Wtf how is the onion supposed to keep up with this shit

[–] art@lemmy.world 116 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Okay, that's a red flag. Someone check his hard drive.

If anything objectionable comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice. I’m proud to tell ya, my son has got a clean slate.

"My son knows how to use a VPN"

Maaaaaaaaark!

I've completed Netflix!

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nah this stuff is full on spyware having a VPN wouldn't stop it from triggering. This is the software Josh Sugar had installed on his PC turns out partitioning the hard drive and installing another OS will get around it.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 1 year ago

I think his son checks it often.

...Wait, were you intending innuendo or not?

50,000 files of drag queens and transgender porn show up

[–] fosiacat@lemmy.world 101 points 1 year ago (2 children)

god these people are fucking weird. so fucking weird.

I remember this kind of stuff back from my days as an evangelical Christian...they applaud this kind of nonsense, even though every single one of the users of this kind of software has some way around it. Purity culture craziness.

[–] Bremmy@lemmy.ml 45 points 1 year ago

Same software the Duggar pedo used?

[–] csolisr@communities.azkware.net 32 points 1 year ago

So what you're telling me is, that Johnson and his little Johnson measure the usage of each other's Johnsons?

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok, how many burner phones does he have?

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 29 points 1 year ago

Dude, I'm willing to bet the son has at least one.

"I’m proud to tell ya, my son has got a clean slate."

A quote like this tempts fate. I thought he was trying to avoid temptation.

[–] IvanOverdrive@lemm.ee 28 points 1 year ago

There is no normal, only weird and weirder. Beware the normies, for they are least normal of us all.

Mike Johnson is a walking argument for voting against 70+ year-old geriatrics who can't string together coherent sentences.

All it takes is one exceedingly unlucky accident and that motherfucker becomes president.

[–] Lord_Logjam@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a bit bonkers that the way the American system works can so easily result in a president who is a member of the other party.

Isn't this the kind of thing TOR and a private browsing session was made for? Additionally this is just bizarre.

[–] lolola@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 year ago

Maybe it's a way to make sure they don't forget. Like "oh hey bro i saw u had some lewds in ur history make sure u go incognito next time" "Damn u right man good lookin out" fist bump

[–] Delphia@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Its really creepy and intrusive. But at the same time, I can find really fucked up porn with literally zero effort.

I mean, if your kid has terrabytes of rough incest bdsm porn people will ask why you werent monitoring their internet use, but monitoring them like this feels like a different kind of weird.

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Shit, if your kid has terabytes of train videos you need to intervene. Terabytes of any specific thing and... son we need to talk

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thats what I mean, how do you know unless you're either using this shit or searching the HDD. I was a kid back when porn was Jpgs traded on floppy disks or grainy 480x320 10 second realplayer clips.

[–] skooks@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why did that make me feel so nostalgic?

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because if you're as old as I am nost of the ladies in those images and videos are now retired... like OAP retired.

[–] skooks@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Keep talking...

[–] Fal@yiffit.net 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He's taking about his kid monitoring him as well.

Nothing creepy about that

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It must be that software that you install that lets your "accountability buddy" check your browsing activity.

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It literally says that in the article.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Who reads articles? Speculation from headlines is much more fun.

[–] spiderkle@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Alcoholics have a sponsor too, so it must be a really bad addiction if he's even willing to drag his kid into it as an emotional crutch.
