TL;DR: we’re taking over control of the country, and as long as nobody tries to stop us, it won’t be violent.

It’s like when a thief robs your house and claims it’s the homeowners fault for the violence, “if they didn’t try to stop us it would’ve been peaceful.”

What a crock of crap.

Oh, thanks! I didn’t notice :)

This statement assumes that the Presidential candidates have any intention of “serving the country” as far as I can remember, they’ve only been interested in serving themselves, and all benefits and consequences the county saw was purely a coincidental side effect.

Wow this is an actually interesting question. At first it kinda of seems ridiculous that a provider of age restricted content put the onus of said age verification onto a completed unrelated company. To say the manufacturers of devices capable of going online are the ones responsible for verifying the age of the user seems backwards, and a little unfair to the makers of the devices.

But on the other hand, they make a good point that if one company is collecting info on users to verify if they are legally old enough to view the content, and if they are required to get legal documentation to prove it, That could be a security concern. If the site collects that information from it’s users and their network gets compromised, the hacker obtains the legal documents of all of its users. However if you have your device get a certification of your age and be able to pass that cert to a site, and a hacker compromised your device, they would only get the information of that one user. In this way it would act like getting a drink wristband at a concert or large event. Instead of having to show your ID to a bunch of different people, you show it to one, and everyone else just sees that you’ve been verified of legal age without needing to see the actual ID.

On the other other hand, since personal devices are fully in the hands of the users, it would be pretty safe to assume that users will be able to trick the device into believing they are of legal age with relative ease, so it’s effectiveness might not be that great.

Idk man, this is kinda interesting.

Pretty similar to what’s going on with Twitter right now.

Well they’re right in one aspect, the rest of America has lost their minds for sure. The part they’re missing however, is that they themselves are also mindless.

In the end, nothing. I had a good solid 9 months of a job I loved, with decent enough pay. But then tanks to corporate execs laid off the entire IT team and outsourced it to a staffing company and reduced the size of the team from 100+ to about 8.

I’m still there because I still need the pay, but now it’s just like every other garbage corporate job out there. Miserable and soul sucking.

I think it’s a mindflyer parasite. If you hear it talking to you, make sure not to listen.

Man, I can’t wait until the day I don’t exist anymore. My existential crisis is that I’m currently forced into existing.

Any position in a corporation other than executive.

Yeah, but over $1k is less than $6K. So… Worth it?

Oh man, my friend bought that game and has been trying to get us to play it, but I had twins, and have not more time for board games. It looked fun though

When he wanted to remind us to turn off lights, he’d yell “save electrodes!”

When he was splitting wood with the “kabunger” (splitting maul) he’d yell “katabuungie!” When he swung.

When he’d drop wood on his toe he’d yell “GOTDAMMITSONOFABITCHGRAAH”

Idk man, I’ve never gotten married and it’s been fine for me. My girlfriend and I have been together for 14 years, have 2 kids, and our family is all that has kept me going through this shitty world. Never married though, so many there is some truth to the advice.
