“…Things like that, you know, the usual big guy lies” said Ford Prefect “You know, I’m not even so sure they were wrong” said Zaphod Beeblebrox in a relaxed tone. “I mean suuure, maybe on some idiotic races here and there like humans or…” “What? What about humans?” Piped Arthur Dent.
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.
Since its servhold, you may be able to remove the offending content (for a short time, anything public-facing) and then contact reg.xyz to get it unsuspended. You’re right though that’s not very good customer service.
On a related note, it’s possible a misconfiguration allowed some of the contents or index to be shown publicly and it got caught in a search engine and was taken down in an automated DMCA sweep. I believe .xyz is an American registrar so have to respond to DMCA but could be wrong on that. I like to stay with any .TLD that archive uses… md, ph, etc.

Njalla just buys domains from major registrars on your behalf and owns them on your behalf. Godaddy, Tucows, etc. It was the owner of the entire .xyz space (gen.xyz) who shut your domain down. Njalla is just passing along the info. Porkbun will do the same.
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.
Thank you.

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.
Every wild dog will chase and eat prey and their own poop, and attack any dog that challenges them or their pack.
Every wild cat will chase and catch their prey, and then play with it while keeping it alive for a while until it ultimately dies.
Humans are basically dogs or cats that have 1000’s of societal incentives not to chase and play with prey, drilled into most of us from the beginning, but everyone still has that innate ability that will come out under the right circumstances. If civilization ended today, who you think you are, and what you think you are not capable of today, ends today.
My 6th grade English teacher was the hottest teacher in the school. She’d sit in a boys lap and then ask them to come to the board to answer a problem.
Later it came out publicly that much of the school administration and teachers, city council, and some of the religious leaders were involved in a large and well-known (among the adults, I guess?) swingers club. Small towns get down.
It did largely change the dynamic of the town after they all moved and got fired from what I hear. The abusive kids elementary gym teacher and later high school boy’s weight lifting coach became the principal, one or two principals after one fled the country because of rumors of inappropriate relations with a minor.
Edit: I’m curious if this is going to be one of those comments that get 10 replies from 10 different people from small towns of “Was this in Y city/state?”
Opiates. Often and overly.
DO NOT MISS A DOSE!
you never had any dark thoughts? Never did anything bad?
Yes, you might not be doing this particular bad thing.
You: Yeah sure, but I never did this particular bad thing.
Welcome to the species, bud. We’re all a little mad here.
WranglerStar, is that you?
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 articles about studies, and there are articles of investigative reporting. This is the latter.
