Protectionism has historically not done well for any country that's implemented it. If we wanted to improve American industry, then we should be focusing our efforts and dollars on improving local industry to compete.

How in god's good green earth does this law do any of that? It only legally binds American companies, and only where the site is mostly NSFW content.

Want porn? Go to a UK site. Or go to any site that's 70% other content. Or if you're 16 just Google "bikini" and wank to that.

This accomplishes nothing except the illusion of action, virtue signaling to Christians, and restriction of law abiding adults. Waste of time and money. They should be focusing on real things, the like fact Texas is poor and getting poorer.

brain rot

It's a superior algorithm. You get what you engage with.

I'm going to miss the largest community of left leaning American creators, educators, and activists. I've learned so much about politics, social engagement, and community building.

But that's just my feed. I'm sure there's a lot of crap too.

Consequences

Best laugh I've had all week

Sure. But it's still better than what we have

It's not exponentially growing. At best, the growth rate has exponentially increased. These are VERY different things.

It was exponentially growing, the platform would come screeching to a halt and crash.

Under the surface

The numbers are growing

Simply to flip off the US government

We're petty bitches

I love pancakes

They're the best

It's trivial to check which app is #1 in the app stores for social media

You fucking muppet

How's that?

No one is paying per sale. Click through, sure.

Presumably they pay more into the government insurance if they have more to insure. Like we do today with normal insurance. You just call it taxes since you can't opt out. Which is fine because there are laws already saying you can't opt out.

The issue is just with middlemen being incentivized to deny claims to increase profits. With government running it, there's no profit motive so that is fixed.

Capitalists shouldn't want the same. You can't sell advertisements with "a million viewers" if you have to be honest about 990k of those being bots.

Meme or reality? (self.composting)
 

I know it was a thing on reddit, but how does everyone feel about peeing on your compost? Apparently it really helps, but I've never brought myself to do it.

Has anyone created their own instance and modified it? How about the same for the Android client? There are some features I'm desperately missing and I'm not against DIY.
