when i was a kid in computer lab we were constantly told that we should NEVER give out personal information online, not even our first names. now, in 2026, the government is telling us we should submit our government ID's to download angry birds
"Parents should be able to control their kid's online experiences!"
THEY ALREADY CAN!! THEY ALREADY FREAKING CAN!! THEY CAN DO THIS RIGHT THE FRICK NOW!!
WE DON'T NEED TO VIOLATE OUR 1ST AND 4TH TO ACHIEVE CHILD SAFETY!! PARENTS JUST NEED TO DO THEIR JOBBBBBB!!!!!
This is a Trojan horse that will eliminate privacy on the internet.
Why not make devices just for kids if you want to protect them? Why KYC every single person on the internet?
Because this is about control, not children.
The KIDS Act violates our 1st and 4th Amendment rights, censors the internet for the party in charge to eliminate speech they don't like, and allows them to trace the speech directly back to people instead of being anonymous, because you'd have to scan your ID to gain access.
"Air conditioning uses too much electricity and that causes climate change. Instead, let's bring out a bunch of diesel-powered trucks to spray water at the peasants and increase the local humidity. That'll keep a few of them happy for an hour or two."
That's 100.4° in American
Medically stupid and unsafe
There is a reason why operating rooms are kept at 68°F
They are literally killing people with this aversion to air conditioning
80 yıl boyunca her yıl 120 gün ve günde 24 saat 12.000 btu bir klimayı çalıştırırsanız ömrünüz boyunca doğaya yaptığınız co2 salınımı 100 ton olacaktır.
bir süperyat haftada 109 ton
bir özel jet yılda 810 ton
co2 salınımı yapar.
yani ömrünüz boyunca yazları terleyerek geçirirken bir milyardar sadece bir haftada sizin ömrünüz boyunca kaçındığınız zararı doğaya verebiliyor.
“We’ll just adapt and use more fossil fuels to keep cool”.
No. We won’t. The fish won’t. The crops won’t. The trees won’t. The livestock won’t. The rivers won’t.
Nothing can adapt to a climate that gets continuously worse.
The defense for Flock Cameras, etc, is simple: “You’re in public, so you have no right to privacy.” But have you considered the endgame of that logic?
If privacy stops at your doorstep, then it is perfectly legal for a police AI drone to meet you at your driveway, follow you everywhere, and record every interaction you have all day long. Every single person, followed by a machine, every single day.
If that physical reality makes your skin crawl, then you cannot defend the digital version. An AI camera grid on the streets is just a robot cop following you that you’ve been told to ignore.
Trans people told yall this obsession with bathrooms would harm cis people as well. They told yall gendered bathrooms don’t work for a lot of people, and this is a prime example.
Unless cis folks start fighting back against bigoted cowards like this old fuck we deserve it too.
that’s the question isn’t it. what WILL she do? there are no youth clubs for her to attend. food, cinema tickets, any sort of third space activity is all too expensive. their parents are underpaid, saturday jobs don’t exist any more, children have truly been abandoned by the govt
Being part of a generation that was told “Wikipedia is not a source” makes it genuinely baffling to me that jobs are now telling people to just use ChatGPT for everything.
i like how their first instinct is "it’s fake food" and not "it’s poor quality produce that wasn’t conserved properly in the supply chain" so now instead of advocating for better food regulations they just spat out conspiracy theories online
