I have experience with this myself. In my country it was rare with black people when I grew up, and there was a lot of actual racism. I was also racist back then because I didnt like black people coming to my country. They were different and annoying. I didnt see any positives with it.

But as more and more black people have arrived in the country, millions of them, they are everywhere. And almost nobody is racist anymore. Its normal for everyone who grows up now. Nobody thinks about it.

So it will be the same with gay people. It will take time but eventually, the generations who grew up with many gay people around wont hate it at all, or think about it. It always happens with time.

Lols :)

Ok, I removed my initial comment about liking it. It was before I understood the real reasons for it.

Its easy to fall victim to this actually. A change in society seems good on the surface, until you get why they are doing it.

Because evil runs these people. Its actually that simple. When these guys speak, its easy to hear they are evil, because of how they speak.

And they know other people are good, so they wont immediately agree with a dystopian society. So you take small steps, where each one looks good on the surface to the billions of people who only hear about this for 5 seconds on the news.

We cant.

Yes of course. I meant that they are part of the social media thing, and they may also be required to implement age verification if things become bad.

America is already deciding almost everything about the internet, through owning the operating systems, the networks, big tech companies, Ai, and so on.

They could make a law that forces all major american websites to require a global auth cookie, that people can only get by doing age verification at some site.

Lol that was a great response.

Yeah another guy here said the same. Thank you!

I need to meet more of you guys in my life. :)

I havent used flouride toothpaste in 15 years and I have really good teeth. I know its sample of one and all that, but I stand by my decision to not use it. Works well for me.

Its very frustrating to watch. :) I used to react with anger to all this but now im just thinking its where those people need to be to get the experiences they need.

It helps if you see life as some kind of school with a purpose for everybody. I dont know if it is. But it helps to see it that way.

Yeah im doing open source, that still feels good. :)

Yeah. If I needed collaboration, I would just whitelist their ips or require everyone involved to use Wireguard vpn, Tailscale or other solutions that allows access without being publically exposed.

Im upvoting you, you put so much effort into this response and made me think twice about it. Perhaps you are right. I would love if you are. And yeah, its australia, not the US, of course.

Ah yeah, I get it. Thank you.

Lol we have a winner here :)

Haha I remember the anarchists cookbook too, I also came across it on bbs’s as a kid. I was never interested in making anything though.

Yeah thanks for that. I dont put that much work into any comment. Impressive!

My opinion is that the US government is in bed with the tech industry and their wet dream together is to watch and control the entire population, on the internet as well as in real life.

Thats why I dont think this is about protecting children. Its just how they get to their end goal of authentication on the internet for everyone. Step one is stuff like this, require id to verify your age.

Step two is to implement it for everyone because “we already have age verification for kids, lets make it more automatic for everyone by letting people authenticate when they use the internet”. Thats how it goes. :)

What, how? They are very loving and emotional. The autistic people ive met are very intellectual and not very emotional… Very much living in their heads. But I have only met like… 3…or something. :)

But yeah, with my experience, I wouldnt put autistic people in the deep compassionate loving category. Maybe im wrong.
