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.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberThen maybe you can help me understand it, because as someone that uses both Ratchets and Rivets in building things quite often, the two have absolutely nothing to do with each other in a real world setting. Ratchets are for hex-head threaded fasteners like nuts and bolts, rivets are a smooth shanked fasteners that rely on an expanding cap to secure in place. You'd be more likely to drive in a rivet with a hammer and awl, unless you are abusing your tools and using a ratchet as the hammer I guess...

BlockedI suppose it's just a euphemism, kind of like how a screw with a nut in the middle of it is a euphemism for intercourse. Insomniac likes putting euphemisms in the titles of these games, so that's probably what it is.

MemberYeah that’s more of what I was referring to, since a rivet is a type of screw, kinda. I wasn’t trying to be more literal with it, but even then I realize now that my initial comment was pretty dumb on my part. Obviously you can tell that I’m not an expert when it comes to tools, lol.
My mistake, sorry.

MemberI just took it that a ratchet (like a ratchet wrench) is long and stuff, but a river is a small nub after it's been installed. A dick and a clitoris.
