       @djsumdog Yes/No. Somewhere in-betweenThe pandora's box has been opened, there was already infinite porn, there's even more now, and there's now infinite porn with AI, nobody is putting all of this under the rug at this pointA lot of the issue would be solved if you didn't give children unchecked access to the web, don't give them smartphones and tablets and bring back the family living room computerMore importantly, give people girlfriends, would solve the rest of the issues. Start regulating dating apps to not be utter fucking shit and undo the feminist bullshit and that would be an immense start already

       The parents can block traffic (buy software or routers) with ease. Some might say, "well they'll just get around it." So? The parent can make their moral stance clear. They might even say, "I look at porn sometimes too, but I feel guilty because I know it's wrong," if they want to be honest. That can instill the value, even if society can't really stop proliferation. The kid knows why their parents believe whatever and can choose to act on it or ignore it.If the parent doesn't care .. then whatever. The kid can hold that value, or go all trad and reject it for themselves. Maybe it doesn't matter and the kid grows up fine? Maybe the grow up to live in a goon cave? Who knows?That's why the age verification stuff is so BS. It's a backdoor to individual digital identities, under the guise of the anti-porns wanting to mandate their ideology on all the "don't cares" because "Reee! No, people are hurting their kids if they don't block their access; so we should block everyone's!"

       @djsumdog Lack of self-discipline is not the same as an actual addiction but shows many of the same behavioral results.

       @djsumdog Somewhere in-between. Any legit concern for the easy access of porn got astroturfed into bullshit with ulterior motives so blatant that NPCs don't see it.

       @djsumdog You don't need to tell me, I'm awareBut yeah, if they were serious about it, they'd make giving kids such devices child abuse, and police would go with confiscation (especially at school, in which, the school would wash their hands of the issue, meaning it's much easier to enforce). That would solve pretty much all of the problems and start morally enforcing it by proxy. The return of the desktop computer at home would also make it so that the next generation aren't computer retards again too as a bonusOf course, some parents won't care, but that would be a start. The problem isn't quite porn itself, you probably heard a story of your father having a Hustler magazine under his bed. The problem is unchecked free access to everything under the sun, whenever, wherever

       @djsumdog @coolboymew the same people who want to cut off kid's weiners and put porn in school libraries are suddenly concerned that kids might access something they ought not, and for that reason, we need verified identification to login tin computers we own...... it's just the outsourcing/externalization of accountability from the people who do bad shit to the people who produce the operating systems you can participate in bad shit with.

       @djsumdog @coolboymew Sadly, most parents are dumb. And even the ones that aren't are likely busy juggling balls to stay above water. That's the real evil of the political push for digital ID and age-gating: it's just the logical extension of the easy tech solutions that most have already been browbeaten into buying into.

       @djsumdog@djsumdog.com Nobody would give a fuck about porn if socialization and sexual life wasn't so fucked up these days. Porn in it's worst form is sexual propaganda to teach young men to mistreat women and become mysoginists, but it inevitably can be a sort of imaginatory aid for people to self regulate their hormonal/sexual impulses.We wouldn't need to be using it if society was set up so as to give people basic human connection needs, but it doesn't. Doesn't mean using it indiscriminately is good but sometimes is inevitable. Asking for people to not consume porn can feel like asking for people to not eat goyslop when the only other option is starving.In reality there are options. Decent man-woman relationships can be formed, incluiding sexual ones, but they sure are a lot harder to establish than they should be. Doesn't mean it's not worth trying.Still, if you consume porn you should be as conscious and careful as you can so that you don't end up consuming degenerate shit or start hating women indiscriminately or thinking that degrading or degenerate acts are normal.In summary, avoid it as much as you can and procure to satisfy your needs/desires in a social way with real women as much as possible (treating them right of course, and with them treating you right too) but it's understandable if you use it if there's really nothing acceptable going on in your life sexually/relationally.

       @djsumdog I think they are unproven and will end up pulled off the market and the drug companies will pay a token settlement for harm without admitting wrongdoing.

       So, Fen-Phen v2.0? I do wonder if it has psychological side-effects. I wonder if it might induce some narcissistic tendencies or other behavior changes. I think adderall does; it's just low-dose time released meth. But it'd doubtful it will be pulled from the market. Look how many people the scamdemic jabs killed and they're still approved. Or look at how dangerous and  ineffective Statins are, and they're still being prescribed all the time.

       @jeremiah @djsumdog @coolboymew So hateful. Expecting "personal responsibility" from people, pretty sure that's a hate crime in all 50 states now. The root issue is that people are now under the impression that the state is not only a source of morals, but also responsible for raising children. Until that belief is shattered, this will continue.

Microslop, google and apple are doing all of that, aren't they ?> don't give them smartphones and tablets and bring back the family living room computerThat's a very good thing but I don't think it's enough, you need a combination of good practices.You have to treat the internet like a library for your kids and a library is curated, either you do it yourself or you pay someone to do it for you.>give people girlfriends, would solve the rest of the issues.> and undo the feminist bullshitThat issue is highly tied to the consequences of the cold war subversion methods that all countries used to do on each other and still do to some extent but now marketing are using these methods on people too.It's impossible to solve without nation wide intervention in lets say just scholarship with nvc. But they won't and they prefer to use the same tactics that brought us in to the current mess.>Start regulating dating appsIdeally what Iceland did is pretty great, you just need to decentralize it and mandate that all local villages host their own "dating" server but not stop individual to host their own, basically what fedi does.Iceland centralizes all of that so that cousins of a too close degree avoid procreating with each other. Thanks to that sort of eugenicism they have the lowest percentage of down syndrome in the world.

       @mangeurdenuage@shitposter.world @djsumdog@djsumdog.com and there's really no material incentive or interpersonal to quit porn.try reading the r/antipornography threads.  shit like "my husband has quit porn for over 2 years now, but i decided to block facebook and instagram and netflix too on the router. also we're still not having sex because i'm still mad that he started scrolling metart nudes when we stopped having sex.  should i leave him?"ask yourself if a typical 19-year-old titstreamer would be that resentful and un-wifeable.  Ask yourself.

       @mangeurdenuage on the bright side parental controls for computers have come a pretty long way. I really don't think they're gonna stumble upon stuff in school computer labs. Then it's just a matter of control at home. It's tough to commit to never letting them have computers or phones cuz then they won't learn how to use them, but it's easy to lock the devices down and if anything I would be happy if one of my kids could actually jailbreak their devices on their own to get around it. That's serious skills Of course my kids don't have these devices yet cuz they are too young, but I worry about this often @coolboymew @djsumdog

       @mangeurdenuage im assuming they will make friends in school who have less attentive or tech-aware parents and have exposed themselves to the things I'm blocking out for my kids. For example: I remember in highschool leaning what proxy sites were because someone else I knew got it working in the computer lab so they could check MySpace.

       @dielan @coolboymew @djsumdog >im assuming they will make friends in school who have less attentive or tech-aware parents and have exposed themselves to the things I'm blocking out for my kids.Don't assume, it's definitively like that.A to counter this issue is to directly teach your kids computing yourself. It's inevitable that his friend will let him use their smart*.If you teach him the basics, he'll quickly be able to see the caveats of these systems. Again you can't compare if you've never known better.I'm only speaking on OS/tool level, for anything web browsing he'll definitively get psyoped by the algos-content like most people.The only way I see to partially mitigate against this on a tool level without needing to get into the psychology side would be just to teach how to use uMatrix in whitelist mode.By doing so first he'll learn that websites inject code and that the main purpose of the internet is to display text and images.But more importantly he'll be able to compare his experience to his friends which are flooded with garbage.As for the parent issue I've got my own non lucrative trying to teach people about such subjects, it requires time but maybe you could propose to teach parents some basics or at least share some documents on the subject ?>Once they know it's out there, they might look. Definitively.

I'll remind you that more and more people can't even see what's happening in their vicinity because of smartphones, so even if there's only a living room computer if the parents are absorbed by smartphones/giant-smartphone (tv) then it's like they aren't present at all.

       I had a computer in my bedroom as a kid, but it didn't have internet. I played whacky wheels and comander keen and wrote stupid little qbasic programs on it. learned a heck of a lot dinking around with it. Just crack open the case of an old laptop and disconnect the antenna wires from the wifi card. Anything they need to download, they can use your laptop under supervision and a thumb driv​e, otherwise let them go nuts with it like it's 1996 🤷‍♀️

       @vriska @coolboymew @dielan @djsumdog @mangeurdenuage most of the world now follows this exact same blueprint (even the "socialist" medicine is just rockefeller medicine with a government insurance corp, nobody stops to note that insurance was always part of the scam in the first place)i think higher education in europe still uses the older europe model, but the elementary schools certainly do follow the serfdom model (esp germany, who invented the prussian slave smashing doctrine in the first place, starts rolling children through planned tracks from 2nd/3rd grade)we had a teacher from poland at my college who talked about teaching in america kind of sucked because the american colleges are just there to induce managed ADHD in to people with constant "pop quizzes" and attendance clickers. the old college model is just "its due on the 30th, show up to the lecture or don't, not our problem you're a fucking adult sort it out."

       @mangeurdenuage @djsumdog @vriska @coolboymew @dielan yes. a lot of things that look like dystopic americanisms have been exported over the years.in some cases directly at gunpoint, as japan's extreme drug policy is a result of american generals installing it there during reconstruction + japan taking everything too seriously.i'm less versed in elementary schools across countries, but japan's certainly is a conformity factory and germany invented the process, the general "it's outsourced day care and compliance enforcement" is just sorta the blanket default, but i'd like to hear of exceptions

       @icedquinn @djsumdog @vriska @coolboymew @dielan > and germany invented the processThat I'm aware, it's in JTG work.>but i'd like to hear of exceptionsI sadly can't say much about France. My scholarship in elementary and middle school was strange due to being isolated by language brain/barrier.So I can't reflect if this was the case or not.

       @icedquinn @djsumdog @vriska @dielan @mangeurdenuage Fucking hated this shit in college here, even in our own weird QC system they did this bullshitWe had 2 mandatory second language English classes. I was above and beyond the material. First class the teacher was an annoying bitch that would preferred to have me being annoying in class (I wasn't, I fell asleep and he never stopped being an annoying bitch about it after) than just let me do whatever the fuck I wanted. I showed up because of the shitty ass quizzes, which I never read the material because you just had to read a single page of text to fill out a simple quiz, I was eating that kinda shit for breakfast for years at that pointIf I could've just showed up for exams, I would have aced everything without even being there, reading any materials, etc.

       @coolboymew @djsumdog @vriska @dielan @mangeurdenuage afaik they do some scientism abuse of "attendance correlates to good grades so we will just mandate attendance."in reality its probably that people who are engaged and also have the ability to engage show up to use the resources (the professor) and thus do better, since poor attendance is more of a signifier of other issues (their life might actually not be suitable for college, as is often the case with broken homes where they're trying to juggle coursework with full job loads)

       @djsumdog @coolboymew The best solution for any parent is to not set up any user accounts on any of the computers at home and instead give their kids one of those flash-drives with a custom Linux distro that has a whitelist of approved websites and software (there are companies that sell them if you can't make them yourself). There is not much to work around if you can only use the computer with said drive and a whitelist. Though the kid may have a tech-savvy friend who may give them a Linux flash drive without a whitelist, but that's probably the only loophole.
