I can’t really comment on the European experience though, so I said American, which I am, and which I am qualified to talk about.

Oh, also I have an exceedingly rare hereditary disease, so it feels like a certainty I’ll need it for myself someday.
I believe every American knows someone whose life is made substantially worse because of a lack of access to healthcare.
I want to set this up and learn to use it. I want to keep it and maintain it and wait. Because I’ll inevitably hear from someone that they can’t afford their life-saving medication.
The New Text Document makes this.
Anecdotally, I’m seeing a lot of parents with kids as old as 10 in carts at the grocery store, and those kids are sitting there staring at a tablet or a phone.
As young as 2, also.
It’s constant and nonstop and they don’t look up for anything.
I’m concerned.
Mine has a setting where if a number calls you once, it blocks. If it calls you a second time, it goes through. And it works! I use it all the time.
I know a lot of people still have terrible fanfiction they wrote as teens on the internet somewhere, so the warning is very appropriate.
Slashdot was founded 26 years ago. I’m almost 40, so when I say this, I mean it-
Don’t condescend to young people about being children. You’re just old now. Embrace it. Explain things nicely or be one of those old people we hated when we were young.
I was already pissed, I didn’t need the punch to have a laugh.
I think notspez did it, but they did it as performance art, and I enjoyed it.
Mine was DACHEATED.
Entirely by accident I assure you.
You’re welcome to weird up your ads, also.
I saw… that. But what could someone advertise about it! And that’s a curiosity those links don’t answer…
I wanted to see what kind of ads that might actually be since I have zero concept. I do not recommend typing “semen stealing” into Google innocently and hoping for an answer.
I’m going to have some weird ads now…
I’m a big woman and let me say, let a thousand AI girlfriends bloom.
Yep. I was right. You turned a conversation about “women are being harrassed” into how upset you are that we aren’t talking about problems men face. If you want to advocate for the problems men face, actually do that, instead of bitching when we are discussing problems women face.
This is the most “not all men” answer I could ever imagine. You literally got angry at the data, not because there’s sexism, but because there are other men who exist in other places who aren’t sexist.
It’s well-documented that women don’t go into STEM. When data explains why women don’t go into STEM, getting pissy because there are men who are in other fields who aren’t sexist completely misses the entire goddamned point.
I would like to add to this conversation, “I’ve talked it over with myself and I’ve decided I’m going on strike,” is an extremely powerful thing to say.
…I didn’t promise my addition would be valuable.
