are there actually places where the public library doesn't already offer free internet access?
Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

... Why should private internet be banned or discouraged? What benefits would that being?
It's a bit of a cop out, but maybe talking about and dealing with feelings. At best people usually only talk privately with a professional for money. Normalise just having regular group therapy for everyone that they can just drop in and out of.
Or if we want to really push boundaries: Orgies and kink parties. Sex is a natural part of life, no need to keep it secret.
Funny mentioning the mail thing in the US... I've never had a singular mailbox and I've lived in California my whole life. Always had a communal mailbox somewhere in the neighborhood (or my apartment now) where everyone's mailbox is in like a big bank of boxes.
I kinda hate it. Mostly because the neighborhood Karen would always be at the thing and always had some shit to say to me, even when I was a little-ass kid.
I always wished we had community baths though. Seems like everywhere else in the world does that except us. Definitely would be cooler to normalize being naked around strangers.
