Some parents don't know or don't care what their kids do and this would be just another thing to screw with their kids heads.

"We don't go around banning cars to nerf the world for our children."

No, but we do ban drugs, don't sell kids cigarettes and have a minimum age for drinking for a reason - they're children, not small adults, they don't think the same way as adults and don't yet have those mental tripwires that stop them doing stupid stuff so we have to stop them doing it.

"Spawning crotchgoblins doesn't give you any special insight."

Wrong, it changes your perspective. When you're out of short trousers you may understand that.

"Raise your damn kids and stop expecting the internet to do it for ya."

Whoooshh....

"We apparently live in a world where a bot writing down sexy stories is a bigger concern than blatant bait-and-switch."

Yeah, it is. When/if you reproduce your priorities will change.

... ever thought this was a good idea in the first place?? Arn't the tech companies in enough of the brown stuff as it is without realtime AI porn being added to the mix? FFS, fire them before they do any more harm.

" There is no intelligent Life in the Universe. Anyone who believes otherwise is under-educated."

Given the universe could be infinite in extent that seems unlikely.

My favorite part of my HiSense TV was turning it on the first time. It asked if I wanted a 'standard TV' or 'Google TV'. I picked standard and that was that. No wifi, no apps, just HDMI ports.

I think she could reasonably assume that she wouldn't be served liquid hot enough to literally melt her.

Hmm, a choice of thick idiots making up stories or aliens landed and hid behind walls. Tough one...

If by 'burned a little' you mean 'her labia literally melted and fused shut,' you're correct.

Believers gonna believe. They're not interested in rational explanations because if true it proves they're gullible idiots and no one wants to face that.

You don't need avionic grade electronics for something that only lasts a few minutes after firing. I worked on an air to ground missile project and the electronics were automotive grade. Also there was the bare minimum heat shielding internally too - by the time the boards had got hot enough to fry it would have hit its target anyway or the fuel would have run out so why add extra weight.

FTA: "If you've been holding off on switching from X11 to Wayland because of Wine compatibility concerns,"

Oh yeah, *thats* the main reason people don't want to switch to wayland, nothing to do with all the myriad other issues:

Not sure what your point is. Do you think because there are plenty examples of idiots doing dangerous things none of these idiots should be punished?

If they'd been banned from driving for DUI yet go out and drive again anyway then clearly they're beyond reasoned discussion. However a few months in a cell would probably focus their minds quite well. We're talking adults here who are responsible for their actions, not young children.

I have absolutely no issue with someone who causes a crash and injury or death due to being on the phone being banged up for a significant time.
