@OrwellNGoode The child loved [X], he spent 5 years working on it until his father decided his time, effort and the childs own opinion on the matter were entirely worthless, and destroyed [X] without any consideration to his son.
It's clearly not just about [X].
@dr_musgrave Good parents would keep them off the devices.
The state has assumed all parents are shit and needs to do their job for them, while also expanding its reach into your private life to dictate what you see and say.
@Macho_Grande1 "We use all the parental controls available to ... restrict and limit how our kids use social media."
So... why not just ban your own kids from social media?
They're doing this for digital ID, they want a surveillance state. You're just the excuse.
@CameronJMClark@HistoryLegends_ The irony here is that it was based on a true story, roughly. The original tank was actually named "In the Mood", led by "War Daddy" one of the most successful tank commanders of WW2.
Problem is reality wasn't quite movie shaped.
@philthatremains Feeling depressed?
Go hunting with the boys, imagine your game is "depression", shoot the "depression", then clean, cook and eat the "depression".
This is how you deal with depression.
@criticalhitsTV@georgecursor Buffy was a different category.
Show wasn't about her getting power but learning how to use it and live with the responsibilities it demanded.
Compare with spiderman, spider-bite instantly gives him the full package, the narrative is what he does with it.
@georgecursor There are also implications.
If she was always more talented, right up until she met the hero... why was she slacking off while he did the hard work?
Great power comes with great responsibility.
If you always had the power, you shirked your responsibility.
@TopherField They're clearly reaching for someone in the party with the appearance of a spine, and they're coming up short.
They need to lose harder next election. Flush out the machinery, kill the factionalism, cut out the left-wing rot.
@Prototype27F Yep.
The chinese army has zero actual combat experience at this point.
A million rookies led by officers as new to real war as they are.
If they move on Taiwan it'll be like re-enacting D-day with modern tech. Horrifying, drones in the landing craft before they ever hit shore.
@Kingbingo_ Ah, classic Irish behaviour.
I'm sure we all expect this to be your average Irishman and not someone more "colourful."
The problem will be, as per the government, the amorphous, abstract and non-specific idea of "hate", and not the F'er holding the knife.
@TopherField They're a corporation, they've got copy to sell, women's suffering sells better than men's.
Women and men care for women.
Some men care for other men.
@owenjonesjourno She is a living argument against women having absolute autonomy over themselves.
I didn't think there was a line here, but she's doing burnouts over it.
@thepalehundreds You can't be a collaborator if you start a lynch mob to punish the collaborators.
You couldn't fight the enemy, but you can abuse women and act like a hero.
@firasmodad The american picture is somewhat dull, as much as some pundits try to paint it as a crisis, it's a huge economy that can take a lot more pain than you imply.
Examine the Iranian FX reserves next, what happens when they can't buy loyalty with a hard currency?
