Haha jokes on the kid! My grandmother would buy all sorts of crap only use it once then give it to my mom. My mom has it piled away in a store room and when she goes, I’ll add it to my hoard collection. (Were not super hoard-y and can still walk and use all my furnature, etc, we just cant bring ourselves to throw away things that work, in case we need or want them one day / possibly sell them as collectables, even though they’re worth nothing now…) when I go, the kid will inherent 3 generations of crap. Sucker!

Theres a neighbor that doesnt want to add more ambulances only cause they dont want to pay more taxes. Like dude, we have 4 ambulances for 100,000 people.

Some people just dont care, even when they know they’ll benefit from it, too.

One point of contention. I dont think tangles is some defunct meta app. Texas has recently acquired a contract with a law enforcement surveillance tool called tangles.

Tangles is a product offered by the cybersecurity company Cobwebs Technologies, which was founded in Israel in 2014 by three former members of Israeli military special units. The company has said their products, which are marketed as open source intelligence (OSINT) tools, have been used to combat terrorism, drug smuggling, and money laundering, but Meta has accused the company of operating as a surveillance-for-hire outfit. In 2023, Cobwebs Technologies was acquired by the Nebraska-based tech firm PenLink Ltd.

This tool is out there, and still being used.

Ohhh nooooo! That’s not funny! Well, maybe for the dog.

But, that really sucks for the tech.

Are you actually referring to 1971?

Theres a link to the other article, in this article. Says Kristin Houser wrote it…although you may have a point about the rest.

I would think maybe Sour cream instead of Mayo. Make it more creamy and give it a bit of that acidity.

Bet they use this case as reason to ban abortion pills instead.

Syphilis can hang out for something like 30 years. Maybe they were on a break, or he got infected before they got together.

This is a fair view. I’m not sure anyone has gotten that far, especially outside the country.

Heres an article about a similar bill in Utah, that hasn’t gone into effect yet.

What’s not clear from the Utah bill and others is how the states plan to enforce the new regulations.

I mean if the general consensus is that it doesn’t apply, then, cool.

Maybe someone is better equip to answer this question. As far as I understand, it is up to the social media company, as it is operating in the state. Sort of the way the corporate office of a national grocery store can be sued.

First, it prohibits digital service providers from entering into an agreement with a known minor unless they have verifiable parental consent.

It seems its up to whomever is registering the account. If the person is under 18 they see a scrubbed version, of the person is over 18 they have full access. I’m not sure an ISP has control like that. I could be wrong.

I know with pornhub, the ISP didn’t block the site, [pornhub itself did.](https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/pornhub-disables-website-texas-rcna143502]

Someone can correct me if im wrong, but, pretty sure its any social media. Similar to what happened with pornhub.

According to the Texas Office of the Attorney General, this new law will primarily “apply to digital services that provide an online platform for social interaction between users that: (1) allow users to create a public or semi-public profile to use the service, and (2) allow users to create or post content that can be viewed by other users of the service. This includes digital services such as message boards, chat rooms, video channels, or a main feed that presents users content created and posted by other users.”
