the scene with Strickland going pee in The Shape of Water was so insanely uncomfy and also it felt like it was really A Guy that the screenwriter had met irl

Strickland from The Shape of Water mansplaining not washing his hands after going pee it's so uncomfy

bluesky is so confusing, sometimes

Jerry poasting "we're so back" and quote-skeeting a deleted skeet, and dly replying "you'll never recover from this" and it's all so confusing because again and it must be emphasized: the original skeet was deleted.

I hearted both Jerry and dly's skeets because I believe in being a supportive follower, even when it's all far beyond me

account creation (anonymous Meta SMP usage would seem to require U13 rules). Given the explicit requirements in the consent decree, it does not appear that deanonymization at Meta's level is required. The decree in fact appears to prohibit Meta's use of age verification as a deanon for accounts

Data minimization and security.
(a) Except as set forth herein, all data collected by Meta from users of Meta
SMPs in the Settling States for the sole purpose of conducting age
assurance, all data maintained from known U13s, and all data collected by
a vendor for use in a Commercially Available Age Assurance Method shall
be held for the minimum period required to determine a user’s age status
and thereafter immediately enqueued for deletion, after which it shall be
deleted in a reasonable period of time. Meta may retain (1) U13 data only
to the extent required for purposes of developing, training, testing, and
measuring the performance of the U13 Age Model (“U13 Data”),
provided that any U13 data that constitutes Personally Identifiable
Information as defined by 16 C.F.R. Part 312.2 will be protected using
Meta’s highest data privacy and security standards, and (2) metadata about
the age assurance method used by the user information (“Retainable
Data”) only where required to ensure the ongoing integrity of age
assurance systems, including but not limited to the ability to identify
circumvention and related patterns over time, and only for as long as it is
required for those purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, U13 Data cannot
be used for purposes such as ads targeting and delivery, marketing, or
algorithmic optimization efforts. Any U13 Data and Retainable Data shall
be maintained at the coarsest viable granularity and cannot be used for any
other purpose unless legally required. Any Retainable Data that is no
longer required for the purposes set forth herein shall be deleted within 90
days. The terms above shall not pertain to the user’s stated date of birth,
stated age, nor the outcome of the Age Assurance Method (e.g., “teen or
adult” classification).

Reading section II of the consent decree, a Meta SMP user can claim to be under 18 and never require verification, so in fact deanonymization and verification of every website visitor does not seem to be required. Likewise users claiming to be over 18 without ID-based verification have a usage path

10. Default protections.
(a) For fourteen (14) days upon creating a Meta SMP account, Meta SMP
users who have not yet had their age assessed by an Age Assurance
Method pursuant to the Age Assurance Framework shall receive the
following protections:
(i) Meta SMP users with a stated U18 age shall be treated as Teen
Users for the purposes of this Agreement.
(ii) Meta SMP users with a stated age of 18 years old or older shall
receive the following protections:
(A) Interventions that are intended to restrict potential adult bad
actors (as identified by integrity signals) from having
contact with stated and predicted teens; and
(B) Interventions that are designed to provide content
recommendations inspired by Age Appropriate Experiences.
(b) Fourteen (14) days or more after creating a Meta SMP account, Meta SMP
users who have not yet had their age assessed by an Age Assurance
Method pursuant to the Age Assurance Framework shall be treated as Teen
Users for the purposes of this Agreement regardless of their stated age,
except that Meta SMP users with a stated age of 18 years old or older shall
receive the protections described in Section II.A.10.a.ii.

“In the USA”? That’s worldwide. Anyway, you’re going to shit when you realize what the USDA is

Not necessarily. The only way to determine if a commercial sugar is bone char-free is to read the label. If it says it is "USDA Certified Organic," bone char is not used during production.

Yeah I'm being shitty to the dead, but I can't square "was flying with the airport 31 miles at the airplane's 7 o'clock" and "saw the airport". Out of a King Air? A literal minute after GPS jamming stopped?
