This reminds me of a chubby emu video I watched

Shove this Russian propaganda right back where it came from

Terminal victim status you, I have no such sock puppets you’re paranoid as shit

Could you be more of a victim out in the open harder than you’re doing right now, sack up my dude quit acting like a bitch online

This was my first and only idea for AR goggles and I think somebody has already made that mock up if you search online that will actually do that

I’m sorry I’m I have a simple view of things, it’s like the matrix, the perfect world was rejected outright almost immediately. Fuck yeah I would love to live in a world without pain I just don’t think it’s feasible for the human condition or healthy for innovation or art or so many other things

I know and I’m a huge fan of Mike Myers but once I watch it I can’t un Watch it so it’s like I’m saving it for a bad day when I need to be cheered up. But you’re right tomorrow is not promised, I should make hay while the sun is out

I bought it on sale on Apple TV and I’m watching it right now geez

Yes but pain and suffering can inspire people to do great things

Is that Mike Myers? I still haven’t seen so I married an ax murderer even though I own it

Yes it is. lol

Colonel Sanders

Hey glowie. No

Bro, stop trying to other people

Historical myth: The rumor started in the 1990s–2000s on drug forums (and later persisted on places like Reddit) because people noticed the close structural relationship and assumed “just swap the side chain.” In reality, pharmaceutical companies start from opium-derived precursors (thebaine → oxycodone → etc.) or full total synthesis — they never use naloxone as a starting material to make oxymorphone.

It’s 5 dollars to buy on Apple TV right now

Very cool Vlad, why are you acting like such a Russian troll. Or are you an old sundowning boomer

I agree 100%, also it reminded me of This Clanker

I appreciate you for taking the time to explain this to me, mostly sounds like a term people used to other other people

I figured you were wrong so I asked an AI and it confirmed what the people below you were saying, you really do seem to be talking straight out of your ass

Yes, it is technically possible to build an accurate, high-confidence age-verification system that does not compromise privacy in the traditional sense (i.e., no central database of IDs, no name/address/DOB stored by the site, no paper trail that can be subpoenaed or leaked). The core tool that makes this feasible is zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), specifically age-based ZK proofs.

How a privacy-preserving age check actually works in 2025

1. User proves age to a trusted credential issuer once
2. • Government digital ID (e.g., EU eIDAS wallet, some U.S. mobile driver’s licenses, Yoti, ID.me, etc.)
   • The issuer cryptographically signs a statement like “This private key belongs to someone born before 2007-11-27” without ever revealing the exact birthdate. User generates a zero-knowledge proof
3. • Using their phone or browser, they create a proof that says:
     “I have a valid credential signed by [Trusted Issuer] that confirms I am 18+ (or 21+).”
   • Nothing else is revealed: no name, no exact age, no birthdate, no issuer identity if you want to go fully anonymous. Website verifies the proof in <1 second
   • The site checks the cryptographic signature and that the policy (“18+”) is satisfied.
   • It learns literally nothing else about the person.

Real-world implementations that already exist or are in late-stage pilots (November 2025):

• Worldcoin’s World ID “age 18+” orb-verified credential + ZK proof
• Polygon ID / zkBridge systems used by some adult sites
• SpruceID + Ethereum Attestation Service kits
• Gitcoin Passport + ZK age attestations
• Proof-of-Humanity + age minimum circuits
• Yoti + ZK prototype (demoed 2024–2025)

Remaining practical hurdles (why it’s not universal yet)

• User has to have a compatible digital credential in the first place (adoption still <30% in most countries)
• Friction: first-time setup takes 2–10 minutes instead of 3 seconds
• Most adult sites don’t want to pay the (tiny) gas/verification fee or integrate the SDKs
• Regulatory gray zone in some jurisdictions that still mandate “know your customer” records

Bottom line
Technically: Yes, 100% possible today with zero-knowledge age proofs.
Practically: It exists, works, and is slowly rolling out, but the porn industry and most social platforms still prefer cheap/frictionless (but privacy-invasive) methods or just do nothing.

So the top reply in your screenshot (“you always need a middle man with too much information”) is outdated — cryptography has already solved the “middle man” problem. The real blocker now is deployment inertia, not theory.

Why is that supposed to be an insult, I know nothing of tankie But was called one a couple days ago

Bootlicker conservatives are we??
