Yes! This really shouldn't be a thing.

Hopefully influencers per se will be banned.

The only problem with this is that different countries have different definitions of what a minor is.

In many parts of Europe it already is

I also think consensual euthanasia should be an option like a DNR especially with people with Alzheimer’s or dementia

I doubt that will be banned. More likely just to get worse

Selling your information should be illegal too

Why just the US?

As originally envisaged (as I understand it anyway, apologies if wrong) presidential immunity wasn't supposed to be a get-out-of-jail-free card for any act ever committed by anyone who was ever president.

These greedy slimes are turning millions of people into perma-rents who can't afford homes - and if they can, get denied mortgages even if the monthly payment is lower than the rent they are currently paying.

Come to the EU

It's them flashy lights on top of some vehicles that really annoy me, I always do my best to ignore them.

My mom works night shifts in the mom and baby unit at my nearby hospital. She says even three to four patients require a ton of maintenance.

When I was eight, my dad took a video of me crying without my permission, then posted it on social media. He was imitating me crying in the video, too. Also, IORN, I knew exactly what social media was and what he was doing, as he'd been abusing me like this since I was three. I'm writing this at fourteen years old in my dad's basement (Technically it's my stepmom's, he's already divorced two times but just got remarried... again.) on my school Chromebook at 12:45 in the morning because I can't sleep because my dad won't give me the proper medication I need for sleep. I've been trying to research ways to forgive my dad and not be mad at him for the continual abuse, the hospitalizations (AKA prison), and the fact that he caused me to attempt suicide once, and almost again the other day and at this point I think I might drop out of school. So, IORN, please don't talk about things YOU don't understand. Thanks to those who commented as you guys have given me more therapy in one comment than my psychologist has in my seven years of seeing him. It's nice to see there's still some good in this world.

As someone who was sent to both a wilderness program and a treatment center without any actual problems that needed treatment (no d***s or alcohol, I wasn't in an abusive relationship, I just became a teenager) these can be helpful for some, but they really need more regulation and oversight.

This should be right at the top!

Long before AI, people were doing simple photoshoping fakes and hardly anyone did anything about it. I doubt they would in the future. Even if it's illegal, it would barely be enforced. The only times where it is enforced is when someone is actively going out of their way to make it public - like making a fake video of a woman then intentionally sending it to all her friends, family colleagues etc.

And term limits!!!

Wait I’m a bit slow can someone please explain what this is?

Anyone ever watch the movie WALL-E?

Tbf- although I don't condone tanning, I live in Michigan and during our winter months there is an actual epidemic of chronic low vitamin D due to lack of sunlight. And unfortunately there are also people who cannot absorb vitamin D through supplements effectively as well. Currently I am on 50,000 IU vitamin D pills and it's only September. I'm hoping I can keep my levels up through the winter. When it drops to low levels it's very painful because it greatly affects bone strength. I still do not use tanning beds, but for this reason alone I can see them being medically beneficial. But they should not be used solely for aesthetic purposes.

Where I live, anything that goes beyond 25 km/h is considered a motor vehicle. That's why e-bikes are limited to power you up to that speed and if you want to go faster you need to use your muscles only. Those bikes that can go faster need a registration and a small license plate.

Exactly. If I want to try a new medication, I'll talk to my doctor. I don't need irrelevant medication ads popping up everywhere.

Or songs

Also something which will only get worse

Where is this happening?

when looking for a house. a HOA would be an automatic deal-breaker for me.

In very rare cases, people have allergies to the vaccines. However, this should be the ONLY exception to vaccinations.

It was always their intent to sell your data...

That's not how it works. The DNA companies didn't sell anyone's data. The cops bought a DNA test kit and sent in a sample from a crime scene. It returned "family members" who had also taken the test, just like everyone else gets for their test kit purchase.

Why aren't people sending in fake names to these companies? It's like having to sign up for accounts and stuff. I don't think I've ever given a correct name or birth date to any of these web sites.

wrong.

Conspiracy theory going on here. Really, this is a bit far fetched.

Criminals (as well as unidentified remains, etc) have been identified not with DNA data that has been bought and sold, but by uploading the unknown profiles to databases and connecting them to relatives who have voluntarily submitted their own profiles using genetic genealogy. Law enforcement has been doing this for years within their own databases of crime scene evidence and the like. Some companies do sell or share data - I recall I was asked to opt in or out of contributing to medical research, for example - but that data is supposed to be aggregated and anonymized to protect the privacy of individual users (barring security breaches, of course).

Shìt, I wish I'd known that before I did one..

I never thought these ancestry tests were a good idea and I have refused to participate.

My insurance company was charged $5,000 for testing for 26 genes. But these companies claim to do enough tests to determine that you're 15% Albanian, but not 20% or not 10%.

Giving off gattaca vibes

Gattica is coming!

That latter half should be a law everywhere.

Here in Germany it is already illegal to take pictures of someone in public, much less film them. You have the rights to your own face at all time.

AI for normal schmoes in general.

EU had an attempt to limit the pesticides use and more towards a more eco-agriculture. It resulted into huge protests and strikes from the farmers, and they had to give it up. Cancer and IBD rates are expected to increase within the next decades, because of what we eat.

Anything that is banned or illegal exerts a terrible attraction for children.

In Norway, energy drinks are not allowed be sold to kids under 16 yo.

I get it but sometimes you need a mattress and your only option is rent to own. I won't do it again because I have better options now.

Not here in Germany, because we have laws against such practices.

No they don’t…the new government cancelled that ban unfortunately.

Nestle are an evil company, but it is very hard to boycott them as they make so many products over a wide range under a number of brand names.

You don't have enough money to fight against this. They can by your representative and you can't.

In the USA drones are classified as aircraft. Interfering with them is a federal crime. They also communicate electronically which , if is intercepted & modified, violates federal electronic communications laws. Even if law enforcement intercept them, they’re violating DOT/FAA laws and wiretapping laws. They’d need a warrant with probable cause to take one down in unregulated airspace. To get the warrant, they’d need to catch the drone breaking the law in realtime, file with a judge then return to the flying drone to intercept. Because of this drones can be used to traffic d***s & contraband or even be used to harm or assassinate. That they can be preprogrammed is GPS makes it hard to impossible to catch the actual perpetrators of these crimes. They’re prob one of the biggest under-regulated threats emerging to individual & public safety. Just ask Serbian gang members, Mexican cartels & Ukrainian soldiers. They’ve all figured out how to manipulate personal drones.

And un-obvious ones, too!

Even if you pay it off, you are not really owning it. You have to pay taxes on it. If you don't the government can seize it.

Before I get too disturbed, are we talking about American thongs or Australian thongs?
