Important reminder: IAEA calls them “orphan sources” because you can and should adopt them, especially since a radioactive source is “orphaned” every day, on average :(
Ignore the “sales” offered by unscrupulous breeder reactors, and please: this Black Friday, consider adoption ❤️☢️❤️

It would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

It is a bit alarming, when rereading Machiavelli's The Prince, that it lands as reportage rather than political theory. However, I find great comfort in the fact that they are really effing it up.

CJEU rules that an EU member state refusing to recognize a same-sex marriage performed in another violates freedom of movement/residence and the right to family and private life. Massive win.
BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.
🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.
This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Valve's anti-art policies are downstream from payment processors breaking their balls, and don't put kids in your adult game unless you are really, really careful about separating them from the "action"
Steam, the go-to destination for childlike anime smut, is so worried about one scene in this art game that it isn’t even letting the developers resubmit it.

hey! if I send you an invoice, shut the fuck up. do not mention NSFW stuff or even the word "furry" or anything, Paypal is company of dickbags searching for any excuse to harass creators. using invoices is the smartest/best/safest way of working as a comm artist, and this is explicit targeting
Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.
