    I get that we should protect people from obvious danger but part of me struggles with the ridiculous levels of stupidity some of us fall prey to. I don’t know if it’s due to a misplaced sense of justice, cause and effect, or just me being a dick, but I want to let people deal with the consequences of their stupidity on their own. If a computer can convince you not to use your brain then I don’t think you were using it much to begin with.

      ~I want to let people deal with the consequences of their stupidity on their own.~

      Those consequences affect a much much wider range of people, not just those who are stupid about it so it’s not about protecting them, it is about protecting everyone including the ones who can’t protect themselves.

        This is just a more accessible phone sex line. It tells you what you want to hear and charges you for it.
