This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

A small victory! Chat Control has been tabled for now, but it can [and likely will] be brought up for vote again in December

In the meantime, EU citizens will need to continue pressuring their respective govts to oppose chat control

However, do so knowing that pressure WORKS.

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 1d

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

This comment I got on my Pac-Man PB is crazy

rule of @thecamishere4344. 9h ago (edited)

:

rule of thumb, FOCUS WHEN YOU'RE IN A SPEEDRUN. Looking away is gonna cost you big time like omg.... that is so annoying. and no idc if you got a message from work or a whatsapp group, you actively chose to perform this speedrun so no you didn't have yo answer it during a speedrun. you do it before or after. it's simple. You don't let that distract you if you're trying to do well in a speedrun. I've never heard of anyone making such a foolish/basic error.

wtf, this could've been avoided easily. I hope others that speedrun this do better than you by a longshot

When I was growing up, one of my Uncles had a barbecue in which he burned and charred all the meat

I, as a child with no filter: "I don't like how burnt this is."
My Uncle, as a joke: "It's not burnt. It's Cajun."
Me: "Well then, I don't like Cajun!"

Didn't try Cajun food for 27 years for that

In that Lasombra trailer, I saw people in the comments talking about how it is bad writing that a Neonate would talk shit to their elder.
But dawg. This is Lasombra. You're too Camarilla brained for this shit. Lasombra are new to the Cam, and they didn't join to be liked. They joined because 2I

Unfortunately Hans passed, but the unpaid bills remain and Brett needs help covering them to remain housed. Please pitch in or share around.

Thank you to all who've donated. The remaining funds will go to cover outstanding bills for both the vet and the bills I've let lapse over the last two weeks to pay for this, as well as paying back people who helped me front costs. Thank you all <3

I am so scary, that the most cowardly, loser-ass, unfucked dipshits want to take my rights away!

Too bad I'm here to stay! Too bad I probably live in their dreams.

UK response to the payment processor petition:

Government responded

This response was given on 6 October 2025

Payment processors are able to choose who they process payments for, subject to any relevant requirements. The Government has no plans to intervene in those commercial decisions.

Read the response in full

The Government recognises the important role payments plays in supporting a resilient, diverse and growing economy. The Government is committed to ensuring that the UK’s payment system works for all, allowing businesses and customers to transact with confidence.

The Government recognises that it is important for businesses to have greater choice in the forms of payment that they can accept. The National Payments Vision, published in November 2024, set out the Government’s ambition for a world-leading payments ecosystem, where consumers and businesses have a choice of payment methods to meet their needs. A key part of this ambition is the continued development of Open Banking, which enables consumers to make purchases using a wider range of payment methods, including account-to-account payments, thereby increasing competition in the payments sector. HM Treasury is working closely with the financial services regulators to deliver these outcomes.

Decisions regarding which businesses payment processors contract with are a commercial matter, taking into account the relevant requirements on the firm. These decisions will be influenced by a variety of factors, and the Government has no plans to intervene in those commercial decisions.

I drink alcohol occasionally, but there's no drive to have more
I smoke weed, but only if i can afford it
I've smoked tobacco, but stopped to save $
I love gambling, but always stick to my budget

If I can have empathy for those struggling with addiction, you have no excuse. You're just an asshole.
