sigh sometimes and a little defeated in the idea of the fediverse but we’re all shoved into this position because the other platforms have sucked so much to have us here.

And it’s like we have the inventory but nobody feels like stocking the shelves.

And so it was, the scent of coffee through concrete will influence coffee drinking by 500%.

It just depends on what you want out of your system and whether the distro can fulfill your needs.

If you’re still wanting everything you run on Windows, to run on a Linux distro like as if it was out of the box and no need of another program, you’re going to end up having to stick to Windows because that kind of perfection doesn’t exist.

Yeah because Reddit blames YOU and not itself.

It seems to be used by people who cheat, want to be discreet and maybe practice scams.

What’re the chances that some of the people programming AI are bigots themselves?

The problem isn’t the charity, it’s the restrictive way a business handles charity donating.

Why a quarter? Why these select brands? Could’ve done so much better.
