random9749832··on Top UN legal investigators conclude Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza
Intentionally killing children will never be justified, everything else serves as a decoy from acknowledging this simple fact.
random9749832··on Top UN legal investigators conclude Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza
Nice critic. I remember on Reddit watching someone get blown up the other day while carrying water while it was still up. I think they were under 10.

Not sure if they died or just lost all their limbs.

random9749832··on When the sun will literally set on what's left of the British Empire
A country can have leverage that goes beyond how much potential it has to invade or destroy another nation.

> Last time I checked, most countries today, aside from Russia, aren't in the business of invading other countries and expanding territory

How about Israel that the UK is arming? Though in the case of the UK it is contracting.

> The UK will be just fine - it's doing as much as any other western country to keep it's relevance.

That's reassuring.

random9749832··on When the sun will literally set on what's left of the British Empire
I think you are just highlighting how the UK is losing agency in the world. At this rate it will become a museum.
random9749832··on AI Is Wrecking Young Americans' Job Prospects
Job prospects down, immigration up. Someone make it make sense.
random9749832··on Is 4chan the perfect Pirate Bay poster child to justify wider UK site-blocking?
False equivalence. One of them is a (failed) proxy war the other is genocide.
random9749832··on 4chan will refuse to pay daily online safety fines, lawyer tells BBC
Humiliation of the UK continues. Falling into irrelevance / meme territory.
random9749832··on Porn censorship is going to destroy the internet
My point ultimately is that this is a non-solution (websites that don't have verification) (keep in mind they never solved piracy) that is causing collateral damage (non-pornographic content).
random9749832··on Porn censorship is going to destroy the internet
Restrict != ban. "She wants ministers to explore requiring VPNs "to implement highly effective age assurances to stop underage users from accessing pornography.""
random9749832··on Porn censorship is going to destroy the internet
Meanwhile weapons are being sent to Israel to bomb children because they really care about the lives of others. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-...
random9749832··on Porn censorship is going to destroy the internet
They are going to start restricting VPN usage as well [1] and I can't even click on a Reddit profile without getting age verification pop up because they commented on a dating advice subreddit once. At the same time I can go on Google images, type "porn" and click filter off without any problems.

random9749832··on Fight Chat Control
Sorry but you are an idiot, no one brought up the Nazis except you. It is control in the name of safety one of which destroyed many businesses.
random9749832··on Fight Chat Control
When they locked everything down and forced you to wear masks they already told you who they are. They don't care about your freedom or you as an individual and your rights.
random9749832··on Rising young worker despair in the United States
Reddit is a dumping ground for venting just like LinkedIn is a dumping ground for bragging. You are going to get skewed perspectives.
random9749832··on Leaders are using appeals to nostalgia, nationalism to attack higher education
You are trying to do the lifting for an article that fails to make its own case. It got flagged anyway for being bait.
random9749832··on Leaders are using appeals to nostalgia, nationalism to attack higher education
A very bold title but not much to back it up. The so called "war" and "attack" is apparently banning gender studies.
random9749832··on Hezbollah pager explosions kill several people in Lebanon
Everytime you say Israel you must insert US, just as you must insert Iran every time you mention Palestine. These are who the war is between. Hamas or Hezbollah by itself is nothing and so is a <10 million population fighting several adversaries. And the US will always win in escalation which is exactly what they have aimed to achieve and why Iran never gave a 'proper' response to the assassination of Haniyeh.
random9749832··on Breaking Down OnlyFans' Economics
It is worse here because it is competitive as well. People get incentivised to do things they normally wouldn't in order to please whatever algorithm is driving the content on the site. A race to the bottom.
random9749832··on Breaking Down OnlyFans' Economics
I can go on any known porn site right now in Incognito and the front page is full of cuck, incest and trans. We aren't just talking about intercourse we are talking about certain acts of depravity being pushed into the collective conscious.
random9749832··on Mpox: Sweden confirms first case of 'more grave' variant outside Africa
From a BBC article:

>The virus was originally transmitted from animals to humans but now also passes between humans.

>The current outbreak from DR Congo is being driven by sexual contact, but has also been found in other communities.

I think anyone can piece these together and trying to explain it would sound offensive.

random9749832··on Partisan bot-like accounts continue to amplify divisive content on X
We can all see you have zero intellectual honesty, but I still can't help but ask; with your finite time what do you think you are achieving here?
random9749832··on Kids Who Get Smartphones Earlier Become Adults with Worse Mental Health (2023)
You seem to be trying to generalise the behaviour of people with "mental health issues" which is rather broad with different outcomes among different individuals. It is almost like a polite way of putting people in the crazy bucket.
random9749832··on Anxious Generation – How Safetyism and Social Media Are Damaging the Kids
>Kids also become overprotected in other ways, such as not hearing other views or not being able to handle opposing views. No wonder academia is nowadays the exact opposite of free speech and the scientific method.

I wonder how much the scientific method went into coming to that conclusion.

Also if anything we are way too exposed to other people's views. Before you could speak to someone random and there was a much higher chance that their opinions were unique because they weren't the next person who binges on r/all. We had many more forums and less recommendation algorithms driving what we consume. Now you overhear people talking about something you just saw the other day online in public all the time.

It is similar to how globalisation is making everywhere feel the same whereas in the past people had completely distinct cultures from one country to the next.

random9749832··on Google inks record-breaking $300M Tel Aviv rental deal
It is somehow always the most woke companies/people that turn out to be the biggest hypocrites. Something needs to be done about the mind virus out there.
random9749832··on Malaysia to Join BRICS
Yes I am sure trying to spell losing got autocorrected to loosing and doesn't instead come from low level understanding of the English language.
random9749832··on Malaysia to Join BRICS
More display of collateral damage from the unconditional support for Israel showing how much of the Islamic world has forgotten about the treatment of Uyghurs. Another win for China.
random9749832··on Malaysia to Join BRICS
More Western arrogance from people who can't even spell losing. It is so over.
random9749832··on The hikikomori in Asia: A life within four walls
It was rhetorical. Thought I made it clear with the preceding sentences.
random9749832··on The hikikomori in Asia: A life within four walls
How encouraging is it really if there is lots of VNs about shut-ins? Seems like just more escapism. How many does the average person play before they start going outside?
random9749832··on The hikikomori in Asia: A life within four walls
When you are a teenager it is so easy to treat your time as if it is unlimited and start sinking 1000s of hours into some MMO or other games that before you know it you are in your 20s with no girlfriend, job, skill or self-confidence.

Then you got Japanese entertainment like Hatsune Miku, idols and visual novels/anime that take advantage of lonely people with make-believe girlfriends.
