April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberWhen you run an ultra-expensive giant mansion but don't have the budget for a blackboard, you can always wear the tail of a dragon princess.

MemberIn case of emergency Reni's ass can act as an impromptu blackboard. And a very sexy one at that!

MemberNah, I think she'd just blush a silently lay down, not wanting to disturb them. Reni's very shy after all...

MemberMagic is a double edged sword. Its an amazing force that can make life so much better when used properly, but at the same time with it capable of solving many problems by itself, the civilization using it stagnates. There's no need for it to advance technologically.

Memberlike religion!
though seriously, when a society with magical capabilities gets to the point actually technologically advancing, they'll be have a giant hand up on us in developing, it'd be technomagic, and thusly technomancy would develop. they don't necessarily need technological advancement either, the workings of a society are to make the livings of the individual easier over time.

MemberDid the magic tables exist at the beginning of the universe? Sorry bruh any sufficiently advanced magic would be indistinguishable from technology. If you could get wizards working in factories to produce magic artifacts in bulk you could have a society like ours. Especially if a good education is widely available. On the other hand if advanced magic were only available to nobility they would be likely to stagnate or protect the status quo. So the limiting factor would be the societies structure and the freedom to innovate, not it's tech base.
