Yeah billy should be build IEDs not 3d printed guns. That'll make kids safer. /s

Honestly, why can't we put half the effort we do censoring the world into teaching kids/people the sanctity of human life. There was a time where the US was had strong pacifist culture but almost every house had gun, but I think we didn't do a good job transitioning from religious to secular values in that way.

I see the /s but...The Ukraine war videos don't show how to build IEDs, though. And even if they did, who would the parents sue? Ukraine, a nation at war? As opposed to 3D printed guns show you how to make them, and you could try to sue the gun company who it belongs to. And YouTube in both cases.

we didn't do a good job transitioning from religious to secular values in that way.

A lot of religions were founded on and/or expanded by violence (Pilgrims to America, Knights Templar, Spanish Inquisition, etc), so I don't remotely think "religious to secular" is the reason.

Oh yeah no doubt religion isn't a solid basis for morality. More so just saying that we are niehlist, new ageist, more than holding something like humanist values now.

A lot of the 3d printed gun video content is more like reviews because YouTube already censor creation content.

lol what the fuck?

Inter uterine devices are implanted birth control you fucking moron.

You probably meant IED, Improvised Explosive Device, but are too simple to understand acronyms have meanings.

Honestly, why can’t we put half the effort we do censoring the world

if you put half your effort into reading and comprehension you'd probably engage all four brain cells.

They have a logical point though. On the Ukranian war videos side we know that the news has to blur certain things for public decency or safety etc.

On the 3D printing side we know that while these videos are definitely educational, the point is that such an education can be used in a very horrible way.

IUD might be how their phone's keyboard corrected, or they might have just swapped the acronyms. It's more important that you knew what he meant and I think you're dismissing it out of hand.

When the internet first became popular there was a whole thing about kids having access to the materials to make a bomb with instructions. Took some bookstores down with them. Anarchist cookbook moral panic everywhere.So yeah this has been a thing for a long time.

pfft, I think you're giving them way more credit than they deserve. I really want them to homebrew IUD's lol, they're gonna need them when their states outlaw abortion.

I mean I am unironically I am for people making medicine and medical devices at home if they have no other option (the four thieves vinegar collective is the best group I know for this, with diy abortion cards being one their products).

yeah I'm of the mind that we should keep civilization chugging so people don't have to homebrew penicillin. you do you. but don't put your IEDs where your IUDs should go.

Lol yeah I doubt IUDs are being talked about much on the war reports. Its been a heck of a week for me, so that's my excuse for the typo.

communication hinges upon clarity and if you don't know which words to use, or don't use them correctly, you can't blame the receiver for wondering WTF
