News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.

Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.

Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

    Holy shit, you're right that is him!!! I'm a huge Axel Rudi Pell and Hardline fan, can't believe I didn't pick that up!

    Right there with you, m8. I've done basically NOTHING with my life. I STILL don't own my own house, and my younger relatives are poking fun at me for not being married.

    You don't really have to succeed to not be a failure. My mother got divorced three times and my father wasn't around to be a father, so that hurt. Since I don't have kids I know I'm not putting someone else through that same pain of fatherlessness. So I kind of feel like I'm successfully breaking tradition by not having a kid at 21 and not having to pay alimony.

    Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing!

    Great thing there's a paper tag for those with a fetish to it, especially if it's a thicc sheet!

    :V

    I can see the irony in that comment, you must rethink all the actions that lead you to doubt paper.

    Just imagine an A4 sheet, 1/4th of a millimetre thick paper, the kind with a rough texture, specifically made to grind the color out of any colouring tool you use.

    Well, Sonic has been bumming around doing nothing. Tails looks like he has been working himself to the bone in a very stressful job. So Tails is going to look far older, having been working way too hard while Sonic has been taking it way too easy.
