silexia··on The infinite scroll may become endangered if controversial Calif. law passes
Yes, I need this too. I'd pay 20x if I could keep the usefulness of my phone and its apps but get rid of the addictive stuff.

Adults like me need these protections too.
silexia··on How we can reduce traffic congestion
Eliminate illegal immigration.
silexia··on USAA closed 51% of home insurance claims without making a payment in 2025
USAA used to be great, but now it a scam basically. I used them for a decade and noticed how much worse it was getting, and left. Now I am with Country Financial... Somewhat better.
silexia··on Why skilled workers come to Germany and then leave again
If German people move to African or Eastern countries, how long till they can get full citizenship rights? My understanding is never in most of these countries.
silexia··on China sentences official to death for taking $325M in bribes
Keep in mind, the official may have done nothing wrong but not kissed the wrong Communist behind so he got framed.
silexia··on Every new car sold in the European Union must include a driver monitoring camera
Orwellian. What an absolute nightmare of government control. Advancing technology is giving too much power to the government, do not let them have it or you will never get your rights back.
silexia··on Union Busters Coming After Me
Yes, I value curing cancer as being more important than letting slackers collect paychecks and not get fired. Sorry.
silexia··on President pardons 9 for Clean Air violations for 'fixing their car'
These laws are extremely counterproductive to start with. They require mining huge amounts of rare earth metals and building toxic lakes to manufacture, and they do a poor job of cleaning emissions and reduce engine efficiency. Base diesel engines are much better.
silexia··on Union Busters Coming After Me
Unions destroy innovation and change in businesses. Look at how teachers unions fight against performance based pay and make it impossible to fire bad teachers. I love that cancer centers are resisting communism.
silexia··on Half-Baked Product
Don't forget that they get awarded 3 patents early for very broad things like "heating" and then proceed to sue dozens of legitimate companies and get six figure settlements because fighting it would be even more expensive.
silexia··on Florida Is Executing Prisoners at a Record Pace
The death penalty should be used far more frequently and for far more types of crime. Appeals should be fast and inexpensive.
silexia··on Peter Thiel in Aspen: The pope is 'working for the Chinese Communists'
Users of these drugs frequently think mistakenly everyone else but be using them. I thought the same thing during the brief period I experimented with them 21 years ago.
silexia··on Job seekers giving up: Labor force participation falls to lowest in 50 years
As an employer, the endless government red tape and regulations make me far more hesitant to hire people.
silexia··on The Humbling of the Once Almighty Dollar
Krugman has to have the worst takes I have seen from any pop author.
silexia··on I Co-Founded Wikipedia. Now I'm Banned for Life
Wikipedia is extremely biased to the far left on anything political.
silexia··on Reading Is the Ultimate Cognitive Enhancer
AI slop
silexia··on 'Careless People' author claims Meta surveilled her for 12mos to enforce silence
Looks like a lying disgruntled employee. But everyone here is employees so they all jump on the salacious side.
silexia··on US Supreme Court scales back Roundup cancer lawsuits
The lawsuits on Roundup are the antivaxxer equivalent of the chemical world. Roundup is the safest chemical we have for farming.
silexia··on U.S. health spending on pace to hit $6T
The problem is the artificial restrictions on doctors to drive up prices and the artificial restrictions on medical equipment (patents) to drive up prices.
silexia··on Why Does Everyone Hate AI?
I hate Paul Krugman and his extremely biased and just flat wrong opinions.
silexia··on A man was gifted his dream car by Kevin Mitnick, who he helped put in prison
The glorification of scammers needs to stop and we need to return to harsh Hammurabi law style punishment.
silexia··on Madison Square Garden compiled a list of activists against facial recognition
Why shouldn't they be able to blacklist lawyers? If I owned a restaurant and was being sued by opposing attorneys, I think it would be perfectly normal and acceptable to bar those attorneys from my restaurant.
silexia··on Madison Square Garden compiled a list of activists against facial recognition
Any private individual or organization has the right to Bar anyone else from their facility. Madison square garden is simply doing it at scale. I pretty much hate everything MSG is about, but they have a perfectly acceptable right to do this.
silexia··on Founding a company in Germany: €9600, 152 days and I still can't send an invoice
Germany is a nightmare of red tape.
silexia··on Did my old job only exist because of fraud?
Bootstrap yourself, or investors take everything.
silexia··on Trump says he no longer views Anthropic as a threat after G7 meeting
AI is the #1 threat to humanity.
silexia··on Court Records Should Be Free
I would love for all court records, federal and state and local, to be public. But special interests keep gaining more and more advantage over the public in every area. Especially attorneys.
silexia··on Trump Surrenders to Iran on Virtually Every Point
