Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.
Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.
Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

MemberH. Caldwell Tanner seems to be unaware that Mario was, in fact, a carpenter, originally.

MemberLook it up. He was a carpenter, originally. That profession was chosen because it worked with the construction site setting of the original Donkey Kong
mikaroni89
Memberalso in those glory days he was known as jumpman
equimanthorn
MemberAnd Donkey Kong was his pet ape, who took Pauline because Mario or Jumpman mistreated him

MemberBut then Mario met Peach and left for the Mushroom Kingdom, leaving Donkey Kong to become nothing more than muscle under the Shadow Don Ganondorf while Pauline became a bartender for King Dedede. Wait, wrong story.
equimanthorn
MemberActually, Donkey Kong had a kid, and Mario kidnapped Donkey Kong from the kid. The kid had to save him from Mario. That's the only time that Mario has ever been the bad guy

He was referring to There Will Be Brawl. To be fair it's a pretty obscure reference.
