So they should, child labour laws should apply to these kids just as any other business. The money earned from these videos need to be paid to the child. Even if it’s in a trust fund where the kid can take it out when they’re old enough and can make better decisions. Like child tv stars they need to only have to work a set amount of hours, no longer.

When I say this I’m talking about toy channels, I’m not talking about the mumfluencer channels. This kind of constant forceful filming of their childrens every moment should be stopped, kids need to have privacy, it’s known to be detrimental to their mental health when they’re constantly documented, and they are also far more likely to get bullied because of it.

I can’t begin to imagine all my bad childhood memories being immortalised thanks to a pushy parent who saw me as a money machines more than a person.

As an enjoyer of puns, I agree

I don’t buy cheap shit, stop assuming man. I have never met someone with such a chip on their shoulder Get help

So based on a subset of people who are entitled you are tarring everybody in existence with the same brush. Affordability, cost of living and wages are a whole other fucking issue related to CEO greed. Which is out of the scope of the discussion. The fact you are so bitter about this means it’s probably time to find a new job lmao

Are you serious? Where did I mention buying things cheap? That’s a funny looking straw man you built from nothing. Literal premium flagship phones like Apple/Samsung have planned obsolescence It isn’t about buying a cheap product when a lot of busineses follow such shitty practices

Why are you blaming the consumer for a problem businesses have created. Planned obsolescence, doesn’t matter how many $$$$ you put into a product. It has a shelf life. Especially with more tech

Even if they could invent self-repairing appliances/phones they wouldn’t do it… Because then they couldn’t sell you new thing

The top left one is kinda cool, ngl. Not very effective but think of the jabbing you could do with it!

Mine was lucosade… The orange lucosade reminds me of nosebleeds. For some reason that’s what my mum thought would help me when I was sick and it was always lucosade when I had one… Then the orignal red lucosade I had when it was thundering and I couldn’t sleep because I was scared… memories man lol

I’ve heard hot 7up being a common treatment for illness too, I’m kind of glad I was never given anything fizzy when I was vomiting. I could definitely see it being ruined for me too

I’m sorry to hear that, that’s strong of you to share that. Christmas is already hard enough for a lot of people who lose their family. I can’t begin to imagine your situation, I wish you the best

Something rather cringe and obnoxious in hindsight was the over use of the word “ocd” It was quite common in media and in my circles for somebody to say “I’m so ocd” when referring to some perfectly normal thing they do like tidying bookcases and organising things.

It’s pretty cringy now and I’d never say it now. I feel bad for saying it… but hey personal growth I guess. I was in school/college at the time too so it was a long time ago. There were a lot of things that were common at school that I used to say that are definitely not pc nowadays and I accept that. I don’t pretend to be a perfect and morally righteous invidual. I have flaws as much as the next person

I used to like LG products they were often really good quality and lasted a long time.

That’s pretty much over now, not touching new LG products anymore. That’s for sure!

I had an LG CRT and it was as old as me. Never died. It’s a real shame the planet is suffering because of greedy business practices. They put climate change on the consumer but more needs to be done to big corporations to punish this kind of behaviour.

This is why I like dumb products. The smarter they are the more they tac on this kind of crap to them.

“They’re evolving! - just backwards.” - LG probably

That annoys me, they lost because “might be AI” are you kidding me? The photo does not look AI to me at all. If the photo was edited through photoshop or went through an art program couldn’t they have just asked for the original? That must’ve been infuriating.

Hopefully, Since thread is the new cool thing I hope it survives long enough to do so

Such a good content creator. I highly recommend. That and his debunking of the infinite battery but the solar roadways video soo interesting.

No glass would be able to withstand constant usage. Even the pedestrian roadways struggled with normal usage.

Not even just that… Alienates all potential leftwing/brand friendly advertiser’s through changes and being the spokesperson for the platform.

“We’re down 50% how could this have happened???” - Elon Musk

Dude needs to stfu, make an alt account. He has chosen to be the spokesperson for the platform. Spouting off conspiracies and controversial takes. You can’t be surprised nobody wants to associate with him.

He is a liability and a brand risk. Sure he can have his opinions but here is the problem…

He has chosen to be extremely public and force those opinions onto the average consumer feed due to his narcissistic tendencies and it is biting him in the ass.

No sympathy. He wanted free speech, (albeit it isn’t because he is okay as long as it doesn’t criticise him or his affiliates.) now he has his free speech platform but in the same way advertisers can chose not to engage with it.

It’s the best and worst thing to happen to the internet.

Best because - Twitter is a toxic site, with toxic people and a system that encourages ragebaiting means it breeds it.

Worst because - These negative people need somewhere to go… And it will only force them onto alternatives and fester in new places. Potentially here.

I think it’s a lot more because the internet was a niche. It’s something your parents/family or weird creepy uncle wasn’t on. All these old memes still feel “untouched” by facebook and it feels like an in-joke. In other words memes felt more special.

4chan was onto something, once memes became mainstream they died… a little hyperbolic but they do lose their fun factor being more popular now.

This, and the ability to use flairs would be really useful here on Lemmy. Flairing posts was such an essential way to organise posts on a lot of specific subreddits.

That kind of feature is so needed

Yeah, I can use RIF I am just not logged in which I deleted my account anyway so…
