April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

Former StaffFor context, I'm having surgery tomorrow to fix up a hernia I've had for a while now that makes one of my balls bigger than the other. :P Things should be evened out again tomorrow morning!

MemberWelp, that explains why one of my balls is bigger then the other. Getting a hernia surgery sucks though, especially when you find out where they stick the needle at....
When your six.

MemberTL;DR, but just thought I'd share.
I had to have a hernia surgery when I was 4, I was standing up my rocking horse (the kind suspended on springs on a metal tube frame) and I slipped and one of the springs went right between my legs. I was too little to remember much but my mom told me stories.
I've also had to have two urethrotomy surgeries after I got older (I gots the Hank Hill syndrome, narry urethra) but each time they just gave me these ridiculous plastic spikes and said I had to shove them down the hole once every 3 weeks or it'd grow back, these things were stupid thick and of course I didn't use them.
I also got taken in for an epididymitis, they didn't do the urethrotomy that time, though I wish they had (got some Hegar sounds now, so this time I'd be ready) instead they just gave me some kind of anti-biotic pills and said I'd be fine... still got the epididymitis, though. Hurts to touch it.

MemberMEANWHILE.
Many years ago, back in 2008, I had what we call a Testicular Torsion. Now THAT. That's pain when you're conscious for it.
