I am so furious at YouTube for doing this. You have literal gambling ads plastered across your website. The video you take action on contains no real gambling, and is promoting an LGBTQ+ children's charity fundraiser. Absolutely horrendous image and optics for the website. Completely moronic
I am beyond upset, YouTube has age restricted my video tonight for thinking it depicts real actual gambling. The video is on CloeverPit and contains no real gambling, but does contain a massive charity push for The Trevor Project. Last time this happened I almost quit YouTube

In living memory the NHS tortured, at minimum, hundreds of LGBTQ+ people with electric shocks and chemical emetics. Mostly young people, including children. And nobody involved so much as lost their job over it.

one of the main reasons trans healthcare moved away from strict gatekeeping and toward informed consent & GAC is that trans ppl who were denied the means to transition would simply seek it out elsewhere
What did you think would happen when you restricted access to care?

CAIL = prerequisite knowledge for a critical perspective, such as to tell apart nonsense hype from true theoretical computer scientific claims. For example, the idea that human-like systems are a sensible or possible goal is the result of circular reasoning and anthropomorphism. olivia.science/ai

Most people know not to ask chatGPT for medical advice.

Make sure "most" is "all" in your circles, reach out to your friends and talk to them if they're being sucked in, community answers questions better than any chatbot.

"And let's not forget the generous wartime donations made by the people of Bengal in 1943, for which Churchill expressed his gratitude!"

Question. Are British liberals capable of acknowledging the humanity of brown people without sounding like the gutter-dwellings hounds of a dead empire?
"Let's not forget, when we remember the service and the sacrifice with this poppy, that the people who bled and died for our democracy and our freedom, weren't just my grandfather who looked like me & worshipped the same God, but people across Empire & Commonwealth, who were Muslim, Sikh & Hindu'
