I wonder if we're not fucking ourselves.
"Not enforceable" may have been a thing of the past, with the way technology has developed. We may be approaching a point where terms & conditions ARE enforceable.

That sounds like an interesting novel or movie, but utterly impractical in the real world.
Entirely too easy to game, or imagine a scenario where several generations after it's implementation, "high producing" robot jobs are inherited, creating a permanent upper class and a permanent lower class, because the only jobs that EVERYONE has access to are the jobs that will break your robot, and your bank.
It’s clear that advertising has a lot of power to influence people’s choices, otherwise oligarchs wouldn’t burn so much money on it.
Marketing, advertising, etc. It's a science, a field of study. What is the goal? To make people buy things, ostensibly. How do they chose to do achieve that goal? Deep analysis of the human psyche and studying methods to manipulate them into taking intended actions.
Advertising is the science of psychological warfare.
When people don't know any better, we're all very much "monkey see monkey do".
A lot of us grew up with examples of the kinds of parents we don't want to be, not many of us grew up with good examples of the kind of parenting we would like to provide.

They might not want people, they might want coders.
I still chose to blame the republicans.
No one ever just blames them directly in these conversations. It's always "blame the protest non-voters" or "blame the leftists" or whatever.
Just go directly to blaming the people who gleefully voted for it. Everything else is just infighting and stupid.
Democrats have made the current apparati too hard to qualify for with their means-testing.
I kind of doubt that democrats are the ones who MADE it too hard, but they definitely are the ones that preserve it's difficulty.
It's a downside of being educated and fascinated by what you've learned.
I'm there. I live in the south.
My local community network is in favor of this bullshit. Safe communities are hidden, and I don't know how to find them.
For real. Their ideaology is so twisted. They think that in order to attract women, they should be a what a man's idea of an attractive man is. And instead, being what a woman would find attractive is somehow... gay? Like, I just don't get it, like there's a very fundamental misunderstanding of what it is they are trying to do. Very square peg in a round hole situation.
