The thing is, UK has had age restrictions for years on its mobile platforms. So if you want to look at porn on your phone, you have to unlock it on your subscription. And to do this, they use youre credit card. The thing that they already have. Its easy and swift. And more to the point, only one company has your data. As it stands now, you are supposed to give your personal details to every single company in the world.

Over the past 20 years, how many massive hacks have we seen that leak email addresses and passwords? Are how about all those woman that get their iclouds hacked and their nude photos uploaded? I can think of at least 10 instances in the past 10 years. And now its going to be all of our driving licences, passports, other photo IDs? And the law also requires that they scan ALL private messages. Thats end to end encryption fucked. And god forbid your girlfriend calls you "Daddy" in a sext, you get the cops knocking on your door treating you like Jimmy Saville.

The shit is insane, and people arent anywhere near outraged enough. Its coming to Europe next, if reports are to be believed. So you lot should ALL start kicking up fuck about it now.

Never had a Spotify account, and I never will. I have apple one, but Im kinda forced into that because of the other half. But if Apple pulls this shit, Im not paying for it. I VPN everything, but I still wont support any company that complies with this bullshit with my money.

Yes I do. Priority/right of way is not taken, it is given. Had loads of fucking idiots speeding through shit they werent supposed to. LOOKING, saved my life on many occasions over my 30 years of driving. As I said, being right isnt a protective shield.

I dont get why people find it so hard to make the clear distinction between being jewish and zionist. Its not hard, its like German and nazi, American and MAGA, English and chav. We've heard the zionists speaking about the civilians in Gaza in dehumanising terms. "They are animals" etc. Thats classic nazi shit.

But for whatever reason, we still get all those clowns in various governments supporting this shit. How many pictures of starving kids to people need to see before ask the question "Are we the baddies?"?

So, just like he did during his first term? The guy is a grifter. All this time spend at his own hotels, etc, is to get the tax payer to fill his pockets. Cos its not just him, its all the staff as well. He'll be raking it in, and it will be all tax payer money.

Yes, if only people would look before crossing a busy road... This attitude of "Im in the right, so Ill just march out in front of 2 tonne death machines" is weird. Being right, has never, and will never, be a protective shield against morons or the careless. Just because you have right of way/priority, doesnt mean you stop looking or taking care when crossing a road.

Wouldnt matter, only a fucking moron would think the can demand priority/right of way. You wait for cars to stop, because if they dont, well, this happens. So many people think that being right is some kind of shield, its not. Being right will get you killed just as quickly as being wrong. Even when its a red light, if youre stepping out in front of a 2 tonne death machine, you make sure its stopped first.

Moms are still getting plenty of action though, right? Wont someone think of the moms!!!!

This shit still happens all the time. Somehow, all the morons got in charge of all the tech stuff. So now we have to deal with overly dramatic influencer wannabes, masquerading as social justice advocates. I was on reddit the other day, and the subject of teachers sleeping with students came up, and how no one takes it seriously when its a male student. I had said thats probably because just about every guy on the planet had wanted to sleep with at least one of his teachers when his in teenage years. I said that I had fancied my maths teacher when I was 15. I got banned for "soliciting sex from a minor"...

Cant even talk about our lived experience as human beings without someone looking to twist it into some kind of offence. What happened to Josh was a warning. And we didnt listen. Now we have religious puritains in the house of lords in the UK pushing age verification in online spaces. Everyone thinks about stealing data, its not. Its about pushing morality. They are currently going after the porn term "barely legal". Why? Because in their heads it means not legal... In the gaming space, it used to be "video games cause violence" that then pivoted to "video games cause sexual violence against women"...

Common sense is under constant attack these days.

And theres loads of black, gay and female actors who dont need to justify their casting either. So whats your point? The fact you have to shoe horn in nonsense to justify them being there, is your own bigotry. Not mine. And Im Scottish, thats 5 million people in the world, not counting the endless Americans who claim Scottish ancestry though their long, LONG dead relatives. We are a minority in the world, whether its one you want to recognise or not. My guess is that you would, if we a black people. But I think we both know, your racism only goes one way, right?

The only kind of representation that matters is character. Thats why Ben Sisko was a character. Because he wasnt just "the black captain". He was a fully rounded and complex character that showed the many facets of people human. If all you see in that character is the colour of his skin... Well, like I said. Thats your own bigotry.

I dont give a shit. Im Scottish, Im almost never represented in Tv and movies by my nationality. But so what? What I look like and who are love, have fuck all to do with representing me. I dont want to see "ME". The only representation that matters is character. Who a person is, not what they are. What they are means nothing. You can black, and be any number of things. Being black means... nothing. Just like being white means nothing. Being black or white doing make you good or bad, or smart or dumb, or interesting or boring.

Representation, does not matter. Your skin colour, your sex, your gender, who you love, dont matter. Only your character matters. Who you are as a person. If you need to see yourself in tv and movies, thats what we call in the business "Narcissism". But seeing the qualities that you share, well, now thats something people want to see.

But you are right. The one thing that Disco did right, was in making these characters just characters. They werent special, they werent given special attention. They were just members of the crew like everyone else. THIS is how star trek is supposed to do it. By making it "normal" or everyday or regular. However you wanna say it. But then later on when they introduce the non binary character, they make a song and dance about it. Like this kid in year 3000 is going to have to "be brave" about correcting someone on their pronouns. Like Star Trek hasnt met thousands of other species of all walks and variations and no one in it would bat an eye. Having a lingering shot of Stamets beaming with pride is not Star Trek. To do that in a star trek way, Stamets should have just said "sorry" and they move on instantly.

Back in the day, they didnt make a big song and dance about Uhura on the bridge. She was just there. It was "normal". This is how Star Trek should be doing stuff like this. Because thats what star trek is, or was. Star Trek is supposed to be about showing us who we could be, not showing us who we are.

Have to agree. Only time I think about this stuff, is when I see it posted online. And even then it zips in and out of my head because... who cares? Only most miserable of people would associate when you were born with a personality type, a political leaning, or well, anything.

We still see all this "boomers are awful" when theres millennials walking around being just as horrible. Almost like being an asshole or not wasnt linked to your birth year or something...
