A lot of studies came out kinda at the same time showing how harmful it is and people aren’t coming up with alternatives. What else can you do?

Let’s take like 30 seconds and pretend America has all the same controls China has. All Americans are given a social credit score. Trump can decide any transgender sympathizers are unruly citizens, unworthy of a good score. They are banned

I don’t expect teenagers to do anything but largely be harmed by the internet.

See this is almost exactly what I’m concerned about. The ignorance to think that the US is “supporting Russia” (as if China bypassing embargoes for the exact same reason is somehow… better? Because you expected it and surprises are scarier

Unfortunately, this is incorrect. There has not been significantly increasing food insecurity since ~2004. This food aid problem was created incredibly recently, and is unlikely to have anything to do with the topic at hand at all. Please,

I suppose it could be easier to approach a relationship in which the other party is simply known to be an enemy, rather than an ally which might occasionally take a left turn.

This is making me wonder if there is a product that just... streams things well for you. I hate my Chromecasts, but it's the best solution I've found for what I want.

I think this is actually a very level-headed response. It would probably be good for this to scare the US into cleaning its act up a bit.

Let's not waste time pretending the US is doing something on the same level as what China is doing to the Uighyr. Imagine for a minute that Trump were a lot smarter, and also ran the supreme court and congress, and you'll basicall

I’ve been asking myself this question quite a bit lately. People seem to suddenly think China is a good alternative to the US hegemony status. I sincerely hope I’m just misreading things.

Yes, it’s dumb, and yes, that’s the topic of discussion here.

So... the solution is to ban speaking to your representatives to tell them how their actions will affect you? I dont get it. If you don't like the money aspect, take that out. It's not like it's inherently required for the ov

An insane overreaction?

by kulahan 4mo ago
Apologies - I was too quick in my response. I was speaking from a "how the users will perceive it" point of view. China's pretty good at the internet reputation thing.

How so? You'll soon have your choice of a very old OAI model or a new Chinese model, because the USG has no interest in letting you access the newest models without explicit permission.

There is no hard data showing that religion (which one? all of them? from learning the Tao to following the dude who said "Love thy Neighbor"?) is somehow harmful, but we have direct evidence showing this is harming children. Wh

Ok, so complain about PACs and super PACs. Who goes "Sandwiches are bad. The issue is that sandwiches lead to buffets and WEIGHT GAIN!!! BAN SANDWICHES!!!"

Out of curiosity, why not use a $10 steam link to achieve a similar effect to using a $700 gaming tablet?

This is such an annoying attitude. Who is against the concept of an industry being able to say “are you aware this will decimate the jobs of tens of thousands”? Catch phrases like this, I swear, are half the reason so many people have a min

Do… you think kids are accidentally finding porn, thinking it’s for them, and partaking? Why would any teen see a “mature” rating on a website and go elsewhere? This is the kind of response I expect a literal alien from another planet to ma

So if it were a genuine approach from an adult simply looking to protect children, what would it be? As I said at the beginning, I don’t think it’s a good solution, just the only one we have. Again, please incorporate the fact that childr

The mere existence of something dangerous is an irrelevant comparison unfortunately. We didn’t invent knives and then immediately see an entire generation get dumber. You’ll have the burden of needing to explain how any innocuous comparison

I am not sure I understand the simultaneous arguments that being a parent is very hard AND that parents should just do better and help isn’t needed AND this problem has been going on for over a hundred years (it hasn’t - this is the first t

I'm glad computers came in and saved you from your otherwise-inevitable life of cartel involvement, but I don't see what this has to do with the en-masse mental poisoning of children? I'm not even talking about politics yet

You need an ID to access cigarettes and liquor and porn (from a physical store)...

I can’t think of a better solution to the issue of children being so aggressively harmed by the internet. That doesn’t remove any of the problems associated with this.

Dead for me, as is the archive link.

Of course it’s an outrageous position. You’re ignoring the fact that there are pyramids on multiple continents and pretending someone is saying only the pyramids in Africa could’ve been built by aliens while the rest were not. It has absolu
