Starting Friday, Arizonans will have to prove they’re old enough to access nude photos and sexual activity online.

Oh my god a DEMOCRAT governor signed this??
Yeah. Voting blue no matter who turned out to not be a good strategy.
Liberals suck so much. She was probably told the talking point “protect children” yada yada and just signed it hoping to score political points without any critical thought on how it’s the opposite.
She also signed an EO that lets people get covid shots without a perscription because the fed is run by people intent on destrying the country, so.
She is acting on behalf of lobbyists. That’s how America got to this stage. Lobbyist lawyers and marketers write laws that benefit them, and they “donate” to politicians to pass that legislation.
The only politicians who actually read anything they vote on are leftists like Bernie and AOC; everyone else is doing what their financiers tell them to do.
Lobbyists for what?
Pocket pussies
Christian Nationalism
Okay thanks. I was just confused if it was the covid thing
Big Blueballs™
I wish someone would make a “protect children” bill that actually protects children
But that would target all the people in power.
And so we should need a prescription for a COVID shot? Am I misunderstanding you?
No its just the contrast between nonsense and common sense.
Ah, yes, agreed
They’re craven and evil–not compulsively evil like the red menace
It doesn’t stop fascism, that’s for sure
Voting blue no matter who turned out to not be a good strategy.
It’s funny how you relabel harm-reduction in voting, and imply the alternative wouldn’t have been far worse. It’s an art.
Weird how none of the party backed whatshisname in new York. Please stop.
It’s harm reduction to vote for someone who just lets fascists implement their policies, anyways?
Yes because they’re quieter and the white cis middle class liberals can all pretend everything’s okay. The gay ones too, until recently.
Harm reduced. Not even some bullshit evisceration of a homeless guy (which I wanted) or harrowing shit done to trans people (which I could not give a single shit about) or immigrants dying in cages (behind tall walls where i don’t have to see them); harm to me! Harm that matters!
How about that Keir Starmer?
Nothing makes me more hostile to the idea of voting blue than this fractally abusive rhetoric. If you’re a RNC operative, you are a very very good one.
The larger problem is that the Democrats are worthless and unpopular by design. So they are incapable of defeating the Republican. There is no alternate vision, they are playing defenseon what the Republicans do.
So while it might be better than the alternative, the alternative is inevitably going to happen because they suck.
Exactly! Alternate visions are not welcome in politics.
A vote for a democrat is at best toilet paper.
It would have worked if the tankies and the normies had actually bothered to vote! But no, you rather vote for genocide and fascism by staying home.
She’s a slim margin democrat governor. She might be calculating that placating this may end up better than letting the state house overrule her with something worse. Many here are also prudes, unfortunately.
Swing state dems think running as Republican light is the way to win over voters, rather than push their own strategy.
Its kind of insane. The whole reason trump is a thing is that the slightly reasonable repubs don’t have a choice, as opposed to the rightoids “”" best"“” choice being a Mitt Romney type.
Me visiting me in 1998:
“So, yeah, the United States has fallen to fascism, it’s all over but the shouting. Donald Trump is the President for the second time. Yes, that Donald Trump. Censorship is the rule of the day and the only major corporation to stand against it, taking a hit to their own profits, is the internet’s largest focal point for porn, a sort of hub for porn.”
“You are clearly demented. Get the fuck out of my house old man.”
“Wow, a second time? He must have done really well the first time!”
Yeah, not really. He tanked the economy into nearly a recession, then over 1M people eventually died from a respiratory virus, he lost re-election, failed to lead a coup, then was convicted of 34 felonies but the judicial department slow-walked until he was re-elected again. Yeah. 2020s have been rough.
“So I have to stop 9/11 AND assassinate Donald Trump? Geez, no pressure or anything!”
Looking forward to seeing Republican names, addresses, and photo IDs being leaked.
In other news plumbers are moving out of Arizona and into Nevada where the clogged sinks are more prominent now.
When interviewed one plumber explained how women’s falling hair and men’s sperm coming together as the principal clugged sink reason made their job, and I quote “easy as fuck, you just pull the hair with a wire and all the cum stuck hair plug comes out in one move” ending with a final comment, and I quote “fuck”.

I don’t get what part of their post has you confused.
Can someone please ELI5:
Why does every site on the web have to adjust for every jurisdiction in the world? Shouldn’t each jurisdiction just be responsible for filtering/censoring the web for their citizens based on whatever batshit idea their leaders have?Actually, I suspect the answer is quite easy: this way, they force other people to have to pay for their batshit crazy ideas instead of themselves.
Is there another explanation I’m missing?
stupidity and laziness
You’re fucking kidding me, right? Can’t believe that I have to state the obvious: Because government censorship of the internet is a dangerous, slippery slope.
Because they’re providing services over there and they’re subject to local laws.
Fucking hell… This is how I find out? Assumed AZ would be safe from this bullshit with Hobbs. Guess not. Might be time to just run the VPN router side from now on.
“Under his eye.”
this is an onion article, isn’t it?
Yes.
i wonder what qualifies as “porn”
18 U.S. Code § 2256
Before long any hussy showing some exposed ankle will qualify.
I am surprised that “BringBackThePorn.com” doesn’t seem to be registered to anyone and isn’t already being used to fight back against these age verification laws.
welp good thing Pink Visual shut down in Tucson, AZ cause…yeah that would have been awkward.
Food was great there though, lunches were always decent.
Fellow Tucson here, who were they?
Pink Visual. They were located in an undisclosed decent sized building on Speedway or Pima, can’t remember which it’s been awhile since I lived there.
They primarily focused on DVD content, they had several sides and an affiliate program named TopBucks. They were owned by this very eccentric dude from Vietnam who drove a massively “blinged out” hummer that would be constantly parked out front. Thing is…only like a handful of people actually saw him in the building. it was weird. I never met the dude and I worked there for like 3 or 4 years.
What VPN should I get? I’ve never really been pushed to get one until now.
Mullvad is always the answer.
So…what the fuck does Outside 14 Eyes mean, and why is it not explained anywhere on the page?
https://www.privacyaffairs.com/5-9-14-eyes-countries/
Techlore is a privacy focused community so their members are already aware of what it means.
I like https://cryptostorm.is/
It’s one of the cheapest VPNs Ive used, truly anonymous, you can pay with Monroe, and high-speed servers that I have no problem torrenting multiple TB per month on.
Cryptostorm takes user privacy more seriously than any VPN I’ve ever used, you can access the site over tor or i2p, no email is needed and you don’t create a password either it’s all token bases authentication, and again you can pay with the only truly private and anonymous currency, monero.
Mullvad is banger too, you just can’t torrent on their network.
edit: made comment less aggressive
