  It’s incredible that NFTs are so terrible that there is scientific evidence that they are contributing to climate change. Even the Earth hates NFTs.

  You know, it’s funny how every time China tries to build a Great Wall, there’s always something that can get around it.

  Right now it’s going through a mark-up session, so it’ll probably won’t be voted on the floor level before Congress leaves for the August Recess. But after that, the chances they will return to that subject and will possibly vote on it.

  When you hear a politician exclaim that they want to “protect the kids” from an issue, you know that very politician doesn’t have any respect for kids.

  You know that NFTS are on their way out when GameStop joins the Blockchain market.

  Gee, The FCC not getting anything done because of an even number of commissioners? It’s almost as if they should’ve sworn in a third member. I don’t know, someone with Public Knowledge. I’m not still stung about that. Noooooooo. 🙎‍♂️

  Idk, I think the phrase “don’t bite the hand that feeds you” is more appropriate.

  This man’s hatred of electric cars is unheard of. What’s next? Him leading angry mobs to hang electric cars from trees?

  Oh my bad, you were referring to policemen. Sorry, I thought you were talking about democrats.

  I got gun-shaped animal crackers! There’s even a Tommy gun and an AR-15.

• On the post: More Than Two Thirds Of States Are Pushing Highly Controversial (And Likely Unconstitutional) Bills To Moderate Speech Online

  

  Cat_Daddy ( profile ), 08 Jul, 2022 @ 12:36pm

  *Breathes Deeply* Boi…

  Listen here, you daft ass. The issue is that two ideological parties want the internet in two radical perceptions. One side wants the internet to be a Wild West for neo-nazis, scum and villainy, the other wants the internet to be a squeaky clean version of Minority Report. Both of these are extremely harmful to free speech and sites, and it makes moderation of content virtually impossible to be enforced. It’s like two toddlers arguing over a toy bear, not aware that it’s limbs are about to be ripped off. The internet functions best on a balance of content and moderation on a global level. When you have multiple states of a nation vying to putting those two extreme visions to practice, you don’t get common sense. You get a clusterfuck.

• On the post: The Moral Panic Is Spreading: Think Tank Proposes Banning Teens From Social Media; Texas Rep Promises To Intro Bill

  

  Cat_Daddy ( profile ), 06 Jul, 2022 @ 10:51am

  Yeah, but I don’t think that is comparable. The judicial overreach is more of a whole level of malevolence than it is one of insanity, meanwhile banning teens from the internet (and actually follow through on it) is just batshit insanity.

  Cat_Daddy ( profile ), 06 Jul, 2022 @ 10:17am

  But in all seriousness, it is astounding that Texas somehow makes an even more nonsensical and impossibly enforceable bill than the last. Putting aside how deeply unconstitutional and pathos-driven this idea is, how the fuck are you going to ban teenagers? Banning teens immediately falls apart just by the fact that a majority of internet users are anonymous and the fact that teens can lie! Plus, what exactly is the punishment here, are they going to put teenagers in prison for using the internet? Everything’s bigger in Texas, including the deficit of IQ points.

  Cat_Daddy ( profile ), 29 Jun, 2022 @ 12:36pm

  It’s still worth trying. I live in a different state, but I’d still try to ensure this shit sandwich won’t make it outside of the assembly. If you try to protest, you might win; if you don’t, they will win.

  Cat_Daddy ( profile ), 29 Jun, 2022 @ 12:32pm

  So this is a privacy bill… that removes the point of privacy. That’s like making a law that in order to enter a grocery store you’d have to burn down the grocery store. That’s kinda batshit insane, if you know what I mean.

• On the post: Clarence Thomas REALLY Wants To Make It Easier For The Powerful To Sue People For Criticizing Them

  

  Cat_Daddy ( profile ), 29 Jun, 2022 @ 09:49am

  Clarence Thomas, I am thinking of a four lettered word. Three of the letters are from your name, two of them are the first letters of your name and surname, the third is the sixth letter in your name, and all you need is a “u.” Switch those babies around and I think you can see past your megalomaniacal high to see what four-lettered word I’m thinking of.
