There are very few actual republicans or conservatives now. What you are describing is not historical conservatism either socially or fiscally.

Agreed they make irresponsible choices sometimes, and we can think that policy can protect them, but we have no control over most of those choices when it comes to seeking behavior. Driving starts at early teens a lot of places anyway, and cars can be stolen, and the cost barrier to entry is super high. There're other separate regulations about weapons, and kids with weapons are already getting them from an adult or stealing them, barrier to entry is high for purchase. Sex you absolutely cannot control and thinking you can is absurd for germane topic of seeking behavior, barrier to entry is effectively zero. Drugs are illegal or stolen from the start so moot point.

The only way to really curb any of these seeking behaviors is to educate the child and give them some experience with it. Enforcing age barriers doesn't really work much for these, why would digital age barriers do much for media or anything else? You make responsible people out of children by educating them and giving them responsibility experience to make better choices, and some will always have seeking behavior and age checks don't really stop them... It just invades the privacy of the rest of us.

Protection from media at the government level should not happen, that's the slippery slope. Very few policies aside from educate children about topics, has ever actually helped a child. This shit is about data and overlord control. Devices should not have age verification.

Very little good comes from arbitrary control, particularly based on age, and always has been that way even on other topics that are age restricted. Education is a far more effective means, and doesn't trample everyone.

I know this sounds crazy but we've always been almost entirely composed of not quite fully human robotic childlike ignoramuses propped up by like one in ten thousand "real people."

We should not care about verifying age.

You wouldn't believe what you can write in base64

Ah I see, that's a huge deal then

This only affects Maine and Nebraska who split electoral college votes though yes? It ensures the popular vote takes all, but that already happens almost everywhere?

It's hard to read because of how it's written, but you likely have to read it backwards. People can bear arms, why, Because states may need a skilled well regulated militia.

They already announced it, they're likely half replaced already

Those services don't cost anywhere near that. You're getting fleeced.

Doesn't matter. All you have to do is use at least half and you break even.
