I live in the Netherlands. No one I know owns a gun. Yet I have all the things you list in abundance. Added bonus: lack of school shootings and gun violence.

Your propaganda argument is nothing but you sticking your head in the sand. That, or you are a successful troll.

Also, who says vegans don’t support these ventures and call people murderers at the same time. We can have both.

Or just ask what stock is going to raise the hardest and ask when is the best moment to sell if you have 2 questions

Yeah and movies from the 90’s are companies now. And TIL porn ratings get tested on animals first.

So it’s literally to prevent 9 year olds going 50 on an e-bike. Seems fair to me.

I’d guess that’s sooner than needed and that means more waste

I’m sorry you are getting downvoted, because technically you are right. TikTok will never claim to aim at children or advertise as such because they know they can’t provide a safe environment and will open themselves up to lawsuits.

Sure, but the image says 10 mil.

Depending on how old you are there are so many investments that get you far over that 10 mil, but yes healthcare is a really valid point for taking the blue pill

You would not need the blue pill at that point. Just invest in Google and Microsoft and get some early bitcoin

You could also die tomorrow and the red pill could save you.

I don’t think trying to control is the best way of looking at it. There’s a hive mind about the fediverse that has a purpose, that wants to protect it as part of the identity of it. So a collective of instances banding together to keep that intact seems right up its alley.

Well if someone causes a dangerous situation, why not both?

Just ban them outright. What’s the point? You want to move things around, get a bus

Why? Who made the rules about exchanging data? And it is an exchange of data for a service, it’s just not as obvious as you might want it to be. But nothing comes for free.

Hey I’m not saying I like the big company ethic scathing that’s been going on around the world, but it is how our society currently works.

They are. They provide you with a service for your data. It’s called YouTube. And if they don’t have a place to show you ads, the data is useless because no one will use it. It’s a closed loop.

And even if you don’t agree with it, it’s still a company selling a service and it can do whatever it wants to earn money from it. There’s nothing unethical about that.

Hell yeah they should, I’m not disputing that, but there’s so many here pretending like it’s somehow unethical for Google to fight against ad blockers, and I am arguing that.

Google’s main source of income is ads across the board, so fighting adblockers is certainly in their best interest

That’s fair

So because they earn money somewhere else they should do something else for free? Why? What does Google owe us?

They only have the monopoly if we give it to them. I find their model fair, I use their service a lot. if they overprice me I’ll find another form of entertainment.

But you are right, people see YouTube as a necessity at this point. I’m trying to remind you, it’s not.
