This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not like 'murca where you have to register your photo ID in order to fap.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 10 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

that is coming to the UK and the EU soon. It is almost like these people are saying "while Trump is doing some outrageous shit, lets slip in a couple quickies ourselves shall we?"

Yeah I think a lot of people don't realise how significant these changes are going to be. It's a big increment of the surveillance state. The fuckin Labour party are making a big lurch to the right, the Palestine Action thing is another sign of the times.

I just skip two steps and crank one out to the picture of my face

Huh? It's that way in some states but wasn't it recently made that way in the entire UK?

In my state they tried that but everyone ignored the law because they didn't include a way to enforce it.

Pornhub and only pornhub is blocked but if I gave a shit I'd use a VPN

It's the same in the UK. The politicians bitch and moan about it but they're not actually going to do anything about VPN because that would be far too complicated to work out and enforce, and it would force them to admit that the law doesn't work, and they don't want to draw attention to that.

I know e621 was blocked for awhile but then they realized there was literally no punishment for ignoring the law lol
