  • Is that a bad thing?

  • I'm surprised by the number of people ITT arguing for censorship who clearly havent read the article

    KOSA will compel even the smallest online forums to take action against content that politicians believe will cause minors “anxiety,” “depression,” or encourage substance abuse, among other behaviors. Of course, almost any content could easily fit into these categories—in particular, truthful news about what’s going on in the world, including wars, gun violence, and climate change. Kids don’t need to fall into a wormhole of internet content to get anxious; they could see a newspaper on the breakfast table.

    The world is depressing, but we won't fix this world by shielding children from the reality of climate change and war. In fact, we need them to be aware of these issues, or history will repeat itself.

    Censorship is not the solution.

  • I dont know where you're from, but letting kids walk around by themselves is absolutely normal. And important for them. Usually you just tell them to be home before the sun sets.

  • That's censorship. You dont try to treat STDs in kids by telling them not to have sex; that doesn't work. Instead you teach kids the risks and how to mitigate those risks

  • You know what a long (now empty) shed that used to be full of tortured chickens is perfect for? Growing mushrooms.

    Better for the farmer, better for thr animals, better for the consumers.

  • Volunteer for an open source project. It will build your resume significantly

  • We do. Just buy wheat flour and wash out the starch. It has wayy more protein than dead animals, its cheaper, its hethier, and it doesn't cause climate change.

  • Selling isn't legal in Portugal but all (nondistribution) drug use has been decriminalized

    Decriminalization has serious issues for safe medicines like cannabis, but I prefer it to legalization for opiates personally

  • Only two options: Canada or Uruguay

    Edit: probably should have checked the instance lol

  • "But if you don't go voluntarily, then we'll starve and murder you"
