And how is casually referring to heterosexual relationships then not sexual?
It is, did I write something wrong which negates that?

People like them used to go after books, now games.
They're still going after books too. Any and all media, speech, any kind of communication, which is free from their clawing grasp.

Go to your local store and buy a Steam gift card.
Whoah whoah whoah! They need to keep that cash in a wallet, don't wave it around, look out for pickpockets, don't carry too much, and a slew of other common sense things that I won't list now but will mock you for not doing later.

Who's behind this sudden wave of age verification bullshit, Schrödinger's parents? The ones who shove an iPad in front of their 2 year old and berate school teachers for not being poorly paid babysitters who raise their kids for them? And yet they claim to care SO MUCH about the well being of children that they push these obscene and draconian policies on the rest of us? What a bunch of fucking hypocrites, but that's typical for conservatives.
Governments and some religious nutjobs.
They only pretend to care about children. It is about power and control. Always has been, always will.

I would prefer if the EU/Swiss backed project based on GNU Taler makes it instead: https://www.taler.net/en/ngi-taler.html
True but 2 > 1

Mass emailed didn’t exist in 1969 nor in 1985.
Wherever you went to school, those teachers should be shot.
Maybe read those two comments again, then read your response.

I think you should take your own advice. Just because you lack the intelligence to understand my comment doesn’t mean I’m the one to blame.

Urghs, you are really aggressive and kind of pathetic so thank you for blocking me.

Collective Shout, a small but vocal lobby group, has long called for a mandatory internet filter that would prevent access to adult content for everyone in Australia. Its director, Melinda Tankard Reist, was recently appointed to the stakeholder advisory board for the government’s age assurance technology trial before the under-16s social media ban comes into effect in Australia in December.
"Face backlash" = about 160,000 people signed a petition saying they disagreed with it, then went about their daily lives and totally, 100% without a doubt continued using their Visa or Mastercard credit cards.
They don't care, there are no alternatives. They can do whatever they want.

I assume they own their own domain.

Feels like we're going back to the 90s/00s "Christian parents against video games" moral panic era. But this time, they're being appeased more heavily.
I despise conservatism. It destroys everything it touches.
Rockstar paid for part of that as PR stunt

The Mastercard/Visa monopoly (or duopoly) is bad for consumers. It should be broken up.
We should hope digital euro breaks this:

When is the European alternative to these coming?
Do you mean digital euro?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_euroThis would be the only thing that could break visa mastercard duopol. Hopefully 2028

Yet 1000 weirdos in Australia will have more sway, curiously.

It's amazing how they have a book that tells them to love everybody and somehow they've taken that, and turned it into oppress everybody.
You haven't read the bible then because "oppress everybody" is the point.

This is some low effort trolling, isn’t it?

I delight in causing you pain. Please tell me more about how I hurt you.
