I’m sorry but what the fuck
How can the recognition of Palestinian statehood be CONTINGENT ON THE ACTIONS OF ISRAEL
How is a nation only CONDITIONALLY RECOGNISABLE based on FACTORS EXTERNAL TO THAT NATION
Why is the UK Government USING PALESTINE AS A THREAT TO STRONG ARM ISRAEL
THE FUCK
So the Government best case scenario is what, Israel agree to the conditions (ceasefire, no annexation, 2SS etc) and then suddenly Palestine isn’t recognised anymore?
WHY IS PALESTINE ONLY RECOGNISABLE IF IT’S UNDER SIEGE?
Treating a starving and suffering nation as a carrot on a stick, their statehood provisional not on their terms or merits but on the compliance of their occupier.
Sums up this government.

Hopefully more people realise how fucking dumb and invasive this law is when average man Johnny Q. Gooner has to submit his face and passport to look at barely legal teens but in the meantime:
A VPN set to a different country seems to negate a lot of these checks as the websites being forced to check ID are doing so based on IP location and nothing deeper like pre-registered addresses or user-set locations.
I’m not a security expert and don’t know enough about each company to recommend any particular one but I will say that, alongside all the paid options you know (Surfshark, Nord, Express etc) there are also free options for basic location switching and logless browsing (Proton VPN is seemingly well regarded).
In these times it’s not an overreach to say that voluntarily giving your ID, and therefore a direct link to you and your online activity, to whoever is asking for it (be it tech overlord, some 3rd party ID checker database with sketchy GDPR and data security policy, the hackers who will inevitably leak that database, Government agencies with a back door &c. &c.) is a bad idea. Minorities, political activists and antiestablishment voices are being targeted from every direction and we shouldn’t voluntarily hand another tool over in the arsenal to shut down our freedoms to be radical, queer, angry dissidents.
sorry if i'm gonna be quiet for a while. my country recently introduced laws that make it so that in order to use social media to the fullest (not being able to view ns/fw content and in a few cases, not even having access to dms), i HAVE to give the sites my id/face scan.
it goes into effect july 25th. it'll probably effect here too, since this place allows mature content (tho not full on ns/fw)
i'm very distressed about it bc i might end up not even being able to talk to my internet friends. i don't really have any irl ones
if i have to disappear on most socials by then, you know why.

The third rule is I will revisit my cable management months down the line when fixing or upgrading it and say “fucking hell this is a nightmare”
The first rule of cable management is "out of sight, out of mind"

I was going to say no but the last thing I googled was “ho fun noodles” and I just think it’d be funny any time I was questioned about it to say “it’s the Chinese characters for dragon warrior” or some shit like that
