Youre a fuckin loser haha

Thanks for the ID

Top one is pine, bottom one looks like oak?

Not even the same timber if so. Pine is softwood Oak is hardwood.

Then theyre too far gone

Get off your phone dude that shit does not help, if you posted this from a laptop then I have no response.

Added enoki mushrooms and did it in the pressure cooker like the original recipe. Holy moly this is good.

I agree with most of that, however the mentality for liability is the same as “well what was she wearing” victim blaming. The parents arent the perpetrators.

I agree that parental knowledge to properly moderate kids usage of the internet is an issue - a skill issue. But that doesnt mean its their fault the kids get addicted to these things and exploited. The ones who openly do not care are a different story, thats child neglent as far as I am concerned.

I agree age verification and ID checks are absolutely not the answer and trying to censor the internet is not the answer. I think the answer more likely lies in holding companies accountable. There are reasons standards exist in many industries - to protect the consumer. As far as I am aware no standards exist when dealing with social media platforms.

Apologies I had a technical difficulty and posted the same comment several times.

I guess in response to your last paragraph, the issue is the predatory nature of the attention addiction machines these companies make.

You could compare it to a child that got in to a van that had “free candy” written on the side. The door was open, if you assume someone was standing next to the van asking the kid to get in, that would be advertising. Now the kid gets abducted. Their “attention” is held hostage in the case of social media etc.

Now, would the parents have had to tell the kids to not get in to a van with free candy written on it for them to be able to report it to the police? Bad luck otherwise? Now what if every month a new van rocks up with more bells and whistles, its a different colour, its got flames down the side, whatever - the point is its different and cool and more appealing each time. More kids go missing. The “predators” have figured out what makes these kids tick and what makes them more likely to get in the van every time.

It’s a bit of an out there and confronting comparison but really, these companies are praying on your mental instead of your physical, which apparently is free game. They are still predators.

They know the harm their platforms cause, they suppress studies that report that harm, they cover it up, they fight tooth and nail and spend millions lobbying government to let them continue to do it.

Back on track sorry, schools are also responsible but you run in to the same issues once companies start targetting school kids like google did with chromebooks - the shittest PCs sold at a loss just so they could attempt to hook the younger generation in to their ecosystem of surveilance and advertising early.

Companies will NEVER protect the children. They will only ever protect shareholders, profits and their pedo CEOs.

Real change will only ever come from real (not sponsored) education, government legislation that isnt bullshit (I dont know what this would look like but ID checking isnt it) and holding the tech bros increasingly accountable for their fucked up apps.

We all did dumb shit as kids, but tech wasnt anywhere near what it is now.

These platforms need to be punished and held to account for the pervasive technology they have designed for profit, these things (FB, insta. Tiktok etc) shouldnt be able to exist in the first place in their current state. There were no guard rails put in place - just like the flood of AI, technology moves so much quicker than legislation can keep up and companys do really shitty things with that.

I believe it starts at a parenting level, but it’s much more difficult to manage these days compared to 20 years ago. Age verification bullshit is not the answer but parents need to be given some form of help againt these fuckers and their incredibly easy to access addiction machines.

Phenominal. Thank you very much, I know what ill be making this weekend.

Hit me with the recipe!

You could start by using the connection test on the mullvad website that checks for 3 different leaks.

VPN use is not illegal (yet).

Your ISP can still match your internet traffic to the act of torrenting - however they can not know what you are torrenting and the act of torrenting itself is not illegal.

Theoretically - using torrents to download free use material like you are going to do is 100% legal and above board. So what if you are choosing to use a VPN while doing it?

Throwing cigarette butts on the ground.

I mean people usually say this with a bit more decorum but ok.

And I get what you are trying to say but no ones asking a pregnant woman “PENIS OR VAGIYNA??”

So when the shit for brains nazi starts driving off at the end and actually does almost run over someone… Im assuming that someone had cause to unload a full clip through the windshield if they had a gun and get away with it, right? Right??

I would rather someone bring sweaty socks in to my house than dirt, microplastics, gum and literal shit on the bottom of their shoes.

We went from a shoes on / dont care to a shoes off / dont you fucking dare household when we had a kid and the difference is unfathomable.

It actually repulses me that I can walk around in houses people consider clean, with bare feet, and my soles turn black. Not to mention then dragging that in to bed with you.
