  • It’s the fact that the easier options are bad choices.

    It’s easier to sit around the house than it is to exercise. It’s easier to order pizza than it is to cook something. It’s easier to be ignorant than actually learn and change.

    The easy choice should be the good one. Making a bad choice should take effort.




  • There should be no need for this to exist. The internet has been around for long enough without age verification that it doesn’t need to be added now.

    That being said, this is the lesser of the two evils, I think. If your age data exists at the device-level and can send an authorization to a service that says “This user is an adult” without needing to send them any additional identification, that would be better than needing to trust some nebulous cloud service with identifiable information tying your personal identity to your online habits.




  • I really like the way that The Dresden Files handles it.

    Magic tends to fuck with precision mechanics and electrical systems, which means that modern weapons are much more likely to jam when in the presence of magic auras.

    As a result, the main character, who is a wizard tends to use a .44 revolver as his sidearm because anything more precise is going to be unreliable.
