Your subreddit gets banned immediately if you don't agree with the redditeurs.

You don't see this an as issue because you share their opinions

Everyone else manages to do it, you're not special. Be on time, or be a NEET I guess. You've decided you'll never be able to function properly so yeah you probably won't.
>i never CHOSE to text jimmy

Yes you did. You are an adult human being with free will.

Please keep things like this on iOS
iPeople reject your reality and substitute their own.

When Apple makes a mistake, it was really a genius 4D chess move and everyone will copy them and also it wasn't really a mistake, we just have to trust the plan.

Yeah not being mentally ill and self hating does have a genetic component.

I agree. We should be free to not associate with non-Whites.
If it had actually reduced mass immigration from the third world, as voters were promised, it would have been good.
>Different types of pornography have different dangers and all of it has been broadly available since before the internet.

A child couldn't get hardcore porn as easily as they can now, one google search away. Or just on their reddit/X feed.

>This type of violence can be found in movies and video games

Yeah but those aren't real. Videos of real death and violence being available to kids is worse than video games where fake characters die.

>I'd rather pornography be banned.

Adults are free to fuck themselves up, kids are not. We don't say "well I'd rather alcohol be banned" when it comes to kids not being allowed alcohol.

>Why?

Because I'd rather live in a society with less privacy than a degenerate society full of mentally ill shutins that don't have sex.

>to protect their margins.

Fuck margins, I care about the overall wellbeing of society.

Yes.
>from improved content filtering and educational initiatives to parental controls

Parents can do all of that now. They are not doing so. Time to actually cut the kids off from porn. Fuck their privacy rights. Not being a porn addicted gooner at 14 is infinitely more important. Simple as.

Why do you want children to be grooming victims/porn addicts?
Would you rather your kids be groomed and become addicted to porn?
Reducing the amount of children getting addicted to porn by any amount is better than not reducing it at all.
Saying what book you're talking about is kind of a spoiler now for anyone that happens to be reading its series. Are there spoiler tags on HN? <SPOILER> The Long Utopia, book 4/5 of the Long Earth series by Pratchett and Baxter. </SPOILER> The series has very meh characters/dialogue, excellent ideas and sense of nearly possibility-unlimited discovery that's executed very well, highly recommend if that's your cup of tea. Ended up skipping all the flashback chapters near the end of the series though, that felt like a load of filler

You're just using buzzwords. How is this analogous to robber barons at all?

Re:Tell Mozilla: it's time to ditch Google on Thursday March 13, 2025 @09:36PM (#43358840)
Firefox wins handily on the following:

- Sidebery (tree style vertical tabs)

- userChrome.css editing

- Stylus and all other manifest v2 extensions that Brave won't be developing custom replacements for

- Better performance with lots of tabs/windows

- Container tabs

Firefox is better for powerusers and those who like customization, Chrome is better for those who don't care about customization and just watch Netflix. Pretty much equivalent to the Android/iOS debate.

Re:Tell Mozilla: it's time to ditch Google on Thursday March 13, 2025 @03:22AM (#43351005)
Excise the wokeness eating away at Mozilla. It's taking money and time away from making Firefox better, stifling independent thought, and keeping talented devs away. Nobody sane wants to work at a company full of Rust types. One piece of wrongthink and your life is over.

It does entitle you to warn others not to waste their money by donating unless they're big fans of feminist African studies
Re:Tell Mozilla: it's time to ditch Google on Thursday March 13, 2025 @03:15AM (#43350972)
"Firefox: The Browser for Feminist Africans" is terrible marketing. It actively drives people away, nobody wants to use a crappy woke browser. "Firefox: Objectively Better Than Chrome Because of X, Y, and Z" is great marketing. It's really that simple.

They should spend 90% on developers.

Re:Tell Mozilla: it's time to ditch Google on Thursday March 13, 2025 @03:12AM (#43350961)
Why should I donate to an organization that spends its money trying to turn Zambia gay? I just want a good browser, man.
Re:Tell Mozilla: it's time to ditch Google on Thursday March 13, 2025 @03:09AM (#43350952)
"Bad faith" just means "I disagree" huh? That "2-3" should be zero. Activist woke BS needs to be excised from Mozilla. It all brings nothing but conflict, waste, and censorship. Tech companies need to focus on tech. Go peddle your cancer somewhere else.
