I don’t think a flood of low effort games is the solution you think it is…

nice. [/obligatory]

you make it sound as if politicians do things in a logical well thought out manner. It doesn’t matter anyways, politicians will never vote for something that adds restrictions to themselves. Politics is entirely self-interested, and those who are publicly interested get pushed out.

on the surface that sounds reasonable, linking the age to run with the age to retire. If you’re going by todays “retirement” age and social security age…

But what will happen in practice is then the politicians will vote to raise the age of retirement, thereby giving them more time in office. Meanwhile, we’re gonna have a lot more Walmart Greeters than we have positions. (assuming your local Wallyworld still has greeters… and that the greeter isn’t AI)

which I hate… especially the “shorts”…

tween daughter has adhd, easily falls into tiktok brainrot hellholes. Has trouble with self-regulation and self-control… I still want her to have music to listen to and do things (some lofi to study/chill to, etc)… but now, Spotify is yet another vector for distraction that consumes her.

People be like “parent’s should take responsibility for their kids”… I’m like “mf, I’m trying, but every app in the world is trying to be social media” And the parental controls they offer are shiiiiiiiit. Because it’s not in a companies best interest to provide parents with tools to limit features.
