I grew up in the 80s, when we had these huge high profile congressional debates over everything from Mortal Kombat to Twisted Sister. It still stuns me to see modern game platforms become everything the hysterical Satanic Panic folks warned us about. But now that it really is a hothouse for scamming, grooming, and extremism, nobody seems to fucking care.

Nobody should be letting their kids play Roblox. This is probably the best thing the Russian Parliament has done since Yeltsin ordered tanks to shell it.

I remember back during the NFT hype cycle how people were claiming they’d patented particular shades of color and were selling rights to them on the blockchain.

I gotta wonder who even enforces this shit. Where do you go to register a font-type you claim you own that looks shockingly similar to a font people have been using since the printing press was invented? So much of this just feels like vexatious litigation. “Ah, yes, that’s actually my ‘a’ and you need to pay me $20k to use it”.

Hey! Sometimes it mostly works, and that’s all I can reasonably ask for anymore.

Every Silicon Valley company has to deal with this on a weekly basis.

over half of my fellow Americans are morons who overrode my vote

“How about we try voting”

“This doesn’t count, I voted but then other people voted the opposite way”

Oh yeah. Famously, all the fascism in America stopped existing on January 6th, 2021.

Well, how about we just try it first

Nobody in the United States has ever tried to vote against a fascist dictator?

instant armed combat

Who do you think is actually organized an armed uprising against Trump? How do you think they’re doing it “instantly”?

Nor does it cut into the corporate revenues. They get paid for the ads either way. The odds of you clicking an ad (presumably) go down, though, so the click-through revenue the company would hypothetically get if you clicked on ads will be theoretically diminished assuming you believe the big tech companies aren’t lying about that data to their advertisers as well.

Listen, I’m sure there’s a very good reason why we have radically different policies towards Afghani Muslims and Uyghur Muslims, despite the fact they share a border and a litany of cultural practices.

The anti-natalist folks and the pro-natalist folks are clearly in some kind of competition to produce the shittiest ideology imaginable.

Congrats for putting points on your side of the board.

Asking my TikTok nephew for a loan to cover rent this month and I have to listen to him rap at me for ten minutes before handing over the cash in crypto.

What?

you are actively defending North Korea

If this was any other county, you wouldn’t consider it an insult.

Why do you feel the need to hate a foreign people this much? They have no impact on you whatsoever.

It’s up to the authors how they want to license it.

Plus or minus some amount of piracy, sure

I mean, look what happened with TCP/IP.

A fucking disaster for humanity on a global scale

you think I’m defending the genocidal losers

If the shoe fits

15% of russian GDP has already been seized
