That depends, would it work as well as our efforts of banning guns and drugs?

Meta and everything they do and stand for is why I chose Signal over Whatsapp.

you should totally crosspost this to /c/conspiracy, you’ll get much more entertaining responses.

It made no positive change in the surplus of weapons on the street. The only people that turned them in were people that would have never used them in the first place and many people in the deep red areas, like where I lived actually went out and bought more guns because they saw it as the beginning of forcefully taking their guns from them.

I would suspect that the only people that benefited from the program was the weapon industry and might have even helped get the program in place.

I consume content here via all/new so my block list is used to make sure I don’t see users, communities and instances that keep me from enjoying my time here. It’s lengthy but does the job well.

Perhaps it’s more complex than a single reason but I believe all scenarios would most likely fall into the bucket of “things were that easy for them and they lack the critical thought to realize that it’s not that easy for everyone else”.

Boomers were buying houses and cars with only one person working, retiring at a decent age and living on mostly social security.

Generational wealth has ensured that their offspring would never have to struggle.

Some settled into a job that truly does pay for all their necessities.

etc., ad nauseum.

Basically, it’s a throwaway statement and I don’t think anyone should lose any sleep feeling like they need to further discuss it with them or defend themselves. They are clearly incapable of stepping outside of their knee-jerk assumptions to find out if they’re accurate or not.

Bugatti Veyron.

I had no idea either but I did find this while Googling(Kagi-ing?)

This sounds like an argument that an incel would make. You’re supposed to be intelligent enough not to be swayed by the presence of tits.

The attempt to compare the capability of psychological manipulation between AI and squished boobs is absolutely comical.

I’ll mourn him in the same way he mourns others.

Of course they do. That was literally my point. Musk didn’t bother to hide it so we don’t need new studies to show that’s how they operate.

There are apps that block third party ads and trackers in most apps(Rethink DNS, Adguard) but some apps like facebook, youtube, etc use app tunneling to keep another app from being able to manipulate it’s traffic.

Absolutely nobody needed a new study to show the risks. We all saw what could happen as Musk altered Grok to behave in manners that he approved of.

You misunderstand my post. I was saying that I thought EVERYONE ON THE INTERNET knew that these sites are tracking you. My 75 year old mother is aware that all corporate run sites she visits on the web are tracking links she clicks.

It’s hard to tell in a textual post but are you surprised by this? Genuine question as I’ve not met anyone in a very long time that wasn’t aware that all corporate URLs on the web are tracking absolutely everything they can about you.

II absolutely love that multilingual in the language of rant. You deserve more ups than I can give.

I think they take a ton of heat on it and most employees just don’t even try when you come in to cancel. Two out of three PF accounts in our house were canceled at different times and both times, the person behind the counter didn’t ask a single question, just wiped the account and told us to have a great day.

I don’t want to provide false hope but we had two cats in the past that had the same issue and both times, their recovery followed what you’re describing. It took some time for the passing of urine to look free of obstruction(not a dribble) and of a sufficient amount and they both recovered fully.

Stay vigilant with keeping multiple clean sources of water around(sometimes the cats like moving water, so a fountain-type water feeder that you can buy at a pet store or online). Stick with the medicine and I would bet my money on your kitteh making a full recovery.

I’ve been pegged as one who serially modals online.
