I’m having a hard time deciding if this is the original folk mix … or the upbeat calypso version

I can hear the theme song … nice job!

Is that Mick Fleetwood in the last panel?

This is the same shit that happened with big tobacco and it sent lung cancer rates soaring in the 80s and 90s.

The same thing is going to happen this time around … except the lung cancer won’t affect humans … the planet is going to be the one to deal with global lung cancer … and in case you didn’t understand the analogy - WE are the cancer cells … we grow exponentially without regard to our host and continue growing, consuming and generating toxins, even though we know its killing our host.

One of us will either have to die or change … I’m not worried about the earth because she’s been through far worse than us before and survived, so she won’t die and she won’t change because she doesn’t have to, all she has to do is wait … which leaves us -> if we don’t change, then we will die.

If you want to keep narrowing it down. You should go to the next step … a brand new clean OS on a dedicated laptop. Install a new Linux OS, new browser, new profile, do absolutely nothing with any of it, set up a VPN, try the site again.

If that fails, then chances are the ID is being done some other way … do you have control of your router? Are you accessing the internet through someone’s connection? maybe your ISP and your general area, regardless of who is using VPN.

The other possibility is … Are you tethering on a phone? I notice that phone devices seem to play loose with VPN and due to geolocation built into the device tagged to wifi locating services, phones leak location all the time.

The other thing that’s been creeping into everyone’s system is … browser fingerprinting

This means that if you accessed something somewhere sometime and you got flagged or located, your browser stores key identifying data, history, cookies, etc to basically fingerprint your browser to any and all systems out there in the future. If your browser goes somewhere again, it won’t matter if you have a VPN, the online systems remember your browser and will identify you, your location and your history because they’ve already logged all that data.

If you keep using that same browser with the same profile over and over again, and with all your other accounts, history and user info, it’s like driving in the same car day in / day out. Eventually everyone remembers you because you keep driving the same car. It won’t matter what kind of VPN, cloaking or obfuscation you use … all everyone will do is look for the same car you drove last time.

Try setting up a new profile on Firefox/LibreWolf or other browser on a clean unused profile and try again to see what happens.

The other important question is … what OS are you using? … Windows is notorious for leaking location and bypassing VPNs (especially IP, DNS and location) … don’t know much about MAC but I also wouldn’t trust them … Linux is more secure depending on which distro you use and how you use it

Might help all of us understand this if you told us what your general location is? Which country? Which state? Which region?

Obviously don’t dox yourself … but giving a general location will tell us which regions are actively enforcing all this.

Also … are you using a VPN … because if you are then …

• your VPN is accessing the network at a region that does age verification
• your VPN is being bypassed or not working properly or your system is leaking your IP and location
• the network, website or system doesn’t allow users through VPN

burns his hand on the hot mug … CALAIS!!! SACRE BLEU!!!

lol … imagine the insults to federation captains …

Statlursa: … HEY! … HEY YOU IN THAT SHIP THERE!!! … WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO START FIGHTING!!!

Captain Picard: … WHAT! … You attacked us first and we’ve exhausted all our torpedoes and cannons and our shields are down and our warp core is about to explode … fight!? … we’ve been doing that for the past hour!!!

B’Edorf: … OHHHH!!! … IS THAT WHAT YOU’VE BEEN DOING?!

Hours and hours of spare time working as an engineer and endless access to a ship’s computer, so much data storage, devices, holo programs, simulators and digital systems … inevitably he’s going to end up doing some freaky stuff.

Every episode just immediately jumps into whatever world that O’Brien created in the simulations where he keeps every buffer clone trapped forever … sometimes it’s on DS9, sometimes on the Enterprise, sometimes on a Borg ship, sometimes in 19th century Louisiana, sometimes 23th century California, sometimes ancient Rome, sometimes on Kronos, sometimes on an ice moon, sometimes just free floating in empty space

I always love these guys … if what you are doing is morally acceptable and you truly believe in everything you are doing and think that it is patriotic, honourable and just … then you should never have the need to mask your identity, drive around in unmarked cars or go wandering around making arrests without a warrant or documentation.

Good to see Americans standing up to this stupidity … any respect I have for America is embodied in what these neighbourhood people did … they are more American than any political office holder in the US.

Uncle Owen!!! This one has a bad motivator!!
