I am not worried about the war, the only affect it has on me is that gas prices have gone up.

I am worried about the fact that Hegseth has managed to replace the entire command structure with cristofacists that believe they are going to initiate armageddon.

I am worried about what those commanders will do when it comes time for this administration to step down.

I am also very worried about how many people I know who cannot find work and are unable to pay their mounting debts. I’ve been helping a friend pay for her cell phone bill while she tries to get a new job. I have multiple friends who cannot even get minimum wage jobs because they are “over qualified”.

I am worried about how much damage and harm the AI industry is doing to our entire fucking society.

The war in Iran is nothing compared to all of this.

I’ll give you that for Shenzi (Whoopi Goldberg), but that’s a big stretch for Banzai (Cheech Marin) and Ed (Jim Cummings). I don’t think Marin can play anything other than a mexican stereotype, and Ed was just a moron.

Oh the laws are completely unenforceable, they’re basically just a blank check to go after any website the ruling class dislikes.

The article names multiple sites that have already shut down due to the UKs law

IANAL, but I imagine under the laws, they would go after individual instance owners to mandate verification. The laws have no provision for third party software, so it would fall to the courts, but most instances don’t have the funds to fight it.
