Otherworldly Being

[Mr EliteL]

Ah, thanks Shira. No worries being late, I'm a Slowbro myself.

I did end up buying a shoulder bag from Prime Day that happened during the week, got a Powerbank as well. Oh noes if you guys were thinking of getting me that or were you just looking to give a suggestion?

I would like to clarify I wasn't involved in any part of the shoulder bag process. So much so, that this is the first I've heard about it.

Excuse me sir, but due to the new UK age verification laws I'm afraid I'm gonna need to see some ID to verify you're actually old enough to be here.

In seriousness, I don't know a whole lot about it and never saw a thing about it before it went live, so I'm curious if you've had to deal with it at any point at all or not.

[Mr EliteL]

Luckily not had to deal with anything so far with the stupid restriction rubbish going on. Well, OK there was one instance, I swear either YouTube or a different site I frequent don't know which, attempted it once, but it seemed to not matter when I just backed out and returned later. I don't remember what the page said now either I was just "really, here?" and couldn't be bothered to read anything in detail. I don't visit too many sites anyway.

I know YouTube implemented an age check system, but it only activates if it believes you're under 18. Funnily enough, I heard that using any ID works, even if it's a fake one you just took from Google Images. That alone tells me just how performative the whole thing really is. Although, even if it did work properly, the solution (other than giving ID) would be to do what people in Florida and other states do in regards to ID requirements for adult websites; just use a VPN or better yet, go back to the old days of when we were in school and just use a proxy.
