How is Meta acting anti competitive? I am not defending them, just actually curious. For Microsoft, Alphabet and Apple it makes sense because they control the platforms.

Yes, usually games with anti cheat, like Destiny 2. Although it’s way better nowadays, mostly thanks to Valve.

He probably means the people who riot, destroy cars, homes and businesses of average people.

Shooting them is wrong and this guy probably is a dickhead, yes, but a lot of normal, average citizens will agree to this.

Edit: To clarify, I mean that‘s how the right get‘s people on their side. Rioting will just result in more people agreeing with people like this guy, even if the message is absurd.

Some games even have payouts, like Counter Strike. I don‘t understand why it isn’t officially gambling too.

They can use your bank account for for example money laundering.

Edit: Or your identity to create new bank accounts of course.

Banning smartphones in schools is stupid, unless you have other alternatives like laptops (where you can block social media). The thing is, the internet is basically a huge library and kids learn how to solve problems on their own. I sometimes see 20-30 year olds who literally don‘t know how to use google and if they don’t know something, they don‘t know how to research it.

In Africa men with beards are just men without beards with beards.

You can just not use the service. Also, you know that you can’t trust the company and therefore you also don’t put any private data in there. It’s always helpful to read the privacy policy.

Damn I didn‘t even realize at first. Lmao

I always read the privacy policy.

Mate, maybe you should just go a therapist. That‘s their job, you don‘t need an AI for this.

Yea, but adding features increases profit, because more people will spend more time on your platform and maybe even subscribe to premium.

It‘s pissing me off, because Reddit invests more time into removing features, instead of adding new, highly requested ones.

I was using Apollo for years. When the change happened I thought „well, maybe it isn’t that bad“, used the official app for a few days and now I am here. And honestly, I am using Memmy now and it feels almost exactly like Apollo on Reddit.

I understand. I am not denying any of your problems, I just don‘t think that criminalizing it is a solution. It didn’t work in the past and it also won‘t work in the future.

No, but we have the Netherlands, where a lot of weed comes from (illegally but also some legally).

Brazil has one of the most strict anti drug laws in the world, isn’t that correct?

I am from Germany. We‘ll legalize weed soon.

And yes, drug usage certainly can affect other people, sorry about the confusion. My point was primarily about normal drug usage, not addicts. Criminalizing it certainly doesn‘t seem to help, every single country that tried this completely failed. On the other hand, countries that do the exact opposite seem to be pretty successful.

Edit: You just seem to ignore facts. It works in other countries. The war on drugs failed.

No, missing regulation led to the school shooting situation in the US. Just legalizing won‘t solve any issues, without any proper regulations.

Consuming drugs is your choice, it only affects your body, life and mind. Sexual assault and drugs can not even be remotely compared.

The drug market currently is completely unregulated. It‘s easier for a teenager to buy weed, than alcohol. If we make it legal, we can actually regulate it, like alcohol.

Can you tell me how it affects or even hurts anyone if someone is smoking weed at home? There is literally no point in making it illegal. What you can do is making it illegal to do certain things while under the influence of drugs, for example driving a car. And guess what, exactly this happens with alcohol too. But making the drug itself illegal is imo a bad idea.
