I mean yeah they shouldn't get involved in that. Just let the law deal with the people buying things that would be illegal. And this is also why cash and crypto (for online purchases) are the best way to buy things. Credit card companies should have no say in what people buy.

All it really does is prioritize herd mentality though, like if you don't think like the others then you get downvoted and your comment hidden. I think this is just bad and was the main thing I hated about reddit.

I mean video game addiction is real thing to and it can be pretty bad like some people play games and stay up for days and it affects them badly but video games and porn are two different things. Not even comparable. Also I don't think anyone "dislikes" pornography. But some recognize its harmful effects on the brain and on society so they do their best to not watch it and to quit it. They are not working hard to quit that habit for nothing.

You can just say it instead.

Here I found something for you, you won't need to search for it now. https://neurosciencenews.com/neuroscience-pornography-brain-15354/

Hmm yes porn actually can alter your brain look it up.

While I think lemmy is great compared to reddit I still don't like the whole upvote and downvote system. As it's mostly based on people who agree with something and they will downvote you if they disagree with you. There should just be commends and replies to comments imo. At least downvoted posts don't get hidden from view I guess.

I understand why those people were unhappy about all the covid restrictions but yeah I know that the organizers were racist and that makes the whole thing questionable at best.

I mean yeah some people who refused to get the vaccine could lose their job and all. That was pretty bad in some sense but you have to understand that when there is a pandemic it's important that if a vaccine is out and ready to take it not only for your safety, actually you could be just fine without it yourself, but for the safety of others around you too and those who are weaker. If not taking a vaccine will endanger others around you then you should either take the vaccine or not go to public places where there are many people who could be at risk of dying from the virus. What I was really against is the whole passport thing and how they tried to get you to use some app and tracking you through that which was a privacy concern for me.

If they think that will make more people support the conservatives they are very wrong, if anything it will do the opposite.

That's pretty bad. I don't know if the conservatives would have done much better though in terms of privacy and mass surveillance. I would hope so but yeah Pierre wasn't much help to the party and neither were people like Danielle Smith. Both parties just suck right now and need to change.

Yeah they aren't doing much to protect them.
