I've discovered the secret of Madrid

Gay dog comic.

On the discord server I hang out on there was a bit of an art challenge to draw the goose using the template on the left. My entry is the one on the right. Nailed it.

Boiling it down, every single request stemming from "age assurance" / "age verification" / "identity verification" is part of the slow but persistent fight against general purpose computing (itself but one front in the never ending struggle for human freedom)

"Your use case is, there's a fourteen year old in an emergency room at 3 AM. English is their second or maybe fourth language. They have a battered school Chromebook or a hand-me-down Android device that was the cheapest thing on the market six years ago or a PS Vita their parents don't even realize has a web browser, and they're trying to educate themselves in the middle of the single most terrifying night they've ever experienced. Your site needs to work for that person at that moment."
