  It is a bad look to suggest that parents should provide guidance to their kids online, we'll just pass more laws to make tech companies responsible for that.

  My favorite moral panic will always be that the teddy bear will make young girls to not want to be mothers & keep house. So little has changed, we still have men upset that women might not just be breeding stock & take care of the homes for their menfolk.

• On the post: Afroman’s Defamation Trial Is Going About As Well For The Deputies As Their Original Raid Did

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 18 Mar, 2026 @ 03:44pm

  There were some people who were of the thought that the reason some of the charges survived was because the Judge is elected and well if the cops turn on you you are out of a job.

  And how fast will this money disappear into the gaping void of financial gains? Its going to vanish, just like all of the money that was given to the ballroom plan that no one knows where it went after the entity holding it was dissolved because filing required documents is for others not the god emperor. Guessing its heading to that bank account they setup for the profits from the oils they stole from Venezuela where they outright admitted they put it to keep the courts & Congress from doing anything.

  I was a little confused that the court decided that the side who didn't use the insane AI crap deserved punishment for not checking & verifying everything in the opposing parties filing soon enough.

• On the post: Turns Out The DOGE Bros Who Killed Humanities Grants Are Kinda Sensitive About It

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 16 Mar, 2026 @ 02:46pm

  It might cause reputational harm!!! They took the actions, are we going allow them to pretend they didn't? Self inflicted stupidity is not a protected class. Death threats are bad period full stop. Calling them unqualified slackjawed racist fuckwits really seems to fit their behavior & be well deserved. They managed to admit the quiet part out loud, if it was focused on anything other that white people being awesome it was "DEI" and needed to go. Understanding why white people attacked people they see as "others" isn't important, white people are always perfect & deserve to crush anyone who refuses to recognize them as their lord & master. Humankind to them is only white humankind, because they are simultaneously masters of the world and the most downtrodden victims. All they managed to accomplish is to make it clear that they were not hired for their merit, they were hired because they believe they are better than anyone else because they are white & they answered to the dumbest, white man on the planet who claims he is a visionary while melting down if people don't worship him.

• On the post: Joseph Gordon-Levitt Goes To Washington DC, Gets Section 230 Completely Backwards

  Dear JGL Its been over 30 years since slavery was outlawed, we should reexamine that law to update it and maybe sunset it. Maybe people should be able to own a FEW slaves. The people who gave you money to speak, because if they didn't pay you to be this big of an uninformed dumbass my god you're so much dumber than I thought, were not telling the truth to you... why is there such pushback? Perhaps consider you've been lied to & are being used to promote something horribly bad for regular people on the internet. Some horrible things happened to some people on the internet, and while you feel bad for the parents the platform didn't cause the problem, someone else did. But its a much better payday to sue the platform rather than the person who created the bad thing that lead to the horrible outcome. Why are they not suing the phone makers for displaying the content? Why are they not suing the internet providers for transmitting the content? Because juries would laugh them out of the courtroom. Because the bank robber drove away in a Tesla, the bank can't sue Tesla, but you decided because it is on the internet logic & reality no longer need to apply. Maybe stop patting yourself on the back & perhaps talk to people who are actually familiar with the law or hell read some 230 content here on Techdirt & educate yourself about the truth not the bullshit being fed to you. But you have already tripled down on sucking off Ted Cruz & Heritage so I doubt you would even bother. Hope the check was big enough when they purchased your soul. The harm you are causing will & should hang around your neck forever, but the redpill mattered more to you. Fucking loser.

  "“found no evidence of access beyond the researchers involved.”" Well you also thought your product & backend were secure so maybe farm that review out to a security firm.

  Jackass with a 40 Suburban Caravan of cars trying to negotiate the narrow streets & making athletes late to their events because he is in the way. Flew in an entire plane of food, because I guess Italy is a 4rd world nation with no cuisine. I gotta think these boos hit much harder, because its really hard to claim that the audience was all Soros paid professional agitators, and they might have to accept that he is truly & deeply despised globally.

• On the post: Newly Public Emails Sure Make It Look Like RFK Jr. Lied To Congress About His Trip To Samoa In 2019

  OHAI Strangers!!

  Oh look... something you've been missing... My shocked face. But this is very on brand right now... They claim to be worried about children, they are protecting pedophiles. They claim to be worried about children's health, I expect them to promote polio parties next week. Everything he does is to make himself & his cronies richer, and all it costs is the lives of children. Next time you deal with an antivaxxer, just ask them how many more children need to die of measles before they are willing to consider perhaps they were wrong.

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 04 Nov, 2025 @ 03:56pm

  It was nice that the sheriff kept talking and removed any possible route for him to play this off as anything other than yet more unamerican bullshit. I look forward to the DA and the Judge trying to explain their involvement in this bullshit away, because keeping people in jail for months over a picture really does sound like they were punishing him for speech they disliked.

  I think it was Southpark that did a scene from ET where they turned all of the weapons into radios & the radios where still shooting... its not the radios that are the problem its the complete lack of will to include responsibilities with those rights its the complete gutting of mental health care instead thinking angels & demons cause it & if you love jeebus enough you can get better Billions flow into cops who have literally stood around with their fingers up their asses rather than protect children. How many treatment centers could we staff with the cost of all of the bearcats in every little podunk city in the nation?

• On the post: America Is Drowning In Scam Calls And Texts And Donald Trump Is Making It Worse

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 08 Oct, 2025 @ 01:55pm

  It would be a shame if someone got the personal cell numbers of the administration and seeded them in places robocallers gather numbers. I think it is run much like comcast works. You get into office and you get the REAL support phone number where they come right out to fix things when you will be there rather than sometimes in the next 8 weeks we might slow down to 15 as we roll past your place. I wouldn't be shocked to learn that some lobbyist gathers up the numbers at the start of each cycle & adds those numbers to the if you call these numbers we will sent a hitman for you list. Congress lives in this insane bubble & ignore anything we complain about because... its not happening to them so it can't be happening like that. How fast do you think Comcast would end up in a hearing if they were forced to use the same support the rest of us get.

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 07 Oct, 2025 @ 03:54pm

  Sorry about the crow, but I salute you owning the error. Given that this administration lies regularly, its very hard to accept things they claim are true. His autism tattoo PROVED his membership in TdA!!! Statements and written releases often are not worth the paper they are written on. (just ask some judges) I still have faith in you, mainly because you don't mumble you might have misreported something, you admit fault, accept fault, explain how the fault came to be, & promise to try harder. As a small consolation at least your not the background check service they were using. Does anyone think that at the same time they filed the lawsuit they considered the very serious problems if they replied on the same service to review others who now have access to children?

  "Aren’t defendants clearly circumventing my order?" Well yes, yes they are. But they are relying on you pretending they didn't really MEAN to circumvent it & let them slip past you so they can get their photo ops. Its not like you can or will do anything to them, they didn't listen to this order, what do you think you can do about it?

  I for one am looking forward to the upcoming 60 Minutes special on how the reptile aliens are causing chem trails to make parents forget about their kids so that the evil evil pedotraffickers can abuse them & harvest them to live forever. 'Merika the land where facts don't matter & the explanations are all made up.
