Parents not raising their kids right is why we can’t have nice things. It’s always used as an excuse for some draconian measure.

    the parental control thing is a thin smokescreen. Its about control.

    The reality is our OSs and the websites we visit know exactly who we are. They know our blood type, they know if you are pregnant before you do. Why would they need your ID?
