Blaming parents is an individualistic solution to a systemic problem

A system made up of individual people....

No one EVER wants to take personal responsibility. God forbid a parent actually parent and not just hand their child's mind over to the state.

Timmy - Can I have meta glasses / mindrape myself with brainrot?

Parent - No.

Problem solved over night.

Shifting all of the onus onto the "mysterious system" is exactly what causes these issues in the first place. Its a cop out 100%. "Well I know I didnt even try but but but the system."

Change happens when individuals nut up and take things into their own hands.

The parents are shitty parents and will continue to be so as long as people keep hand-waving any and all responsibility.

Failed State.

[Chorus: Cop]

Trigger squeeze, knees give, bodies drop into the street

Thousand rounds will put you down, we got enough for every sound

You flinch at me? Yuh, yuh (You flinch at me?)

I pull up and make it a scene (I pull up and make it a scene)

Yuh, yuh, I pull up and sweep with the beam

[Verse 1: Cop]

Toss another shell on the ground, I don't need a reason, chief –

Just a twitch, a cough, a sneeze, and I'm squeezin'

Watch you drop like a busted pipe

I'm the jumpy type, soon as I hear a noise at night

I can't talk, just dump the mag

Into the dark – better safe than sorry, that's my flag

I'm a fiend for the trigger, ain't no safety

Count every round, reincarnate Dirty Harry

Fuck the de-escalation, I'm on high alert

I meditate on cover, you're so fake – you got hurt

I'll put two in your chest just for reaching for your face

The badge protects, clear the scene while I seal the case

[Chorus: Cop]

Trigger squeeze, knees give, bodies drop into the street

Thousand rounds will put you down, we got enough for every sound

You flinch at me? Yuh, yuh (You flinch at me?)

I pull up and make it a scene (I pull up and make it a scene)

Yuh, yuh, I pull up and sweep with the beam

[Verse 2: Cop]

So many civilians around me, yet I feel so alone

I'm a war vet walkin', sirens singin' my tone

You want that reckless fire? Go watch the bodycam to it

City's finest, you'll find us inside that cruiser, ready to do it

People right in front of my face –

But they really might lunge or reach for their back

I been on go for a minute –

Yeah, they really might move me off of my track

Yeah, I got a partner, but I still got a thousand rounds in my pack

Trigger-happy hero, a hundred clips flexin' –

But still jump at a crack

[Chorus: Cop] Trigger squeeze, knees give, bodies drop into the street

Thousand rounds will put you down, we got enough for every sound

You flinch at me? Yuh, yuh (You flinch at me?)

I pull up and make it a scene (I pull up and make it a scene)

Yuh, yuh, I pull up and sweep with the beam

Media IPs I loved repeatedly get wrecked by the companies that own them for the sake of easy profit.

They can't even get the BREAD or CIRCUSES correct. Like jfc. Truly mind boggling.

Cool freedom internet -> lets chase ease of use and mass appeal -> every tom dick johanne and susy join -> shitpost facebook internet

Cool freedom internet -> requires using SOME modicum of brain power and ability -> Cool freedom internet

on a serious note, in a lot of these discussions you all start with the assumption that the masses want a freedom net and can handle a freedom net. you just need to look at the current internet fully supported by and shaped by the masses choices to understand why that is faulty.

No one forced mass social media adoption, it was willingly chosen, and continues to be chosen despite the known and publicized(mainstream news) dangers/issues

the ability to exit back to personal sites, etc was always there. inb4 "people have no personal responsibility and they were held at gunpoint"

so let people sit in their piss pool happily, stop trying to advocate for them, the ones that truly want change will make it happen.

In comparison, the daily time spent with social media in the U.S. was just 2 hours and 16 minutes.

so you're telling me people can spend 2 hours a day on social media, but cant take the time to learn "pip install" to gain back their tech sovereignty, that they supposedly care about, do they even care???

Yes but there has been a cultural and technical shift on the internet. Your average AOL user was not out running witch hunts against people they ideologically oppose, you couldnt mass blast your shitter post to your 5m followers and change public opinion over night, You were not linked by your real name to your employer, your ssn address etc was not leaked 5x to sunday.

The landscape has changed "at this point".

The biggest issue besides the llm is

a tool to download a user’s public posting history through the lemmy API

I think this needs to be very clearly explained to users in general. In the name of public education.

Your posting history is public, and can and will be used against you. At this point in time, anything posted on the internet is essentially permanent public history. It's in a database somewhere that can be leaked or scraped.

This is not a lemmy or dbzer0 problem.

The "anti-science nonsense" of today is the "we should of known" or "it was obvious" of tomorrow. At this point "trust le science" is just another tool in the hellscape dystopia we live in.

Is there a different, more free lemmy instance that doesn't censor wrongthink?

Its pretty wild but not unexpected to see one after another lemmy instance self-destruct in a race towards thoughtcrime.
