- Comment on Taliban leader bans Wi-Fi in an Afghan province to 'prevent immorality' 14 hours ago:
it’s not about immorality, it’s to limit the access to outside information in a country where most internet access is done through smartphones.

I’m sure the hell not because I don’t like being out at night.
- Comment on What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? 1 day ago:
Pretty much because my smartphone is basically my digital Swiss army knife. Like even if I got a separate digital camera and MP3 Player, I also use it for navigation and to communicate with my parents and friends over signal, and like hell I am gonna give up signal. Add to that it’s also my portable wifi hotspot when I’m out, my train tickets, and how I pay for things when I’m sans-purse, I don’t know if I can give up my smartphone.
Would it be good for me to get off social media and to stop doomscrolling the news? Yes, but I can do that by going out and touching grass.

If Charlie Kirk actually met Jesus he’d call for him to be killed for being a brown socialist anarchist woke.
- Comment on I wonder why the widespread adoption of the internet hasn't been good for society as a whole. 2 days ago:
Are you sure about that?
Like I know you are going to point to the following:
- Surveillance Capitalism
- The rise of the Alt Right
- Conspiracies
- Social Media
But I would pin that more on capitalism than anything. The internet in my opinion has been a boon for society. For example…
- Wikipedia has basically made the HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy real.
- Open Source Technology wouldn’t exist as it is now without the internet.
- There are entire businesses that wouldn’t exist without the internet.
- There are whole fandoms that wouldn’t exist without the internet.
- The internet has allowed for economic and political opportunities that just couldn’t be a thing if it wasn’t for the internet.
- It’s been a boon for collaboration, which I think it’s humanity’s biggest strength.
Do I think the internet has allowed for us to enter a cyberpunk hellscape? Yes. Do I think the internet has been a net negative for society? No!

Literally asked one of those chuds about that and they said “it’s ours because we conquered it” and I’m like “Just sounds like you believe you can take whatever you want based on your race”.
- Comment on From burner phones to decks of cards: NYC teens are adjusting to the smartphone ban 2 days ago:
Yeah, and again: the thing with mass shooters is that they don’t give a fuck what the law says.
They’re not going to go through the phone checkpoint, they’re just gonna open fire. This would not stop a mass shooting.
- Comment on From burner phones to decks of cards: NYC teens are adjusting to the smartphone ban 3 days ago:
Yeah but the thing with mass shooters is that they don’t give a fuck what the law says.

OK so, in Wicca at least (not sure about other traditions) there’s this thing called the Rule of Three: everything you send out will come back three times as hard, including with Magic.
So, I wonder how the rule of three will deal with this?

Nah, personally I just remind them that when Europe thinks of Americans we think of the Film Deliverance.
- Comment on Bit sad in'nit 1 week ago:
The UK offers dental on the NHS. Part of the stereotype of “bad teeth” comes from the fact that American dentists will market purely cosmetic procedures as “essential” (so they can make money) while UK Dentists only do procedures that are necessary for people’s health and wellbeing.
Dental procedures like Veneers are (rightly) seen as cosmetic.

I forgot a word: We don’t give everyone with the money for a ticket to a gun show…
- Comment on Social media platforms including X, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, WhatsApp have been restricted in Turkey 1 week ago:
It’s either:
- Someone bollox’d up and pressed the “block” button.
- They wanted to show it off to people as a “fuck you, obey us”.
- They were just testing it.
Either one is worrying.
- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 1 week ago:
In America you can bypass gun checks in most checks if you buy your gun from a Gun show.
- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 1 week ago:
Because we don’t have regular mass shootings in schools because we don’t give every single person the money for a ticket to a gun show a gun and where we do, we legislate that they keep their gun in a gun safe. You know, like the rest of the world…or the USA in 1792.

Oh, then it depends when you bring her back. She came to the throne when she was 26 and also served in the army as a mechanic. At the D-Day memorial one year she was the only leader there to have served in the Second World War. So she knows how to shoot a gun, knows how to repair a car, and can defo fuck someone up if she was brought back at her prime.

Also if historical heads of state are allowed I wanna see Robert the Bruce Vs Richard Lionheart and I also wanna see Charles the First hiding in a corner in the Foetal position rocking back and forth like a little bitch.
