Come on, copy pasta is an entirely different form and they work due to being identical, or near, every time.
Theres a very subtle line where youve adapted them to the specific situation that they no longer work.

Your meme has too many words and the four block structure makes no sense.
- Comment on France seeks to ban social media for children under 15 1 week ago:
No im not arguing its hard to define, im arguing that youll have to ban children from whats app. Private minecraft servers (even ones owned and run by the kids) too. If you dont do this you leave a space for the tech giants to bring the targeted ads and then youll have to ban kids from each space as they move in.
Any communication channel will fall to this if you take the approach of banning children from them one by one instead of stopping this behaviour by the tech giants entirely by legislating against targeted advertising directly. These services are just as toxic to adults.
- Comment on France seeks to ban social media for children under 15 1 week ago:
Because the line between “social media” and “talking to other people” is so blurry as to not exist.
Also, and more importantly, the power of these companies is so great in effect youll only enforce that facebook etc. are the only ways of talking to each other that van exist legally and entrench the very problem you want to solve.
For example, is whats app social media?
- Comment on France seeks to ban social media for children under 15 1 week ago:
Im not sure what youre arguing here? its possible to control access well as a parent, but so much easier if the state gorce everyone on the internet to provide id in order to prevent teenagers talking to eavh other?
You yourself csn tsrget what you think is harmful but a law will hit everything and everyone, and like i implied in the driveby abiut roblox still might not actually block something you find unacceptable.
This is just the wrong approach to achieve the goal.
Youre on lemmy! This is like the one place people will decry facebook, x, reddit, insta etc. But what your arguing for will end up with them as the only services that can navigate existing legally, and children will still work around blocks because they simply dont care about consequences for lying about their age.

Dont worry theyll get plenty of poison after the ban too from roblox chat

No , look, the caudrvus isnt a medicsl symbol. Someone ages ago in america got it wrong and used it everywhere and now people are confused and use a symbol of hermes god of merchants as a medica…
OMG you fools, this explains everything.

Yes. Im talking about the heart one cos it looks like two snakes.
- Comment on Choose your Nope Rope 2 weeks ago:
Finally someone justifies using a caudecus as a medcine symbol.
- Comment on Great British Railways flies the flag as logo goes back to the future 4 weeks ago:
We already know what country we’re in.
Whats it communicating? State ownership?
Any idiot can use the union jack in a logo. And they do.
I dont entirely hate it and theres an argument the state should make the flag mean something by using it. I just dont think they can.
Any trust and brand awareness they build up can be undermined immediately by someone using almost identical branding to sell soggy cardboard sandwiches outsude the station.
- Comment on Controversial horror game Horses is the top-selling new game on GOG even as it gets kicked off the Humble Store one day after launch 5 weeks ago:
The steam ban was ages ago, the news was recent. They decided to go loud about the steam ban as they released, its clearly pr. I dont think they got banned intentionally but the differwnce is a little academic when you cry this loudly about it.

Guess what fuckers, they dont want to be there any more than you want them there. Fix the gp system and it’ll all magically disappear.
Shocking no one wants to try and have a conversation about their health by shouting over the counter to a pharmacist in a packed shop as they vaguely listen with one ear while packing medication.
- Comment on Last Epoch players turn on the action RPG for announcing a paid DLC class, tanking its Steam reviews: 'go play Path of Exile instead' 1 month ago:
I guess they made the promise to compete with poe but eventually found out why it is so hard to make work.
Still, interesting explanations from everyone. thanks

The koch brothers were behind the tea party, and ive never seen anything linking them to russia.
At a guess that astroturf movement was hijacked by others but im not sure we can pin much of thst on russia specifically.
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 1 month ago:
Right, If the truth is theyre barely afloat theyre not going to change anything by delaying the report. The time its reporting has passed.
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 1 month ago:
A lot of very confused people here who think an earnings delay means ubi havent made much money. Cant say if they have or not, but if they havent thats still not a reason for this kind of delay
- Comment on Square Enix, Bandai, and other Japanese studios demand OpenAI stop using their content without permission, drop a not-too-subtle hint about legal trouble if it doesn't 2 months ago:
And you need a blank tape to copy too, which did have to pay a charge to content firms to cover piracy.
In this tortured analogy the blanks are also included in the ai firm product, so yes they would have had to pay

You have to use special deals for dominos. Its competitive then. They have standard ones on all the time.
- Comment on 'Mask of the Betrayer: the last of the boomer cRPG classics' - Warlockracy 2 months ago:
Finally someone who admits it, had far too many people try to say boomer shooters are named after shotguns.
Dont expect us slightly elderly gamers to call our precious childhood games by the name of a group that fucked us all over first.

I swear you youngsters wouldnt know a boomer if they stole all your money and then made you pay for their retirement.

Spook Bullshit I think.
Both in amount our security services rely on them (terrible to let happen) but also the amount of retaliation they can employ.

I’m imagining that picture with ea as death visiting Westwood and bioware etc.
But to the left you see ea death is in its own room and opening the door is the figure of private equity. A bloodstained tzeentchian nightmare screeching from the void.
- Comment on Starmer used land tax dodge to avoid inheritance tax 3 months ago:
So he gave them something and the…canary… is sad he didn’t then have to pay inheritance tax on something he gifted when it came back to him?
Shit stirring tbh. He could’ve just kept it the whole time but wanted his parents to feel ownership and independence. This isn’t a tax dodge it’s just how tax rules work.
