Nah, the bigger problem is that you can reach victims, but the long arm of their law enforcement can't reach you.

You don't need OPSEC when you're judgment-proof. You can operate in plain sight since nobody can do anything to you.

The ER will at least give you antibiotics for an abcess. But few can afford to actually deal with it.

Your heart's in the right place but your logic here is flawed. By framing it this way you muddy the entire concept of consent by declaring an entire class mentally unsound on account of unsubstantiated past events. Exceptions for intoxication are arbitrary enough. Now past "trauma" invalidates consent?

Don't get complacent. It's easier than you think to recruit the next generation of porn stars from stable families; it's been happening in front of us all along. Just expose kids to sexual topics early and often, nudge them in the direction of alternative religions with euphemistic masturbation rituals, promote the idea that promiscuity and "sex work" is normal and empowering, get them used to posing for cameras for validation, offer them more attention than their parents, get them to reblog excerpts of erotic literature with strangers, persuade them to run away, and coerce them into prostitution/child porn. It's the "fuck you mom and dad please help me" pipeline. The sexual abuse starts under your own roof and the rape only begins at the end. It's the parents who assume their family is immune that end up blindsided. Everything throughout is engineered coercion.

Once grooming became a taboo topic, we stopped talking about it long enough to forget what it even looked like. Anyone interested can trawl /r/runaway or Roblox/Discord looking for fresh faces to add to the NCMEC posters. The FBI has been warning about this for years...but fuck those morons, we're "protecting kids" by banning Backpage, TikTok and PornHub. Porn stars don't all start as junkies from broken homes but they often end that way.

If you and your community care as much as you claim, please advocate for effective mandatory parental controls, especially within multiplayer game environments that allow communication. The action against PornHub is an empty stunt that will likely not stand and achieves nothing.

I tried it again later with House of the Dead 3. It didn't work as well. Harder to dual-wield shotguns.

Troll files bad faith lawsuit on behalf of Falcon Ltd. claiming S. Andworm infringed upon their copyright on multiple gay porn titles uploaded to TorrentSite. This stuff gets picked up by sites scraping dockets and resold as "background check" services.

You are now falsely associated with this content in an authoritative context. The suit will obviously fail but until then people will see a lawsuit was filed against you and by who. The scam works because nobody questions the legitimacy or sees it through to resolution.

"Fake and gay" has never described something so aptly.

There isn't much you can do about bad faith claims. Claimants either face no consequence for false reporting or are able to plausibly deny it.

You can mitigate adverse consequences. Punishments for child kidnapping used to be severe, but then abductors would just kill the hostage since they had little more to lose. Today's sentences are next to nothing to encourage surrender.

> This tit for tat type response would seem to be more consistent with how governments respond to terrorism

Lol. Not a selling point these days.

The US has always had a very strange policy of criminalizing hacking, regardless of intent.

Places like Russia and Israel look the other way as long as the target is foreign, and we outsource our own phone forensics to the latter (Cellebrite). Thus, Israel has a better understanding of our own vulnerabilities than we do.

So you never know who you're up against given some ambiguous heuristics. As retribution, you might end up inadvertently attacking an "ally." It's safest to keep us disadvantaged.

This has nothing to do with national security.

Is eliminating humans the wrong solution, or just one that we don't like?

We see this with crime stats too (and as of late, voting results). Unfavorable outcomes surface, and interested groups immediately move to discredit it.

Because we can't fathom that the results might actually be accurate, nothing ever changes.

Or...keep the animator jobs and send AI to fucking Neptune.

You haven't noticed that tech makes everything worse for subsequent generations? It keeps replacing menial jobs and adds expensive complexity to the simplest of transactions, concentrating all wealth amongst the owner class.

If our great-grandchildren travel to Neptune, it will be voluntary enslavement out of desperation.

Fair warning: when people like you break down and go AWOL, you end up on the radar of people like me. Then it gets handled as a semi-public security incident instead of the confidential medical issue it should have been. Once I reach out to your colleagues trying to figure out what the fuck is going on, rumors start spreading.

Your aversion to accepting accommodations only hurts you. If you need help, you must ask. Losing control of your own narrative is nobody's fault but yours.

I used to like working to the Hotline Miami soundtrack myself, which worked great for coding menial stuff but sucked for troubleshooting.

The Unreal Tournament '99 OST is way better in that it's fast, low-key, and repetitive. I put on a 3-hour megamix and I'm crushing it until lunch.

Girls were later extremely prolific in pirating Sims add-ons.

This is sophistry. This practice is a good way to get away with defamation though, by tricking the victim into repeating your falsehoods themselves.

I accuse you of being a child-sodomizing warlock, and shame you for not telling anyone you go crying to that you've been specifically accused of buggering kids.

This is just more abuse of victims, and an impressive new low. You hijacked my post for this?

Nobody deserves this.

If you think everything sucks and you truly want to make the world a better place, but don't know where to start, try showing kindness and empathy to the demographics the media has conditioned us to hate.

There used to be a disabled older homeless guy living out of a van on my street. I saw him scavenging for cans and struggling to carry them while using his cane. His story was that his family were estranged; no reason stated, but I didn't question it since there was a sparkle in his eye when he talked about rare occasions to see his granddaughter-- and anytime I came around (despite never once asking me for money). I'd donate my own cans as an excuse to stop by and see how he was doing though. It made his day to know anyone on earth gave enough of a shit to think about him. He's far from the only one out there.

Shotspotter is useless (5% is at best par for the course for every intelligence appliance I've used myself) but your expectations are unrealistic.

You're berating them for shaking down street kids for intelligence, then berating them for not taking down gang leaders? Lmao.

That's an impossible situation you've created. How about you demonstrate how policing should be done?

> why would they need microphones to tell them where gunshots go off?

Not where, when.

Software development has a frustrating history of reappropriating words from other contexts. Your "code auditor" is probably more akin to an OSHA compliance officer/safety inspector. Again, experience helps, but you don't need to be the architect of the Pyramids to ensure everyone onsite is wearing a helmet.

They make a good-faith effort to ensure some checklist of conditions are met.

Not harsh, just lacking creativity and losing sight of what prison is for.

For every piece of litter dropped, the sentence should be to pick up 10 more. Make criminals fix the problems they cause.

Foul. I applaud your boldness (the world needs it) but if you're going to play Bad Cop then you have to bring something more to the table than the rationalizations of a gambler. Otherwise this is coercion.

My favorite example: "I'd bet you wouldn't suck my dick, you homophobe." Your answer determines whether you go to bed tonight as a loser, a villain, or a cocksucker.

When you get these sorts of accusations wrong, you're being cruel to an otherwise-innocent person and causing them to doubt themselves. This causes harm. Skepticism and compassion can coexist-- it's called certainty. Call your shots or don't take them.

> The only way there is compassion in the world is when it's between stressed people acting less than their best, often much less. If it's restricted to near-perfection, it wouldn't exist; the word 'compassion' wouldn't have any usage or meaning.

Yep. Forgiving minor trespasses, turning the other cheek and all that hippie Jesus shit makes for a pretty chill life. Even he lost his temper.
