the liquid glass is not as bad now and you can pretty much disable it if you want.

IT (heh) isn’t usually my type of horror either, but I was hopeful for Derry because I liked the recent movies after giving them a shot.

If you haven’t seen them, the recent movies are way better.

a persons wealth is not the value of their life. it’s just debt they have accumulated from others.

Anyone liking Derry? The last episode was okay now that they finally got into an actual plot but the entire rest of the season has been a slog peppered with nonsensical shock horror.

“small government” is just a dog whistle for “lower rich people taxes”.

and the TV is barely any bigger than the ultrawide anyway.

for those people who love listening to credits in their music.

Will not work. None of these kinds of bans has ever worked. Did everyone just forget that they got blackout drunk as minors who could not legally purchase alcohol? Are we under some misguided belief that age verification procedures in this manner can or ever have worked effectively to reduce harm on minors?

Minors may not be 100% alcohol free but that does not mean they consume the same amount with or without age restrictions.

Will actually make the internet less safe for teenagers, as they will now be lying about their age and circumventing the systems in place, which renders all existing protections for them ineffective.

maybe, let’s see how it works.

Is pointlessly age targeted legislation as social media is also bad for adults as well. Its bad because of business practices and lack of ethical considerations in gigantic monolithic international social media corporations.

that’s true for other age-gated things like alcohol and tobacco. there is legislation to protect adults as well as banning use for children.

Is this law parfect? Probably not, but I think it’s a reasonable starting point and at least they are trying something.

I don’t know if this is the answer but I’m glad someone is trying something. will be a good case study regardless.

OP was the one who asked why people don’t use Retroachievements.

who knows? introducing new life and new consciousnesses to the hive mind may need to ba handled in a specific way.

The aliens that spread it could themselves be hive, and they themselves could have been targeted by yet another species, and spreading it as part of their newfound need to procreate as a hive. It may not have originated where the signal was sent from.

yes i think that is the most likely scenario, but that doesn’t necessarily need to be an “opening salvo”. proliferation itself may be the only goal.

people who can only consent

that’s not striclty true. they do defend themselves from Carol after being hurt by her a few times, so they clearly have some limits.

They send a repeating code to a planet that converts virtually the entire population into extreme pacifism. And it makes them utterly complaint?

why not go the much more simple route and kill them all with a deadly virus?

There is no concept of childhood or child innocence anymore.

I don’t think we really know that fore sure. we have seen a few kids, but we don’t know much about how they are handled by the collective.

except for the fuckin fascists!

adding to his wank bank no doubt.
