But those things are objectively true

Please give me illegal float value number of beers

They work fine for people who use them correctly

I mean at the same time if we accept the premise that parents are unable or unwilling to use the mountains of currently available tools, why would we assume that “just one more tool, bro” is actually a solution to the “problem.”

Throw a dildo at them

So then the law is pointless as implemented, since parents can already do this. Which leads to the conclusion that there must be some other motivation

Right, so the law is pointless, since there is already a thousand different ways to control what children see on the Internet.

Because I don’t give a shit what your kids do on the Internet, and there are already plenty of tools for you to curate the experience for them.

Yup, fuckass delivery drivers blocking the road all day and the meter maids don’t do shit, but I park half an inch into the yellow outside my own fucking house and this guy will make sure I get a new ticket every six hours on the dot because that’s how often he’s allowed to write them.

LANA!

Um ackshually it’s charge which is being moved

Don’t mind me, I’m just here for the self awareness.

Oh no my friend, you have made a grave error as are not allowed to remind the MLs that China is revisionist.

Please delete this for your own safety and swear loyalty to our one modernist dogma which was conceived in immaculate perfection 178 years ago!

There is a very real bias against Chinese/SEA names in the west, whether it is intentional or not. Chinese students and expats know that they are far more likely to get eg, interviews and dates if they put a western name on their resume or dating profile.

I’m sure they just understand the problems with glorifying warfare in video games marketed to children.

Yes, the advertising is straight up misleading, saying shit like it protects you from viruses, and hides your browsing history from your ISP and lets you get international Netflix. It literally does nothing for viruses, it just exposes you to a different ISP (Nord), and Netflix is usually pretty quick about VPN blocking.

It absolutely is, but as with any hobby spending money on new things is part of what keeps it fresh. The issue is that cyclists get really insecure about this. I am a commuter who does a solid 200 miles per week and can drop most of our local bike club on my steel commuter bike while wearing a tshirt and baggy shorts. I honestly don’t judge though, whatever makes you happy, but I do occasionally run into people who are like “you can’t join the group ride without proper equipment” because I don’t wear a skin suit or use the clipclop shoes. Whatever bro, let’s see if your $800 padded onesie can beat my 8 year old gap Khakis.

I work with the city housing advocacy board as a navigator who helps get people housing vouchers. Though I was mostly leaning into the doom posting, not really asking a question.

Definitely. They just don’t have the balls to do it.
