“They’re trying to convince people they can’t do the things they’ve been doing easily for years – to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies – to write that for you.” We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, “that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won’t know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can’t do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won’t have to process grief, because you’ll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it’s going to destroy humans, long before there’s a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people.”

Reading the new checks that might come in due to the Online Safety Act in the UK and this is actually bullshit

[Image Transcript:

And how will I prove my age?

There’s a number of methods a site or app might use to ask you to confirm your age. They might do this check themselves or use another company to do the check. These methods include:

Facial age estimation – you show your face via photo or video, and technology analyses it to estimate your age. 

Open banking – you give permission for the age-check service to securely access information from your bank about whether you are over 18. The age-check service then confirms this with the site or app.

Digital identity services – these include digital identity wallets, which can securely store and share information which proves your age in a digital format.

Credit card age checks – you provide your credit card details and a payment processor checks if the card is valid. As you must be over 18 to obtain a credit card this shows you are over 18.

Email-based age estimation – you provide your email address, and technology analyses other online services where it has been used – such as banking or utility providers - to estimate your age.  

Mobile network operator age checks – you give your permission for an age-check service to confirm whether or not your mobile phone number has age filters applied to it. If there are no restrictions, this confirms you are over 18. 

Photo-ID matching – this is similar to a check when you show a document. For example, you upload an image of a document that shows your face and age, and an image of yourself at the same time – these are compared to confirm if the document is yours.

Not only is this such a fucking breach of privacy, but this is going to hurt adults in vulnerable and abusive situations. Some adults don’t have bank accounts or credit cards or even a fucking phone. I’m one of them. I could not give half of this information even if I wanted to. What the fuck is this. Fuck the UK government. This isn’t going to protect kids, this is just going to hurt adults, and I know full well when they say “sites that allow pornography” they’re going to be going after sites that have huge amounts of queer content, like tumblr and Ao3. Queer kids are gonna lose their fucking communities because of this shit. Abuse victims are going to lose online support systems because of this.

I’m genuinely fucked off about this, and worried about whether I’m going to lose every single one of my online friends. Anyone in the UK, please email your MP and sign this petition. It needs to reach 100k signatures to pass through Parliament.

I’m only hoping the backlash will be big enough for them to stop implementing these measures.

I love Luffy's canonical freaky mind/vibe reading ability. He'll do the super intense autism stare at someone and then go "Yep! They're a good one!" like he just got to see a mental tiktok reel of their life play out in his rubbery head. Freakass guy. I love him so much

Even funnier, with regards to this ability, is that he usually either rolls a nat 20 and pulls it off with a flair that makes him seem fucking psychic, or he hits 1 and gets a critical failure so severe that an evil witch could convince him to climb into her soup pot because there's meat in there and he'll just do it, no questions asked.

It's always either one or the other. No in between. Luffy, the man you are ♡

sanji with completely unmarked and unscarred hands is propaganda i am not falling for. they are well looked after yes, moisturised with nails neatly trimmed and filed but they are a chefs hands before anything else, they are hands littered with the marks of a life spent in the kitchen, hands with permanent calluses from constant use everyday, from gripping knives and ferrying hot pots and pans, scattered burns from spitting oil and tiny white scars from where he slipped as a child still learning the proper ways to hold a knife or when a wave rocked the baratie beneath him at just the right moment. his hands tell the story of a man dedicated to his craft, who has spent his life working and who takes pride in what he does, pride in what he creates with his oh so precious hands
