And sites are still more than happy to show those in the popup, just to muddy the waters and make it more complicated than it needs to be.
As far as I see it, displaying information regarding strictly necessary cookies that do not require consent is good practice.
The website linked above states that “While it is not required to obtain consent for these cookies, what they do and why they are necessary should be explained to the user.”
I think the complicated part is mostly the deliberately bad UI that is often used for cookie banners. They purposefully use a bad layout and color scheme in an attempt to push the user to just click “Accept all”. As far as I understand if a websites only had strictly necessary cookies then I think they wouldn’t even need a cookie popup in the first place though and could simply list this information on a separate “Privacy Policy” page or such.
Probably worth noting: Only things like non essential third party cookies need consent. Essential cookies for things like the users active session that are not shared don’t need a cookie banner.

But you can easily test this yourself: Go and try to create a new Discord account without a phone number. Then try to use it.
I did and I could use it.
Maybe it’s regional? Or they have different behavior based on your email address provider?
Yeah or maybe it’s based on a cookie or IP ranges or other forms of tracking.
Yeah so just to clarify I totally believe you when you say that an account can technically get flagged. However, I don’t believe that “New ones don’t work without [a phone number]” and I also don’t believe that every account will be flagged eventually like the other commenter mentioned.
Remember, the initial comment I questioned was saying that “If you want to use Discord nowadays you need a valid phone number”.
you just have to manage to not let your account flagged
That seems to be very easy. I’ve been using it for over half a decade, am a member on dozens of very different servers, interacted with hundreds of people, wrote tens of thousands of messages - I actually checked all those numbers - and participated in discussions about all kinds of topics. My assumption is that the threshold for this sort of flag is set really high. Either that or it’s different based on where you live, maybe based on laws or politics or such.
New accounts work perfectly fine without a phone number as well. Only certain servers require one. It’s an option in servers settings. It could also be a regional thing.
It’s interesting how the truth gets downvoted while misleading information gets upvoted. Apparently people like randomly clicking buttons without verifying anything. That seems like it could be really harmful. Since votes are public information, maybe there’s a way to play around with that.
If you want to use Discord nowadays you need a valid phone number, that’s it.
No you don’t. I can use it just fine without a phone number added.
I do sort of feel like it’s lost something as the graphics have improved and animations were introduced
Have you tried Unciv? https://yairm210.itch.io/unciv It’s a free and open source remake of Civ 5 and already supports many of its features. I really enjoy playing it as it’s much less hardware intensive which makes for near instant loading times and keeps the computer nice and cool on hot summer days.
I recommend https://openrct2.io/ - it’s a fan made open source reimplementation that adds many changes, among them multiplayer, mods, UI improvements, bugfixes and so on. For installation you’ll need a copy of the original RCT2 game. It also supports RCT1 scenarios and graphics.
Sounds interesting!
I recommend https://davidnhill.github.io/JSMinesweeper/ - it has a no guessing mode, a fast mode to skip obvious choices, can show hints if you need any, is free and works in your browser.
I also recommend https://zblip.itch.io/mine-of-sight - it’s more complex than Minesweeper and has different types of Minesweeper-esque clues combined into a single game. It’s also free and runs in your browser.
How do you know that? What makes you say that? Does it even matter why they’re put into movies?
As far as I understand it the image posted does not claim that these bodies are put into movies for women. Personally I would argue that unrealistic bodies are put there for both genders, but perhaps more so for the opposite sex. However, looking at the posted image neutrally and without reading anything into it that’s not there, to the main idea behind the image is to point out the fact that not not only women but also men are depicted unrealistically more often than not. Or at the very least statistically above average.
