I was 18 in the year 2000.

I’d just started university and spent every waking moment going out clubbing with my mates and making questionable decisions with women.

Had an amazing time. And thank fuck there is zero evidence of anything I ever did. No photos (except a few prints), no videos, no social media.

I feel sorry for kids nowadays. You can’t get away with anything.

Your boss should be talking to their boss

Thank you

Carry out a “dynamic risk assessment”.

For me i relied on shock, awe and the fact I was twice this lad’s size.

But yes, metal stick/CS gas were options as well.

No worries.

Just keep badgering them. If you get nowhere then you go to the chief inspector and so on.

Contacting the local area commander/neighbourhood inspector would usually be your first port of call

Lol its a gamer handle I’ve been using for about 25 years so just a coincidence. I am actually very mild mannered. You catch more bees with honey and all that

Infosec and compliamce/governance now. Left the police over 10 years ago

Yeah fair point

If killing two people isn’t something you think should get someone sent to prison then I’m concerned about you

I’m beginning to really not care about my brother and I feel like an absolute piece of shit for feeling this way.

He’s fallen down a rabbit hole of conspiracy psuedo-science and has been treating our mum like shit these last few months. Gas lighting her, not letting her see his kids, shit like that.

The only time showing up in person works in the UK is if you’re a teenager looking for part time or apprenticeship work in independent shops/hospitality/mechanics etc.

I’m ex-police (did 13 years - UK).

In 13 years of active patrol, (if you’re not counting stopping someone suspicious, searching them and finding some drugs/weapon) I probably stumbled on a crime in progress maybe two or three times. Only one of those was what you’d call serious and that was a kid threatening another kid with a knife as i happened to walk round the corner.

And a couple of shop lifters whilst I was in the security office having a cup of tea with the shop manager.

The hardest part about being a vigilante is actually finding the crime in the first place.

The second hardest part would be actually detaining them without any real authority. The knife lad dropped the knife immediately when I shouted at him. As a masked vigilante you wouldn’t have that authority. You don’t have any backup or anyone to call. And you dont have anywhere to take your captured criminal once you’ve detained them.

So are you saying the UK government doesn’t have the power to block 4chan in the UK?

Interesting.

Absolutely fucking pathetic.

Hopefully I’ll be dead by then

I’m hoping social media (the shitty algorithmic kind like facebook) vanishes.

Its a fucking cancer on society

UK - we preferred Gousto

I’d never leave public sector/government work for lower pay.

If you want job security, flexible working, decent conditions, good pension then (in the UK at least) you work for the government.

If you want good pay then you leave.

Leaving that job security for less money is, imho, absolutely insane.

Probably America. Employment rights are a fairytale over there
