You seem to think people actually follow that rule.
Facebook is also only for 13+, but there are a ton of people who
A) are below that age and still browse/have a page themselves
B) are parents that let their young child read their posts (and demand other people to censor themselves, because by god, no way will we let Junior read a bad word...)
C) are BABIES with their own pages already... (granted, made by the parents, but that just shows you how insane it is)
C-A
Same with YouTube. Go to any big channel for kids and see the comment section. Full of kids definitely under 13. Of course half of them are just using their parent's account to post or something.
The comments there are really something else, honestly. It's actually kinda hilarious seeing how these children comment.

So for those of you who don't know, the United States recently had another terrorist attack and our President is calling for the suspect (who, to be fair, is probably guilty) to be executed. I personally oppose the death penalty on principle, but that's not why calls for summary execution bother me. I can understand the outrage over such high-profile acts of violence as the recent terrorist attack and I can't claim to think highly of the guilty party. However, this is more than simply a matter of the rights of mass murderers. We offer everyone a fair trial because our criminal justice system is fallible. We have arrested innocent people in the past. We have, sadly, also executed innocent people in the past. The rights suspects are given, such as the right to remain silent, the right to a fair trial, and protection from torture, are there to reduce the likelihood of an innocent person being punished--and we still screw it up on occasion. If we start making exceptions for people who are widely believed by the general public to be guilty, we dramatically increase the risk of punishing innocent people; our justice system would effectively become a glorified lynch mob. Until the verdict has been handed down, the rights of the innocent and the rights of the guilty are one and the same; you cannot deny one without denying the other.

Sometimes I think things seem to be changing for the worst. Or maybe we are just living this historical era marked by tension between West and East, and by a big right-wing wave. Globalization too, which is something complex and totally new... maybe we don’t know how to deal with it yet. But, anyway, troubled times. The beginning of the 21st century.

Things are pretty horrible yeah. I'd say they are probably worse than they were before mostly though that really depends on what we are calling 'before'.

But, anyway. If being “selfish” means having free time and resources to enjoy myself, less expenses, peace of mind, a good night’s sleep, a great sex life and freedom to do whatever I want, then hell yes, I am selfish. I honestly don’t understand people who don’t see the benefits of living the prime years of your youth/adulthood without kids.

I've seen people claim to have formerly held a particular religious and/or political view only to abandon it. I don't deny that people's views can change, and I'm not going to hate someone for disagreeing with me politically or following a religion. However, I have a special disdain for people who falsely claim to have held the same views I hold until [insert event here] happened and convinced them to change their ways. The most recent example that occurs to me is an alleged "former atheist" whose account of her time as an atheist is full of stereotypes about atheists (she says she was a hedonist who hated religion and religious people) and her alleged reason for converting involves the "post hoc, ergo propter hoc" fallacy (something mundane that can easily be chalked up to coincidence happened after she prayed for it to happen).
I've also seen more than my share of "former liberals" or "former conservatives" who claim to have changed their views after some sort of unforgivable view their fellow liberals/conservatives embraced, only for their frequent stereotyping of their former ideology to suggest that their story is false. Especially frustrating are the people who claim to have voted for a different candidate than their own posting history suggests they did. Yes, I totally buy that you voted for Trump and now regret it, person whose posts date back to 2015 and are consistently pro-Clinton.
I try to be respectful toward people who disagree with me, no matter how abhorrent I might find their views and/or attitude. When they demonstrate a willingness to lie to me and anyone else listening, though, that respect is gone.

You know what? I've just given up on politics. Period. I'm just done with all this BS, and I don't think any political ideology can be "right" or reflect the complexity of the human experience. I think politics is naive, really. I have positions on some issues, but I no longer call myself "this" or "that". No labels. Labels are all about being simplistic.

I dunno, maybe they aren't 'killing' people but I'm pretty sure Trump's thrown at least one politician under the bus for speaking "heresy". A career death of sorts.
Perhaps politicians are trying to push a certain ideology to solidify it and change what the original ideology is? The right wing government in America is coming down more diabolical than ever based on some of the decisions they are going with right now. Perhaps their dissidents aren't considered 'true' republicans because they want to send a message about what the Republican party stands for 'now'.

When I was looking over it I felt it was pretty clear that organisations could no longer presume consent for things or make things complex and tricky for your marketing. In short I felt they were meant to make it easier to manage and still use the website without selling all my data to advertising organisations.
Cept now when I use websites, they just stick a huge banner up with a giant button requesting permission to mass-accept cookies or else the banner doesn't go away. When I try and manage my settings most of them are set to "Opt in" which is presuming my consent and then I need to go through them all manually choosing to opt out or else I can't use the website.
Its a pain in the ass and if I was confident in the law I'd kick these companies in the gut for this behaviour. I value the GDPR and how it protects my data but with the methods these websites use they are just making things unusable unless you give them consent.

Okay, I might seem like some grumpy old person hating on millennials/kids these days but I'm one myself! I don't hate phones myself but when your head is in the phone and you've got earphones in and you're walking on the street, it's friggin' dangerous, I swear to God.
Take it from me who rides bikes on footpaths because it's so much safer than putting myself in front of cars that can either skittle me or whack me with their doors (and complain of dents in their car doors) since everyone hates cyclists and this morning I was riding to school and came up to a man who was walking in the same direction as me and he was right in the middle of the footpath, mind you. I imitated a ringing noise because my bell was broken no thanks to some stupid idiot High Schoolers (from the normal high school, I go to the Catholic school) but he didn't take notice. He kept moving in the same direction I was steering as I was approaching, and I was at the edge of the kerb when I passed him by, and only then did he seem to notice. He friggen had earphones in and probably had his head in his damn phone! Would he even notice if someone tried to attack him from behind? Would he even notice if someone tried to run over him with a CAR???
I myself physically CANNOT use a phone while walking, or even riding, for that matter, and I tend to rely on my ears and hearing a lot, especially when it comes to my road sense. It's the first warning that there is an oncoming car. And I can't afford to have earphones in, since they shut out all other noises. I can only listen to music in my head.
I just wish these dickheads would get their heads out of their phones and pay attention to their Arceusdamn surroundings or they would get run over/crashed into/suddenly attacked by without their notice because they were too absorbed in their phones to even see the brazen attacker coming.
