| yeah so um arthur vandele says scary it seems big brother is controlling us dot dot dot dot i have four grandkids and i love to show pictures of them dot dot dot dot scary that i will be forbidden to show how proud i am of their achievements dot dot dot dot | |
| remember when the when the saying was like uh grand grandparent is forced to delete pictures of grandchild and soon everyone will have to complete pictures of their grandchild. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Soon there will be no more grandparent rights. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Uh, first I did not speak up for the Nederlander grandparents because I was not a Nederlander grandparent. | |
| Yep, yep. | |
| No, I hear they're developing grandchildren recognition software on Facebook, and they can tell when you post a grandchild to your Facebook. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Not only that, but the algorithm can detect whether the grandchild is smiling or not. | |
| And if they're smiling they know the grandchild probably has like a good relationship with the grandparent. | |
| They've like been able to see the grandparent and that's why they're so happy and like fulfilled as a child. | |
| And so they delete those photos specifically. | |
| Those ones they target those specific photos so what we have to do is we have to You know like the face app how it like you can make anybody smile in the face app Yeah, we have to make a reverse face app where you can apply it to your grandchildren's photos and make them frown and And that way... You have to facetune your grandkids now? | |
| You have to facetune your grandkids into, like, frowning. | |
| Negative stuff. | |
| So that way it tricks the Facebook algorithm and it thinks that your grandchildren are sad and they haven't been able to see their grandparent. | |
| And they'll allow it on Facebook. | |
| Is what I think we should do. | |
| No, I think what you really have to do is just, like, before you take a picture of your grandchild, you have to have some sort of, like, puppy or, like, cute animal. | |
| You know, like, in one hand and the camera in the other. | |
| And just, like, shake that animal for a second. | |
| And then take a picture of the grandchild. | |
| And every time, they'll be like, oh yeah, this is not a happy grandchild. | |
| We can keep this one up. | |
| This grandchild definitely hasn't seen their grandparent. | |
| They are loud on Facebook. | |
| Jimmy H says, if the mother objects, then the grandparent should abide. | |
| It's too bad this became a government-slash-Facebook-censorship issue. | |
| And Jimmy H's avatar is the drawing of Muhammad that was on the cover of that French magazine. | |
| Yep. | |
| Je suis Charlie. | |
| It's the Je suis Charlie drawing of Muhammad. | |
| It's the Charlie of Just Sweet Charlie. | |
| Man. | |
| And it's funny because I forgot what it looked like because the story was bigger than that. | |
| It's a bad drawing. | |
| It's a terrible drawing. | |
| It's a wildly racist drawing. | |
| Yeah, no, I think the French are probably not that great. | |
| They're probably not that great on race relations. | |
| They're good on, like, you know, rioting for workers' rights and stuff, but they're not so good on racism. | |
| And that really shows America's priorities, you know? | |
| This country that is, like, great about writing and, like, you know, setting shit on fire for workers' rights, but is also really great at racism, America chose one. | |
| America chose that they're so racist that they're gonna go ahead and, like, no, sorry, they're so invested in, like, hating workers that they're gonna go ahead and, like, shit on France. | |
| I think it's so the the statement here is funny. | |
| This is like, you know total right-wing cop-out a Like a like a libertarian cop-out I guess specifically If the mother objects then the grandparents should abide it's too bad that like somebody had to make the grandparent abide and You know what I mean? | |
| Like, this is, like, okay, if the mother objects, then the grandparents should abide. | |
| Okay, cool, what if she doesn't abide? | |
| Yeah, what happens? | |
| What is this utopia you're talking about? | |
| Like, it's too bad this became a government Facebook censorship issue. | |
| What's the issue? | |
| The government is enacting the policy that you yourself say should be real. | |
| The grandmother should take the photos down. | |
| The people used to throw their grandmother in a volcano. | |
| But now the government's all up in our shit. | |
| And it's making us make or delete them instead of just throwing her in a volcano. | |
| Jimmy H here, he's probably going to stand up to government censorship and the anti-grandparent jihad. | |
| And he's going to publish drawings of his grandchildren. | |
| Just illustrations? | |
| Yeah, the government's going to make him take down the photos of his grandchildren, but he's going to publish illustrations, unflattering illustrations of his grandchildren. | |
| Just caricatures? | |
| Just awful boardwalk caricatures? | |
| Awful boardwalk caricatures of his grandchildren in homophobic situations, or his grandchildren farting on the Quran, or whatever, and that's going to be his stand. | |
| They're gonna be farting on the Quran and like surfing. |
