This is not true. It gives children a false impression of what sex is like in reality. I don't need a scientific paper to tell me that children looking at this stuff is bad.

The rise in the number of incelibates around the world is dangerous and it must be due to the wide availability of pron. Just take a look at what's happening in Japan.

Parents who don't want their children viewing this kind of thing can't block all the 18+ discord servers. (Although I personally don't think kids should be using Discord given the amount of grooming that goes on).

I am pretty sure they are using hashes to stop the child exploitation from being spread on WhatsApp.

If you're going to make this statement, you need some skin in the game by putting your GH in your bio.

I don't have the balls to boast about my code so there is no GitHub link in mine :). There wouldn't be much to see anyway.

Maybe Covid was 'printed'...?

Why say including the engine? Do they sell them without the engine?

> Fraud: Cases where all three of the following conditions apply:

The conditions for receipt of benefit, or the rate of benefit in payment, are not being met

The claimant can reasonably be expected to be aware of the effect on entitlement

Benefit stops or reduces as a result of the review. [1] <

Firstly, the data is only from those who got caught. I would say there is probably a lot more that haven't been. Also, you can claim benefits by going to the job centre every so often, but you don't need to actually get a job.

Anecdotally, my mate's dad does this. He has been living off of benefits for 10+ years, even though he is more than able to work. If someone can get away with it for that long, how is the system not broken?

No society wouldn't collapse with a minimum wage, that is not my argument. Logic would dictate that if everyone in a town was making $15 an hour then prices would naturally increase. How can you not see this?

At least in the UK, we have an inordinate amount of benefits cheats that live off other people's money. If you only extend benefits to people who physically cannot work -i.e. disability benefits, then you stop this happening.

Besides, the way the regulatory system works now, new regulations only seem to benefit large corporations who can afford to lobby and get around the regulations. They actively hurt small businesses.

You have millions of people sitting in their government provided housing, waiting for their government provided payouts, so they can avoid having to get out and work. This sound familiar yet? Then what you have to do, after production grounds to a halt, is to start to force people to work which is exactly how you get labor camps.

What do you want to do, keep raising it every year? The market will outrun the government. This kind of thinking is how you end up with a welfare state, where the only way people can live is with their pitiful stimulus check from the government. People want to earn their own money not freeload of other taxpayers whilst sitting on the couch.

I am not going to be that guy that points out a problem and doesn't propose a solution though. The solution is cut back corporation tax and regulation and make it easier for companies to hire people. This of course is what made the west as great as it is today.

Think about what capitalism has brought us. More and more people on the planet are lifted out of poverty every year as a direct consequence of capitalism.

Why did the colonials, when they arrived in west Africa, find they had basically done nothing for thousands of years? Because they didn't have capitalism in my eyes. Capitalism brought you the computer you are typing on.

> it wanted more radical change, was a central source of ideas

You could say the same thing about Fascism

I will admit this was a particularly barbed question, probably why it was flagged.

I like your answer although arguably reading about the Nazis you can generate a lot of discussion around it (obviously much of it counter-arguments). I think if a Marxism society can generate any discussion worth having, a fascism society could do the same?

>advocate for a form of cooperative socialism not a revolutionary one and stop well short of Communism

I think you'd be surprised considering the number of hammer and sickles social media posts and Che Guevara t-shirts.

I don't think voters are children and I agree with you that that is dangerous thinking, but I do think that showing advertisements based off of data they didn't know they gave in order to change their vote is not the way to allow them to make their own decisions.

I like how we have to preface our opinions with this now. I think if you're on HN it's a given at this point.

I would agree with you that there are a lot of stupid people on the site and they will still find away to do something stupid. But I despise harsh regulation and I don't think that's necessarily the solution. However, when the stakes are so high (elections) I think there is something to be said for forcing Facebook to be accountable. Akin to a parent being responsible for a child, you shouldn't let them get into a situation where they can be that badly behaved.
