We’ve never really needed to use photo ID in England and never had problems with fraud. You can only visit one polling station one time, the system worked fine. The Tories changed it to deliberately disenfranchise the poor who are less likely to have these types of ID, and they did this because they’re scum.
Yeah fair point. I’m just thinking I’d call it a mental health issue more than an actual addiction. Extreme phobias are psychological and this stuff sounds kinda like the opposite of a porn phobia.
I suppose the feeling is that no actual children are harmed in making AI porn. It’s still something that sexualises kids though so I’m not sure how valid that argument is.
I kind of feel that the term ‘addiction’ is being used a bit freely these days. If you’re addicted to heroin, for example, and you’re unable to access the drug you are sick as fuck for a week. That’s not just a psychological phenomenon, it’s physical too. If a porn addict is unable to access porn I find it hard to believe that they suffer similarly. That said, people manage to mess up their lives pretty profoundly with gambling so perhaps it’s better to define addiction based on the harm done to someone life rather than the consequences of withdrawal.
The problem with democracy is that to really work it requires an informed electorate, and a lot of the information the electorate get is propaganda. But like you say, I don’t have a better alternative to offer.
Hate speech can also incite violence against targeted groups. I’m fine with freedom of speech but there’s got to be a line somewhere. I’m not sure whether this legislation is over the line or not, we’ll see how it’s enforced.
Alas I’m in England, no trader Joe’s here!
Same with banana yoghurt. You rarely see it, no idea why because it’s yummy.
Yeah, if I see a green river I think pollution.
Well that’s grim.
E.g. Belle Delphine bathwater stunt.
Do I want to know what this is?
Yeah I see this fairly often on lemmy, the same stories going round again and again for a week or so.
