It's okay, I'm sure a similar thing won't happen with Australia's social media lockdown for kids
Traffic to Pornhub has fallen by more than 75% in the UK since the introduction of the Online Safety Act, as legal adults have shifted to the thousands non-compliant sites, supercharging the growth of platforms that don't moderate for pirated content, revenge porn and CSAM
An unmitigated disaster.

Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"
Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

I love getting a drink in a busy cafe and then joining a couple at their table when there's nowhere else to sit. Most couples are welcoming.

The AEC has created the new electorate of Bullwinkel. The seat is named for Lt Vivian Bullwinkel, the sole survivor of 22 nurses involved in the 1942 Bangka Massacre. Before being gunned down they were viciously raped. The perps were nver brought to justice. Now when I vote I will always remember.

12/ To my surprise, Weiner agreed to many hours of interviews. He's calm, cool and collected. The bottom line, he said, was that without him, St. Peter’s had no cancer center: “You want me to keep seeing everyone? Then you’re going to pay me more, because I’m doing more work.”...

An underskilled or careless "therapist" can do *so much* harm and is absolutely not better than nothing.
A huge part of being a good therapist is practicing within your scope and level of expertise and referring on when your client's needs outweigh your skills.

“Engineers who designed virtual nurses or AI therapists often told me their technology was ‘better than nothing,’ particularly useful for low-income people who can’t catch the attention of busy nurses in community clinics, for example, or who can’t afford therapy.”

Some reasons a shelter might not be appropriate!
Some shelters are for a single night and do not have adequate safe storage for your possessions or a guarantee for the following night. If you own a tent and do not want it getting stolen in exchange for a single indoor night, that's not practical 1/

This is so true here as well - there are many reasons and many ways that not all shelters are appropriate, or even available, to all people
Long term or permanent housing with dignity for all people is the solution.

So while the Mayor’s Administration was consistently telling the public that “60% of homeless people refuse shelter,” the truth, as we have long asserted, is that acceptance rates depend on WHAT shelter is being offered. 5/

The "logistical reasons" were clearly because she couldn't whistle with the head on
I used to work in a holiday camp. One of the other entertainers gave me a blow job while dressed in the Peppa Pig costume, although she had to take the head off for logistical reasons.
