  • thats fair, but of course its not the kids who are buying them.Flip side is that kids are resourceful - given a dumbed down device that is only supposed to be able to do texting, it wouldn't be a month before every one of them was running custom firmware to connect to fully encrypted peer to peer social networks run by kids with audio alerts set at a frequency that adults can't hear and multiplayer games LOL.

  • I'm completely ignorant of "Gabb" phones. I'll have to investigate. Also, I should probably add that while I'm a parent my kids are now grown so my opinions on this are dated. They all have full fledged smartphones at this point... and jobs... and lives. LOL

  • as a parent, I would say what matters is geo-location and text to coordinate pick-up or plans. there is no need for younger kids to have a full fledged phone if one could be developed that serves those functions. I'm thinking 90s flip phones with GPS. It really sounds like a gold mine for some company to supply these limited devices given the market for them.

  • of course the bigger story here is that there is a LITE version of CNN on which uBlock and Privacy Badger find nothing to block!

  • Yeah I don't think I ever played it even once but I bought a bunch of packs back when. The instruction booklet that came with it had text that was so tiny I could barely read it even back then lol

  • Yes! I decided I needed this too lol

  • Middle Earth Collectible Card Game (MECCG) - I know I have a bunch of this card actually lol

  • and suddenly many people who have been wanting to start their own businesses, make that career move, or move to where the jobs are would finally feel secure enough to do so. I suspect this would boost the economy everywhere in ways it would be hard to predict.

  • The fact that nearly every scene in that video is a 2 second edit suggests that if these are really being used in a factory they are doing none of the things shown in the video IRL.

  • As the saying goes, "no gentleman was dressed without his sword"

  • Executive Orders are not Law. The President cannot make Law only the Congress makes Law. The President must "faithfully execute" the Law.

    Article I, Section 4, Clause 1:

    The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

  • "What is wrong with being a peacemaker?" When the bully punches you dont ask him what he wants just punch him back you pussy.

  • There's a reason the milk man used to deliver every day

  • but then you wouldn't know that Edge runs perfectly well on Linux too lol I use Edge every day on Linux without issue but only for work related stuff

  • You are 100% correct to worry about this, of course. That said, I don't see something more than 3.6M people (half the registered voters of Michigan to just pick that one state as an example) seeing themselves disenfranchised like in your scenario being silent about it and calmly waiting for the courts. I guess I'm saying the perpetrators of such a scheme would have more to worry about than just losing a court case.

    On a side note, its interesting that in Michigan it appears that as of today 41% of registered voters have already voted.https://www.michigan.gov/sos/elections/election-results-and-data/voter-participation-dashboard

  • Yes, good points. I posted the comment originally because it is alarming.
