History ended three decades ago, but you'll be paying off your student loans till you die

  • Who said that there can't be regulations? The argument that we're making here is that a ban that requires users to give out more information to companies that have a horrible track record in protecting user information is a bad form of regulation. I for one would be extremely happy if there were tighter and more severe penalties for advertising to children. Removing the profit incentive for any of these companies to have children on the platform at all.

    Legally requiring human review for things like YouTube Kids (which nobody should be using anyway, especially when the PBS kids exists) and having a harsh penalty if an Elsa gate scenario happens again, like it ever stopped but still.

  • Because they want a parent on autopilot.

  • One, I'm not interested in making sure their coolest middle schooler. Well-Dressed and able to express their style through clothes, their bookbag etc. Two, I don't really want them in a bunch of group chats yapping constantly. Yes, they will miss out on a lot of communication but they don't need to be in constant 24/7 contact with anyone in elementary school and middle school. And finally, when I see them behaving maturely I may consider getting them a smartphone earlier. But if not they'll just be waiting until they turn 15. If they want to get on TikTok they can open up the app on the family room TV and they can be the same with YouTube.

    I'm not going to go through every single scenario parenting in the digital age, but I have to be aware and I have to monitor. And over time the amount of monitoring I do will have to be reduced based on the maturity that they're showing but also out of respect for their autonomy.

    But you know what's great about everything I said, you don't have to do any of that. You can give your kid the smartphone and let them get on FB messenger at 7 years old for all I care. And you know why I don't care? Because that's your decision and you can deal with the consequences or benefits of that parenting style.

    Though I'll be honest, I'm not certain what point you're trying to make here. Are you saying you want the ban so you can give your child a smartphone without thinking about how they're using it? Or are you saying no ban and iPhones for preteens?

  • There are these crazy things called "parental controls". You've probably never heard of them, but they're on nearly every single personal computing device. OR, and hear me out. You could just buy a dumb phone for your kids until they're sixteen, and if they want to take pictures, buy them an inexpensive digital camera. It would be cheaper overall than buying them an iPhone. But no, that's probably too difficult for you, so everyone else has to give even more of their personal information if they want to use Facebook Marketplace or whatever.

  • Sure

  • Yes, but I think it's also to remember that ulfric was funded by the thalmor. The whole point of the Skyrim secession movement was just to weaken the empire and ultimately make both territories easier to invade in the future.

  • "I was worried about raising our kids in L.A., in the culture of Hollywood,” he told the magazine. “I don’t want them to be walking around worried about paparazzi. I don’t want them being compared to somebody else’s famous kids"

    This was the reason stated in the article, they're not seeking asylum. They literally just wealthy people acquiring citizenship like it's a membership to a new country club. Equating them in any way to the real struggles of people attempting to flee persecution is so wild to me, but I guess it's cool to do because we like George Clooney. He even says he can't speak French.

  • Wow, I didn't realize making a movie gave you rights over the entire concept of the ocean

  • What exactly is it saying? I understand his wife is a lebanese, but how are they materially any less safe in the US than they are in France? This really just sounds like wealthy liberals changing country clubs. I've only ever been to France as a tourist but they didn't seem any less prejudice there.

  • A rich man and wife feel safer in France than in the US. I don't necessarily care how safe the ultra-wealthy feel in any country

  • Every position except for 6, 7, 8, 10 and 11.

  • Understandable, though in the case of Steamlink, I just stopped using Steamlink. Though my thought process was, I'd rather get a $30 dock for my Steam Deck then switch to X11 but I'm stubborn ¯(ツ)

  • Man, I really don't understand what the issues with Wayland are. Granted, I'm new here and a pretty basic user so there's some underlying issue that seems to be breaking people's setups, I guess I just haven't encountered it. I went from using Mint for like a month before I switched to Arch. And I only did that because my second screen was acting goofy on Mint and I figured in for a penny in for a pound, let's see why people are so afraid of this distro and haven't had any serious issues in the past two years.

  • Good news

  • The last panel should read "the highest profits on record" /s

  • Well, it's hard to feel a lot of sympathy for them.

  • Bro what? I was referring to America(or anyone who forcibly takes control of an already self-governed region). Y'all are unhinged where am I criticizing the ccpr?

  • Are you talking to someone else? Because I didn't say anything about the Holocaust. I wasn't talking about the validity of anything.

    All I was trying to say was that because we can see what's happening in Palestine and in Sudan this fell out of most people's range of attention. What about that is anti-semitic? How am I even criticizing the ccpr? When did I call anything happening in China a genocide? Taking a comment about The new cycle in writing a rant accusing me of Holocaust denial is unhinged. Maybe step away from the keyboard and find a way to self-regulate.
