IUDs and some birth control pills work by preventing implantation. Those would be banned, too.

This is just like what's happening in the conservative states where abortion has been banned and criminalized. Hospitals have dissolved their maternity wings altogether because of the risk that the hospital faces. It's the same for trans health care. The risk is too great, even if they follow the laws. Backlash over false claims on Twitter is bad enough by itself for a company.

Based on the other comments, they blocked the raw url.

That's so cool. I've never heard of that before.

Do you know how old he was when he developed the white patches?

I've been enjoying Connect. It's much simpler than the other apps I've tried.

I switched from Chrome to Firefox somewhat recently. The experience really isn't any different, except Firefox doesn't use 110% of your CPU.

I have a ton of privacy extensions which causes a few issues when creating accounts by linking to your Google account (the pop-up is blocked) or opening redirect links to apps (I think it's only Discord that I've had an issue with). I don't consider those drawbacks because the browser is doing its job. Instead, I go copy and paste the link in Chrome.

I'd say that's the correct take on drug use. Are you trying to argue that you're not addicted?

Same with my patched RiF

I could see this actually gaining popularity from their Instagram user base. Twitter doesn't attract younger people or influencers. It'll be like discovering Facebook for gen z, where they can also share text posts. Maybe that'll attract the people who left Twitter for turning alt-right. If it gets big enough, public figures could even leave Twitter. I'd be shocked if that happened, but a gal can hope.

This isn't something I have any interest and I hate meta as much as anyone else here, but I'm interested in seeing how it will play out. If we can't escape capitalism, at least we can watch it as a social experiment.
