Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone.

Also, I refuse to use Donald's last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

  • The FCC decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the US.

  • Yup, they followed up with a Super Bowl ad to that effect, and the negative response was so strong that Ring/Amazon immediately walked it back.

  • Yup.

    And they probably did ruin their Macbook, since Macs are designed to be irreparable on purpose and a ding like that may have affected screen functionality significantly.

  • they want all of that “spying on their own people” power for themselves.

    My assumption as well, after after the video release in the Guthrie case, we know objectively that every device with a microphone or camera and a wireless connection is spying on us and feeding the data to the US government without a warrant too.

    But that's okay. Thank you for the reply. I hope you a nice day.

  • They already have all of that.

    They did when you adopted smart phone and smart home technology, same with everyone else. They have it for most people because most people knowingly use corporate social media sites like TikTok, Facebook. Twitter/X, Bluesky, Threads, Instagram, and the like, and those are collecting data too.

    We know this objectively because the FBI just released footage in the Guthrie case that shouldn't exist, and definitely shouldn't be hanging out in a government database either.

    You're not protecting yourself or anyone by allowing these systems to access kids without any regulation whatsoever. I appreciate that it makes you feel good to think that you are, though.

  • That is factually incorrect.

    It was exposed in 2014 that FB was running experiments on its users by tinkering with their news feeds, so culturally, conversations around this have been happening for at least twelve years, and tech addiction has been a known problem for at least a decade. These products are designed to be addictive, induce mental illness, and foment rage bait because it keeps eyes glued to ads, and the corporate media providers know this.

    Now, we live in a world where it's causing widespread mental illness in young people, because its effects are more pronounced in developing brains. This is a public health issue, and it's not going to be solved with whoo whoo solutions like expecting parents to actually parent, because we can see from the last 5-10 years that this 'solution' is ineffective.

    Regulation is necessary, whether it's ID verification, or banning cell phone sales to kids, or even limited solutions like disallowing cell phone use in schools.

  • When education and talking with kids actually seems to be accomplishing something, I'll agree that it's a good solution.

    We're talking about ID verification because everything listed in the first part of this meme has failed (including, most importantly, depending on parental oversight) and we're now at a point where the consequences require immediate regulation.

  • Factually incorrect, judging by the fact that not only has Donald lost basically every election in 2025 and 2026, but the majority of those elections he's lost were in districts he won by double digits in 2024, both red and blue states.

    Americans are so pissed off about the child rape that Republicans can't even gerrymander anymore, because they can't accurately predict where they have voter support.

    And, everyone on this thread just pretending the meme is true, perhaps think through it a little before responding.
