School cell phone bans have hit most states. Not everyone is on board.
  • Smartphones have other uses, but more importantly forcing anyone to comply with this rule is gonna make them want to disobey more. It's the responsibility of the education system to educate ofc but also streamline education, make it easier. Keep their attention. If the kids aren't distracted by their phones while they hate their school, I guarantee you they'll find other ways to distract themselves. I'd be maybe fine with banning certain apps. I always say smartphones aren't addictive, they're useful. It's apps that are designed to be addictive.

  • American hawks are pushing for a big war in the Middle East, again
  • You make it clear to the democrats you won't tolerate them adopting right wing policies and genocide.

    Democrats have turned against migrants and queer people too. I'm sorry to say this, but the world is unsafe for queer people everywhere, including me.

    If Trump wins democrats would get off their asses and try to block him. Instead they're now totally on board with building a functionless border wall, for example. Remember when people called Trump insane for doing that. Now here we are.

    Vote for whoever you like, keep your family safe. Perhaps I'm the exception, but I will never feel safe again, regardless of who wins, and I'm Canadian.

    No one is free until everyone is free.

  • American hawks are pushing for a big war in the Middle East, again
  • Neither. Leave it blank or vote green, even though they definitely won't win. Giving your vote to the Democrats now, from their perspective, means you're complacent enough to ignore an entire genocide. Your government is absolutely gonna use weapons and tactics against its populace that Israel has been doing.

    And no, Trump doing more genocide isn't a valid argument.

  • Nintendo shuts down Switch emulator Ryujinx
  • I own a Nintendo, and I haven't used it in years. I bought some games which were ridiculously priced compared to what I was used to on steam. I'm rather annoyed they keep their games console exclusive for this reason, they have like a monopoly of a market they control, it feels.

    I was gonna get some more games to put on it, but with then shutting down these emulators, I think I'll use one of those instead. Fuck Nintendo.

  • The Myth of 'Human Shields'
  • The whole human shields thing is such an obvious lie, but they still use it to justify it. Any pretense that there is doubt is good enough.

    It's obvious because the IDF clearly doesn't care about Palestinians dying. So why would Hamas use Palestinians instead of the Israelis they kidnapped? Well, cause the IDF will shoot and bomb the hostages too.

  • Trump is killing free speech.
  • Americans still haven't figured out that when the US talks about democracy and freedom, it's a fucking lie. The rest of the world knows this. Catch up already. Democracy was never alive in the US.
