If by some hellish miracle I found myself travelling to the US, all of a sudden I wouldn't have a social media history
Unless they mean the NZ government's definition of "social media platform", in which case they're welcome to an export of all my Jira activity

Unicode recieved a proposal for a uterus emoji on 29 July 2024, but it was declined (they don't publish deliberation details so not sure why exactly that was)

It's been a big day today. Three hours of hair removal, almost as much time spent driving. Exhausting stuff, I'm glad to be home with my boys

I mean, with how badly the law is drafted I don't expect anyone planning to vote for it wants a chance for anyone else (even their fellow MPs) to have their say on it first

Will Microsoft, Nintendo, or Sony just decide it's not worth the hassle to operate here, given we're such a small market on the global scale?

Possibly. I really hope this definition gets completely reworked through parliamentary debate so it won't like... ban young teens from having internet banking

Terribly drafted legislation is par for the course with NZ's current goverment, but with any reasonable definition of "social interactions" this definition seems it would classify GitHub, all non-local multiplayer gaming, and even email as "social media platforms"

About a month ago I came out to some of my oldest friends, and they took me out shopping to build up a more versatile summer wardrobe. I wouldn't have picked this top for myself, but it turns out I really like it
