I'm asking my children every time, whether they consent to giving the Santa their list of actions. If they don't consent, they won't be receiving any gifts at all. It's that simple.
- eastbound 3y agoDo you consent to give your insurance the list of your actions? If you don’t, you won’t be receiving any damage indemnity at all. I suppose that was the metaphor ?
- mewpmewp2 3y agoMy main metaphor I guess is that I like to be annoying to my children, but I don't really have children yet, so I'm just looking forwards to annoying my children. It's just the most exciting part of potentially having children - having unlimited power and time to be able to troll them. And seeing how these great neural networks try to adapt to it. I will do my best to keep them guessing for sure.
- Yiin 3y agoI really hope you change your outlook on children development by the time you get to having them, unless you're talking about kids older than 7 y.o. If you really want to, you can make kids think whatever you want, that's why religious brainwashing is so effective.
- mewpmewp2 3y agoCould you please elaborate on what exactly you hope I change my outlook on.
- kroolik 3y agoTrolling, as it may make children not trust your words if what you say is consistently a lie/joke. The children may be also laughed at by their colleagues if they repeat your words at kindergarden/early school.
- mewpmewp2 3y agoIt is a fair point as people have told me before, but I will show this thread to my children as I get them and ask what is their opinion on the matter before choosing my final outlook as well.
- __s 3y agoMy father got a kick out of being like this - there are 1000s of recycling numbers - color was invented in the mid 20th century, "back in the black & white days" - giving random sounds to toys (trex goes neigh) - he told my sister he could fly. She believed it was happening for a moment when he slowly flapped his hands & went up on tippy toes - accidentally he explained to her a scifi short story where martian colonies seek indepence by collecting water from Saturn's rings. She wasn't corrected until she brought it up at school, where her real father was a bit annoyed about my father feeding her nonsense all the time Overall good upbringing & it's good to teach kid's not to be so gullible
- addandsubtract 3y agoThey better get a cookie for consenting to your terms.
- matsemann 3y agoThe consent should be informed and freely given. Not sure this holds if there's a threat of not receiving gifts!
- dist-epoch 3y agoGifts are a privilege, not a right, I can't threaten you by demanding $1000 from you for a Macbook. But you have a point in that a minor can't consent to a legal contract. And parent is clearly abusing his authority position, possibly with implied threats.
- matsemann 3y agoBut you can't say "in order to use this service you have to accept tracking". That's not a freely given consent, if the service would work fine without. But perhaps it's hard to santa to do his job without this data.
- 8note 3y agoSanta can't give personalized gifts without the data. $5 gift certificate to 7-11 is the standard gift for everyone without tracking
- asadalt 3y agoThere is no "Dont consent", there is only "More Options" that takes a few hours to load and then you get a page with many toggles.
- martin_a 3y agoDon't worry, none of Santas 478 partners who he shares your personal information with has any bad intentions.
- LouisSayers 3y agoI think if you've left cookies out for him, you've implicitly given consent
- account-5 3y agoI believe this is the real origin of the EU cookie consent banners.
