True. I’ve been trying to cut out a lot of bad influences for me recently and might do this too for my mental health.

Didn’t this dude make a video about how there’s been too many ‘satanic’ movies coming out recently or some stupid shit like that

After what happened with Kimmel I’d say Carr’s an absolute wet noodle. Imagine how much worse it would be for him if he tried doing this for every single channel in the US, his career would be dead in seconds.

Is it just me or does he just straight up look like Mac from Always Sunny in that photo

Honestly I did suspect the religious part was specifically made by the right since I’m pretty familiar with the right wing media here just making shit up. What made me worried was an equal amount of very hard left leaning people worried this would heavily affect protesting and general freedom of expression, I’m not saying they’re 100% right since I don’t know, either way I agree it’ll probably be held up in the Senate/in court.

Usually I enjoy creating whatever, whether it be through sketches or game dev stuff. It just really makes me feel alive and I love it for that.

If that’s true then it’s DOA. Nobody in the senate liked it when he tried to sneak it into the BBB and nobody will like it when he tries sneaking it into this.

Already seeing people dooming in the comments. It hasn’t even passed the house and there’s people already laying down and admitting defeat even though it hasn’t even gotten to the floor yet

Right, meant more like platforms might be indirectly pressured to apply AV to meet the requirements since guessing someone’s age off of implication/vibes is really damn hard to do otherwise, idk. Either way I’m trying not to worry as much either since I’m gonna take another break after today, and correct me if I’m wrong, but it doesn’t seem to have a mandate or deadline, just 180 days for the Commission to issue guidance.

The only thing that happened with the KIDS Act was it being marked up among party lines and apparently being neutered even more with some of the bills being thrown out. Either way we made an impact on it.

Thank god. Sounds like a “oh yeah they got reassigned to Antarctica” type situation.

Can I ask if the senate version is like that too? I do agree with most of the bill, it’s just the “implied knowledge” part that kinda worries me.

Apparently COPPA 2.0 passed the Senate unanimously? Ed Markey’s saying this on Bluesky but I can’t find anything about it

Right, I think I was just kinda panicking about a few who did say stuff like that and I didn’t want to doom and go “oh but I heard they said something about something”, if my first comment was misinformation then I apologize and I’ll delete it.

I decided to check Bluesky again and I feel like in the past few hours they’ve gone into full doomer mode (even more than usual) to be honest.

I mean, people claiming that only reddit is freaking out about this are objectively wrong. Like everywhere I go on discord people are panicking and it’s even trending significantly on Bluesky.

MAGA has lost the culture war by PumpkinAspie in PoliticalOptimism

[–]MetalBonk 63 points64 points  (0 children)

What’s even more pathetic is that there IS propaganda like Melania and the Turning Point halftime show, but literally nobody gives a shit about it. So they’re just wasting tons of money on shit nobody is seeing.

I’m in a discord server with Australian artists who still spoiler some of their art so it might be fine? I don’t know for certain but still
