I remember what life was like before COVID/being in the office full time. I used to travel to work for an hour and a half on the M25 motorway, and for that I had to wake up stupidly early hours.
I'm genuinely surprised I never got into a car accident considering how lacking in sleep I was. And that was every day, 5 days a week.
Now I work from home in most days, can't say I miss it.

I did a bit of googling as you unlocked that memory, but it's actually Girls Do Porn.
If anyone hasn't heard of them, you can read about it here https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/03/jane-does-v-girlsdoporn-how-22-millennial-women-brought-down-a-porn-empire/
It's absolutely horrendous and I feel incredibly sorry for these women. It definitely made me feel uncomfortable watching porn for a while.
Honestly that would seem like the most common sense idea that anyone would/could draw up from this, and for the most part I think this is what the gov is trying to do.
I think there's an unstated side effect from the Online Safety Act which nobody seems to be talking about - using the new powers to effectively censor Palestinian protests online.

I've genuinely never felt so depressed about voting in this government in my entire life. Actual gross dystopian bullshit.
You and me both
I know others are like "oh well, anyway" but I remembered playing and enjoying bf3. I've avoided the other titles because of military FPS shooter fatigue.
Now though I'm almost desperate to have something that isn't souls like, but EA has to be EA. It's a shame, because I would've been up for paying the stupid amounts of money they normally charge to experience BF6.
I do have a PS5, but I don't have the monthly subscription (paying for online multiplayer is a mugs game), so I just simply won't buy BF6.
I'll just copy and paste what I wrote elsewhere
I have to say since this whole anti porn in games thing has happened, I've ironically exposed myself to more porn games.
Before I wouldn't imagine playing porn games. Ever since the itch unban, I've tried a few games on itch.io to see what the fuss was about and got absolutely hooked on Queens Brothel - to the point where I've paid for the full version on Patreon.
If the Christian brothers and sisters at Collective Shout wanted less people exposed to porn games, lol. lmao even.

Is there other platforms that are out there estimating our ages?
I know the whole age gate thing - being in the UK, believe me, I know. I've just never had a service go "we can't show you content. No, don't tell us your age, we'll work it out from the data we've collected from you".
That's a whole new one for me, I must admit.
This comment is pure poetry. I actually want to have it on my wall, with a beautiful frame.
Finally, someone gets it
