It doesn’t matter, his followers believe every word he says, everyone else sees it for the obvious lie it is. What an absolutely ludicrous time to live in.

As do many people, but there are plenty others who will see this as being punished for doing the right thing, and will be less inclined to do so going forward. Whereas if this was addressed properly, it would continue to incentivise people who need that nudge to keep doing the right thing, whilst also pushing those less inclined to do the same.

I guess what I’m getting at is, this is just a terrible way to address a legitimate problem. Which seems to be the way this government operate.

As you say, the government already has that information, so while people might not be happy about that, it does seem a semi-reasonable way of confirming age. But the current plan is the reverse of that, with the government asking companies to conform age using a third party, which not only will definitely be using it for advertising purposes, but is more likely to get hacked, and all the information make it into even worse hands.

The problem with a ban in response to poor parenting is that it just disincentivises both the parents and children who have been doing it right until now, because if they’ll lose access all the same then what was the point of doing otherwise until now. And what would be the point of doing it right in future.

Personally, I’m of the view that a blanket ban is simply not going to work, and comes with all the same problems of the online safety act, mostly that the government, or the companies they employ to verify ages, simply cannot be trusted with that information. If control needs to be implemented, it should be in having mandatory parental control options, but ultimately I believe it to be the job of the parents to utilise them, not the government.

They might as well just introduce an umbrella ‘won’t somebody please think of the children act’. They’re moving very quickly from porn to social media, and the slope is starting to feel real slippery.

Driving that golf cart all the way onto the green surely burns many calories.

I’d hazard that the absences can be pretty easily explained by the episodes of excessive drinking.

It really is incredible how much global influence both the US and UK have pissed away over the last decade or so.

Do you imagine this is a good way of addressing any addiction issues?

We all know the real bad guys are those dastardly PMCs of no specific nationality, who are also not aligned with any specific nationalities.

I’m not sure they’re the one misunderstanding.

You should be more careful you jizz cock! You could have had my legs off you piss kidney!

From the article, looks like Meija’s views on Israel are even stronger than Malinowski’s. So it’s even further against AIPIC’s interests for Meija to have won, but I assume they hasn’t considered that at the time of putting the attack ads out. But I may be wrong, the article doesn’t make it quite as clear as it maybe could.

He thinks he stopped 8 Wars PLUS!

Morals aside, I’m not sure on a practical level what felony they would be able to even try and argue the wife was committing here.

I’m sure I read some suggestion of charging her with felony murder; as in she committed a felony (anyone’s guess what that would even be) and as a result her wife got shot, which somehow makes it her fault.

And doing his own sound effects.

Why would anyone have to be a target‽

That might be an incident, but the article here is talking about an incident in the bathroom at the Texas state legislature.

But this didn’t take place in a planet fitness?
