This was shared as a "bad" joke but I was so charmed by it I've been thinking about it for days.

The funny part is that this is a totally valid question when it comes to trying to pick apart what you actually think is immortal/unethical vs just icky or bad on a societal level for some reason.

But I can't for the life of me figure out what that means it's a gotcha for atheists.

I pull up my slide show. The first slide says “I do not want to financially support the Church of the Latter Day Saints in any way”. There are murmurs of agreement and approval from the room

Next slide. “Brandon Sanderson is a member of the LDS”. The muttering has changed tone

“It’s not a very big amount of money though.” Someone in the audience pipes up. “His cut is only a small fraction of the cost of the book, and then-“ my next slide shows an income breakdown, it is titled ‘a small fraction of $10,000,000 is still a big number’

I’m sweating. The following slides explain tithing rules. The vibe of the room has shifted. I start to doubt I’m getting out of here alive

Now listen here, just because someone's eyes are stained blue from spice oversaturation doesn't mean you can go around accusing them of having a cult. Lots of blue-eyed people who live in the desert and are named after small mammals don't have cults. Paul "Muad'Dib" Atreides, whose cult took over an entire interstellar empire, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

the annoying thing about the privacy nightmare that is age verification is that this is 100% doable with double-anonymity: The verifier doesn't know what site/app you're verifying your age on, and the site/app doesn't need to know your personal information.

The fun part is that you could do this extremely easily by just bundling a key with an item you can't buy unless you're 18. Like a beer that includes a PGP key, or a pornographic magazine with a page that's a randomly generated key.

The site/app doesn't need to know WHO you are, only that you have access to something you can only get by being 18. This way they're putting the burden of verifying your age onto someone else, someone else who is already legally required to do exactly that.

But no one is interested in developing this because the point of age verification has never been age verification. it's always been governments trying to tie a real-world ID to internet identities, and companies trying to get more private information on users so they can sell it to advertisers.

(and also, it's not like this would be a good system even if it'd work and do what it says it'd do: We shouldn't be blocking minors off of large parts of the internet just for the sin of being underage, especially when "mature" labeling gets applied to more than just pornography. Queer teens shouldn't be separated from their support groups by parents who don't think they're mature enough to learn about that, for example)

I feel like valve is being targeted here.

Someone wants Gabe gone.

[punishedagenttorture]

Valve just doesn't fuck over their consumer. Very easy to not fuck up, yet the other retards keep painting the walls with their own brains anyway.

What also always amazed me is how in 2020, somehow Biden's evil "election-stealing" machinations were able to be implemented while TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT, as well as in states like Georgia, where elections were run by REPUBLICANS.

And yet, in 2024, when Biden was the ACTUAL PRESIDENT, he was NOT able to use those same evil machinations to "steal" the election for his VP and Democrats.

That's a real head-scratcher, that one.
