I don’t see how.

Internment. Similar in some ways to the (many) British crimes during their occupation of Ireland.

Yeah. The word settlers is outrageous. It sounds passive and uneventful. It frustrates me so much that it gets used. I get that when a situation is contested and unclear it’s important to mainly describe what is unquestionable, but that’s not the case here.

Fair

I appreciate the reality check.

Has anyone used these or the previous model who can comment on their lifespan? Since there isn’t a typical operating system to become unmaintained I’d hope they could last many times longer than a smartphone.

Oh, that’s fantastic advice. Thank you!

Thanks very much for the explanation. I’ve installed NextDNS in my phone now and will do other devices as I get to them.

I don’t recommend Mullvad, and I appeal to everyone to stop recommending them. The monies they receive directly funds fascism and is responsible for serious harm to society and erosion of democracy.

Thanks for the tip. I can’t find pricing on the NextDNS site. Is it free?

Don’t think I have the spoons for things like PiHole.

Edit: found it via web search https://nextdns.io/pricing

I don’t know if we’re having the same conversation.

Meta is the right arm of the Trump administration.

I don’t understand why so many commenters are removing the child victims from this situation and pivoting to “consenting adults”.

The petition does not aim at what consenting adults do together. It concerns the production of pornography and it’s consumption.

Whether via sexualisation or simply memeification, it does frame school uniforms and school girls as sexual objects. Male peers of schoolgirls have easy access to such materials too.

We already know how easily psychological associations are formed (see Pavlov’s dog). But whether a child or an adult, making such a psychological association with schoolgirls and their clothing is surely “unnecessary”? There is an infinite amount of sexual material already available.

Give the children what they want. You won’t notice the difference.

Media literacy is essential but not enough. Disinformation is effective because in sufficient volume it bypasses our cognitive mechanisms.

It’s a pretty well supported argument, actually. But by all means vibe away in the comments.

Sounds like you’ve really looked into it!

How about you let consenting adults do what they want?

The young girls and women don’t consent to being perved on in public and online. The problem is no doubt amplified by such suggestive and explicit material online. (Not to mention denudification apps).

The point of this is to reduce the association that happens where girls and women’s dress titillates the fantasies (and what, unfortunately follows) of mostly older men.

You’re right that anyone with a fetish for school children will have fewer avenues to practice that fetish, but that’s not a bad thing. I don’t know why you’re more concerned about the latter than the kids.

I can imagine. The keys here are consent and choice.

There are many positives to uniforms. But requiring girls to wear skirts and not allowing them to wear trousers is a red flag that should be addressed.

Fantastic news. Sing hallelujah!

… and that is why John Connor is still alive.

Yet on further reflection, I can now confirm that John Condor has in fact been dead since 1842, so I should retract my previous incorrect admission that John Condor has not been killed. I mistakenly thought you meant John Condor when in fact you meant John Condor. I apologise again for my continued mistake, but I’m happy to reconfirm that yes, John Condor is no longer alive.
