yes, because this is how transformers work, when you introduce "don't do x" x is also entered as a pattern that is more likely to be repeated than if not mentioned at all

I wouldn't be surprised if that was actually more common than one might think

I have severe ADHD, I remember enough to remember how it is. maybe it's because I'm in my 20s.. at least the feeling/vibe and knowing how "it's for your own good!!!!" type of stuff actually sounds like

but still, imo I haven't changed that much. less risk taking, more worries, more wisdom (somewhat)

maybe for some people they really are super different when they're younger but for me it's been kind of a linear path after a certain point

+ don't quote me on this but from what I know, ADHD affects mostly short term and working memory, but long term memory, especially significant events/etc. can be quite well retained, which matches my experience

I remember playing GTA 4 when I was like 7 or 8. good times... not much books though.

but like... avoid buying due to sarcasm...? what?

what's the value of these AI generated posts?

it takes more value than it gives you as you need to verify everything and hold everything under scrutiny

I'd rather just not read at all

this is what naive adults think, don't you remember how it was when you were a kid?

I seriously, I feel like so many people just somehow magically forget their entire childhoods, maybe selectively?

I lack the ability to lie to myself like that unfortunately

so you think if there were barriers then there would be no European companies or what?

my point still stands, the problem is, now instead of Google saying "we can't do anything about it" any lobbying/political group can go and say "well you could just ban it, does this mean you approve of this app?"

it's like how credit card companies can shut down porn sites overnight by citing their terms of service

that is most of the EU legislation

making/operating companies, getting access to banking, hiring, etc..

all those things are catered towards multinationals by endless bureaucracy and requirements that need consultants/lawyers

it's by design
