I think it’s not humiliating, but if you know someone, you should have some idea what they like/their interests are. Getting a small gift that fits them shows that you spent at least a small amount of time and thoughtfulness picking out or making the gift. If you don’t know the person, sure, cash/gift card.

Although I think it’s becoming less common to have the space or ‘the time’ (but we could prob all spend 30 mins less each day doing nothing on our phones) so giving physical actual gifts are becoming less common, and also due to the economy the idea of ‘mandatory days of gift giving’ is a bit off-putting. People love getting personalized gifts from people who create things, but far less people today ‘have time’ to learn a hobby where they create things in physical space.

Less “Fuck you here is $10” and more “Here is $10 as agreed upon by the social contract unwritten by the masses who came before us, I didn’t have any clue what you might like or want and didn’t think to ask.”

Some people gladly prefer cash/card. I am one of those people. We will make that known well ahead of time.

Time is a flat circle.

Hitman denies being hitman and you believe him, that’s your angle? I know you’re being intentionally obtuse, but it’s clear I was talking about the teenagers, not the woman trying not to be arrested.

Notice how it says it was consensual and they were at the age of consent?

Boy A and Boy B are now the most popular kids in school.

Kid was 2 years older? Totally legal and the top category on every porn site.

For me it’s the high-horse holier than thou attitude most of them seem to carry in online conversations. I know a fee vegans and they are mostly fine in person after the first few months of radicalization, but I imagine they just suppress it in person to maintain the acquaintanceship and then bitch in their vegan echo chambers about how “my co-worker who knows I’m vegan had the audacity to order a hamburger and eat it in front of me knowing I’m vegan, does he know he’s destroying the world with that Burger… AITA?”

If you’re looking for scientific answers, good luck they, Inrhjnjbmost people stop worrying about micromanaging people after a few years of academia.

That’s a good idea. Send message > Message signed and sent > Receiver opens message, signature bits are hidden, but clicking report sends plaintext with signature included. Only ends up in report queue if signature is valid.

Ah I should have taken into account that I am grandfathered in from the AT&T takeover. That makes more sense.

T-Mobile prepaid. Mint mobile is also very cheap, but I think there is one cheaper now.

85 per phone? did you get suckered into a contract+new “free” iPhone or something? I pay 40/mo for unlimited everything in the States but could be paying 25-30 if I wanted to switch providers.

SMS message costs are a scam, always have been. It takes like 1-2 seconds worth of talk time for the same amount of sending a text.

Nibiru. Not Pluto.

Opiates. Often and overly.

DO NOT MISS A DOSE!

Please tell me you work in tech. I want my daily lmfaoizzle.

Current mental help methods for pedophiles include acceptance of their desires as normal, just not something to act on IRL.

I am not aware of the research in this area although I have a minor psych background so that’s interesting and makes sense in hindsight. My understanding is that a large part of the compulsion is driven by guilt, shame, feelings of worthlessness, prior victimizations of themselves, etc. Essentially trying to gain a sense of power by taking it from those more vulnerable than them, like an abuser beating their spouse because someone at work put them down. So it makes sense to encourage a sense of power and lessen any sense of guilt and shame.

On a side note, I can’t imagine having their name plastered everywhere does anything but trigger the compulsion to re-offend. Maybe when we advance more as a society, we can separate individuals into categories of has-offended and child-attracted, with the former being on a public danger list and the latter having frequent discreet visits by social workers and mandatory counselors, etc. To lessen the chance of offense and possibly start helping them before they get to the offense stage (those that were ever going to offend.)

you can’t easily add it to any picture you want (if it’s implemented well

Edit for the downvoters: StackExchange - How do I add exif data to an image?

Going to need you to elaborate on this. EXIF data is just bytes in a file, like any of the other bytes in the file. It can be changed and is often changed without the users consent. Are you proposing we create a new type of hardware, something akin to Secure Enclave, and then mass-produce and add it to every consumer CPU to ensure some specific types of exif data isn’t tampered with?

There are many theories

So dumb he managed to find himself elected president of the United States, even.

‘Trump dumb’ is dangerous thinking.

Tinfoil hat time… Repeated misquotes like this make me wonder if it’s a signal to someone who he isn’t able to contact directly because his communications are closely monitored.

It’s easy to say he’s just dumb, but clearly he’s quite capable. But maybe he’s just using filler words because he has fuck-all to say.

Same for any leftists that don’t tow the party line on a given issue.

Almost as if it’s about ingroup/outgroup identifiers and group consensus.
