Fuck Me in the Hell

you have to be kinder to people who are slow processors.

you have to be kinder to people who don't understand your jokes.

you have to be kinder to people who forget important dates.

you have to be kinder to people with cognitive decline.

you have to be kinder to people who were always this way, too.

So I just heard about some petty assholes in the Skylanders community throwing a temper tantrum about Spyro A Realm Beyond purely because it's not a Skylanders game.

I don't know if that true or not but if it is I have to something to say, THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR IS WHAT ENSURES THAT YOU DON'T GET THE GAME YOU ARE CRYING AND KICKING AND SCREAMING FOR! And you know why? Because there are PEOPLE behind the creation of these games and PEOPLE DO NOT like it when you throw a tantrum like a child crying because mommy won't buy them any candy! GROW THE HELL UP AND BE HAPPY FOR THE PURPLE DRAGON!!!! Take this is a GOOD SIGN that you MIGHT be likely to get the Skylanders game you are praying for, but just know if you keep acting like this, the chances are only going to get lower and lower AND LOWER!!!

You don’t even have to be a UK citizen , use this postcode generator for the love of God . They will have to ID EVERYBODY to actually make this work and or introduce digital IDS .

The laws, framed as a way to crack down on harmful content and make the internet safer, would force social media companies to enact invasive identity verification measures in order to keep children from accessing online spaces.

The problem is that there’s no way to reliably verify someone’s age without verifying who they are. A platform cannot magically discern that a user is 16 without collecting identifying information, whether through government documents such as a passport, payment information like a credit card, or other identity-disclosing data. Whether that data is stored by the platform itself or outsourced to a vendor, the result is always the same: a user’s offline identity is forever linked with their online behavior.

Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society. Whistleblowers exposing corporate wrongdoing could be tracked and fired, government employees speaking out about illegal behavior or bad policies could face prosecution, and activists organizing protests could be identified and surveilled before ever setting foot on the street. […]

The push to eliminate online anonymity is ultimately a fight over whether the internet remains a space for dissent and free expression or further becomes a dystopian digital panopticon that operates as an arm of the surveillance state. A free society depends on the right to publish and consume information anonymously and to organize and speak privately. Age verification policies only bolster the power of Big Tech and give the government complete authority to surveil and censor online speech.
