reddit has finally popped a verify your age box - because a starfield thread has the word "cockpit" in the title. it's like someone resurrected the stupidest content filters from the 90s

Similar to the UK version "being dick fingered" (everything he touches, he f--ks)

I'm not sure gambling adds a lot to the UK economy, definitely leeches money from less well off to offshore corporations with murky ownership
