The irony of this image being censored .

[-] crimeschneck@sopuli.xyz 71 points 23 hours ago

You have to verify your age to see the uncensored image.

It's an older meme, sir. But it checks out. We were going to let it pass.

Not like 'murca where you have to register your photo ID in order to fap.

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 12 points 12 hours ago

you mean kinda like how you have to upload a photo of your face to do the same in Britain?

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 9 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

I just skip two steps and crank one out to the picture of my face

[-] breecher@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

And also censor swearwords on the internet.

[-] jonman364@sh.itjust.works 13 points 17 hours ago

Huh? It's that way in some states but wasn't it recently made that way in the entire UK?

[-] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 hours ago

In my state they tried that but everyone ignored the law because they didn't include a way to enforce it.

Pornhub and only pornhub is blocked but if I gave a shit I'd use a VPN

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 10 hours ago

It's the same in the UK. The politicians bitch and moan about it but they're not actually going to do anything about VPN because that would be far too complicated to work out and enforce, and it would force them to admit that the law doesn't work, and they don't want to draw attention to that.

[-] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago

I know e621 was blocked for awhile but then they realized there was literally no punishment for ignoring the law lol

I can't believe the TV license is real. I just can't. I guess it helps makes good tv tho

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 30 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Americans fund public TV and radio infrastructure through taxes, Brits just make it opt-out if you meet certain criteria by labeling it as a license.

You tell me which has more "freedom."

[-] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 21 hours ago

The one where I don't have to upload my I.D. to watch porn, BABY! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅

Sometimes I forget how much freedoms we have in Washington State. The only thing is strict gun laws, but it's mostly background checks and limited magazine sizes

The TV license is definitely real. All the others are fake though (I believe).

The early idea was to support the state-owned and state-operated channels through taxes. Then the channels got privatized and now the taxes are going straight into the pockets of The Brexit Bunch. I mean why would they voluntarily cut off a money source that people were already paying.

[-] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

In San Diego they had a toll bridge.. once it was paid for they kept the toll. When asked why they were still charging a toll... They said the toll booths still cost money to run. They had to be sued for the toll to stop

[-] nialv7@lemmy.world 11 points 21 hours ago

Having to charge toll because they need money to run the toll booths is the most Kafkaesque thing I have heard in a while.

[-] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 1 day ago

This is/was a thing in many other European countries too.

In Austria it used to be (not long ago, a few years at most) that only people who owned a TV needed to pay it, not anymore, now every household has to pay it, so it is basically a household tax.
