"Here's another small tweak: Fold the line back on itself to form a grid!"

Give it a half twist and you can live on both sides.

it is very effective on accidental arriving to those sites.
not effective if a minor really want to see it, either steal their parents IDs, or ask a older brother or simply search for unblocked sites.

porn will ever exist and minors will always be able to find a way, but at least they will be older and smarter, not age of 7 trying to understand what site is that one that they eared in school

Social apps, chats and games are right now a mess for young people. parents should not give a phone to a kid, nor allow them to play online without exactly knowing what is the game culture. but at least this kind of actions may help.
Notice that this may also help the reverse, blocking adults from entering kids games and social apps... while adults with kids may be easy to bypass, adults without kids will have harder time to bypass this checks too

how? Any system will list what is being request and will not have access to other data.
i can ask the age, now what? only older than 50 can see the site?
if you have a site that have anti-gov site, maybe you don't install and require the app?

if it ask name, you can say no, just like now you can login with google, facebook, etc... but say no and login with email or phone and not connect to the other sites.
the web admins will choose what to ask and the users accept or not what to share.

if you want to block a site, it is easier to just block the dns and IPs

Those were started by big private corporations fighting legit governments in central America

Just because you never feel it, doesn't mean that it didn't happen and for sure will happen again in the future

a system well designed will only be able to check the age field of your ID card, nothing else
the current system we already have in Portugal to authenticate in government sites lists what is trying to read and you can approve or not. it list what fields are requests, so you confirm if they are asking the age or something else. Expand this system to be standard and you have a clean and safe way to confirm the age

not all government are corrupt/useless like USA, cental America, middle-east and most African countries
There are for sure no perfect governments, but many actually work well... but USA always think that any government that takes care of their own is communist, that is why they don't get it

My ID card have a chip that can be read using a card reader. Maybe newer versions will have nfc.
the data is encrypted with several keys, you are only allowed to read using the approved software and only get the keys for what you are allowed to read. (no background read of everything both the software denies and even if you hack it, it is still encrypted)
I also have my ID card in the phone as a virtual card using the national ID app

Any site can install the card software and request the data, the user will read the card or approve the app reading the card. It will show what data will be read before approving. you can deny if you think it is too much, usually it is just my national ID and name for most sites, but porn ones could ask only the age and nothing more.
the site receives the data signed by the card (physical or virtual) and prove that the info is correct

all that is needed is card reader/nfc for desktop, or a phone app/browser that can call the phone national ID app

At least in Portugal, i already use something similar for authentication in several government sites, namely the tax filling site

What the fuck is wrong with Americans? The moment anyone says something as benign as "let's all agree to be nice to each other" you lead poisoned fucks start screaming some shit about communism. No wonder your country is descending into a socio political shithole.

Short answer, CO2 is bad for the environment. On average, it's also bad for plants at present-day levels.

CO2 is plant junk food, on average plants only benefit from it up to 400ppm (which we've already exceeded), beyond that it begins to harm crop nutrition. Certain plants can benefit from higher CO2 levels at particular growth stages but that doesn't mean those levels are good for most plants most of the time.

And that's without getting into the possibility of the plants being destroyed by a flood or wildfire or drought brought on by global warming that comes along with the higher CO2. CO2 levels that would be ideal for plants growing in a theoretical greenhouse would be too high for everything else in the environment, directly unhealthy for any humans inhaling the air, and catastrophic to established human settlements.

Not any comment on this discussion itself. It does not actually appear that you were trolling, etc. However, you have to admit that calling yourself a troll in your username doesn't help a lot when it comes to people accusing you of trolling.

I'm pretty sure that ball was not supposed to be rubber. Of the things to object to there, that seems like a silly thing to object to. A more problematic thing to worry about would be the electric net gun that easily takes down the god of thunder. Not to mention the tiny little electric disk that can zap him into submission. I get that it's supposed to be advanced alien technology and that maybe more is going on than just an electric shock, but it's still a bit silly when a superhero goes from being who can withstand the full force of a star to being neutralized by a tiny little device that's apparently a dime a dozen.

Of course I've always been bothered by that kind of thing in and out of comics. Stuff like power cancellation collars. You can be the mightiest, most invulnerable super-being but oops, get this collar around your neck and that's it. It's power-neutralizing you see. Doesn't matter what power or how it's achieved, it just neutralizes it. Regardless of how much actual power, a commodity, off the rack device will cancel it.

Bothers me a heck of a lot more than Thor knocking himself over with something he threw because he wasn't paying attention. Also, MCU Thor was pretty much always played like that.

Off topic but, in relation to your .sig, I remember a joke from Steve Wozniak's joke book (he co-wrote it with someone but can't remember the other guy offhand). It went something like:

A programmer had as his epitaph: Let it be known that, although he was bent, spindles and mutilated. He did not fold!

"Hollywood accounting" like that is why stars insist on percentages of box office receipts (as well as disc sales, streaming sales, etc.) in any profit sharing arrangement these days.

They're full on calling empathy a sin now. I mean, how much more far gone can they get?

Warner Brothers Discovery and the Safran company, who are behind this movie, are publicly traded companies. Those profits from the stock market are predicated on actual investment in actual products somewhere along the line.
