It's not exactly what you're referring to, but "Twisters" - the sequel to the tornado movie - was pretty weird.

The expression "it takes a village to raise a child" applies here. It's impossible for a parent to be with their child at all times. Children aren't always at home, and a lot of parents suck, don't care, or are just misinformed. YouTube is available everywhere, including at schools and libraries. Look at it like smoking. We recognize that cigarettes are dangerous and cause cancer, therefore children can't buy them. Social media companies - and let's stop pretending YouTube isn't social media, it very much is - are today's big tobacco. They need regulated, and not doing so is causing tremendous societal harm.

While all of that might be true, YouTube is also a for-profit cesspool of trash content, hate speech, and misinformation. An entire generation of gen z manosphere Nazi bootlickers got where they are watching "gaming videos" on YouTube.

It auto plays by default and their algorithms are dogshit, so you might start watching an educational video with your kid, but end up on a flat earth video fifteen minutes later, or much much worse.

When my son was younger, we severely limited his YouTube time and closely monitored what he was watching on it. Most parents don't do that.

I dislike legislation like this too, but we're not talking about PBS or a library here. Kids truly shouldn't be on YouTube unattended.

You can trust that he thinks it was a "privilege" to be invited to child rape Island

What in the sweet LARP-ing fuck are you talking about? Healing spells? The grownups are trying to have a conversation about the world we live in, friend.

Right? The band makes a great point and fuck Spotify and everything, but they expect things to be slightly less convenient for me? What absolute monsters, I'm going to side with the tech bros on this one.

/s obviously

As a rational human being capable of independent thought I agree with you. Unfortunately, the average American doesn't fall under this category, and there's an alarmingly significant portion of our populace who are very much okay with the Nazi shit. They voted for the Nazi shit.

For whatever reason, pedophilia (yet not rape, misogyny, or non-sexual child abuse of any other flavor) appears to be the line for these people. So, yes, he's very much all the other things you mentioned, but for the good of public discourse, it's my patriotic duty to shout as loudly as I can for all to hear:

The president is a pedophile

The president is a pedophile

 

I can see what they were going for with it, but some more color would have been dope. The sound is phenomenal though... The drums especially really stand out on it. Great master.

 

Waiting until after work to give the audio book a listen, but the tracks sound phenomenal. The drums are especially rich on it, gonna be a favorite to listen to for sure.

 

Any other vinyl collectors out there getting their shipping confirms yet? What variants did y'all grab? Can't wait to hear how full Motor Spirit sounds on this.
