  • I think we should reframe the question.

    How can we protect adults from the harms of not being able to post meaningless bullshit anonymously to online anonymous strangers we never agree with without sacrificing everyones children’s mental stability?

    Maybe put childrens rights before adult rights. Adults had fun and got along fine without social media back before the 2000’s. I refuse to believe that we are no longer capable of that. Especially if it means kids get to to go back to using the internet as a resource for homework and playing outside and using their own imaginations. Adults too.




  • Thats crazy. Who woulda thunk that european governments going for a strategy of giving rich (pedophiles) people billions in subsidies to buy american teslas while not funding mass appeal utilitarian electric vehicles to be built in europe for the masses or even helping poor people buy bikes, would result in american teslas only being bought by rich people paid for by poor people, while the chinese destroy the entire industry by building affordable cars for the masses. At a time of increasing inequality. Im glad all those rich people got so much money to buy fancy cars though. They can be more green while fucking the rest of the population.



  • As an alternative to points being issued, offensive drivers should be given a bike with gps, and an ankle bracelet and they should have to complete at least 1 month of of cycling (not electric either). The bracelet and bike gps dont have same data… you get the fine. Bike gets stolen… you get the fine. Someone crashes into you and bike broken… you buy a new bike. You get bones broken and cant go to work, you buy a new bike and get the points. Just like real cyclists.
    Also using phone while driving, even stopped should be an instant ban. If you’re too fucking stupid to use bluetooth or voice assistant, you probably shouldn’t be driving a car.






  • Ok, so, you responded with anecdotal evidence to someone who said they think tablets are a failure, which I replied to with my own anecdotal evidence. At no point did I say I agree with tablets being a failure. I was just countering your anecdote with my own. You came back at me in a condescending manner. I’m allowed to post my personal observations without being treated like a stone age moron who has never heard of a surface or tablets. So I replied in kind.

    You can argue all you want, but thats not going to change the statement, my initial statement “I dont know anyone with a tablet, except for one”, which is all I said.

    Personally I think laptops are great for work, programming dealing with 200 emails, having 45 tabs open, and all bloody office apps across two screens at same time, but tablets, great with a cat on the lap on the sofa. Original marketing hype was that anything you can do on desktop you will be able to do on tablet. It’s just not true. And reality. They just smartphones with bigger screens. So from a certain pov, they can be considered a failure. Which in my world, is true.
