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.

MemberMarik 'done found a loophole. He found a loophole right there
MarikAzemus
MemberIn what regard?
ggdk
MemberIf I'd had to guess, I'd say he's referring to "underage drinking" ... I'm also guessing that he's attempting to make a joke by using the 'done infinitive-verb' construct.
Also thinking the OP thinks the Max's name is Marik?
But only the OP would know.
MarikAzemus
MemberWell, my name is Marik. And I'm still not sure what Metal means about me finding a 'loophole' around anything. The legal drinking age in the USA is 21, and assuming Max went to college at age 18, he'd likely be only 19 or 20 in this comic, so I wrote this dialogue accordingly.
MetalAsmodeus
MemberA loophole to leave it up to the imagination whether or not max was like 16 or something. Although I was indeed wrong
Delphox26
MemberThat's not what a loophole is. A loophole is a technicality or unclear section of a law that someone can exploit. Max isn't exploiting a loophole, he's just not following the law.
MetalAsmodeus
MemberNot if it's a loophole for making adolescent on adult in some countries irl. Which is not the case here it seems cause he's 18. I done goofed
