How do I come back at someone calling me a fed? Fuck, I don't have any good arguments pro compliance ... Guess I'm going to show how stupid and crazy they are by being a pedant Haha, that'll show 'em

^you probably

How do I come back at someone pointing out i can't/don't read and am hyperventilating over laws that don't exist outside of my mind? Call everyone a fed.

laws that don’t exist outside of my mind

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1043 https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/ab-1043s-internet-age-gates-hurt-everyone

I don't know about you but this looks pretty real to me? Are you going to tell me that there is no AB 1043. Maybe you are trapped in a solipsistic world where this sort of encroachment doesn't exist.

I know what you are going to say next, "Have you yourself ever seen the curvature of the Ear-", but let me stop you for a sec and tell you that when you think everything is Alex Jones, you should maybe look at yourself and ask the question "Maybe I am Alex Jones?"

JFC did you even read the article you linked to. What's the point in talking to people hyperventilating so hard you don't read your own sources.

Even proposals that may not explicitly mandate age verification

Look, I can selectively quote what you say to completely fuck up the meaning of things!

little things like geography don’t matter.
