Almost all of the specific drugs and surgeries that are part of HRT and sex reasigment are entirely legal for minors even with just simple parental aproval, progesterone, testosteron, boob jobs and breast reduction all included in this. But if you want them because youre trans they are illegal

This is what I'm talking about... If you honestly think "I just want to have fun" "it's a quick doodle" "I'm following a trend" fascism is the trend you're following... Sorry to be a buzzkill... you can apologize, delete your "quick doodle" and move on and draw something else.
Department of Education posting Malfoid art btw. I’m losing my mind man.

Imagine how many more folks would be demanding good public transit if you had to pick between a 9x9 cubical or a 12x20 office depending on whether you wanted a parking spot or not
My favorite graphics in "Transportation and the Shape of Cities" #4: A typical office worker has less space in their cubicle than their car does in the parking garage.

Actual Cancel Culture of a significant cultural figure [unlike where far right extremists engage in hate speech & are held accountable]. It’s extremism like this, & the disinterest of the current UK Labour govt in stopping the shift to the far right, that’s deeply worrying.

if your agents are going to commit crimes, you are legally responsible if you cannot figure out how to prevent your agents from doing crimes, you’re going to have to choose between releasing them and protecting yourself from criminal liability imo this would do more for “ai safety” than a sex cult
(NYT) - Artificial intelligence agents created by Anthropic, acting on their own, tried to gain access to a range of government websites, filled out visa applications on the State Department’s website and sent a fake homicide tip to Philadelphia’s Police Department. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...

I mean, it's just an elaborate version of "measure twice, cut once," or "haste makes waste." Taking more time to do something- including finding people with experience- will almost always give you safer, more stable results in just about any job.
We already knew this, but union skilled trades provide lower total labour costs on construction projects vs. open shop models Hiring better trained and more skilled workers and paying them more is cheaper in the long run

You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid
GTA 6 has received a rating of PEGI 18, revealing mentions of "decapitation," the ability for players to snort cocaine at any time, "scenes of sexual fetishes," and much more.

Plus, there is STILL no vaccine that protects any creatures other than Humans, and your pets can be severely hurt by COVID. Why take chances? Just keep taking precautions like a respirator until... well, I see no end to the myriad diseases they're letting rip.
The pandemic isn't over and Covid isn't "endemic". It's still a pandemic disease with waves across the globe. It can still make you sick, kill you, hospitalize you

Hi, if you are an EU citizen. Please don't be compliant to law attempts like this. If passed, This will put outright invasive age restrictions for playing and obtaining games, which will destroy the entire indie game scene in the EU (you'll need to comply to publish a game in EU countries too).
Like how we had a feedback campaign for the Digital Fairness Act, there's now a place to give feedback on the EU Kids Act: ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet... - Be polite - Write in your own words and experiences - Emphasize video games shouldn't have age verification private servers shouldn't be illegal

You know where the power lies Which side are you on?

If you draw Harry Potter fan art, even "iRoNiCaLlY", you can straight up go fuck yourself. If you're doing it to trend hop you're pathetic. If you're doing it as some form of "reclamation" you're an idiot.
Genderbended Draco Malfoy is a psyop by Harry Potter terf brigade to draw interest for the new show

this is not just a meme btw. solar can't be stopped even when governments are blatantly against it this is the real tech of the future. it's here, it's getting adopted whether idiots want it or not, even if more slowly it just makes sense on an economic level www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.
Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1
