There was at least one firearm banned in Canada, the all black metal and plastic variant, who’s wood stock counterpart was permitted. It was a jab at the smooth brain, black guns are scary, policy makers we have.

I keep reading about how shocked Canada is by this behaviour, who didn’t see this coming?

We have always been on the shit end of the trading stick. We sell energy at a huge discount, we sell petroleum at a discount, we sell lumber at a discount but we have always paid a premium for US imports. Fuck 'em, I’m tired of “the greatest country in the world” getting a deal because our politicians have been kissing their ass for decades.

Canada should be focused on subsidizing domestic prices by making trade agreements where we don’t loose money,

Making driving less convenient (in the eyes of drivers) has the added benefit of reducing traffic as drivers avoid the area. I love when a speed camera or construction happens in my area because traffic gets cut in half.

There should be an immediate ban on assault style vehicles and all vehicles sold with black metal panels instead of wood. Fuel tanks should be restricted to 300km and transmissions should be manual not automatic!

Shit, actually I would kill for a tiny, wood paneled, stick shift car…

wow, guess I have to add an /s to this

Industrial electrician, I have to wait until the parking lot is empty before I leave lest the 100th person ask me to put potlights in their fucking basement.

sometiems you do see stuff you didn’t want to without seeking it out

I certainly didn’t want to see you on the internet today but I’m not calling to cancel Lemmy.

The reason I know about incest games existing on steam is because it showed up on my recommendations or something once, without me actively seeking it out.

Only if you clicked the little checkbox to enable sexually explicit games to be recommended.

I guess just don’t see how they’d think “ok we got rid of the rape and incest, now let’s go Nazi on everything else”

It doesn’t have to be full Nazi, a right wing CEO could decide that all trans content is immoral and should not be sold. This wingnut Australian group already has their sights set on non-hetero games.

so why should people have to see that on their computers in the first place?

You don’t have to see anything online, (unless you are on a mind rotting infinite scroll). When you want to see something or play a game you have to actively seek it out.

This issue is that once there is a precedent set for payment processors manipulating markets they wont stop. Just like the zombies on tiktok that say “un-alive” because they thin the word “died” will have them kicked off the internet, publishers and developers will get nervous that their game may not sit well with a payment processor for some reason like religion, racial heritage, or opinions on sexual orientation and gender, and they will be unable to sell their game.

This content occurs in the Bible, should it also be banned from sale?

Yes.

Crypto was supposed to do this but it’s too fractured and volatile now.

Looking at speeding data in these areas before and after speed cameras were installed, it found that cameras have reduced the proportion of speeding vehicles in urban school zones by 45 per cent.

It’s right in tfa.

Weird, after all those comments about speed cameras not being effective.

Yeah, but I get their reasoning.

Because I have explained at length, my position, that parents should be held responsible for the raising and actions of their children. You have snapped back with “I know you are but what am I?”

Feel free to express your deep understanding of the situation in more than a one-line response.

Listen, you clown. Canada has two options at the federal level, Trump North or Conservative Lite. We got Conservative Lite ONLY because Trump South tried to interfere and failed miserably. If you think for a second that there is a party that would “fix” Canada then you live in a rose tinted fiction.

Mulvad, they offer actual privacy, you can even pay them anonymously via cash if you want. Never had any problems with them.

We have age limits for smoking, drinking, driving, etc. and don’t expect only parents to be involved in that protection.

Uh, if a parent gives their kids smokes, booze or car keys before they are of age it is 100% on the parent.

Parenting is the act of instilling values and teaching the ability to reason out whether a behaviour or decision is appropriate. That includes whether or not to drive a car without a license, whether or not to drink when underage and whether or not it is appropriate to tell your teacher to get back in the kitchen.

So the country being run by corporate interests, eliminating the stay at home parent, is an excuse for all parents to be technologically ignorant, and negligent of their children’s online activity?

The ONLY way children have access to the internet* is if an adult buys a device and hands it to them. The vast majority of kids under 14 is not gonna scrape up enough money for a mobile device that they can use to connect to a free hotspot and be online 24/7. Any internet related bad behaviour is 100% the fault of negligent parents who give their children unfiltered access to the murder, rape. racism and bigotry firehose that is the modern internet.

That’s it.

My friends with kids all monitor and control internet access very closely. And before you say “BuT tHaTs A lOt Of WoRk” them maybe you should not have kids. It is a decision to make and raise a new conscious mind, if that seems too hard then don’t fuckin do it.

*access at school is monitored and hardly equivalent to the hours a day spent scrolling at home.

Hold parents responsible for their failures. Suspend kids for their shitty behaviour, this leave parents to scramble to find childcare or forces them to miss work. After enough financial hits they are going to care, at least tangentially, about their children’s behaviour.
