@Kiffie8@craigh_@a_big_chad I don't think social media and shooting are correlated. The first is 500 or so school shootings happened before Myspace was launched.
This might be controversial to say, but, if we have a problem with shootings ... it's probably the guns 😬
@tony_pieta@alexzeig@tobi So you toggle off the lock in your app when you go to make a purchase? Or are you saying you physically lock them in some sort of safe?
@Vertzy24@BowTiedRanger Gas doesn't just shoot itself out of wooden doors. Nearly every person that's died of carbon monoxide poisoning had wooden doors. This is the dumbest shit I've ever heard
Everyone’s argument for Elon being a trillionaire is that he invented x, y and z but it’s like…he just owned the company with the non-trillionaire individuals who invented those things
@DrNeilStone If you want peace, it has to be on a foundation of trust.
What other options do we have for containing their nuclear abilities? Eradicate them?

@noinconsistency It's like Trump. Everyone blames him when it's really our fault for giving the president that much power in the first place.
When the data leaks, they'll just blame Keir Starmer and keep it moving
@occamsriver@justalexoki It won't make a difference
Criminals all think they're gonna get away with it.
You could execute jaywalkers and you'd still have just as many jaywalkers.
@Novice201@linmeitalks You had me in the first half.
Crime is way down compared to when we were kids. I don't think crime is a factor in kids on screens at all.
Maybe parents reactions to propagandized fear of crime, but, not actual crime itself.
@tony_pieta@alexzeig@tobi No parent allows that, kids steal shit.
Kids don't have funds, tend to hate capitalism, and their crimes get erased at 18. It's all benefit and near zero repercussions for theft and forgery
