Parents "protecting" their children are a big part of the reason we're in this shit.
Parents tell "white lies" about their own health, and the result is people who'll say "she was fine until yesterday, now she's dead because of doctors!"
They use vague stories instead of the blunt truth about predators, and we get roblox.
They wave away the horrors of Nazism, and we get, well, Nazis.
Children must be protected from bastards, not from the truth.

my mom was like "why are they called soap operas" so I started to explain the whole commercial sponsored aspect and she went

yeah okay but why are they OPERAS

and I had to go to wikipedia to find out and then I got to read her this sentence:

The term was preceded by "horse opera", a derogatory term for low-budget Westerns.

FYI for those in the US, I just got a scam call saying I had missed jury duty, and it seemed pretty legit up to a point. Eventually enough little clues added up that I hung up and called the county office of jury duty management who immediately informed me it was a scam. They almost had me going for a bit, they had a lot of information about me already.

Anubis has a pretty solid business strategy:

1) Release open source software for free
2) Add catgirl branding
3) Charge companies to remove catgirl branding
