According to the statement someone else linked now, they will ask devs about whether they comply with the payment processors' terms, and it sounds like those processors will otherwise be unavailable. They just had to blanket remove like this for now because they don't actually have sufficient knowledge about all the games' content.

We'll see what will happen, and if it turns out devs are getting screwed in the long run, someone will fill the new market niche anyway.

Belgium did it. But since it's only one country (and I think maybe one other?) the result is mostly belgians being annoyed that they can't use some features in some games.

Youtube has the video ID as a query parameter, to use the most obvious example...

It reads that way esp with all the tankies on here but I don't think that's what they meant. Just that the leadership is good at not letting capitalism take their authoritarian power via money in spite of otherwise letting it run rampant. Which doesn't help the people at all but is remarkable in a way.

It seems to somehow come through. At least my grandma, who is now in a retirement home and I'm pretty sure gets her news only from TV and radio, lists netanyahu in the same sentence as trump and putin as horrible people that should really die asap.

The few articles from traditional media I've read myself did feel that way though.

If you're trying to play a real time online game, you will notice if your upload capacity is hogged elsewhere.

Same with anything using TCP because you need to send packets back.

The country code for the UK is 0044. Since that replaces the leading 0, it works out perfectly.

It does seem sensible to require some proof of some set time of hrt for trans athletes in top level competition, and that's about it. Once you've been on E for a while all studies I'm aware of show there really isn't any inherent advantage to being AMAB.

And for any lower competition levels it doesn't really matter anyway since you can likely find cis women that are better than the men anyway, so who cares if some trans girl has some physical advantage while she waits for hrt to start or whatever.

Note that from some countries (germany at least) you might need a vpn to access the 18+ parts of DLsite (on that note, both steam and gog have a few porn games delisted if you're in germany, thanks to some "think of the children" people, but JAST sells them anyway if they have it)

While the effect of not having as much random porn on steam is kinda nice, the underlying reasons for this are fucking horrifying because it's further proof that some giant american companies (visa, paypal, mastercard) are the global morality police.

And it's just random porn subgenres getting removed anyway so it kinda does nothing about the flood of those anyway.

It definitely feels like human civilization as we know it is nearing its end, be it from climate change or ww3, so probably that.

More like an ok conductor, but yea that's what I meant with the blood (and whatever other ways water exists in our body). Though even pure water is more conductive than air by orders or magnitude.
