This is pretense to intrude on other things and more importantly remove the ability to browse pornography anonymously, which is dangerous. I would never use an account to browse a porn site because why would I ever want that data linked back to me? Look at the government right now. You watch a gay or trans porn video and in a few years that could be grounds for never being able to have certain types of jobs or worse, being deemed a “miscreant”
If this was truly about protecting children they would encourage open dialogue on sex in homes and increase inclusive sex education. This is evidence based. It would still be necessary even with this nonsense because obviously vpns exist, as well as amateur run sites, sites run from outside of the USA, torrents, etc that don’t give a shit about us laws requiring age verification and will show all kinds of obscenely hardcore videos

I feel like the classic image the mermaid in my head is clamshells as a bra. However, my extensive mermaid knowledge consists of: ariel, the concept of the undine (which I have never seen depicted and I’m not sure is a mermaid actually, is this something that encompasses mermaids technically? Not really my forte), and decerto, who I have also never seen depicted

So you definitely can’t go there easily but Gerald Hough is who does a lot of research on the abilities of homing pigeons and is available via email if you had specific questions
csm.rowan.edu/departments/…/aviancognition.html
Is his bio and email
- Comment on Is it possible to get/train a carrier pigeon today? 1 week ago:
if you’re really interested in pigeon behavior Rowan university in New Jersey has a pigeon lab for studying avian communication and cognition
- Comment on Ads are coming to bit.ly links 2 weeks ago:
Short links are bullshit anyway. Don’t obfuscate where you’re sending me, that’s sketch. That’s phishing email behavior. Just because you don’t want me to erase all the tracking bullshit from url. Soon I won’t be able to anyway because most sites are starting to embed it into the url anyway. Fuck you and fuck the internet
- Comment on Horse goals 2 weeks ago:
I came here to say there are a lot of youtube videos of horses farting, this being the most notable. It’s nice when youtube shoves stuff like this in my feed instead of right wing garbage

A phantom taste perception is actually a lingering bad taste in your mouth and actually caused by multiple things like schizophrenia, diabetes, bad dental hygiene, head injuries, certain cancers, medications, etc
- Comment on Does Aphantasia exist for senses other than vision? 2 weeks ago:
Olfactory aphantasia is the inability to imagine smells Phantosmia is detecting smells that aren’t there
Similarly there’s gustatory aphantasia for taste and phantom taste perception
Etc
- Comment on Will online only "Device Activation" become the norm for every device in the future? / Will everything require an app in the future? 3 weeks ago:
Improves data tracking and increases the odds they can sell you services, which is money they love because it’s consistent and predictable income.
Also means you get drawn into their “ecosystem” and the deeper you get into it the harder it is to move to a competitors. If you have $4,000 worth of iphone apps and in app purchases it’s much harder to switch to android. You can migrate bookmarks, password databases, calendars, message histories (not imessage lmao), etc but you can’t migrate proprietary apps and services
big tech has been anti consumer for decades and while apple is a big issue now 90s and early 2000s microsoft was the driving force in making sure open standards and interoperability was quashed at every opportunity. US government had endless chances to regulate the industry but incompetent politicians did nothing because they were completely ignorant and corrupt (shocker)
- Comment on Does anyone know what Trump is going to do with people with mental disabilities who get SSDI? Or can someone link me something on Trump and SSDI since google is cleaning up Trump from searches? 3 weeks ago:
Oh for sure, self preservation above all. I just mentioned it because I’ve known a lot of disabled ppl who were very surprised to find that out and planning needs to start now
- Comment on Does anyone know what Trump is going to do with people with mental disabilities who get SSDI? Or can someone link me something on Trump and SSDI since google is cleaning up Trump from searches? 3 weeks ago:
Keep in mind that visa means you still need to self fund health care and in many countries like Canada and Australia if you are disabled you can be denied permanent residency for being a cost burden on their healthcare system.
Research where you go if you are disabled and leaving, especially if you’re leaving with permanent residency in mind
- Comment on Is This How Reddit Ends? 4 weeks ago:
It happened long before chatgpt. Subredditsimulator was touted as a “fun game” at first but it was really a testing ground for bot devs. That goes back to like 2016, 6 years before chatgpt.
Openai was established 2015 though, some of their team was probably already shitting up the internet by then

According to another comment reply that info is out of date

In the following states, private sellers (non-licensed individuals) at gun shows can sell firearms without conducting a background check or imposing a waiting period:
Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas Georgia Idaho Indiana Kentucky Louisiana Maine Mississippi Missouri Montana New Hampshire New Mexico North Carolina (only for rifles & shotguns; handguns require a permit) North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming
- Comment on Anon watches The Terminator 4 weeks ago:
Total fiction. Everyone knows you have to go to a unlicensed seller at a gun show in the majority of states for that, not a gun store
- Comment on How alarmed should I be to see stool in my blood? 4 weeks ago:
Note that you probably shouldn’t read this post if you have health anxiety
generally yes but not always. Don’t freak the fuck out without other symptoms. Something as simple as taking pepto bismol can make your stool very dark and it’s obviously benign in that case. Similarly red in your poop can be caused by dietary stuff, classic trigger is beets
Ideally you’d see a doctor just to be safe, especially if it occurs for more than a few days or if you also have other symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, etc.
if you have symptoms like tachycardia or weak heartbeat, pallor, hyperventilation, sweating, excessive fatigue/not alert, etc it’s in the medical emergency zone and you need an emergency room asap.

- Comment on Anon has an antique revolver 4 weeks ago:
I used to do a lot of repair stuff and I posted a lot on the associated subreddits and stack exchanges related to the topic. I’ve seen a lot people with things much less complex than this post pictures like “how do I put it back together??? They’d get detailed instructions from people on how to do it, then post angry replies that people basically weren’t doing it for them and (I assume) give up

If republicans can find a spiritual successor to trump that is charismatic, captures people in the way he does, and is actually physically attractive we are done for. I mean we may be done for already but then we definitely are
- Comment on Anon watches anime 4 weeks ago:
It also helps that like 80+% of the time the guy is the one otaku who is relatively physically fit, reasonably grooms himself, and has at least a modicum of social skills (even though they temporarily have no friends before making 3 dozen)
Every once in a while though you get something like the first few volumes of watamote where the main character is genuinely a fairly reprehensible person who constantly makes things worse every time they try. Though to be fair even that ended up with tomoko somehow gaining a pseudo harem

My father in law, who is otherwise a very nice person, overuses ellipses in his informal written communication and it bothers the hell out of me
The crazy thing is he is extremely well educated. He was a professor at a super classy university, had a very distinguished career, etc. dude can write. But hand him an iphone and all of a sudden he can’t end a sentence definitively…

- Comment on Anon fixes Super Mario Bros 5 weeks ago:
In the 90s I beat smw so hard, all the dragon coins, all the secret exits, tubular, the palette change, etc. it took years. I was convinced there was still more to find in that game even when the gba version came out and I finally had access to walkthroughs. I’m pretty sure I consulted Nintendo power on a few things though
I recently watched a guy play through the nes Bart vs the space mutants though and that was legitimately a like “no kid ever beat this”
