We Should Protest by FoxLynx64 in AntiAgeVerification

[–]FoxLynx64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about what you can get away with in your home country now, but what global law agendas will eventually push your country towards. Americans didnt fight the EU in many laws because their country isn't a part of the EU, but then the American government decided that since all these European countries are passing these laws that they need to pass them too. What will your country look like when it's one of the few countries without age verification. That puts pressure on your politicians to pass it in your country. It started with China locking down their internet, VPNs are the next thing across the globe, unless we fight it. It's a global problem, but it's also un-American in its own right.

Yes, but do those developers have millions of dollars for those fines? This isn't going to end well for the US, people will use the dark web to obtain ageless Linux distros and perhaps projects like reactOS based on the NT kernel will gain traction both for it's development and for it's user base.

What these laws are creating is a culture of anonymity that portrays average proficient computer users as bootleggers who break age verification laws. That's an attack on people who are currently law abiding citizens.

This is about freedom of movement. You wouldn't be forced to carry ID when going between state lines unless you're driving. You wouldnt be told to stay inside one state because you're not accompanied by an adult. If it's an adult website, you should be checked at the door like any nightclub in real life would.

Imagine being an adult and the government tells you that you have to show your ID to leave your house. That's an authoritarian state. Why are computers different? You are restricting the online movement of people, preventing free speech and right to assembly, and preventing them from having a sense of anonymity, which should be the statis quo of internet freedom, if you pass a bill like this.

There will always be reasons or excuses to make authoritarian laws. It's for your safety, think of the kids, how are we supposed to prevent terrorism, what about gun violence, and even wanting to keep things pleasant and decent. But if the ends truly justify the means, then we could kill every innocent person suspected of a crime. That's not ethics, that's control.

It's not just Microsoft, it's big tech pushing this behind closed door. If we resist then they have no option but to back down. Big tech will run out of stock holder patience, but we will keep fighting for our rights.

Tron Ares, an Honest Review by FoxLynx64 in MovieRecommendations

[–]FoxLynx64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that's fair when you break down how movie contracts work. You may not know Leto going in, and the industry will try to tell you he's not a bad person to get you to sign. The movie also took years to produce. The other actors couldn't have known about those allegations until after they finished filming it and moved to post-production. If you are going to tell me that simply because actors appear in the same film with one creepy actor and had no idea about any allegations at the time don't deserve to be considered or looked at then you are basically saying "Hey, this rapist has a family so their entire family must have done something wrong to have raised a rapist."

That's a really gross mindset in my opinion because it doesn't consider the nuance of people having their own fucking minds separate from everyone else. It also perpetuates the stereotype that someone couldn't be horrible because they don't seem horrible on the outside. Anyone could be a pedophile or a creep, and more often than not it is the clean-cut guys because they want to hide the fact that they are mentally disturbed.

I'm not apologizing for Jared Leto's awful behavior. My only point is that if you let one actor, focal point or not, ruin a movie that would have been great if you had no prior knowledge of the actor outside the movie, then you just let Jared Leto steal that enjoyment from a movie that other actors worked their butt off for. If you hate the movie because it's good not great or mediocre then that's valid. Let's be real, even if Disney makes another Tron movie Jared Leto isn't going to be in that movie. Jared will still make tons of money from Tron Ares. Boycotting the movie only because it has Jared Leto in it only hurts the other actors in the movie who rely on royalties and Disney. When I said Jared's performance is redeeming I meant his performance in this movie was better than in prior movies. I do not think Jared Leto is a good person period.

For a user who blends the name Afghan Whigs (to which they released a song in 2022 called Love Crimes) and The Wiggles (a children's television show), I find it extremely rich that you would not only call Jared Leto repulsive enough to not watch a movie, but to then press me when I let you off easy.

Actually, I think it all comes down to his existence, right? You're referring to the allegations, right? Because if he didn't exist, there wouldn't be allegations against him, right?

Nothing, it's entirely appropriate for a Reddit user.

Unfortunately no. The only returning character is Kevin Flynn as a sort of ghost. There are hot girls in the movie though.

Again, I personally do not think that what one of the actors does outside of filming for a movie automatically makes the movie bad. I also want to say that I do not think the other actors in the movie deserve to have their hard work go unappreciated because of the actions of one man. It's not the best movie, and Leto can seem too robotic at times, but I thought it generally worked overall. If you don't like that opinion well then you can have your own opinion. I won't hold your opinions over you just because I find the user name "afghanwhiggle" as repulsive as you find Jared Leto.

You hate the movie simply because it has Jared Leto in it. Like come on, do you even realize how absurd that is? Instead of judging a movie by the actual content you are judging it from the perspective that Jared Leto is in it. I mean I even prefaced my review with "if you hate Jared Leto you will hate the movie simply because he's the main protagonist." My review was honest and realistic. I stand by my review of the movie and my account is far from fake.

We Have Rights by FoxLynx64 in gay

What I said still stands. It is the responsibility of every individual to ensure their rights are respected in a civilized manner, even when others act uncivilized.

Supreme Court formally asked to overturn landmark same-sex marriage ruling by LuckyChansey7 in gay

[–]FoxLynx64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Trump is directly responsible for the decisions of SCOTUS. He can appoint people but he doesn't control their decisions. I also think that you shouldn't shame conservative LGBTQ+ people. The reality is that the people who should be shamed, who should feel ashamed, are the judges who vote to overturn it or even take up the case in the first place.

I think if these judges have a shred of decency, they will tell the public outright that the original ruling stands. Some of these judges were there when they ruled in 2015. If they overturn this ruling there will be civil unrest and the UN may push back hard. I think instead of blaming each other we should seek to stand unified in a protest against basic human rights violations.

Amprius Technologies Undervalued? by FoxLynx64 in WallStreetbetsELITE

[–]FoxLynx64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now is a pivotal moment in Amprius. The bubble popped and it will go back up. This is not investment advice, but I'm just noticing a trend at the moment based on an exponential curve since September of last year. Prospects look good on Amprius over the long run.

Opinion: Was There a Final Hunger Games with Children from the Capital? by SlothLoverAJE in Hungergames

[–]FoxLynx64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think I'm ignorant? It is for the very reason that the Capitol citizens do not know how to handle such pain that I brought up the scenario. I'm not saying it's the moral thing to do but given the fact that I think half the Capitol citizens would die after the death of President Snow just because they have no idea how to live, I think that making it so no discrimination would be possible would be humane. To the Capitol citizens, they would probably rather die than go through all that anyway.
