I can't tell you how tired I am of hearing about all the absolutely inane batshit coming out of the UK. Holy shit your country is a dumpster fire.

...yet the most wonderful thing about the atman-brahma is that everyone is no one and everyone...anonymity is required for nirvana...

[–] Mihies@programming.dev 4 points 4 weeks ago

It'd be only fair if they required NSFW selfies.

Years later, you will find many then teen’s 80yo grandmas’ photos in the leaked database

Is this the onion?

Question in general about that UK law while there's people here who seem to know things: What about my private, personal website that I run as a hobby? If I have nsfw content on there* that I made myself with (one of (lolamirite)) my own two hands for free with no monetary gain whatsoever, they can't expect me to implement age verification, can they?

Edit: any non-profit thing, really. AO3?

I'd send them a pic of my hairy bollocks as proof.

Reddit stopped being any good when that guy doing a batman/joker role reversal writing prompt stopped posting
