    If you have a decent PC, for the graphics, Monster Hunter: World’s character creator works for some website selfie verifications… For some it doesn’t, however I’ll be pirating Death Stranding to give it a go for those ones.

    Just thought of throwing that out there. I just pointed my webcam at my monitor with the game running, turned the head a bit and it did the trick.

      The first thing Labour does after getting majority is attack trans women and fuck around with internet privacy.

      Bloody wankers.

        Leftists for years have been screaming that the Labour party was a grift. They are the typical right-wing chuds parading around with leftist rhetoric, explicitly so they could pull the rug once they gained power.

        If Labour truly had wanted to keep its majority, it should first:

        1. Solidify the social welfare state, for everyone. Tax the billionnaires and multimillionnaires by a lot. Nationalise companies. Call it “reduction of bureaucracy” (because not having to go through all sorts of hoops and exceptions to get social help, REDUCES bureaucracy; and making state rail etc. also can break away the dependency of the UK on London!)

        2. I don’t like this one, but it could sharply restrict immigration, and advertise that it does this a lot. It should however not be like the Danish or Australian model - it should be more humane; eg. those that already live here, can stay. It should paint those that want to make it inhumane, as “unrealistic” and “opening floodgates” (cus it will have people run even harder to the UK, because higher risk, higher reward). Fight the lion by its own weapon.

        3. Quietly actually improve queer rights (ESPECIALLY including trans). Denounce the Cass report as fake news, put in informed consent, etc. Be sure to do this quietly a few days after a big news event, so that the public is distracted.

        4. Remove those privacy-infringing spy laws. Leave the 14 Eyes, remove thousands of cameras. And actually lock up the far-right politicians without parole, for 20 years, and make them get rehabilitated. Idk what Mao did to convince Pu Yi to be a good communist, but something like that.

        And why does Labour not do this? Because Keir has sold out his own party. While he’s from the right party, he has turned it away from the people, when the very thing Labour should do, is to be there for and by the people of the UK!

        And while we’re at it, Labour could put in a proportional representation system. If Labour were to stand to win some seats from such a system, then Starmer could perhaps be convinced of the usefulness of doing so. It’s the wrong reason, sure, but it’s the right thing to do: proportionality. Starmer should furthermore seek much closer cooperation to the EU. In these times where fascists threaten left and right, we should do everything to combat it.

          What restrictive Australian immigration model are you referring to? We’ve had high immigration levels for the last 30 years, the only blip was for covid in 2020.

          We have in the last two years tightened our immigration levels (lowered them) less than both the UK and the US, by a lot - US has doubled our reduction, UK has more than quadrupled it. If you follow ‘the Australian model’ you’ll have to let in a heap more people.

      I left the UK because best case scenario, Labour would continue internet monitoring and censorship, and keep brexit. Fuck em.

      I told those people millions of times to vote for Lib Dems or greens, “oh but third party blah blah” ok great. Somehow , Reform , despite being a third party is about to eat the conservatives.

        Fundamentally, half of the electorate needs to collaborate on a single third party and be convinced that enough other people will also vote that way so their vote isn’t thrown away. A coalition involving the Greens (for example) as a minority party won’t give them enough power to change anything.

        The only way out of this – unless Reform get into power and abolish First Past the Post in their own interests while not undermining democracy in other ways, which would be a silver lining on a very dark cloud – is if the public put a ton of pressure on the government for voting reform.

        The calls are getting louder, and groups like the ERS have started to publish promising polling recently, but it needs a monumental effort.

          Judging by New Labour’s absolute majority on 32% of votes cast with a turnout of 60%, you don’t need half of the electorate to collaborate, just a little less than one fifth.

          You need much less than that if the point is merelly to screw up New Labour’s electoral chances.

    Who the fuck asked them to do that anyway? Aren’t they supposedly a left wing government?

    Yarrrr mateys, private torrent trackers don’t have an age-gate!

    There’s definitely a handful of private porn torrent trackers.

    Then you don’t have to hit an age gate anymore because it’s safely stored on your own hard drives.

      Question: don’t those private trackers require some sort of verification themselves?
