      Revealing something meant to be serious, as also being ridiculous is like one of the main answers to the question of how comedy works…

        Right? It’s only funny if he voted for the people who put this policy in place.

        There wasn’t really a viable alternative. The Conservatives were also intending to put something like this in place.

      It’s funny BECAUSE it shows how stupid they are… this is almost toddler-level comedy basics. It’s stupid, disturbing and fucked up, but also funny. Funny doesn’t mean it can’t be anything else, it’s not an exclusive thing. Many things that are bad, wrong, disturbing etc. are also funny.

    I’d imagine anyone who’s survived a fire or acid attack is also getting fucked by this

      I can’t take AI proctored exams because I have a lazy eye and it tracks whether or not you’re looking at the screen. It’s the main thing keeping me from getting a bachelor’s because most associates to bachelor’s RN programs are entirely online.

      The new Online Safety Act over there. They make you scan your face and follow instructions (step forward, turn left, open your mouth, etc.) to access a lot of websites now. It’s creepy, and something similar seems to be being pushed in every western country simultaneously now.

      The stated reason is to protect children from porn and such. The real reason maybe (as it often is whenever they say it is about protecting children) an excuse to extend surveillance as much as possible.

        Every “for the children!” law is always just about control. If they actually cared about children, these governments would pass laws or take actions that actually help. I imagine asking a kid if they feel their government does things to make them safe, they’d probably go “dafuq?” or “no.”
