Omfg. What a trash article. Great examples of the spin the politicians are trying on, of tiktok. because people can use it to unite against an unjust system and that made them scared and therefore launch a negative campaign and force a take over of the whole app. I mean, come on!! Such a bad article.

There’s more misinformation on fb. Marky Z, when asked why he let’s all a that just spread around, said, he thinks people can just tell stuff is lies by looking at it. He knows that isn’t true.

Yeah! She didn’t get very far with it. They kept running her around in circles. If we’re talking about the same one… I mean that’s probably gotta happen a lot, really.

The capitalism model doesn’t allow room for morals, so literally anything we want done morally or ethically has to be regulated.

Omfg. It put up an anti Vax post about eradicating autism. Holy fk.

Or fend off the ablism of trying to eradicate autism, instead of just forming a more inclusive world.

Imagine a world more inclusive, for them, first, then ask that question. Imagine if the world could be made more comfortable and less traumatic and painful, for them. And there are some who are of that category that do just fine. So do we force them to change too?

It’s really not cool, man.

Literally everything he said rebuked that last sentence.

Cool to know! What I’m wondering, though, is what changes the government are making, specifically. Why do they think it’s bad, and what are they changing.

Yeah, I wonder what they’re actually doing. Are they making it safer, or just shitty they aren’t taking a cut, and changing it so they can skim off the top.

(with well placed dollars, to the politicians, supposed to set those regulations, “just weaken this corner here, bud, here’s a small percentage of the profits we will make if you do that”)

That is exactly what he’s saying.

They talk about this as if it’s mysterious. Not actually the fact that the working world is still based on one parent works and the other stays at home (offering their life in sacrifice to the system and providing the next generation for free, but I digress) but both parents HAVE to work to survive because the cost of living is through the roof. Child care costs too much, almost entirely wiping out one parents wage. And they could choose to offer incentives or address the reasons for the low birth rate, they know the reasons. But no, fear, criminalisation, those work better, as tools, to keep the chattel in line.

It will never be enough. That’s the model of capitalism.

I don’t! I don’t know if I hadn’t heard of it, or just considered it utterly unworthy of committing to memory, either could be true.

Oh man, ta!! You’re the best! I really need to brush up on my sailing skills. I’ve let them rust.

True. Backed us into a corner of no escape.

Google is just as bad, trying to do the right thing and support the movies we love, and now Google has locked all my movies so only I can watch them. I can still load them on the telly in the lounge, but I specifically bought them to be shared amongst my kids, who now can’t see them. They make it impossible to follow their rules. It’s become impossible to buy digital. I’m tempted to go apple and try Apple store, for all my purchases. I just want it all in one place and to actually own what I purchase. They’re talking out both sides of their mouth. On one hand they lambast you for taking a copy of something, but if you buy a copy they can take it away at any time and you don’t own it. There is no contract where money is traded for a product.

Thanks man, that’s a real kindness, belaying my worries. Just to relieve your stress, I wasn’t being serious. I just find it funny in a dark humour, but the good kind, kinda way. You’re good people.

I like your take, now that you say that I can really see their master plan! Subterfuge! How did I not see it before. I think I even had that one on my bingo card! Might win yet!
