I work in the finance industry and it’s similar. We have to be certain we’re talking to the right person as fraud is rampant. This is ridiculous.
I agree in principle, but that’s not what’s happening in the real world.
My husband has ME/CFS. It’s a life-destroying disease, even though it doesn’t usually kill you. There’s no treatment, no cure, and no idea about the underlying cause, after many decades of research.
It’s heartbreaking to read messages from people who caught it as a teen, seen all their schoolfriend grow up, experience life, find love etc, all while the sufferer is in pain all day, no hope of improving, relying heavily on what family they have who are willing to support.
This is by no means ideal, but neither is decades of suffering. I err on the side of reducing the constant pain.
In the not too distant past, my best friend found out her husband had an affair with a mid-teenager. He was careful not to break the consent age, but the whole thing is Yuk all round.
I called him a Paedophile. She argued he’s not. Hebephile is the word - its still effing disgusting to have middle aged men training their sexual interests on people too young to be trusted to drink, to vote, etc.
Plus people commuting less = less pollution and less congestion.
Good for people, good for the planet, bad for profit for some.
As the parent to a 5 year old, I feel this sooooo much.
I’m having to change my “just-a-second”, as she takes it literally - a second is counted. I now say just-a-minute. Frozen got it bang on when Anna says "just give us a minute " and you can hear Olaf quietly start counting to 60.
The idea behind calling it CSAM is that “porn” has become synonymous with something desirable - foodporn, earthporn as examples.
Child porn needs to keep it’s status as abhorrent, however the term is changing its nature (as language can).
This is it.
I’ve had an awful experience recently with an ex-friend, caught having an “affair” with his 16yr old employee. He’s mid 40s. Turns out, the only illegal part is that there’s pictures. He can fuck girls still at school legally, but he can’t send her or request any pictures. It’s insane.
Another layer is that the age of consent rises 18, but ONLY if you’re in a school, healthcare, care-taking, Religion or sports club setting. According to the law, being her Boss doesn’t mean he’s in a Position of Trust or a Position of Authority over her. Yet, he plainly is.
Luxembourg has a gay Prime Minister. While not Head of State because Lux still has a King, he is rather up there in terms of practicality.
Awww! Love their names!
I used to have 2 ferret boys, absolutely crazy adorable guys. Miss their antics and their endless energy.
I’m on kbin, really hoping that the new Sync will work here. However, given the way Lemmy works, I believe that it won’t really matter as its just another instance in the Federation
Google Maps is now showing me routes which will get me there in minus minutes. I’m intrigued.
Ask me a month ago and it would’ve been Reddit Sync.
Now - WhatsApp, kbin, YouTube
Vampire Survivors on my phone.
Addictive as hell. Completed 100%, now going through and completing every level with every character. about 25% of the way there currently.
Makes you wonder why the staff unionised in the first place. Sounds like they weren’t being valued from the offset.
Banana and Salad Cream sandwiches.
The Salad Cream adds a nice tangyness, you can tell yourself the banana makes it healthy, and you’ve got a proper student sandwich.
Works surprisingly well.
I don’t have a technical answer for you, but as a likely subscriber - I’m glad to see you here. Its (lemmy/kbin universe) is feeling more and more like a reddit replacement day by day.
Welcome & look forward to finding you wherever the sub ends up 👍

Thanks! Tried the Google reverse image search to no joy.
