There’s a tamper-proof seal on the bottle

Lol ok whatever you say. Enjoy the consequences of letting the uneducated run things

And, pray tell, what library or school has pornography in it that is easily accessible to minors?

Furthermore, having lived my entire life around educators and now working for an educational institution: parents are fucking stupid lol

The sheer numbers of videos of parents bitching and crying at school meetings or libraries about “X book is pornographic” or “this book has witchcraft and should be burned” is absurd. Those mouth breathers don’t even know how to critically examine a fucking facebook post for bullshit, let alone comprehend the difficulty in teaching children.

Don’t like your kid learning about how Trans people exist? Go fuck yourself and homeschool your kid so they can be permanently stunted in terms of preparation for the real world. Let the vast majority of regular people make sure their kids grow up socially aware and at least passingly prepared for the future.

Also, “this will be the law?” Have you seen the flailing Republican party? Guess what fucker - the average American thinks project 2025 is batshit and the republican party got hijacked by a manchild and ruined their stupid plans. It’s only downhill from here now that they went mask off - most people think they’re nuts.

What a weird thing to say

Usually, they are used to burn books :/

There is still a footprint of “person is watching X, then they go to Y” with or without an account by my understanding.

Its less valuable data, sure, but it all feeds thr algorithm

Again, the point is that those accounts are still users that can be pointed out as such for all to see. Remember: a youtube account is just a Google account.

One could argue that youtube is a highly effective loss leader - people get into the Google ecosystem because of making an account to subscribe to their favorite content creators. Now Google has data they can sell, and metrics for advertisers to go “I see 18-30 year old white guys who watch things about X are likely to respond positively to things about Y.” The algorithm, even without advertisements, is constantly building a profile of every user.

It still goes to active user counts though. There will still be a footprint left by any view and that can be marketed as “we have X million users daily!”

They are still a metric they can peddle to their advertisers to show “how many people see this ad in a month.”

Hoosier here…yuuuup

The pockets of blue are growing a little bit in some of the more affluent areas just outside of Indianapolis like Carmel (or, at least, it’s more purple than it was 20 years ago).

I’m hoping as remote work continues to grow, people move here to change the place because of how cheap it is - even in like the heart of Indianapolis lol
