No doubt. But marketing is by design a corporate exercise. Non-profits would need to be convinced to prioritize and pay for messaging over whatever function they were established to serve.

Have you met marketing people? I mean, they’re nice enough, but it’s not exactly a passionate calling.

Bonnie Biggs! Welcome back!

And kudos to the vet, that can’t have been cheap.

Now just relax . . and let the hooks do their work.

Is this a . . . What day is this?

You’re welcome! 😄

Dag, yo. Doin’ Harry Dirty like that.

I think people need to know this, but then they’ll state the most ignorant, ridiculous thing possible about what their phone just “did”, and I marvel that anyone is able to get a single thing done, ever, without help.

Damn

Doomscroll or just do the fun things.

well, and this guy may do that, but I think he’s calling out all the millions of parents who don’t know how to do that. You’re talking about a vast swath of the population that has literally no idea what any of their passwords are. Or what to do when they don’t work.

I’m sure it’s crazy difficult to raise a son today anyway, but “if everybody jumped off a bridge” is always true.

It’s not even that.

There’s enough complexity around just one component to prevent what should be obvious.

What I know is this. My son just wants to play video games and talk to his friends. I just want to keep him safe. Somewhere between those two things, I’m supposed to become an expert in the convoluted parental control schemes of Gabb, Nintendo, Microsoft, and Xbox, while a stranger’s Christmas morning texts sit in my son’s phone history.

He can do both, just not at the same time. Or, bring back the LAN party. Those are the choices. Otherwise, yeah skeezy predators and nazi porn await. As if it wasn’t super obvious.

This guy, who is clearly more savvy than your average bear, is just discovering all the marketing hype about protecting children is bullshit. Wait til he finds out about protecting the earth.

Yeah, exactly.

There’s never been any reason to get to this point. That it’s all been voluntary is just the most egregious abandonment of logic and parenting.

But hey - no one who’s in the swamp will ever get out.

Fair, but corn has a use. (Also not one I agree with but you get my meaning.)

“This idea that the lower cost of renewables alone will drive decarbonisation – it’s not enough,” said Daly. “Because if there’s a huge source of energy demand that wants to grow, it will land on these stranded fossil fuel assets.”

There’s also a huge issue around water use which isn’t mentioned in the article.

You misspelled “the awesome sport of kings” baseball.

I feel distinkly attacked
