They? We treat it as a toy. All of us. And it’s all because the system is designed that way. Don’t go blaming the young adults, the teens; and the children for something you might also be doing.
Narcissism won’t get you anywhere - our internet is capitalised by corporations and you’re blaming that are trying to do something about it. To raise some awareness.

I see you never downloaded a car before.
- Comment on EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you 1 week ago:
There always seems to be some kind of corruption amongst the governing class. And even if the government is technically guided by the people, this dynamic gets ultimately manipulated to further their authoritarian tyranny.
- Comment on Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions 1 week ago:
Agreed, it is tiring to type about:profiles each time, and then it auto corrects it to about:profiling instead.
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 1 week ago:
Big gov and big corp are essentially the same thing. And while the people jump ship to be at the mercy of the “better side”, the elites are sharing a cocktail in secret.
The scale still remains, however one side tilted more so than the other.
- Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last? 2 weeks ago:
There is a good video that explains this kind of phenomenon. First it starts with a political 1D left-right line then ends with a political tesseract.
Important thing is, it is better off to treat it as a spectrum rather than a graph. Because, as implied - complexity.

before they’re able to think for themselves.
Kind of naive to think they don’t think for themselves. Why do you think governments want to ban minors from using most common services, to restrict them and banish all their rights?
All it matters is that the bourgeois can more easily craft a perfect populace using “official” channels.
- Comment on Discord customer service data breach leaks user info and scanned photo IDs 2 weeks ago:
At this point it’s stupid to make sense of how this shit law does good to children and society. All the government is doing is disrespecting children and teens into absolute control - minors are essentially a tool, nothing more.

Once I was doubting the need for higher levels of mathematics. Now as an engineer I realize the utility of this knowledge.
What made my change my mind? Well it’s definitely not my intelligence nor my age, it’s the practical application of that theory which got me here. Reading in between the lines can only happen if you like what you’re doing.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 2 weeks ago:
It is a solution specifically designed for music. Library representation is much more predictable and it’s interface feels very efficient and clean.
It essentially does what you expect from a music streaming service.

Same but with Navidrome. Found it much better than Jellyfin.

Don’t blame them, when the average interaction on news sites is completely unwelcoming.
- Comment on How do I keep a 9 year old from constantly licking erasers and putting them in his mouth 3 weeks ago:
Agreed, putting something repulsive is the key here. This kind of strategy is used for nail biters as well.
- Comment on Australia’s under 16s social media ban could extend to Reddit, Twitch, Kick, Roblox, Steam, GitHub, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Discord and even dating apps 3 weeks ago:
And there we have it, a manipulative government that grins at the fact that we all let this oppression to go through.
This is all a result of our naivety, we let our age discrimination to prosper, and now we’re going to be left with big brother watching our every move.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Bans of any sort will and always will be acts of censorship and oppression no matter what age a participant is. It is purely discriminatory and inconsiderate with no actual effort given on the well-being or safety of targeted individuals.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Agreed, we are basically being played by the elites to agree to their authoritarian control.
It always starts with discrimination. In this case it is age that is weaponised against us, with no respect to anyone.
Society is already deep in ageism so no wonder they are using that as a pivoting point - infantilizing our people and ultimately stripping all their rights. Ageism cannot continue.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
For an ageist egocentric asshole you sure are acting worse than those under 16s you’re describing.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 3 weeks ago:
so what you’re saying is that this is ageism. And we are infantilizing individuals irrespective of their experience and actual understanding.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 3 weeks ago:
Also the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 3 weeks ago:
Ageism, it is always implied that adults are the ones right - because what adult would accept a child to disprove their logic?
It’s also one of those myths which people forget after a year; and even if its encountered again, it is treated as insignificant.
- Comment on Can't argue that. 4 weeks ago:
For a fact, until it isn’t for a fact. Unfortunately things may change like how majority of physics was disproven in the early 1900

Not surprising. This country is basically a clown show, and he helped build it.
- Comment on The right to anonymity is powerful, and America is destroying it 4 weeks ago:
So even with those methods do you think they will use the age checking ethically? This isn’t a problem with privacy, but also with discrimination. Ageism is what’s going to occur.
- Comment on The right to anonymity is powerful, and America is destroying it 4 weeks ago:
We are played like fools, our tyrannical governments are treating us like dogs on a leash - slowly stripped off our dignity and self respect, and to what extent?
The vision of our future is a police state, a complete control of the populace like the slaves we are. This age weaponisation should’ve been a clear indication, something totally unjust and ageist is completely inexcusable.
- Comment on The right to anonymity is powerful, and America is destroying it 4 weeks ago:
You’re right, America always takes the podium even if it’s an international issue.
Thing is, we shouldn’t blame America for it, we should blame all tyrannical governments which oppress human rights. This isn’t the problem for the future, it is a present problem; authoritarianism is a threat to humanity.
- Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ? 4 weeks ago:
That’s just how society is, most stuff just isn’t logical or ethical. As such, there are people that get aggressive over others asking questions, how is that socially acceptable?
But yes, acceptance by society doesn’t mean it’s right. Majority of the time morality is forcefully projected into others, and penalised if they dare to question that morality.
