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.

LANA!

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.

It’s ok coffee. It’s like Chikfila - in 1998, when your mall got its first Starbucks, it was head and shoulders above the other options, which were 7/11 and IHOP. However, now that chicken sandwiches are taken seriously, basically everyone who tries beats whatever soggy shit CFA has on offer.

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.

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.

What are you doing about the homeless crisis?

I would even take the issue getting equal time with gaza amoung internet slacktivists. Unfortunately the propaganda value for US politics is low, so it is what it is, I guess.

I don’t understand how older or clumsy people use these without falling in their own shit on occasion. I feel like even for a relatively athletic person, the probability of an incident surely approaches one given enough time.

I think it’s funny that there have been a bunch of stories about how genZ is smoking again because it’s some kind of nihilist counterculture and I’m just like… Yeah I didn’t quit smoking because the priest gave me a very stern lecture. I quit because I got tired of hacking up half a lung every morning.

Honestly who even needs octave unless you are trying to run someone else’s Matlab? Numpy and ipython notebooks are superior to both in literally every way.

I have found Gemini the hardest to jailbreak tbh. I have been able to get Claude and CGPT to straight up give me a list of curses and slurs it isn’t allowed to say, but Gemini will only do it if you say the words first.

Is this rage bait?
