Meta maintained throughout the brief trial that it had worked extensively over the years to make its platforms safer for its youngest users, pouring resources into testing and research, and building new features.

No, you’ve made it a pain in the ass process to delete a facebook account. I’ve counted, you have to go through almost 5 prompts to finally delete an account. It’s simpler on mobile, by about 2 extra steps shorter, but that indicates that no, you did not work extensively to make it safe if you can’t make deleting easier.

I’ll happily remind you that of that voterbase, there is 71+ million people.

That’s a lot of idiots to overcome.

Someone doesn’t know what the ‘?’ means.

Kids and Teens online is such a wormy issue. They’ll be everywhere, lying about their ages, lying about who they really are .etc They’re just problematic little liars at every turn, fucking things up for the rest of us, because their parents are stupid and garbage at handling them.

We wouldn’t have an issue with social media, with IDs, with chat room or even Discord servers if it weren’t for them. Fuck them, they don’t belong online. The internet should be for 18+ users. It’s clearly evident that teenagers and children in general, cannot handle anything online. And the only reason they sortof can now, is because of the lengths the laws and egregious moderation that consists of the sanitization of online content have gone to ‘protect’ them.

And here we are where it has come full circle to where, we’re seeing Master Chief on a freaking Playstation 5 cover case.

"YouTube said the hike will “allow us to continue to improve Premium and support the creators and artists you watch on YouTube.”

Bullshit, bullshit and more bullshit. They say that every single time they raise the prices. It’s the same dogshit excuse.

I think PeerTube should be for hobby purposes. I mean, here’s where I am coming from. I am from a period of the internet, where you were not meant to be e-famous. I still at times, believe this. Look at what happened when the idea of the tiniest bit of fame and success people allow to get to their heads when they realize that they can just make videos and profit off of them.

My high school. I just didn’t think I’d come out with a diploma and that my entire school ‘career’ had been nothing filled but setbacks and directionless days. Yet I somehow came through.

I didn’t think I’d make it past my 20s, because at the time, I was a very overweight teen that carried it over into their 20s. I’ve heard stories of people who’ve been overweight that’d never see lengthy lives because the burden of weight would be too much.

I actually maybe wouldn’t have minded two movies. Then again, I say it should’ve been one 3-hour long film and given the extended treatment the LOTR films got. It’d be one long, but eventful movie.

The question was meant to be broad.

I’m completely convinced that online moderators of all kinds, are by default, maliciously useless. I wouldn’t be shocked if the moderators on Lemmy and anywhere else, were formerly from or are from Reddit themselves based on how they behave to people. I’ve read modlogs where moderators actively insult people in the comments for why they’ve banned them.

Who are these pricks trying to impress? It radiates small-dick energy to unfathomable levels.

The subs to talk about social and personal life stuff are trolled so hard.

You’re not kidding. Like the atmosphere in those parts are very artificial and most of the time it is people just baiting. You can’t even vent about your workplace without being hampered by handfuls of people picking it apart and thinking you’re at fault.

Man, humans have fundamentally and irreversibly fucked up this planet. We burn coal, so we have that problem you mentioned. I learned recently how chemical companies have done decades of a poor job just dumping chemical waste wherever they want or developing things that does more harm than good at the planet’s expense.

Enjoy it while it’s here I guess.

I refuse to be homeless. I’ve always been telling myself that the day I become homeless and so many bills pile up, is the day I truly die. I’m pretty resourceful, but there’s not an awful lot that I can think of as there to do if I become homeless, other than become a petty criminal, but then I’d only be wasting time in jail and being treated like a nobody in the justice system.

Metaphorically speaking, but putting the boot down on the neck that is the form of my individuality. They both did a terrible job in preparing me for life. Their idea of readying you for life is going on tireless banters about themselves and maybe a couple lessons dropped in between. There’s just no recovery when parents just do not prepare for you for life, leaving you into a life full of struggle and improvision.

They jammed in a freaking elf and dwarf love interest angle somewhere in the movies.

In the entire Middle-Earth Legendarium, Elves and Dwarves were bitter rivals to eachother to the point where the idea of A elf and A dwarf would never work together in a conceivable fashion that constitutes a relationship to that extent. Legolas and Gimli I was okay with because they developed as functioning partners for the sake of the Fellowship when the call was heeded.

But what happened in the Hobbit, was once again a shining example as to how stupidly obsessed Hollywood is, with cramming romance into everything.

I think that alone is what really prevents me from being a watcher of tv shows, streaming or traditional. They want you to be addicts so that you’d binge-watch episodes, get into heated debates, worship the IP and eagerly await for anything related to it to be released.

Then when the show starts to die by the slightest, it’s like a crushing weight mentally as to how lead on you were about it all. It just flatout deceives you to have wasted so much time and investment into something you thought was genuine.

The only shows I maybe would consider giving chances to and have watched, were shows that just knew where they were going and eventually found a way to end.

Where also that nobody is allowed to be nuanced or central.

Things either are the best thing or the worst piece of shit ever. Being in the gray is a huge no.

A super weapon kept in cryo, only this time drifting indefinitely into space with very little chance of ever being found.

That really sounds very similar to what the later modern Doom games did to Doomguy. Where he was such a threat to demonkind they just, sealed him away or something and only summoned when in need.

Aww, couldn’t live with the consequences? Too bad…shouldn’t have done what you did.
