  Eyup, I remember this one guy this dude found who was insanely guilty. Was not only in a “relationship” with a child, but was trying to get him to do cocaine.

  The pedo-hunter who was onto him decided the best thing to do wasn’t to call the cops, but to harass him in a target and make a scene. So much so that the Target staff thought the hunter, not the pedo, was the criminal.

  Police were called and they wound up arresting the pedo upon realizing the situation, but due to the harassment, the way the evidence was collected, and all that…

  The only thing they could get him on was a traffic violation when the pedo was driving away from the Target.

  My advice for people is this - Don’t be a pedo-hunter, while it is noble that you wanna fight back against the cruelty of the world… The truth is you’re going to wind up doing more harm than good unless you know EXACTLY what you’re doing. If you let your anger control how you do investigations, you’re not that much different from the killer cops that butcher the innocent.

  Especially since sex crimes are ones where the mere accusation is enough to ruin people’s lives. I should know, I was nearly expelled at my Community College because a guidance consular blanket accused me of attacking a woman at her car. It was luck, a phone call to her boss, playing the autism card, and calling the bluff… asking her to prove the attack, provide witnesses, show me the police report, and she basically dropped everything and apologized when she couldn’t. And I knew she couldn’t, because I do not attack people, Hell, I have the muscle mass of Melvin Junko BEFORE he became the Toxic Avenger, even if I wanted to I’d just get my ass beat.

  Later she tried it again over me using a female restroom as a transwoman, thankfully this was after Obama amended Title IX to cover transpeole so I once again had an Uno Reverse card. So I just got a call from her boss telling me to use whatever restroom I wanted and to ignore her.

  I don’t know what’s wrong with that person or why she was so hellbent on getting me kicked out of school, but… I think of her a lot, not only because she traumatized me with her false accusations, but because thanks to her, I do know that false accusations do indeed happen, and sometimes they come from powerful people.

  16 is the age of consent in most countries. Even a surprisingly large amount of US states have it there.

  In mine the age of consent is “16” or within 5 years of your current age. Whichever is lower.

  You’d still get a lot of weird looks, social ostracization, and mean comments but it’d be legal.

  We actually had a case recently where a 16 year old had sex with a 45 year old in the latter’s van and the police couldn’t do anything because according to her she consented and 16 is within the age of consent here.

  Raising concerns about whether the age should be raised. But no one expects anything to be done about it. I mean this state has a lot of Republicans in charge and I’m sure some of their mistresses are about to turn 16 themselves…

  Disgusting.

  Sadly as a transwoman I have heard “You should have left the kids alone!” From ex-friends who were Pro-Trans until it became “Support transpeople or support Trump”

  I was disgusted, a former ally suddenly and without evidence starting seeing his many transfriends as paedos

  This.

  Plus it’s self defeating. Too often when they find real predators, the evidence is tainted by the way it was collected by idiots who have no idea what they’re doing.

  I’m reminded of when McDonalds did their Rick and Morty szechuan sauce promotion, and basically no place actually had it.

  It was a big story that Rick and Morty fans harassed workers complaining that the franchise lied to them.

  It got so bad that McDonalds released an app to show where and when stories had the sauce, and announced they’d be selling posters as well. Unfortunately, some locations lied or at least misused the app to say they had the sauce when they didn’t.

  So I went to one location with my brother, and we found a line forming outside. The store wasn’t allowed to sell the posters till late in the afternoon for some reason, and wouldn’t let anyone there for the sauce even enter the building with cashiers actively blocking any Rick and Morty fan from entering, even just looking college age was enough to be refused entry.

  I thought this was ridiculous and just said “Wow, the only thing that’d make this worse is if they didn’t have the sauce.”, only for the lady guarding the door to tell me that they did indeed not have the sauce, despite the app saying they did.

  There was this guy simping hard for her, mi’lady style, and a bunch of brodudes talking about how they’re so Nihilistic and Smart “JUST LIEK RICK!”, whole thing was a shit so. He said “Oh yeah, no they don’t have the sauce, I asked.”

  He was eating cheeseburgers despite not being allowed in, apparently you could have the food brought out to you if you used the app.

  It was fucking cold that day. Still feels like, even false advertising aside, something about this had to be illegal.

  So I said “Fuck this, I’m leaving.”, just got into my car, went to Wendy’s, ordered chicken nuggets and the most asian sounding sauce they had. Posted one of the only food selfies I’ve ever done of what I ordered

  “Was going to post me eating the sauce, but I went to Wendy’s instead because this store actually has products they claim to offer.”

  A friend of mine asked the next day what was up with that post, and I told him the story.

  He looked at me geniunely impressed, and said “Wait, you valued your own self-respect over the ‘cool corporate thing’, voiced your dissatisfaction, and calmly left without making a scene or embarassing yourself? If anyone was Rick at this event, it was you”

  I just said “Huh”, as I didn’t do that to be cool, I was just hungry, wanted to buy nuggets, and didn’t get them from a store that lied about having them…

  It was then that my brother, who had been with me when we went to McDonalds spoke up, admitting he didn’t even think of what we actually did that day either, we just up and said “Screw you guys, I’m coming home.” and said one of the wisest things I’ll never forget

  “If you think you’re Rick, it means you’re Jerry.”

  When I was banned from Reddit I was devestated, thankfully I’ve come to see it as a blessing in disguise since I’m on lemmy now.

  I didn’t have friends on Reddit, I do on Discord though, so if Discord became ban happy I doubt I’d reach the same conclusion

  Indeed, especially since both (Reddit more than Discord admittedly) give out blanket bans on a whim and that means being blocked off from the modern internet, the stakes are too damn high.

  Though what do they mean “Disappearing”, isn’t this like pulling the alarm because you just learned “There’s not that many dinosaurs left”

  I think it’s insane the rules for anything computer-related or computer-adjacent

  “Oh if you make anything using our software, legally it’s ours.”

  Could you imagine if the same logic applied if you removed the “Magic Technology is Magic” aspect?

  “Oh you built this house with one of our hammers, so it’s ours actually.”

  And… that’s part of the problem,

  Women haven’t achieved equity, this is true, and we ARE backsliding as a country.

  But at the same time saying “Could people be co-opting Feminism for Misandrist and Transphobic purposes? No, it’s the men who are to blame!” that pushed young men to the Right to begin with. It’s time to take some responsibility, and say “Not my circus, not my monkeys”

  Another reason why this can’t be Solipsism, Donald Trump is too horrible to be true, if the world was I see it, he would be a plot point in a really shitty movie panned for how unrealistic it is despite playing things so seriously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This speaks for itself⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly sometimes I wonder if some form of Solipsism is true and the reason the world isn’t bright and colorful anymore is because I’m no longer a kid.

  Now do I genuinely believe I’m the only one who really exists and the world around me is a reflection of my mental state? No, but sometimes it’s fun to think “What if?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Let me be more specific.

  I think he will be kicked out of DOGE because of all the controversy and Trump’s own distaste for him. That between this and firing so many people who voted for Trump, Elon will become Persona Non Grata to the Right, pivot to the Left searching for some group willing to give him attention…

  And in doing so, he will finally come out as trans… and be mercilessly mocked by the Right over it.

  He will never find a group that accepts him (well her at this point), because we’ll still remember all the horrible things she did.

  And sort of find herself in the same kind of limbo Caitlyn Jenner is in where Nazis hate her because she’s trans, and Non-Nazis hate her because she’s transphobic.

  This is how I’m convinced Elon’s story will end. Just how I feel like this is going down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guarantee that in a few months, mark my words, he will not be in Doge anymore, he will pivot to the Left, and SHE will come out as trans.

  I would almost willingly put money on this.
