@openrightsgroup@social.openrightsgroup.org @JamesBaker@social.openrightsgroup.org These are the kind of laws and regulations you get from dehumanizing an entire group of people. They only "care about children" because to them children are not sentient and can have even their most basic functions restricted for the sake of improving their safety by a marginal amount. Next would be a policy called "No kid left outside" where it's illegal to be outside if you're under 18 between 9pm and 6am without an adult to prevent kidnapping.

@Fragglemuppet@fandom.ink It's pretty normal to think or change your mind as you speak and I personally enjoy watching people think through an opinion out loud, even if it's done by text. I think your ability to speak a fully formed opinion only really matters if you are speaking in front of a crowd or in an interview.

@Fragglemuppet@fandom.ink Simple seasoning goes a long way in most food, it's really good.

@MisuseCase@twit.social @openrightsgroup@social.openrightsgroup.org @JamesBaker@social.openrightsgroup.org Yes it is, I tried picking an example that is plausible. I can imagine them talking about how parents won't have to worry about their children going out late at night anymore. They would talk about how children don't need to be outside so late anyway, "what's the point? A child only goes home and school and has no need for agency outside of a curriculum." It sickens me how comfortable people seem to be with controlling children to extreme degrees.
