Come, it’s a small price to pay.

As long as our glorious leaders can protect shitrael and their complicity in wiping Palestinians off the face of the planet.

Who are we to complain about not being able to watch porn. 🤔

BTW my Etsy shop for fake faces and id’s will be open soon, so form an orderly queue and have your readies, er ready!

Thanks to Adam’s comment above I just checked with the internet and now have to change my VPN due to BDS and surveillance concerns - here’s what I found:

Many popular VPNs are NOT Israeli-developed. The following are major non-Israeli VPN providers, based on recent industry reviews and discussions:

• NordVPN — Developed by Nord Security, a company based in Panama with Lithuanian founders. It is not Israeli-owned.

• Proton VPN — Developed by Proton AG, a Swiss company, and widely respected for privacy features.

• Mullvad — Operated by Mullvad VPN AB, a Swedish company known for its strong privacy stance.

• Surfshark — Based in the Netherlands, not Israeli-owned.

• Windscribe — A Canadian company offering free and paid VPN services.

• TunnelBear — Based in Canada; provides both free and premium VPN options.

• PrivadoVPN — Headquartered in Switzerland.

Be aware that some popular VPNs such as ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, and ZenMate have been acquired by Kape Technologies, a company with Israeli ownership. These are excluded from the above list.

Hope this helps.

I am overjoyed!! Up until now, I had no warmth for AI, but since it is the first intelligence that has approved my observation about Starmer's anus-face, I am persuaded. I don't suppose you have asked it whether that face shows any signs of having lived- you know, the usual marks of guilt, regret, sorrow, loss? No? Well, I must get the hang of asking penetrating questions. I never thought AI would master metaphor! Maybe it writes poetry?... I can't wait for the clenched hands, the Pepsodent smile, the superlative dentures, all from Lordy, Lordy Ali...

I've always thought he looks like a small dogs arsehole. You know certain breeds of little dogs have ENORMOUS arseholes for their size (it must be where their egos live) - and though thet make you cringe you can't stop seeing them. That's the same effect his smug mug has on me.

Western government criticised Chinas Uyghurs genocide whilst they encouraged and support Israels Palestinian genocide.

UK Of Devil IsRael is far worse than China. China, Iran and Yemen are the saviours of our time from the Evil Devil IsRael.

Please tell me that the every citizen of Earth sees the hypocrisy in "saving the children" of the UK while bombing and sniping the children of Palestine.

"Mind control is essential for the safety of children everywhere... apart from the children in Gaza. Who cares about those?" Ouch!

It hurts as it's true. Good lord, what next?

For non-gamers (and those outside the UK), this is now what it says when you try to access the page of a developer on Itch.io who has developed at least one game with ''adult'' content:

"Content unavailable in your region

We're sorry — this content is not available in your region.

Due to regulatory requirements established by the United Kingdom’s communications regulator (Ofcom), this page has been restricted from access within the UK due to the Online Safety Act.

We value our users around the world and are committed to complying with local laws and regulations. While we are currently unable to provide this specific content or service to users in the UK, we continue to evaluate our offerings and compliance framework, and we hope to make more content available in the future.

Page owners can navigate to the Distribute -> Geo Restrictions section in their project's dashboard to submit an appeal if they feel the restriction is incorrectly applied.

Thank you for your understanding.

Go to itch.io"

So, for instance, I was looking to download one of ebi-hime's horror games. She writes a lot of visual novels and while personally I'm not especially interested in her ones with dating and/or sex, I have zero objections to people buying content about //fictional// characters who can't even be exploited because they're not real!!!

Instead:

https://ebihime.itch.io/

Blocked! So, I guess it's time to find a non-Israeli developed VPN...

"For example, Sir Keir Starmer was banned from social media after AI mistook his face for an anus and accused him of obscenity."

Thats a bit harsh on honest hard-working sphincters everywhere.

They do, after all, prevent us from blowing out with excremental overload: unlike ShirKier, who is, when all is said and done, a bit of a bung for the oi£igarch$ $hit$how war-eKKKonomix..currently on full display in the starved genocidal concentration camp of occupied Palestine.

"Social media companies are even hiding your own posts from you until they can verify it's safe for you to see them".

But coming soon: "Social media companies are even hiding your own thoughts from you until they can verify it's safe for you to see think them".

*****

1984 :“Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to [insert establishment of the day], and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity.”

The U.K. is moving further and further towards a police state, be that cameras, right to protest, freedom of speech and now this.

As long as you support the “right causes” you can support genocide, if it’s the “wrong cause” you can’t even tell the time.
