Fair, that’s the part where I think a parent needs to have the will and authority to say no to their kid, but I understand that can be difficult. This may do some good but as I am sure some loopholes will form and it doesn’t forbid ads 100%, it wont stop Fast Food ads. Even if fast food wasn’t directly advertised, I believe there is more factors, like the availability of healthy options, many families don’t have the time or money to make good healthy meals. This law is a good thing, but I personally don’t see it as a huge win, just a patch that will be touted to solve problems it doesn’t address.

As I said, I think availability and awareness are as big of factors. I 100% believe most Europeans have better access to healthier foods then many americans. Granted ads may spur kids to bug thier parents but if parents did better at saying no, and could give thier kids better options. I think it’s not just a personal responsibility but a communal, a government responsibility to ensure access to information and food are available. When no better options are made available, there is a problem.

Eh? Ads may play a part, but options and parent education are more important. I see people not realizing how bad junk food is for thier kids, don’t have many options or simply dont care.

A kid can see an ad, but a kid can’t buy it. It’s up to the parents to be telling thier kid no, and giving them healthier options. Far better will be Informing parents better strategies on feeding thier kids and ensuring healthy options are readily available.

As long as parents think a cup of soda everyday is fine for thier kid and healthy options are prohibitively expensive (Monetarily or time), we will get nowhere.

Reducing the fare wont get me on the bus. In my city there is a catch 22. There isn’t enough riders to justify routes and there isn’t enough routes to justify riding. I would save $150 a month if I took the bus. But I would spend 100 more hours a month on my commute.

Seems not so much a “tik-tok problem” but example of a 21st century fad.

Fads, crazes, etc. have come and gone. Something able become a nationwide fad overnight is a product of the internet.

Yes. I have win 10 and 11 devices. They both lack certain options and I’ve had to go around them, like using control panel. In this case only the win 11 device is at risk of getting much worse.

In favor of what? I still have to use control panel because some things are seemingly unreachable by the “settings” menus.

It’s been good, pushed me to shop more local.

used to be national chain fast food was cheap, buy a meal for ~$3-6, and local chains / restaurants where more expensive, $7-15.

Now I can go to a sit down local chain for $7-20 or get a fast food for 15-20

Dunno why this got downvoted, not being bit by and getting sick from an animal is dodging a bullet. What, are we supposed to be “It’s a poor 'lil guy, just be happy you get rabbies?”

Quite cringe, but having seen people around college campus with hentai hiodies and lots of “Gamer Supps” shirts, surprisingly not the cringest

TLDR, loveless marriage can suck, alot of time marriage was more arranged then by choice and divorce was nigh impossible, so, most marriages sucked

Some sorta survey/census for the fediverse might be cool

I have family that lives outside of LA, that are still on copper lines for phone and internet. How, idk.

Also, our neighborhood just got fiber access a couple months ago, and we live in a decently large city.

Copper landline for many, is the only option available that isn’t satellite.
