in any place where that was how using child labor was punished, there would be no need for that punishment (and therefore that punishment would never be used). So idk what the point of fantasizing about the US not being the US but still being the US is.

Still rules to take a self-portrait where you look like a tech company executive in a computer advertisement. It's amazing how much looking good in photos makes you seem important.
They have a podcast apparently lol, someone translated it to English if what I saw briefly on Twitter (or Bluesky?) was true.
we can't deface our beautiful president! that's against the rules.
The “Kubrick Stare” is one of Stanley Kubrick‘s most recognizable directorial techniques, a method of shot composition where a character stares at the camera with a forward tilt, to convey to the audience that the character in question is at the peak of their derangement.
I would just use subscriptions. that way you can subscribe to stuff from other instances, which is really useful.
but we know that they won't be "leaving that up to the kids". It'll end up working the same as sex ed without talking about gay people or whatever will go. It just means everyone is assumed to be cis and hetero and that will be the only group of people accommodated by sex ed.
the next step is to increase the price of the ad supported plan. And once new membership is like 80% on the ad-supported plan, they can drop the ad-free one.
yeah it's pretty clearly not in support of murder of black kids.
You find things through real-world networking, or hyperlinks from other websites. Of course it's much easier to use a general search engine like Google. The point is that a search engine becoming bad doesn't suddenly mean "the internet" is unusable and you have to resort to going to a library or something.
I just don't like it when people conflate a couple large websites with the "internet" itself, which is really just an evolution of telephone and telegraph systems that connect the world together. The utility of accessing remote data doesn't go away. And pretending it does is hyperbole.
The internet is also so much more open and easy to access than any system before it. Telephone and telegraph systems were so much more limited. Like a phone number is attached to your identity as a real person in a way that an IP address or network interface isn't. That's a really powerful thing.
probably fake
