An act that basically bans gooning for british citizens unless they verify their age by either using ID, some shitty AI face detection algorithm, and credit card information for some reason.
Unlucky
Online Safety Act is literally just free promo for YouTubers with a nordvpn or expressvpn sponsor. Rent paid for the next 3 months
Some stupid ass act put together by the British Parliament that requires their citizens to submit an ID in order to access basically anything on the internet now. It all started with some 18+ websites requiring ID verification because too many parentsdon't want to monitor what their kids do online, or teach their proper internet safety, and now, it's gotten to the point that their government requires them to submit a driving license in order to access Wikipedia and Spotify. There's all kinds of gaslighting going on from officials due to the controversy of this act, such as stating that those against it are "on the sides of child groomers." Don't believe any of the crap these out of touch assholes have to say.
The Online Safety Act was never about protecting kids. It's about keeping track of who's doing what online, and using that information to suppress dissent. If the Parliament really cared about protecting kids, they'd teach online safety in public schools, arrest people on the Epstein list, or deport or imprison migrants accused to sex crimes against kids.
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
