God hate this argument. The bar isn’t “no illegal activity” and you know it.

This argument particularly doesn’t hold water because you can’t even spend most cryptos on a daily basis for “normal” things if you tried.

There are so many useful tools for parents to take care of this. Those who do not feel comfortable need to become informed. Imagine if every parent who didn’t like the idea of teenagers driving a car refused to teach their kids how to live around cars and streets.

Parenting is a lot of work, but that’s the game folks. Prohibition culture doesn’t work and the government can only do so much. At some point you have to step in and be a parent, because the Internet is part of our lives for better or for worse. The best you can do is teach your kids how to navigate responsibly, protect themselves, and come to you when they don’t understand something/see something potentially traumatic. Because they will lol.

While still punishing larger families that absolutely need the space. I'm not against the concept generally speaking but we need to consider those kinds of ramifications. Low income families can be large too, afterall. Not even talking about with kids - many families have the grandparents/cousins/etc. around as well.

Boomer shooter is a real genre that has defined qualities. If you did even a cursory Google search you would see that.

Just because something doesn’t make sense to you at face value doesn’t mean it’s arbitrary/makes the term toothless. You’re just uninformed.

Most “general strikes” have been abject failures. Real change is slow, deliberate, and not sexy. Typically local. People have this romantic view of strikes, in particular general strikes, when the reality it’s smaller, more difficult, and a long road. See: Harlan County, USA.

You don’t flip Starbucks over night. You take over store by store.

Edit; I don’t know how I read this as strike when clearly it’s a boycott lol ignore me

Sideloading isn’t a ticket-able offense. It’s just a name for a thing we are all within our rights to do. That’s not really comparable.

Now “jailbreaking” is a term I definitely take issue with as the language straight up makes people question the legality.

If we want wider adoption and tout interoperability than we need to allow some other platforms to integrate in some ways. I do agree though it makes me a bit anxious, but I also think it would be silly for email clients to bar gmail accounts from interacting with them.

We need to stop calling them incels because the entire language of that world is poison.

They’re entitled, lonely, and often have clinical depression.

Then you can not act on it and those of us who care about such things can. Does that bother you?

Man I just found the writing and overall humor so unbelievably ham fisted/try hard. I like over the top satire but it felt incredibly one-note. I lost interest after about 5hrs or so

They made a choice to use a space typically reserved for POC and trans people.

I wouldn’t say it’s so much controversial as it is hard to prove. It’s a valid theory just not very easy to quantify.

Look, I want to agree with you, but how long have we had to suffer boomers telling younger generations that literally everything they do is wrong/they are so entitled despite the fact that they were allegedly the ones who taught us everything we know? Now suddenly when we punch back everyone realizes the limitations of making generalizations based on generations?

I can even stomach that. But remember they literally called their parents “the greatest generation” because they bombed Germany/Italy/Japan into submission. They worship people who killed other people. I get it was a “just war” but think for a second about how in the 20th century the LITERALLY GREATEST PEOPLE EVER according to boomers were warriors. It tells you something about American cultural values in particular.

Your comment contains many reasons why a community might not feel very welcoming to you.

Boys date girls.

Men date women.

Men should not date girls.

Women should not date boys.

Edit: heteronormative description. Obviously the combinations are more varied than that.
