Sex trafficking on Meta platforms was both difficult to report and widely tolerated.
Instagram’s former head of safety testified that when she joined Meta in 2020 she was shocked to learn the company had
a “17x” strike policy
for accounts that engaged in the “trafficking of humans for sex.”

The mechanics sorted out filling the adblue tank.
The warnings have stopped beeping and the 10 l bottle that was in the back is gone, so presumably I can trust it's in the tank now.
Sounds like much of what I have paid for was for them doing what I did: Looking all around the car for an ad-blue tank hole and taking things apart trying to find it.
But none of that is the correct solution, which is to put it up on the ramp and clamber underneath to find the tank which has some sort of lowering mechanism, to then lower it and fill it and raise it again.
Not a job for me then. Next time it'll maybe be cheaper coz of them knowing what to do now and not spending half a day trying to figure it out.
Apparently there is a second emissions reduction mechanism which doesn't take a wattery bottle of urea, but instead needs a pouch of oily tar stuff.
This is more likely to empty and need replacing next, rather than the piss bottle.
And even for normal cars that haven't been screwed up for wheelchair access this is a mechanics job anyway. And the garage will have to order in the tar pouch especially.
Back in the 90s, my first car cost about 200 quid. Today I paid 200 quid to get someone to fill it up with purified piss for emissions reduction. Oh how things change. 😆

Wenn du so in die World-Timeline blickst und denkst "Es wird nichts gepostet seit Stunden. Hab ich die Entrückung verpasst?", dann auf die lokale Instanz chaos.social gehst und merkst "Nur noch nette Leute hier. War wohl wirklich Entrückung."

The Free Birth Society (FBS) is a business run from North Carolina that promotes the idea of women giving birth without midwives or doctors present.
It is led by Emilee Saldaya and Yolande Norris-Clark,
ex-doulas turned social media influencers who have gained a global following through the FBS podcast, which has been downloaded millions of times.
FBS profits from sales of its instructional video guide to freebirthing, and access to a paid-for membership group for pregnant …
