And people are going to use that argument to get rid of safe haven zones.

This feels like something out of Nazi Germany

Nah, I was thinking something along the lines of the Right saying that Young mothers are abandoning their kids because “they’re selfish” or “they are avoiding responsibility” so some state passes a law that states that abandoned kids get DNA tested and traced back to their mothers so they can be forced to raise kids they can’t afford/can’t raise “to protect the family”.

The US has a track record of fucking over women and girls, what with their war against contraception, abortion, adequate child care, etc. It wouldn’t surprise me if the next move is “stop women giving kids up for adoption” under the guise of “protecting the family” or “personal responsibility” or some shit, but in reality is just a way to create cheap labour from underpaid women with a mouth to feed.

Hey UK government, why did they have all that data in the first place? Could it be the online safety act?

Even if everything you do is completely innocent and wholesome, it can be used against you. It will be used against you.

Reasonable. Now who’s gonna bet that some dip shit in Washington makes it illegal because “mothers should face the consequences of their decisions” or some bullshit.

Call me a cynical old removed but when the US does something reasonable I always think “how they gonna fuck it up this time?”

How do you think the Plutocracy is maintained.

Oh I’m sorry, which government demanded age checks which made kids give away their data to check their ages? Oh yeah.

We have those, they are called:

• Freebooters
• Media Management companies
• AI Scrapers

People: “I am NOT paying my barista a tip for this, what do you MEAN they DEMAND a tip.”

Meanwhile the Barista is being paid less than US$3 an hour because in America, you can be paid that and be expected to reach minimum wage through tips if you work food service. Want to end that? Demand that food service workers be paid minimum wage at the very least. Don’t want to do even that? Then stop getting fast food.

• No, this will not raise the price of food in any meaningful way.
• No, these are not all teens, the average age of a minimum wage worker is 40.
• No, this will not raise the price of goods generally. Wages have remained stagnant and the price of goods have risen regardless.

That’s basically the end game of capitalism: Plutocracy.

Well, looks like we’re going from going after transgender kids to going after transgender adults.

If Jesus came to America he would be shot within two seconds of opening his mouth for being too “leftist”.

You will be glad to know that HOAs are almost unheard of in the UK and where they exist they’re usually nothing more than an organisation for tending to the village green, common areas and sometimes library book boxes.

Autistic person here: No. No, what the fuck?

You sir. You are a good man.

Every time there’s football matches between Rangers and Celtic in Glasgow, they send out the riot police because shit can get violent very easily.

On the other side of the central belt in Edinburgh, there were plans to have separators on the trams to keep Hibs and Hearts fans separate.

London tube trains have to skip some stations on match days to prevent certain fans mixing and fighting. Doesn’t stop them banging on the tube trains. Arsenal tube station has bars specifically designed to stop rival teams fighting each other on the stairs.

Millwall fans are so notoriously violent when the Dockland’s light railway was being built, rather than naming a station “Millwall” they named it “Mudchute”. Do you know how bad you have to be to have your area’s station named after a euphemism for arsehole.

I’ve literally seen men riot over a ball game.
