Needing to put food on your table is a good motivator.

For me, one 2001 game is lodged forever in my mind, Hostile Waters
It's a great game, although sadly won't run on modern systems. And not strictly voice acting, more narration, but I've just re-watched the intro and Tom Baker's narration still gives me shivers.
Almost a quarter of a century since I first played it, the phrase "These are hostile waters" in Tom's voice still pops into my head from time to time.
Beat me to it. This unskippable sequence has stopped me replaying Skyrim at least twice.
Frankly, it's a bloody weird thing to do unless medically required. Leave him be.
It's funny though, don't you think? None of the other European countries have been blocked, and they have the exactly same GDPR and child protection law that the ICO claims it is pursuing.
I personally think that Imgur banned the UK for simple business reasons. We don't generate enough income for them to bother adhering to GDPR plus the OSA. As Europe presses ahead with similar censorship legislation I imagine it will ban them too, or any of those that do pursue it for GDPR breaches.
This is fragmenting the internet is of course is bad for everyone.
But... Hasn't imgur been SFW only for a while now?
Maybe they got sent one of offcom's shitty letters and are kneejerking to prove a point. Bit poor there's been no statement from them before doing this.
You should contact a local history group or museum. That could be a significant find - it' clearly old, possibly thousands of years.
