Today's Load-bearing Tomato addresses the age old question:
"why don't the devs just [SOCIAL MEDIA OPINION]"
It turns out, "a lot of reasons", but if you never have to test your ideas, you never have to discover why they're not any good.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

BREAKING⚡️The High Court has just ruled that the government's draconian ban of Palestine Action was unlawful. This is a massive blow to the Home Office’s authoritarian approach. They need to stop criminalising people protesting a genocide and start ending the UK's complicity

It was closed because of EIGHT complaints over care.
At least five of which were complaining about the fear that it could be suddenly closed.
So at most THREE patients complained out of 12000.
=> 0.025%
It resulted in an increase in suicides among trans youth

Genuinely, if you live in the UK you should so the consultation just to find out some of the unbelievable details of what's being proposed. Even with their spin and obfuscation it's shocking
the whole thing is of course completely revolting. 20 YEARS to settlement for refugees? no settlement if you’ve ever had a criminal conviction or a tax debt? 10 YEARS added if you’ve ever received benefits? partners and children on their own routes to settlement? What are you even TALKING about

Channel 4's 'Palestine Action, The Truth behind the ban' reveals that despite all the things the govt claimed & implied about PA (Iranian backed, violent, secret intel etc), the real reason they proscribed the group as terrorists was because PA was damaging property. Thats it.

a nice thing about when the internet was a bunch of little sites and servers was that it was a lot harder for governments to pressure "the chat provider everyone uses" to implement age verification.
