Of course it won't be 100% effective but damn it's a good idea and you have to rip the Band-Aid off somewhere.
I just wonder how long it will take the kids will find a workaround.
Besides children, the people who really don't like this would be ped0ph1les and perverts.
I’m only stating facts. There is no way to enforce this ban. It’s all for show, and nothing more. It’s the moral equivalent of wishing on a star.
This is the moral equivalent to what they’re doing in Australia: A person is swimming twenty-five yards out in the water, when he suddenly realizes he can’t make it back to shore.
He sees people on the beach and he begins to call to them just as he begins struggling to stay afloat.
The people on shore hear his cries and look out on the water and locate the struggling person.
But, instead of heading out on the water to effect his rescue, they all begin praying that he gets saved. They all pray really, really hard.
And, he slips under the water and drowns.
Here’s what they all say afterward: Well, we did something. At least we tried.
Same thing.
Same Same
They can now claim, with puffed up chests, “Look, everyone! We did something,” even though it’s totally and utterly meaningless!
However, if we accept that this is whistling in the wind, then, as a very smart man, what do you recommend should be done short of shutting down the internet?
In a perfect world, more parents would be more attentive and protective of their children. This is not a perfect world, however. People are flawed.
The ironic part is that government is made up solely of people. As stated above, people are flawed.
Why should we, then, trust government to always do the right thing, if the people in it are just as imperfect as the rest of us?
One thing is for sure: we can always trust the government to make a bad situation worse. Not even religion has had the ability to make the world right, and religion has been around far longer than government. The problem with religion, is the same as the problem with government: there are people involved in it.
A problem exists, and government’s solution, more often than not, is to make feel-good empty gestures for bragging rights, that is, when it's not trampling all over human rights. Doing “something" then becomes justification for spending more of our hard-earned money, just to micro-manage our lives.
The solution is to stop wanting the government to fix our lives and to take responsibility for ourselves. Modern societies have become far too reliant on government to solve their problems. That nonsense must stop, because government, whether through sheer incompetence or maliciousness, will ultimately be the end of human dignity and the death of humanity.
Why is it always a worst case scenario?
Government has been usurping the family unit for decades now. Look at the cities with the worst crime statistics. The family units are virtually non-existent in those communities, because government stepped in and told people, “You can’t do this alone. We’re here to help.”
You destroyers just can’t leave things alone.
Why not a blanket ban for all users.

Would you kindly share your thoughts on profiles that are predominantly comprised of AI generated images? The reason I ask is that there has been a referral to the Evaluation Panel for the deletion of Evlin303. I believe I have an understanding of your tolerance toward members that post internet pics so it would be great to have an understanding of what your opinion is with regard to AI generated images. Thank you.
This site was created for people to post their own images and videos. I am ONLY tolerant of internet images because, if I weren't, many members would end up reporting each other over memes and tributes. Most people here cannot (or pretend they cannot) understand the difference between those and third-party porn taken from internet. I know this from experience - I've tried explaining fair use concept many times with little success. Therefore, I must tolerate internet images, as long as a member doesn't make a habit of posting them predominantly or pretend they are personal.
The same reasoning largely applies to AI content. I cannot forbid it completely because people might use AI-generated memes or apply fantasy-style modifications to their own photos and videos. That is a form of art, so a complete ban isn't feasible. However, if I see an account that predominantly posts AI images completely unrelated to their own, I will delete it.
That said, I barely look at the uploads on this site. I built it for you - the members, so you can collectively decide what kind of content belongs here. Please stop asking for my opinion and using it as an argument against other members.

Although the article said something about “free socks”, the $15.xx receipt screams otherwise.
All this hopping around smiling and dancing and spending small fortunes on useless trinkets and being reminded of how much of my famly is dead and gone, just seems appropriate for my mood.
NOw if they come out with a Scrooge Meal, I will damn sure get 1!
The Walton’s got nothing on you! Wouldn’t it be nice if during the 2025/2026 winter season for you to update and post more photos of snowfall taken on Graff’s Mountain? Just sayin’………
