No idea what that is but it looks generic as fuck.

That's basically the EU motto: "Sounds good if you don't think about it."

However the more you think about it, the worse it gets.

Off the top of my hat what I have around the house: smartphone, ear buds + charging station, handheld vacuum, flashlight, electric toothbrush, electric bike pump, electric lighter.

And whatever else people might have that's portable and battery powered: soldering iron, screwdriver, multimeter, cheapo oscilloscope, kitchen mixer, oral irrigator, radios, bluetooth speakers, tablets, smart watches, vape devices, electric shaver, portable fans, etc.

Bad.

This will be another "paved with good intentions" clusterfuck.

They don't just talk about phones but all appliances. Look around your home. ANYTHING with a non-removable battery will get more expensive and bulkier.

And you bet they shoehorned a ton of eco crap and bureaucratic busywork in those 129 pages.

GDPR was a total shitfest and did nothing but create bureaucratic nightmares for everyone from hobby clubs to volunteer groups to small businesses.

Big corporations have ways around it and governments ignore it, if it even applies to them.

the guy that got rich off Tiktok, rather than the tens of thousands who tried and failed.

Feels like it's a Ponzi scheme: tiktok, onlyfans, etc.

So the bots were only posting on r/programming? That seems kinda odd if it really was the admins. Wouldn't they do it everywhere or at least some actually important sub? Sounds more like some 3rd party.

They’re very rich (definitely 1%ers)

So she got that house from her parents. It's easy to be an "influencer" when you're rich. You can pretend to be anything if you don't have to make a living off of it.

Plus, the masses have always adored vapid whores. Before social media it was TV, before that movies, before that theater, etc.

Life ain't fair. The vast majority of "successful" people are there purely because of luck, connections or politics, not because of ability.

Stay off of social media, especially trash like Facebook and Tik Tok. It's a showcase for narcissists. People are busy pretending to be someone they're not, showing off things that may or may not be real, and others who are envious of their fake personas.

These rat traps are proven to be bad for mental health.

You'd think actual, practicing martial artists would know damn well how reality works

They do. That's why there are countless age categories in tournaments and men and women have seperate events.

Riiiight ... all you need to do is lift a sword. That's it.

Someone much stronger won't pummel the shit out of you, wear heavy armor on top of the sword so you can't do shit, send your sword flying and chop your arm off while you REEEEe about equity.

Yea, even if they axe all the wokes, Disney won't produce anything worth watching for many many years, at best.

That said, they can't even do that because there'd be next to no one left.

You can vandalize priceless art, government buildings, airplanes and historic buildings. You can block roads for normal people. You can block emergency vehicles and get people killed.

But don't you dare inconvenience the alphabet fetishists and their corporate masters!

Corruption, ignorance of duty and embezzlement? Sounds like just about every government organisation around here.

The bigger they are the worse it gets, the worst being federal ministries which are a free for all for lobbyists and corrupt politicians.

She's a far-left eco-nutjob from the Green party. She has no idea what's going on anywhere.
