You don't like Mayonnaise as an offensive strategy?

Abigail is best girl.
Take the points and force them to drive the field, score a TD and convert a 2-pt try just to tie you.
Unfortunately most users of Lemmy seem to fall into at least one of these two categories-
-
Don't live in the US and therefore can't own guns at all, or they're so heavily regulated as to be functionally unavailable.
-
Extremely pro-big-government, so they may own or like guns, but have a huge list of caveats ("regulate me harder daddy") every time they post.
Hence the gun community is pretty mid here.
I would be highly suspcious of anything running proprietary software and connected to the open internet, especially now that you've got ignorant states like NJ and NY looking to prosecute people who might be making anything that vaguely resembles a gun part.
Same goes for slicers. Some of those don't respect privacy either.

To be clear, the friend was like "you'd be a great fit for my shoe catalog, oh and since we're already in here let's have you squat with a basketball and spread your pussy"?
Texans fans bitching about the refs is outright hilarious. They didn't play well enough to win. They botched the double dip strategy on both sides of the half. Their D gave up easy plays in the middle of the field to Kelce, which is literally the most predictable play design the Chiefs were likely to run. Their kicker Fairbairn was complete ass, completing a "hat trick" of missed FG, missed PAT, blocked kick. Through either bad O-Line play or bad play design they left their QB hanging out to dry during the final drives, resulting in Stroud getting completely pummeled for what, 8 sacks?
Texans knew they were gonna have to deliver an A+ effort to go on the road and win at Arrowhead in the playoffs. They gave a C+ effort and lost.
He was bad, yes. Also worth mentioning however, their banged up defense looked bad too. They gave up massive chunk plays, yardage from scrimmage, yards after catch, allowed deep completions, etc.
I actually agree with you, in that I've been where you are and it is extremely difficult. There has been more pushback recently against the idea that very young kids are magically entitled to unfettered device access. The incentives are misaligned because big tech just wants more and more pairs of eyes. They don't really care about the underlying harms. However they have built better parental controls recently. I have to credit Apple (extremely reluctantly) because their controls and reporting seem to be better.
However you are right, there will always be some other kid at school with a completely unlocked device because his parents are idiots and pay zero attention.
Thinking about this recently. Kids tend to find ways to abuse the technology for "naughty" purposes whatever the era. I remember the first kid I knew with residential internet back in the early 90s, the very first thing he wanted to show off about it was that you could get on some ancient bulletin board system and if you waited like 7 minutes you could eventually see a whole picture of a topless woman.
Trying to age gate all internet smut sounds like a losing battle. I think an unintended consequence might be young people hassling their peers for nudes at a higher rate. Either that or they will find alternative modes of distribution that adults didn't even think about.
Maybe instead of trying to deanonymize internet usage for literally everybody, there is an actual social solution such as, oh, I dunno, parenting?
