I haven't taken any group or family photos for a good 10 years because first, I hate having my picture taken, but second, that shit will for sure end up online, and I'm not doing that as much as possible. Can't dodge all of the bullets, but I can control what I can control. This is by far my largest online presence, and is decently anonymous. Anyone that's posting their children online is a PoS if they're aware, or at best ignorant shits fucking with the futures of their children.

Unfortunately, I had these conversations with many non technical people around me, and those concerns don't exist amongst the technologically illiterate. There needs to be laws and guardrails in place to prevent this shit.

I feel like, at this point, everyone should just stop using the internet.

Kids still being sampled. Destroy all public facing networked cameras,and the kiddie porn factories still being built. Kill everyone involved.

Or just kill anyone operating a kiddie porn factory. From the fuckers pouring concrete to Sam altman and satya nutella.

Also public facing cameras, indoor networked cameras. Only way.

We'll probably need to make our own internet soon...

No no, it's okay, we'll only use mature hookers this time, talented young ladies-- wait, no

Edit: Lemmy seems to sanitize the URL in links -_- the URL is

"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/roy-moore-denies-knowing-accuser-any-sexual-misconduct-n819791" plus highlighted text "#:~:text=I%20dated%20a%20lot%20of%20young%20ladies"

Is Lemmy not precisely that? I'm having a great time having this be my only bullshit.

We need a Carrington event or the Kessler option to happen to set us back analog and paper maps.

I’m all for it and have been readying for years.

Bring it on Sol. Point it right at us.

I agree. If only it were so easy. unfortunately a lot of progressive activism, community building and support networks rely on this damn internet thing (especially more so since 2020). annoying we all have to partake in this 😑

The power went out in my house for 2 hours the other day. Felt kind of nice.
