If you stop minors from accessing the mainstream public social media sites/platforms, they’ll just accept it obediently and won’t try workarounds. What could be worse than an instagram addiction? The UK is about to find out.

So now people need to look for a proton AND Tuta alternative? How long until the next thing is compromised?

If it was self-inflicted, I can’t even imagine what he is going through that he chose the method of stabbing himself in the head. I hope he gets better.

They bought me the best plastic, the highest quality plastic. You’ve never seen anything like it! And then you just spray it and it’s the most beautiful thing ever!

Piracy will soon become the only way to consume a lot of content without verifying your identity. The internet is being destroyed in a multi-pronged approach

A dubbed version of something is basically a warped parody of it. But dub fans get really defensive about it.

“Someone unlocked this story for you. Log in to read for free.”

They think they are being cute.

It’s infuriating because Reddit is still a good source of information on really specific topics. Time to make a throwaway account I guess.

Was it Persona? That one cannot be fooled even by rotateable 3d models

Healthline does something similar if you reject cookies. They redirect you to a dedicated ‘fuck you’ page.

It’s only a problem with star wars-logic aseroid fields

You are fucked either way

KFC locations serve undercooked chicken where I live. I avoid them.

I hate when people validate the core idea of needing to protect children through age verification. Timmy lying about being over 18 to look at some boobs is not a problem that needs to be resolved. It’s like requiring everyone to wear body cameras specifically to prevent store clerks from being rude to you.

The people who can verify their identity will be less willing to share their opinion on certain topics once they know they aren’t anonymous. I’m certain this is one of the goals. The reactions to political news, world events, law proposals and atrocities will be far more muted and it will be easier to control the population.

The problem is that Reddit NSFW is an extremely broad category that doesn’t only include porn. So many posts and memes are tagged with it. Realizing that I’m now seeing a censored, inauthentic version of Reddit made me delete the app.

Reminds me of the idea that speedster superheroes experience time differently so for them, interacting with regular people is a slow excrutiating torture.

Just like me fr

As an internet user, you have to accept that at some point you’ll lose access to online services you’ve been using if you don’t become the kind of mouthbreather who verifies their identity.
