Call or Write Congress About H.R. 8250: Parents Decide Act - GovTrack.us

Quick and easy link to both find your congressmen/women and giving you a quick and easy way to copy / paste the message into it. You want to oppose. It's an act that will demand that all major OS makers integrate a direct forced age verification control into all OS.

[rudavoidish]

I received a comment on this that I figured would be very helpful- it's a template for communicating with your representatives. Be sure to use it for reference

Dear Representative [Name],

I am writing to express my strong opposition to H.R. 8250 (The "Parents Decide Act"). As your constituent and a concerned citizen, I believe this bill introduces unprecedented risks to digital privacy and security.

Specifically, I am alarmed by:

SEC. 2(a)(1)(B): Requiring age verification to even use an operating system creates a mandatory "hardware lockout" that ends anonymous computing and forces users to hand over sensitive identification data to major corporations just to power on their devices.

SEC. 2(a)(3): Mandating that OS providers create a system for all app developers to access verification data is a massive security vulnerability. This effectively creates a centralized API of user identities accessible to thousands of third-party developers, many of whom may lack adequate data protection.

This bill does not protect children; it creates a centralized surveillance infrastructure at the OS level. I urge you to protect the privacy of your constituents and vote NO on H.R. 8250.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[Your Zip Code]

[willowtree1527]

This is a hell that us down under in Australia are already living in, and it’s not even effective at what it claims to do in protecting children.

Given that, in the wake of this mandatory identification policy, my country seems to be moving to hand over its citizens biometric data, like fingerprints, Face ID files, and identification documents, over to the USA and to ICE to maintain the visa free travel (ESTA) we have, I strongly urge any US resident to send these emails, or make calls.

But if you can’t do that, the most powerful thing you can do is spread the word. Tell your friends, family, coworkers, anyone who can help.

My reach will likely be small, and so I don’t know if this will mean very much in the grand scheme of things, but I cannot stand to see this tracking happen to another population as it did to mine.

And if you think it won’t affect you, it will. All anonymity goes out the window when your accounts can be linked via your personal ID

I wish you all luck in preventing this act from going through.

My emotions about space travel, and the history of, are strong today.

Here's my unedited video of the Artemis II launch! I didn't get the best angle because honestly, I wanted to live in the moment and watch humans travel to the Moon without having to worry about my camera, but it still came out pretty neat. I'm gonna probably edit it into something that looks (and sounds) better later, but right now, please enjoy!

The first photos are coming in from Artemis II, and they are stunning. Photos of our home planet from humans we are sending further than anyone has gone before.

And now two more. The first of which being taken by Commander Reid Wiseman just minutes from the other Blue Marble picture seen above, showcasing the effect of different camera setting on space photography. Pictures of our home, where all but four of us are looking up from.

it has been like at least eight years and sometimes I still think to myself, when I am tired, “but I am le tired… well then take a nap! AND THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES” even though in retrospect that is like one of the most embarrassingly unfunny videos to ever come out of the internet

AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified

Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.

whenever i see a post about someone wondering how an  asexual and a sexual can be in a healthy relationship there’s always someone being applauded for saying well asexuals can have sex too or just because someone’s asexual doesn’t mean they won’t have sex but i have never, not once, EVER seen someone say well hey, some sexuals don’t have sex. you can have a full relationship without sex. just throwing it out there

[applesandbannas747]

Everyone in the notes saying polyamory and open relationships are great fixes for this too are missing the point. Ace people can have sex—and, yes, some enjoy sex. Yes, open relationships can be loving and healthy for ace people too. But ultimately you’re saying asexuality needs to be fixed by access to sex somehow. To quote op ‘you can have a full relationship without sex’. Your suggestion to find sex outside of the relationship with an ace partner completely misses that point.

[answrs]

sorry but you’re not hiding this in the tags:

#it may be surprising to learn this. but allos can choose to be celibate. famously there are entire religious orders where this is a thing #and a catholic nun who stays celibate her whole life can in fact still have a very full and meaningful life with important relationships #it’s not the end of the fucking world #there are people who don’t drive too. there are people who have never seen a mountain. there are people who don’t play video games. #human experience is too wide to be like ohh if you never do This One Thing then you are sufferinggg like chill maybe

[ariaste]

The problem, as I see it, is that many people (across the spectrum of sexuality) equate sex with intimacy, often so strongly that sex becomes the only form of intimacy that there is, and that the phrase “being intimate with your partner” is understood as a euphemism for sex.

Once you separate those two concepts, a LOT more possibilities come into view, because in actuality, sex is just one of many possible ways of satisfying a hunger for intimacy. Some people feed that hunger by snuggling, or hair-washing, or other forms of non-sexual physical contact. Some people fill it with shared activities and hobbies, like playing video games or board games or doing a puzzle or going hiking or taking a class together or chilling at the library. Some people fill it by talking for hours or sharing secrets they’d never tell anyone else, either in person or online. Some people fill it with small acts of service, like cooking for someone or bringing them flowers. Some people fill it with just sitting together in companionable, comfortable silence. All of these can be intimacy.

This is how sexual and asexual people can have happy, fulfilling relationships with each other – it just requires more conversations about what the two of you specifically need to mutually feel like you’re thriving in the relationship. That answer is going to be different for every single person – and that is a wonderful and joyful opportunity to explore your options and get to know yourself better! There’s no rulebook! If you feel happy and satiated afterwards (or “peaceful” or “energized” or whatever label you’d put on the Good feeling after getting this need met), then you’re doing it right.

Also – note that intimacy does not equal “romance” either. If you have a particular coworker you gossip with, that’s an intimacy you’re sharing with that person. If hugging your mom or grandma makes you feel particularly comforted and safe, that’s an intimacy you have with her. If there’s a friend you tell good news to before anyone else, that’s an intimacy you have with that person. By expanding your definition of “intimacy” far beyond sex and romance, you start to see all these small moments of connection you’re having with MANY different people in MANY different varieties of relationship. The more you can learn to appreciate and value those connections, the more enriched your life will be. Congratulations, you’re a member of a social species!

About Zayn’s story — we all know how smart the boys are, and how there’s always a reason behind everything they do.

First of all, the leopard itself has a whole story.( I will talk about that )

But right now I’m stuck on the watch. The moment I saw it, it started messing with my head because it felt… familiar. And yeah.
