Parents have been pushing child rearing onto schools for a while now. I'd guess they expect the schools to do the heavy lifting of convincing the kids to come to school without the parents being involved but if they try to use any punishment as a stick the parents would go running to the press or a lawyer.

People have become deluded with the idea that we can function normally without ever having in person interactions. Humans are social animals and need to be physically present around each other, not hiding behind a keyboard perpetually. I see some huge problems with depression and loneliness coming down the pike as these generations age.

On the other hand the CC companies have huge amounts of fraud they have to cover. I'm sure it is still very profitable but I'd be interested to see how much fraud vs revenue they deal with.

What is the rule? 99% of advertising is wasted, the trick is finding the 1% that worked?

I've always wondered who the hell actually clicks on the vast majority of junk ads, and they are truly junk. I think I can count on one hand the number of ads in the last month that I've chosen to actually follow. I'd say the majority of my "clicks" were misclicks, like trying to close some crappy video window. I assume most advertisers are just being lied to constantly and getting bogus click through metrics to keep them paying. They are pumping out so many fake accounts, junk ads, etc that they are just choking themselves. The forums they exploit, like product reviews, just become useless.

AI generated crap and lies and the world gets just a little bit worse.

Seriously? You expect investors and silicon valley to show a real goal or realistic ROI plan?

I stay in bed on weekends until my body feels sore, then I know it is time to wake up :D

Either that or my cat gets sick of us sleeping in.

The ARM64 version of Windows 11 has emulators for both x86-32 and x86-64 applications, and it works for most programs.

No one is forcing you to buy Apple. There are only essentially two phone systems because who the hell wants to deal with more? No consumer wants to struggle with it, they just want it to work. Done. Apple's closed garden appeals to these folks. We've struggled to get connector standards and these suits want chaos in the phone market? LG dropped out of the market even though they made nice, reasonably priced phones but people voted with their wallets.

This is just what Big Chicken Pox wants you to believe

This is the correct response.

Thank god they are cracking down on these evil sex sites! Meanwhile in Texas....

The rate of firearm-related deaths in Texas has reached a level not seen since the 1990s

They just want to ban pornography for adults, the kids are just an excuse.

They should start fining every resident of Texas who tries to access these sites instead and see how long they stay in office.

Getting a player's game process to execute arbitrary code is "hacking the two players' computers directly", so their statement is BS.
