I see the issue here less as “the kids get nothing” and more a concern at where they money ends up.
Houses get massively inflated over time… Older parents sell, but the money all ends up at some retirement home. Retirement homes are owned by a bunch of hedge funds and/or rich folk. Staff at these places often aren’t paid particularly well either.
The end result is still higher prices for everyone else, while the rich folk get richer as everything rises into unaffordabilty.

13·8 days agoI mean, for the most part yes. I’m not even so much concerned about my kids viewing porn, more so than somebody else will make nasty deepfakes of them and post online etc, so age verification won’t fix that.
I could see it help with discriminating between people at their “own damn computers” and bots or misinformation/psyops campaigns run out of certain foreign countries though (assuming any ID also ties back to parent country).

Technology•Anna's Archive Loses $322 Million Spotify Piracy Case Without a Fight;In addition to the penalty, a permanent injunction required domain registrars and other parties to suspend the site's domain namesEnglish

It’s a bit of both, but the gender problem is at least partially derived from the fact that the larger portion of assholes at the top are men.
Getting rid of them or clipping their wings would likely be overall better for women. Replacing them with a billionaire-class of women would not.
TBH, there was another guy but he is either dead or disappeared now.
But the factor of whether people get tried for their crimes is much more about wealth and connection than gender IMO. Even in jail she’s given preferential treatment, and I’m sure there are other women who have been involved with Epstein’s Island of evil in additional to the rich men.
Yes. The pedodent is supported by the billionaire class and in turn funnels even more taxpayer dollars to then and his own family. The billionaires in turn help manufacture of amplify the conflicts he feeds upon.

3·8 days agoYou can kinda already do that with parental controls on kids’ devices and many routers, as well as services provided by ISP’s. In Canada there’s also a free national DNS provider that has a tier the filters out known malicious and/or adult sites at the DNS level depending on which hosts you point at.

9·8 days agoThe ONLY way I could remotely support age verification is if it was anonymized from the individual, similar to how companies like Mullvad do their VPN or with prepaid gift cards etc
You get a card that has a PIN behind a scratch-off section. You can buy the card for cash or order online, but there’s nothing tying the buyer to the card.
Age verification can be similar where you go to a registered location, provide valid ID and like $5 to get a scratch off card. The code on the card just validates “user is 18+” but otherwise has no ties back to their actual identity.
If a site wants to do an age check, it can validate the card PIN or on phone potentially scan a 3d barcode behind the scratch-off. Maybe some hash check could be involved to avoid the need for a centralized provider.
Is it just a tail or is it mechanised? A mechanised tail that I’d have some control over sounds awesome.
Well, depending on where the controller goes…
Honestly, I think the first criteria for assessing any media, political, or social media messaging should be “is this trying to drum up blame/hatred against any particular group (that isn’t the rich or politicians themselves)”
Because it is is, then it’s likely a manufactured controversy designed to deflect from the rich/politicians or have you serve their goals

I’m pretty sure “I supported the Antichrist and his friendly corporations in ending the world, but I confess to Jeebus and feel really sorry” isn’t going to be a valid argument for entry into the pearly gates…
That’s how I remember it. Cursed Reddit post…
Huh, they spelled cookie wrong and used a “ch” instead of a “k”
“these tampons didn’t do anything and my undergarments are now ruined!”
‘well duh, didn’t you read the side of the packaging?’





I’m stuck with it at work and already the bullshit like AI summary etc is driving me nuts
