  • and the government would have to explain precisely why they decided to ban all Google services over a song about freedom.

    They wouldn’t explain shit. This is an authoritarian government we’re talking about; they have near total control of what information gets to their populace.

    More likely they’d just accuse Google of supporting terrorism, and make a show of raiding their offices and jailing their local executives.

    I don’t think the people in charge would last long if that happened, considering how integral Google’s services are to many people’s lives.

    This is China we’re talking about. Chinese equivalents to nearly every big tech service are more than present and accounted for, even often preferred by the local populace. Hong Kong is a little different, but the CCP still exerts near total control there.

    Standard Ubuntu should have you covered.

    One word of warning though, don’t be too egregious with the parental controls. If your kids are motivated enough, they will find a way around it.

    Education really is your best weapon here. Tell them about the dangers of the modern web and computing.











  • And other countries are relevant to Mango Mussolini being responsible for the pandemic related economic damage in America how precisely? Surely you are not attempting to move the goal posts?

    No, more like you are once again failing to read and understand.

    My entire point, which I have already literally spelled out, is that while Trump was indeed an utter failure in leadership for pretty much all of his presidency, never mind during COVID, GDP is a shit metric to prove Trump’s ineffectiveness in the COVID pandemic, precisely because other countries that did prepare also had their GDP tank, albeit as a direct result of those measures. You can literally see that much on the graph in the thumbnail of this fucking post.

    That is why I suggested using the number of dead from COVID, which is something the US had in alarming fucking numbers for a first world country, directly because of Trump’s fuckery.

    When you learn to accept your blatant attempt to excuse the utter disaster that 45 was is in fact obvious, perhaps you’ll get mocked less.

    I am literally fucking agreeing with you that Trump’s presidency was an utter disaster. I have literally spelled that much out. Time and time again. You are picking a fight where none exists.

    Fucking. Read. Before. Responding


  • The US had virtually no one staying home. That is a myth.

    I wasn’t talking about the US. I was talking about other countries. I literally said as much:

    The main preventative measure for most countries was stay at home orders for all except essential workers.

    The spread was the result of failed 45 policy, period.

    Never argued against this.

    When you quite carrying water for the failed response, perhaps you can be taken seriously on other points.

    When you learn to actually read the posts you respond to, perhaps you can be taken seriously at all.
