Agrees, just give kids "dumb phones" with basic phone calls, SMS and a GPS on it. Hell, make them government issued so literally all kids have them.
Right, I wouldn't necessarily go entirely "government issued to every kid in America", as you said, but a more general program so families can access simplified and approved phones to maintain easy contact with their children would be ideal.

Well, as long as it's simple and kids aren't getting groomed or gooning all day, that's the important part.
 
How can you differentiate a user under 18 entirely all around the net? I suppose it'll have to be some facial scan to approve to just get past ISP level, with your entire background check and everything scanned and approved if over 18 constantly and tracked.
I don't know. Make it illegal for a kid to own a smart phone.
How about parents fucking parent their kids? It's not that hard. Don't gorilla glue an iPad into the child's hands before they're a certain age. Solves every problem developmentally, societally, grammatically...
 
I don't know. Make it illegal for a kid to own a smart phone. If they're out in public with them they're confiscated and parents are fined. Aggressively police and report when minors are exposed as being minors online. Inverse pedo hunters. Giga fine social media companies that knowingly let minors post or join.
Good luck on that, like making kids in the day illegal to have access to modems to download it. Ridiculous.

AI's gonna take care of this all anyway soon, this is just counting angels dancing on a pinhead now.

God bless our homeschooling hero parents, but outside of that situation, this is a delusional goal. If your kid goes to any kind of school the other kids will make sure they get full exposure to the full gamut of Internet depravity.
 
I never heard about this, fascinating. I have long suspected firefighting might attract people who want to be seen as heroes more than actually be them.
I generally try to give them the benefit of the doubt, But of the 3 branches of first responders, every interaction with them I've ever had has left me feeling like "Dude... why are you such an entitled sounding dick?"

Which for me is more often than I would think is normal. I've had the unfortunate luck of being witness to, and first on the scene to give aid/call 911 at 2 separate accidents in the last year, AND the off peak day and time I go grocery shopping aligns with a couple engine house's shopping windows. So there's usually 2-3 crews wandering around the store. At one of these accidents, I literally got into a verbal altercation with the engine driver over the proximity of my car to the scene when they arrived, which was blocking traffic for my and the victim's safety.

My only interactions with them so far were back in college when kids would somehow fuck up cooking in the dorms and trigger an alarm. They always acted like it was some huge burden that they had to get deployed to a call. I get that it's a dumb type of call, but also, like, it's your job?

Even home schooling parents, unless they live literally on a farm an hour from other families, have their kids participate in extra curriculars (sports, arts, friendships) with both other home schoolers and normie kids. Home schooling helps but it's hardly a solution on its own.
 
He can't be serious right? America's hat would be California on steroids if it was a state. The sane country that kept Castros son for so long.
The people would be a burden, but the resources wouldn't. Seems to basically be how Trump looks at things, hence his willingness to import 120,000 H1Bs this year.

He's not.
I think he tweets these when he's shitting on the toilet and enjoys the power he has to drive the narrative for a few hours at least and watch people respond.
 
Framed properly, with utter contempt and shame for coomers, porn bans are a guaranteed win.

Honestly though I think the better tactic is to simply ban anyone under 18 from the internet entirely. Faggot kids can't vote, so who cares if they're mad. Meanwhile literally all parents hate social media and phones but feel social pressure to let their kids have them and access to the net, keep kids safe from porn, groomers, rampant social anxiety, and you protect the Internet as a place for free expression as well.
I mean, on the face of it, sounds good, but there's 0 ways to enforce it outside of giving social media companies your ID. Also, what happens when they turn 18 and are STILL pissed?

Theirs a proper way to do this I think:

1: All of Canada becomes a territory within the US. Not a State, a Territory, like Guam and such. Prime minister becomes governor, etc.
2: Let Quebec go independent, they will not join period. half of the weather underground went there to hide from the FBI in the 70's, I think their pretty fucking leftist
3: Start slowly incorporating the rural states into the union, they tend to be conservative.

The only major issue is do we combine some of the smaller states, cause some of them are smaller than Wyoming.

She’s even angrier at the rest of the country. She told me, more than once, that the Trumpified Kennedy Center “should get blown up.” In the S.U.V., apropos the current Administration, she pronounced, “Leave. New York. Alone. Make it its own country. I mean, is there any other city in America that’s as diverse, as in-your-face? It’s a live-or-die city, it really is. Stick it out or leave.”
 
Guess the race: Secret Service edition

Two Secret Service agents were suspended after getting into a physical altercation last week that was captured on video and circulated online.

A Secret Service spokesperson confirmed the authenticity of the video, which depicted two female officers getting into a physical fight while on duty. NBC News reported that the incident occurred outside of former President Obama’s home in Washington, D.C.

The spokesperson said the incident — which occurred early last Wednesday — is under internal investigation.

“The U.S. Secret Service is aware of an on-duty altercation that occurred between two Uniformed Division officers at approximately 2:30 a.m. on May 21,” the statement read. “The individuals involved were suspended from duty and this matter is the subject of an internal investigation.”

“The Secret Service has a very strict code of conduct for all employees and any behavior that violates that code is unacceptable,” the statement continued.

“Given this is a personnel matter, we are not in a position to comment further,” the spokesperson said.
