@praxben As currently constructed it is not a yes or no question because you haven't defined "children" or "consent". Can a 5yo consent to me giving them a Cheeto? Can a 15yo consent to me giving them my penis?
America has great people, and an evil occupying regime. Like in Iran. We have to accept we have become like most other countries. The people arenโt in control.
@nsarwark@GeneSohoForum False. Jawboning is unconstitutional, and the president using his bully pulpit to call for censorship is jawboning. If he wants to call for censorship, the proper thing is to first resign and forfeit the political power that necessarily by implication supports any such calls.
Scientists fight misinformation by doing good science.
Tyrants fight misinformation by censoring in the name of science.
Pseudo-scientists fight misinformation by aiding the tyrants.
@GeneSohoForum@nsarwark If Joe Biden has any political power than doing even this much is considered jawboning and unconstitutional. Joe Biden could only do this once he's out of power.
Workers only generate the profits they agreed to receive in exchange for their labor. Collective bargaining is all good and well until they start attacking there labor competition.
Even if alarming climate change is real and caused by humans and could be corrected by us too (lots of if!), we're just going to have to suffer its consequences because the worst tyrants in history have made it their objective to use it to seize control they cannot be given.
Last night I called out @charliekirk11 for posting one of my videos without giving me credit. It wasnโt a huge deal but I am pretty sick of people stealing my work. Itโs every day. Every single day and yes, every video I make is watermarked. It does not stop them.
Iโve never interacted with Kirk before and donโt know him at all but I will say this.
He immediately DMโd me, apologized, and asked me what I wanted him to do regarding the post. I was asleep and then traveling and didnโt see his DM but he decided to delete his tweet anyway. And then he apologized again.
It may not seem like a big deal but Iโve gotten into it with at least 20 large conservative accounts that regularly steal my work and I canโt even get them to respond to me. These people MAKE MONEY off videos I create and wonโt even respond to a DM from me. Some of them BLOCK me and use burner accounts to record and sell my videos.
Shitty fucking people out there, left or right does not make a difference.
We square Charlie thanks. ๐๐
Turns out Meta was hiring dozens of former Twitter employees who had work phones & docs from the company so that they could create a Twitter clone this past few months
Now @elonmusk is getting ready to sue them for violating intellectual property & trade secrets laws
GOOD

If something doesn't sit right with you, doesn't make full sense, you should ask questions and demand answers. Especially if that something comes from the halls of power.
