Tight-laced

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

Please enlighten me

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.

Plus people commuting less = less pollution and less congestion.

Good for people, good for the planet, bad for profit for some.

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.

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

Makes you wonder why the staff unionised in the first place. Sounds like they weren’t being valued from the offset.

Replaced by whom?

I get that some people will step up into being Mods, but modding is hard and thankless work - I’ve done it a few times over the years.

There’s always subs crying out for new Mods, so you’ll end up scraping the barrel for Mods, then the quality will go down, people will get pissed off. With thousands of Subs suddenly needing modding, there’s simply not enough volunteers to go around.

One of Reddits unsung resources was its army of Mods keeping the content of some quality (define that as you will). Reddit really is cutting its nose off right now.
