If this is the reason you want a cell phone, your efforts are misplaced. Most of these sort of sex offenders are parents, relatives, or friends of the family. Those are the people your kid would need to record.
You would be more likely to protect your child by making him wear a helmet along with his seatbelt or feeding him food that doesn’t suck.
No. I’m proposing that there will be issues once China gets slaves of it’s own.
My concern is that there aren’t enough resources to go around.
1st world countries live off of the work of China and 3rd world countries. If China becomes a 1st world country, we will all need to get our products from somewhere else. China has more people than Europe and America combined.
If I was a foreign intelligence agency, I would hack into the network of the"prediction market" and look for government personnel making bets. It would be a great way to collect covert information.
I’m in the same boat. I even tried emailing them my license. There is nothing I can do to delete my account from highschool.
While you’re correct, the cumulative effect of lower class and middle class Americans on 3rd world peoples dwarfs that of the upper class. It takes a lot of time and resources to maintain the lifestyle of a single person working 40 hours at McDonald’s.
His consumer products were made in 3rd world factories polluting their local environments and the coffee he’s drinking was bought for less than a dollar a kilogram from a farmer destroying a priceless rainforest. When this impact is multiplied by three-hundred million, the effects are as dramatic as they are unsustainable.
…I try not to think about it. It’s a conflict between guilt and gratitude.
It has nothing to do with your privacy. The comment I’m responding to has to do with driving while tired. In my community, not driving while tired isn’t an option. I’d need to spend $70 per day to ride five miles with Uber. “Personalized pricing.”
If I can’t sleep well at night, explaining it to my boss and skipping work is not an option. I’ll gladly document my occasional sleeplessness and apply for disability, but I have my doubts on whether this will be effective. If you can find me a place to live that doesn’t require work or money, I am open to safer alternatives.
From a global perspective, lower class Americans fit the criteria for being rich. The true conflict is between 1st world countries and the global poor.
I have some pretty contrarian opinions, at least in the context of Lemmy. I used the pet example because I have a cat. I love my cat, but whether or not the people who make my products love cats doesn’t concern me. They’d need to be in a position to actively harm my cat to justify a boycott.
This doesn’t bother me. The gays have won equal rights. Their push for acceptance and parity with straight people has been wildly successful. It’s like if I found out the CEO of a company I love financially supported anti-pet lobbying groups…good luck taking away people’s cats and dogs.
The only rights gay people might have not won involves adoption, but I feel like thats anti-man more than anything else. Society doesn’t feel comfortable giving a person a child unless there is a woman involved.
I might be in the local minority, but I feel as though there are going to be major job shortages due to AI obsolescence. Since it will be a global phenomenon, this trend will lead to an influx in illegal immigration. Two new citizens will turn into ten new citizens in a few decades, and the quality of our universal basic income will be inversely proportional to the number of unskilled laborers.
… with all this being said, I don’t understand why the people on the internet are against immigration enforcement. The majority-both Republicans and Democrats-oppose having an open border. I don’t understand why this is perceived as a Bipartisan issue.

If you can limit things to one bot per person, it will solve the problem. One bot per person is equivalent to traditional cat fishing.
Personally, I don’t think anyone should get anything back for unnecessary luxury items like video games. Food and health products? Maybe. Video games? No way. If you’re willing to pay $90 for a video game designed for five year olds, you can afford to take the hit.
I think it’s presumptuous to assume that the increase in prices that just happened to be identical to the tarrifs had anything to do with the tarrifs.
…I’m pretty sure reading about psychology or neurology would be more relevant than reading about communism. Communism might be interesting in a historical context, but it’s not science.
I’m pretty sure the reason tech employees hate it so much is because it’s an existential threat to their profession. If it wasn’t, they wouldn’t spend so much time talking about it.
If their purpose is to extract resources from 3rd world countries and distribute it to 1st world countries, then they are actually great at what they do.
You’re preaching to the choir. China does have a large middle and upper class, but this only because of its large overall population. Most people in China make less than $7500 per year. They don’t have much leftover after buying food and rent.
It would take a lot of Vietnamese, Cambodian, African, etc. laborers living in inhumane conditions to give the over 1 billion people in China a 1st world lifestyle. I think this is more or less the point of the Belt and Road initiative. They are competing with Europe and the United States to obtain a “low-income” workforce.
…on the bright side, AI might make it possible to remove slave labor from the equation. On the dark side, 3rd world countries that can’t afford this technology will be pretty much fucked.
