With a #DS lite, a physical calculator, a digital alarm #clock and a #watch, I don't get nearly as many #ageverification pop ups. Eventually I will try to eventually get a physical step counter and a digital camera when I get the time and actually find one.
However, #socialmedia seems to get this often even though in the u.s some social media age verification #state #laws had been striken down by various judges.

By Madeleine Stuchbery

>Iran is empowered and, because a school was hit, has an argument that it is entitled to reparations.
I agree, but more likely general reparations will take the form of "tolls" for passage of the Straight of Hormuz, yes?
>The political situation is lose-lose as well.
>If Congress steps in, the war can be framed as "thwarted success." Trump. blames Congress for not letting him finish and “win.”
>If Congress ties Trump’s hands, it owns the resulting mess.
>If Congress refuses to step in, the war continues and the power of the Executive Branch continues to expand at the expense of the Legislative Branch.
Not sure I'd call this "lose-lose". The first two items are matters of "perception" only. This would be a major "stand up to #Trump moment", at least for #Dems. The perception of Dems as a party is already way down. It could help IMO.
Second, a more obvious issue is hinted in your third point. We have a #Constitution & #Laws for a reason. While there is some ambiguity, there is actually a Right Way to do things in the US most of the time. Shutting down an illegal #war is the right thing to do. It will save both $$ and lives in the long run. If this is perceived as "losing" then so be it!
We're living in the age of exhaustion. Who pays the price of burnout?
By Brigid Delaney
Burnout is everywhere — in resignation letters, therapy sessions and late-night emails. Yet the debate over what it is reveals a bigger question: Should workplaces bear responsibility for the damage modern work can cause?

🗨️ Furthermore: there is a moral imperative that should urge us all to view #laws protecting #humanity not merely as a political option, but as a duty of our #species - Enacting #policy and uploading #reports are mere alibis; they accomplish nothing! Occupy the public sphere of #justice and demand morality; and the protection of ALL - not just of those who happen to suit a particular #economic agenda!
