I get what you’re saying, but it’s not a black and white situation. Drugs and porn are not the same category. One will have life-changing effects, the other usually won’t.
Plus, parents have the ability to mostly control a child’s access to inappropriate content, as well as tobacco shops.
It applies in the real world and the Internet on a case by case basis depending on the inherent dangers of the content.
Responsibility for access to adult content needs to fall to the parents of minors, not the companies. I’m so exhausted seeing parents responsibilities being shirked and placed onto other entities/people.
My son, 7, gets so upset with me and my wife because we are so unfair, because we don’t let him do/watch/play things his friends do. He’s 7, he doesn’t need to be playing Call of Duty, he doesn’t need to be watching inappropriate content, he doesn’t need access to TikTok, and so on. I’m forcing my kid to be alienated from his friends because the other parents are allowing children to access things they should not be accessing.
I’m getting all worked up on my soap box, sorry. That wasn’t necessary.
Funny the sponsor of this bill is the president and owner of a lawn and landscaping company. I imagine he’s probably mad he has to pay his workers fair wages and just wants more money in his pockets.
If a company hires you and you live 90 minutes from a job, that company damn well should pay for your trips. You can agree not to, and that’s fine, but workers should expect to be paid for long commutes which are work related.
I spent 3 hours on the road 5+ days a week for 8 years and never got a cent for it, and when my vehicles crapped out the companies didn’t give a crap.

Thanks for all the info, suggestions and tips. I’ll try to look further into this if my nervousness can f off a while
I live in a rural area and don’t have any nearby neighbors to ask. My wife has said that a lot of people have been complaining about it on Facebook though (locally)
Looks like the head of a character I make in a game while trying to see just how silly I can make them look
The only way to sustain an economy indefinitely is through equal trade of goods and services. Jim the carpenter fixes John the farmers roof, and John gives Jim food.
Any form of economy built on profit will crash. We do not have unlimited money or resources. We can substitute some services for money (as we clearly do,) but it’s the for profit part that destroys everything.
This is vastly oversimplifying things, but at the root of the matter, there’s only so many M&Ms in the bowl, and people getting greedy are taking the candy from people who haven’t even reached the bowl yet. Then those people with a surplus are trading their M&Ms for Skittles and marking them up for everyone else
There are other self-defense options as well. Lethal firearms could be entirely replaced by non-lethal. If you actually need it for defense, you can still defend yourself with it, but you’re going to have a hard time using it for murder now.
You could argue that this would increase the amount of defender deaths because they couldn’t neutralize the threat 100%, but it would drastically lower lethal firearm related crimes. Gotta weigh the options.
I’m all for self defense at a distance, I don’t want to have to risk a scuffle. If someone invades my home in the night, I don’t want to have to fight them. I want them stopped asap with as little force as possible for the safety of everyone, including the invader.
Japan should be thanking us! Look at how successful it is, now! So us bombing them has only been helpful.

I feel sick after that
These situations make me wonder what I can do to help these people out. Besides echoing my frustrations, there’s nothing I can do except vote, which clearly doesn’t matter anyway. Well, I’m not a local, either, but hypothetically…
It makes me want to become a vigilante but that’s a poor choice, not that I’m even capable.
This is by no means to compete but to add, I’m an autistic adult and I don’t feel welcome anywhere. Living in the bible belt
He would probably just pull a Comcast and rename the IRS to something catchier but more invasive to the lesser communities
I don’t even get that from Biden. He just seems so fake from the get-go.
(Next part is irrelevant and only opinion.) But I’d rather go into the ground by someone sneaky and quiet than by an arm-flailing maniac screaming and yelling as I get beaten down into the hole lol.
My son has had access to an iPhone 6s and iPad 2 since he was 1 or so (7 now). His devices have always been moderated to prevent him from seeing inappropriate content whether by accident or on purpose, and as he gets older I ease up on the restrictions. We have had little to no issue with him being attached to the devices, and my opinion is because he had mostly free reign over his usage barring bedtime. Even to this day he prefers to be outside playing.
I’m sure we’re all familiar with getting something we all wanted later in life than most people. We get super attached. I did get my son an Xbox one rather late (he had wanted one for at least a year before he got one), and he is attached to that. Because he spent a good amount of time dreaming and fantasizing about it.
My son is also high functioning autistic, (as am I), if that means anything. But this is my parenting style. Allow freedom within reasonable limits to promote individuality, unlike my parents. He sometimes watches the dumbest stuff on YouTube, but we all did and do. It’s not up to me to mold his sense of humor, I just make sure it’s appropriate for his age. Regardless if I think it’s dumb or not. I’m not 7 anymore.
