    however, important to note who these individuals are.

    wouldn’t you feel safer knowing which one of your neighbors was researching how to get away with murder instead of knowing someone in the neighborhood is researching how to get away with murder.

    it’d be the same kind of list you go on when you buy iron oxide, aluminum oxide, and magnesium. you haven’t committed a crime directly, but should a crime be committed that involves thermite you’re going to quickly become a POI.

      There are literally tv shows about how to get away with murder. Very popular ones. Those viewers don’t murder at a higher rate than others.

        no, I’m saying if you buy ingredients to make a bomb you already go on a list.

        if you’re pretending to groom and rape children online you should also go on a list.

        anyone who wants to protect the right to pretend to diddle kids is a closeted pedophile IMO. it’s pretty black and white in my eyes, you either are a child predator or you aren’t.

      As a fiction writer, I do research on espionage, sabotage and even methods of assassination all the time. But I’m not going to make a salted bomb and nuke Jerusalem even though that is an entirely viable evil plot that may even create a net negative death toll.

      True poisoners, as Agatha Christie notes, use thallium, not arsenic nor cyanide (though ricin is good if you can get it.) Thallium assassins are also self-regulating, like demolitions experts, killing off those insufficiently careful when handling the stuff.

      Modern police are lazy until enough of a stink is made to find a culprit for a specific incident, which is why modern assassins targeting VIPs will find a self-radicalized desperado and point them toward the target. This is the sort of thing FBI is looking for in the investigations of Crooks and Routh. They are likely just blue suicides (or green suicides in this case) but finding a operative pointing them towards Trump would indicate an actual plot. But even if those tracks are found, it would unlikely lead to a specific identity.

      I know about this not just to write fiction, but also to understand how things happen, how our fall into one party autocracy and societal collapse plays out. And yes, it means I do a lot of web searches that might excite an onlooking behavioral research agent. Sadly, they’d find I’m yet another boring false positive, though if the nation des succumb to autocracy, I’d certainly write for the resistance. FBI may not care so much about that.

      We often look up creepy things just so see if we can, and we do that a lot more than because we’re eager to build a bomb or fast-track our inheritance.

        Wait, how would a nuke with extra radiation fallout create a net negative death toll?

          Because religious fanatics have been fighting over controlling access to the holy sites for centuries now, and show no sign of slowing down.

          Making the place an exclusion zone would devalue those sites, except for the most determined.

        and that’s fine. have you ever collaborated with an assassin to pretend to kill another real person?

        anyone who pretends to groom or rape children is scum. they should go on a list at the FBI and should be the first person that’s investigated when a child has gone missing or claimed to be molested.

        I know it’s your job, but every job has risks. firefighters get burned. cops get shot. writers go on dark lists in FBI databases because they pretended to groom a child on a LLM.

      See, imo this is the exact kind of thinking that makes pedophilia dangerous. Most people would agree that being attracted to children is a mental illness. Most people would agree that mental illnesses should be treated by a knowledgeable professional. But pedophilia is so stigmatized that someone even admitting they have a problem, one I very much doubt most of them want to have, has people calling for them to be drawn and quartered, regardless of if they’ve ever actually hurt anyone.

      Do I like that there’s art and writing of people having fantasies about children? No, of course not. But making it impossible for people to have a safe outlet, to even talk about it with a medical professional for fear of imprisonment, death threats, or worse, makes it so these people can’t even get the help they need. It’s like teaching abstinence only sex ed. You’re trying to get people to stop having fantasies by burying them, but it only exacerbates the issue.

        I personally think that pedophilia is genetic, or a chemical brain imbalance or something. There has to be something that would cause someone to do something they know that it they get caught, their life is over.

        It’s like Louie CK’s joke from his SNL appearance. To paraphrase “I love Mounds bars, but if you told me I would be thrown in jail and raped or killed, I wouldn’t eat one ever again”

            You don’t choose to be straight, you don’t choose to be gay

            I was going to add that to my argument, but i felt that it would get twisted into someone saying that gay people are pedophiles. I didn’t feel like arguing that point.

      Like it or not, pedophilia actually sometimes just occurs naturally in humans. To blanket reject all pedophiles even the ones that never offended probably worsens things rather than improving them (which I guess is your goal).

      My main issue with such models is that CV ones could be trained on real pictures of real minors who are actually trafficked and their images and faces should never end up in the hands of people jerking off given the trauma they likely suffer from.

      I missed the original comment and this discussion now makes no sense. Why would you edit the content of your comment when you don’t care about the points or the outrage?

        Why tf would ANYONE want to wait until a child is raped just to do anything. What the actual fuck.

        Use a tipline or do what other reputable pedo catchers do. Probe/tempt/lure them.

        That’s like waiting until a kid, who is showing all the signs of being a school shooter, to shoot up a school and only then will people attempt to stop them.
