How do you think we should prevent children from being the victims of misogynistic online abuse or grooming or trafficking or whatever else the government says is the reason we all need to fork over our biometric data to Persona?

I don’t think you guys are looking at the bigger picture here. What beast this article is feeding.

This article starts off with a kid saying, “If you’re anything like my parents, you probably wouldn’t even understand most of the content that floods my social media, no matter how hard I try to avoid it.”

So is this kid going online despite being told not to? If so, then what’s the story here? This is like a kid saying “I snuck into a titty bar and you just won’t believe how many titties I saw!” If this is what’s going on, then no, the parents shouldn’t get in trouble. The kid disobeyed the parents.

But if the parents are handing this kid a wad of dollar bills and dropping them off at the titty bar, I think they should be held responsible. Maybe it’s not illegal to force a bunch of strippers to babysit your kid, but maybe it should be.

It’s not illegal but it should be and the parents should be the ones responsible. This article is a prime example of why it should be illegal.

Letting their kids go on the Internet. Get the brats out of here.

I don’t understand. Is she posting with her real name and photo? If so, her parents should be in jail. That’s mindless. There are billions of people online and millions of them are going to be unhinged assholes and lunatics. WTF!

Why is the cartel burning random cars, buildings, and businesses? Are they like rioting? Or do they have something against the particular owners of these things or is there a coherent strategy?

The article says that the burning cars are for a blockade. Are they pulling people out of cars and setting them on fire? What about the buildings and the Costco? What kind of blockade does that form?

One of the authors, Prof Ashley Gearhardt of the University of Michigan, a clinical psychologist specialising in addiction, said her patients made the same links: “They would say, ‘I feel addicted to this stuff, I crave it – I used to smoke cigarettes [and] now I have the same habit but it’s with soda and doughnuts. I know it’s killing me; I want to quit, but I can’t.’”

Sometimes I wish there was a devastating famine, and 100 of millions of us would starve to death so we’d have to start using the old definition of “kill” again, and appreciate the futuristic utopian we once had. We need to stop scrutinizing the actuary tables for hidden horrors, look up, look around, eat a cheeseburger, have an after meal cigarette and relish the wonderous paradise in which we all live.
