That would assume dad has the time and energy for that. In a world where both parents need to be working in order to survive. Most people have no clue how any of the digital world works, but we somehow expect everyone to master it all when they have children?
Wild take, tbh.
I need to confirm my online purchases through my banking app. But I willingly dont connect my banking details anywhere.
I find it weird that payment details can be stored for one-click purchases later on. It is just so highly and easily abused.
We dont accept this kind of payment behavior at a store for obvious reasons, but online it is considered normal? I guess it maximises profits, which are important.
And when these carefully designed systems for low barrier purchases are abused by a child, all responsibility goes to the parent?
Wild how normalised this behavior is.
That the CC can be used without any form of validation seems to be a problem here.
If Google would just verify the security code or something, couldve easily claimed the user made a willing purchase in such case.
But removing such barriers is more profitable.
The guy you’re responding to has a valid point.
No way the son would get away with these actions at a physical store. “My dad was in here earlier, you saw him, i like to keep using his credit card tho, thanks”
Gee, I wonder why scamming is so huge after turning the digital market in to full “end-user responsibility” and tech companies removing carefully curated practices over the centuties for profit maximization.
Google earns billions of these scummy tactics to get users to spend as much as possible by removing any barriers of control and security. Why dont they get any of the responsibility?
Having an adblocker is basic security.
Try to contact Google as a user.
How easy a company is to contact is very telling.
You can speak to someone at Google for sales within 5 minutes tho.
Plenty of videos exist. Depends which news you follow.
To many people gather their news and information from their colored bubbles that are ‘guided’ by alghorhytms for propaganda purposes.
You can see it clearly on reddit and lemmy too, certain obvious directions of newsbait. This post, 27 likes. The stuff about Ed Sheeran, dozens or items, hundreds of reactions.
It’s not even just the bot armies and alghoritms changing people’s opinions, most people also just dont give a shit because bubbles are comfortable.
So, it’s just popcorntime with a new name?
It is funny, because the current anti-Ed narrative is being run by similar rich boys and PR.
It’s not about gaza, it’s about creating a bigger wedge between western nations and within western societies.
Ya’ll are being played.
If children in Gaza matter, why dont the children in Burkino Faso matter? Where entire villages are ethnically cleansed until the last person. There is an actual genocide going on in Africa, nobody gives a shit.
Why dont the over 200.000 dead children in Iraq and Afghanistan by the hands of Americans in the past 25 years matter?
Ah right, those poor souls dont matter because it’s not politically adventageous for them to matter.
The problem with the Epstein files is that it doesn’t just list Trump as a participant. That’s why he used it as a bluff that helped him get reelected.
The Democrat party didn’t release those files either and they won’t release them any more than the files already are until a whole lot of ancient influential fucks kick the bucket.
He and the rest of US oligarchy are making money hand over fist. Not like Trump actually gives a shit. He’s playing his voters, his opponents, us all. I shouldn’t be here driving this bullshit engagement but I’m bored, it’s all part of his grift.
US should let Seal Team 6 handle this new oil crisis like they handled Bin Laden. Just send the them to Putin’s Datscha and boom, Russia would retreat from Ukraine, Ukraine would stop hitting Russia. Problem solved.
By invading countries that have nothing to do with it, taking the better part of a decade doing so before finishing the task?
I dare to say that EU’s growing independence from the US is part of the hostile approach the US has walked for the past decade or so.
It didn’t start with Trump and didn’t stop under Biden.
The UK is just as big of a US influence risk to the EU and there’s talks of allowing them back in.
Canada basically borders the EU, I don’t see why not. The more the merrier. We will build our own NATO, with blackjack and hookers.
Every single time I see generic people voting (economic) right wing this Futurama scene comes to mind:
Nixon: Alright, listen up, nitwits. Who here is tired of illegal space aliens taking our good Earth jobs? [The crowd cheers.] Me too! So if I’m re-elected, I promise to big a really big Dyson fence across the Southern border of our solar system. [The crowd cheers.] And furthermore, by golly, I promise to cut taxes for the rich and use the poor as a cheap source of teeth for aquarium gravel!
Fry: Yeah, that’ll show those poor!
Leela: Why are you cheering, Fry? You’re not rich!
Fry: True. But someday I might be rich, and people like me better watch their step!
Indeed, new? I went to the US 15 years ago and it was normal to have this walking fossil greet you at walmart.
It does the same no, stream your library anywhere. Thats what Jellyfin does, Netflixify your personal library
That is nonsense and just plain dumb. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Modern day agriculture is reliant on livestock to keep our current levels of farming efficiency. Farming aimals is a requirement for modern agriculture.
We just eat to much meat, eating no meat at all will cause so much more problems than veganism would solve.
Yeah, it was the universal health care threat to US hegemony, not the US projecting their power at any cost.
Yeah this totally warrants the first course of action the American people take against, not even a scumbag, just a mediocore jerk.
Meanwhile, trump is president, musk is still there, the whole epstein thing, the US ranking #1 on the crimes against humanity in this century.
But frontpage full of Ed being a jackass.
It is quite entertaining to see this be so popular among the American people. Yes, Ed Sheeran should absolute be on the top of the list of people to be canceled.
