We have this interesting situation where we basically no longer have privacy nor the expectation of privacy, but we also don't have community or meaningful connection with others, so we're all simultaneously both completely exposed and absolutely alone, and please understand that when I say this situation is "interesting", what I in fact mean is that it's "nightmarish and I wish I could wake up"

As one of the many people who stumbled across porn as a teenager on this website pre ban which sometimes contained things very confusing or upsetting to me, I absolutely think being able to talk about it would be more helpful than the online surveillance shit. It's a normal part of life to accidentally see something sexual and be embarrassed or uncomfortable. Like since people decided sex was private and needed to be kept secret from kids this has been a thing that happens to nearly everyone at some point or another in their lives. Accept it and help them deal with their feelings afterwards
I think teens need to be able to go to trusted adults and say “I saw something in a porn video that freaked me out and now I’m worried I’ll have to do it too” and then the adult can say “it’s ok to be nervous about sex, but remember that you don’t have to do ANYTHING you don’t want to do, ever, no exceptions” and this should be an ongoing conversation to remind young people that sexual desire isn’t monolithic and they are not uniquely weird, cowardly, or undesirable for expressing their feelings, and they deserve sexual partners who prioritize consent & autonomy always

they are barring wikipedia. they are barring spotify. they are barring important news - both national news and world news. they are barring mental health forums and LGBTQ related things and so much more. this is not about protecting children, it has never been about protecting children.
the online safety act is an insane privacy breach, and if that does not scare you then you need to think harder about it. it is going to end up in a massive data leak - all the information is getting collected by random third party systems. can we trust them? no. can we even hold them accountable? no. because the government couldn’t even make their own system to do these age checks.
and i hear you - it is important that kids don’t see porn. but even if all this was about protecting kids, it’s sloppy and useless. it’s easy (for now) to get around with a vpn and the only thing the act doing is censoring things that it shouldnt. if the government wanted to protect kids, they would do something concrete about it - they would be putting more funding into education, for example.
of course the policy isnt called “national surveillance”. they’re not going to call it that. everything will be hidden behind things that people want.
so email your MP, and tell other people that this is WAY more than blocking porn from children - this is the first step towards national surveillance.

Ok bc I'm insanely curious: I want to see how many Christian denominations on here believe in evolution/the big bang.
If you pick other denomination please tell me what denomination you are in the tags!
#former baptist (raised) and i always believed in it#or since i was old enough to understand it even a little so like 7 or so#plus this was around when there was a natgeo article about the domesticating of foxes experiments which had photo lineups of minor evalution#very much a 7 days is a metaphor and a myth all at once bc no one witnessed it#dog breeds in general were an obsession of mine and again a proven example of evolution

you kind of have to be genuinely insanely isolated from even thinking about real world racism to be seeing these ""slurs for robots/AI users 🤪"" and not have alarm bells going off about how clearly they're based on real world violent slurs for people of color. the fact that you didn't think about it is itself a problem, not a defense!!
#guess im on the right side since ive really only seen them being called dumbasses and ai bros?#but let this be a warning to anyone following me who has been unthinkingly doing this#please think about it starting now#so i guess a request more than a warning? but be warned being casual about slurs does make you less sensitive to the harm they cause
