Is there anything in the rules about where the online cancellation has to be housed? I can totally see shady businesses hiding it in a part of the site that’s not even on their sitemap and noindexed just to keep people from finding it.

Sometimes when I have to answer a call from an unknown number, I’ll pick up but won’t say anything. A human will say something when they hear it stop ringing, but most bots listen for voice activity before they start their recording so they’ll just stay silent as long as you do.

Seriously? I just got mine done using the paper method and it was so annoying! Hope this is still around in 10 years.

I’m looking at it the other way. He’d probably use it to fundraise and rally his base. Better to delay so he can’t juice it.

Pumping room? You mean the closet with the free yummy milk?

Dan Savage coined the term “gold star pedophile” in a column years ago, referring to people who acknowledge their attraction to children but never act on it by harming a child or accessing CSAM. I do feel bad for these people because there are no resources to help them. The only way they can access actual therapeutic resources for their condition is by offending and going to jail. If the pedophile goes to a therapist and confesses attraction to children, therapists are mandated reporters and will assume they’re going to act on it. An article I read a few years back interviewed members of an online community of non-offending pedophiles who essentially made their own support group since no one else will help them, and nearly all research on them is from a forensic (criminal) context.

There’s a pretty good article by James Cantor talking about dealing with pedophiles in a therapeutic context here.

Don’t get me wrong - I think offenders need to be punished for what they do. I unfortunately have a former best friend who has offended. He’s no longer in my life and never will be again. But I think we could prevent offenders from reaching that point and hurting someone if we did more research and found ways to stop them before it happened.

Everything HR does is for the benefit of the company. They do not do anything to genuinely help employees. You are a replaceable cog and the moment they decide you’re not useful, you will be tossed out. Never trust them or the structures they put in place.

This is what I did. Works fine for my needs. My older relatives hate it but they rarely come over.

Is it technically murder if the president orders it?

Not an incel but someone on the trans-and-women-hating pick me pipeline: Got into a fight with a Reddit mod about autism. I’m autistic and ended up arguing with a sub’s mod about how not all autistic people are special snowflake tumblerinas. Left such a bad taste in my mouth that I stopped going to the sub, which was my main source of hate content. Let me get exposed to other viewpoints and ultimately I came out as nonbinary after previously saying nonbinary people weren’t real.

Awesome. Do something about the slave labor prisoners have to do in some states next. Then maybe fix commissary account fees and prices. And make sure prisoners can get mail, including books, since some prisons are banning that now. Prisons are currently an insight into exactly how hard corporations would screw us all over if they had more control of our lives.

Exactly my thoughts. Adobe is not the police and they should not be the ones trying to deter crime by any definition. How many horrible things have governments done to “protect the children”?

I’d be glad to switch back to Firefox, but websites straight up don’t work on it anymore. That was the only reason I went to Chrome.

They are ghosts. You just won’t find out until they return to their bodies after they’re unfrozen.

He ain’t wrong though.

Why waste money on housing people when you can evict them and spend it on a five acre dog park?

Imagine how upset they’d be to see their homes marked out in a “Satanic” app with notes like ‘has three young children’.

I don’t have kids and I know it. When I was a kid, my parents would make us banana smoothies as a treat. It’s just banana, milk, ice, and honey. They mentioned a few times that they were excited for us to turn a year old so we could have them because of the honey.
