You got bigger things to worry about in your country than a cringe anime enjoyer. How to know you are just virtue signaling
💥 America once declared war on pinball.
NYC banned it from 1942 to 1976.
Chicago and LA had decades long bans, too.
Politicians said they were too addictive and corrupted the youth. Cops raided bowling alleys, candy stores, and bars to smash them with sledge hammers.
50 years later we carry prediction markets and entire casinos in our pockets, and nobody bats an eye.
Massive layoffs and restructuring at Microsoft/Xbox today. ~268 Xbox jobs are reportedly being cut (SO FAR), and the shakeup is HUGE:
• Ninja Theory: Potential closure after two sale deals fell through
• Arkane: Future still being discussed
• Halo: Activision helping develop the next major game with a new team
• Obsidian: Moving under Bethesda, working on a new Fallout project
• Playground + Turn 10: Merging into one studio for Forza and Fable
• Rare + World’s Edge: Activision taking on more responsibilities
• Undead Labs: New publishing arrangement, State of Decay 3 still day-one Game Pass
• The Coalition: Also hit by layoffs, including Narrative Director Juan Vaca
Microsoft reportedly says the restructuring is now about 75% complete.
Xbox is going through a MASSIVE transformation.
Microsoft’s latest Xbox cuts have hit World’s Edge, the studio behind Age of Empires.
Just under half of the team at the Age of Empires/Age of Mythology custodian have reportedly been laid off, including Creative Director Adam Isgreen.
World’s Edge isn’t shutting down, but the studio is being moved under Activision as part of the wider Xbox restructuring.
``What a morning.
FYI World's Edge was not spared completely - just under half the studio was let go - myself included. Been fun, y'all!´´
This is end-stage socialized medicine.
Everyone just dies.
Not because they have the inability to treat you, but because they have no resources left.
So many of the resources for healthcare that these people pay for in high taxes have gone to the migrants and invaders who sponge off the medical care system and don't contribute much to the increased tax base.
Because of that, Canada would much rather just kill their sick citizens to save money, and if it can, harvest their organs and sell them to recoup some costs, reframed as "cost recovery".
What a sick system they have...
Total Chud Victory against Halo Studios. The entire studio was infested with parasites that hated not just Halo but were even afraid of Guns within games. This isn't my usual video, but Halo is very important to me and it finally has good news. https://t.co/T67qZaLrCG
@altaliasaccount@discord They are not being forced to do anything. many countries don't require it, yet they are still choosing to push it globally. for example, here is south africa saying they won't pressure age verification, yet discord will push it onto that country regardless https://t.co/4AIkzx2GEp
As the world fights to Age Verify everything South Africa makes a stand that says NO, audiovisual whitepaper, still has stipulations proposing age verification for video sharing platforms and if that is not removed this gesture is hollow and confused.

27+ states now require a government ID or a selfie to prove your age online.
Discord lost 70,000 of those ID photos in a breach.
A dating app leaked 72,000 selfies.
Sold as child safety.
Built: a database of faces tied to what you looked at.
How fucking dare you use the word of Jesus to push your censorship you should be ashamed of yourself. Anyone using the name of Jesus if prayer is real I pray you burn in hell or change your ways. I'm encouraging everyone to shame Jesus followers who use him as a censorship tool.
@notexttospeech its hard to take the governments forcing angle when a literal country has said we wont be doing this and @discord decides to override the authority of a country of 62M.
what's the point of getting a government to change minds if they do it anyways :

(thread.) All of my time on the internet i barely have used discord much. I created a stoat and a fluxer account after they said they were gonna push for age verification. I've been on fluxer more than discord and stoat. Kind of funny coincidence i lost access to my
🚨 A child sex abuse survivor is suing xAI, claiming it trained Grok on images of her abuse and is now generating new sexual images of her as a child.
Imagine surviving abuse, only for an AI company to resurrect it as training data.
Absolutely horrific.
