    This is so fucking sad

    Having some shitty corporation already monitor your children lest they gain the forbidden knowledge and lest the parent would have to spend actual time with their kids.

    The way this is phrased, looks like some dystopian authoritarian government might send as a last warning to a parent

    We must never let the crabs know about carcinization, or they will become insufferably egotistical.

    Good thing we humans don’t have to actually worry about sea creatures learning to read and using that knowledge to hide amongst you as some sort of secret invasion in your primitive human societies, eh? That’s such a silly thing to think about. Heh…

      Evolution is a cruel thing, if they do come out onto land, it will be when the land has already been destroyed after wars for resources and other crap.

        Yeah, totally, it’s such a far off possibility, and would realistically never be anything for the humans to worry about, like, at all, and it’s just dumb to think it might have been something going on for the past few decades at least. So silly and ridiculous, absurd really. Anybody saying otherwise is a fool, and if you happen to hear anyone spouting that kind of nonsense please inform me about it immediately. No reason, but please do let me know.

    Wait, you are capable of taking care of what your child accesses online without the government censoring the internet for everyone??? That’s impossible!

        It’s labor doing it in the UK. It’s the people who people label fascists saying the internet should be free, at least there. In the US it seems to be the opposite.

        Maybe the problem is authoritarians.

    As someone who is into this era of retro computing, I’m so glad that there is an incentive to keep producing them at a somewhat okay price!

    They are really essential and without alternative, for example for a reinstall.

    This design baffles me. If you have your parental software set to block certain things, sure. But why would it need to snitch on attempts to access specific content? If your kid is smart and able to bypass the filter you’d never be notified anyway… So either block it or don’t!

      And pass such an amazing opportunity to punish a child? And if the search is bad enough, you can even beat them up, isn’t that delightful?

    I believe ‘crabs’ used to mean an std at some point, but I don’t remember which one. And as we all know, sexual knowledge of all kind is scary stuff, so… Oooooh, protect the kids!

      OMFG I’m old. Yeah, pubic lice are tiny insects (lice) that live on your junk. VERY itchy, otherwise harmless.

      Got 'em once and then they came back a couple of months later. Slept in my dad’s guest room after his best friend. Didn’t even get laid!

      Anyway, once internet porn became a thing everyone started shaving their pubes. That was mostly the end of 'em. Saw a crazy story out of Britain where people were volunteering to host them, keep the species alive for study.

      If you catch these rare creatures, like a Pokemon from hell, you need nothing special to kill 'em off. I read the ingredients on a bottle of lice shampoo, nothing more than bug spray (pyrethrins) mixed with shampoo. Shave your junk, mix household bug spray into shampoo, wash every bit of your clothes and bedclothes in hot, soapy water, done. Use pyrethrins! I cannot vouch for any other shit you find in your cabinets!

      Idk the fuck you want. We already have gooner brains thanks to unregulated AI use. And news of the creepy shit facebook is pulling off. It’s the parents who are explicitly expected to teach them that stuff. If not, then a sex ed teacher. You can’t just let them get whatever NSFW stuff they want, it’s proven to ruin brains.
