  • I think the government should stay out of peoples pants. The issue isn’t the pornography, it’s that children are allowed on the Internet whether there is pornography. More of a parenting and society issue than it is a pornography issue.

    I think the larger issue is the fact that kids are given cell phones and laptops and unrestricted access to the Internet at a young age. The problem isn’t what’s on the Internet it’s that you don’t want kids to have access to it. There are other more effective ways at dealing with the problem rather than censorship for everyone.

    Maybe a better way to handle these issues is giving minors only access to online libraries and curated educational content until they are 18 or considered an adult. Then you can make your social media profiles and access adult content.



  • I get that we need some regulation, what I’m saying is these regulations create an environment where we’re spending a lot of money and wasting resources that could be spent elsewhere.

    Let’s say you had a settlement for $250,000 as proposed in one of the regulations. What is the family actually see from that payout? What’s $250,000 to a corporation that’s worth billions upon billions of dollars? Of that settlement how much of it goes to lawyers? How much resources do the state courts expand on seeing each one of those cases? How much time does it take before the victim sees any of those funds from the payout?

    Let’s say kid is traumatized and needs therapy and the parents can’t afford it. Does that mean they’re gonna have to wait six months for the courts to decide? Are the parents expected to pay for therapy out of pocket and hope they get reimbursed later?

    The real question is what happens to the victim and how do they benefit from going through all of the bureaucracy and courts to get any sort of settlement?

    Just because there’s some new government regulations doesn’t mean it actually addresses the underlying problem. It just creates several new problems.








  • Typical. So basically, they’re gonna turn America into Texas. Their power grid is famously shitty and has been neglected for decades due to Republican control of the government. They are constantly kicking the can down the road for some other administration to deal with it.

    Everyone time there’s even a slight dusting of snow anywhere in Texas the power grid shuts off and people freeze to death. But Texas refuses to fix the power grid and nationalize because it would mean investing and bringing their shitty substandard power grid up to modern standards.


  • The convenience is being able to sit your fat ass on the couch and yell vaguely in the direction of a smart assistant to turn off the lights without having to get off the couch.

    The idea that a smart refrigerator could tell you when you’re about out of milk or coming up on the expiration date instead of having to open your fridge and take a look is cool but the privacy and other implications outweigh the benefits.

    It’s a mild convenience that supposedly frees up extra time to do something else. The sad part is that something else is usually staying glued to your phone, social media, or TV.
