  If they start using Keepass, we now know, their master password will be: kessSWydThIThBaPl!690720

  I hope OP just constructed the core password as an example only.

  Thanks for putting the work in, to coin such a well-rounded response on a topic that is usually easily derailed.
  You seriously exceeded my expectations.

  I cannot read through that whole review right now, but it was an interesting read already for as far as I got, taking into account a lot of nuance to the topic, that one doesn’t usually find in public debates. (Or at least, I wouldn’t expect to find on a taboo topic like this. It’s not like that’s something I regularly discuss, just something I had thoughts about when reading comments under a random meme.

  I guess I have nothing to add. You clearly understood my meaning very well and as the paper states, there’s probably more research needed. I’d hypothesize, that engaging with such material can lead to both outcomes, just as it can for depictions of other illegal activities. The case might be warped however, because people who are exclusively attracted to children, have no way of acting out on that with a real person, whithout it being illegal and immoral, while people who are (also) attracted to adults have a plethora of possibilities. (And can live out some of their sexuality at least, even if they have trouble finding a partner that consensually takes part in their most extreme kinks)

  So yeah, complex issue. Thanks for your valuable contribution.

  Do you have any real-world or professional experience with people suffering from pedophilia?

  I don’t, but I doubt that stance as being unfairly projecting some idea of how things have to work on those people.

  I for one can jerk off to the weirdest porn fantasy things, from the usual thinly-veiled step-siblings trope to rape play, weird power dynamics or tentacle porn (depictions of children not among them, I feel I have to mention that explicitly here), but I don’t have any desire to experience any of that in real life, because I absolutely know it would be wrong.

  I don’t see why that should neccessarily be different for them.

  No no, if you just use Stuhl it works perfectly in German. This word has exactly the double meaning that is necessary for the pun, it’s not even a stretch. I’d have more trouble finding an appropriate verb for the translation.

  A Schemel is really a very small seat, no taller than knee-height. It’s something you sit on to milk a cow for example.

  And a Hocker is a kind of chair with usually neither arm nor foot-rest of any height. I’d say it’s pretty much a perfect match for the English stool. You could call a Schemel a kind of Hocker, but a Hocker can also be as tall as a normal chair or even taller at counter height, in which case we’d call it a Barhocker.

  Yeah, she was weird anyways. Our session mostly consisted of arguments about our conflicting world views.

  Unfortunately it was my first therapy and it took me way too long to call it quits and find a different therapist. But I did, eventually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Winning⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I made my therapist lose her shits, because I sat in her chair once.
  The arrangement was a small table and two identical chairs on either side, with no indication who has to sit where, other than how we’d usually do it and no clear instructions.
  She couldn’t handle it and couldn’t let it go weeks after that session.
  Am I winning?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Winning⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My therapist asked me this on some occasions. Part of my problem is to realize and acknowledge how I’m actually feeling.

  “In my brain” was never the answer, when she asked that, I always felt different parts of my body.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Winning⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Does therapy actually help you if you know what your problem is?

  Yes, then you’re already steps ahead. For some people, figuring out what the problem is, already takes therapy, but it doesn’t end there. If you know, what the problem is and know how to fix it, you probably don’t need therapy. But if you know what’s wrong but can’t fix it alone, that’s what therapy is for.

  Also knowing that they’re talking to you because it’s their job feels like the whole thing is a lie and a waste of time.

  Only if you somehow follow the idea, that the therapist has to like you. That is not the case. It is their job and that’s okay. You’re also just talking to them because it’s their job. Why would you open up to a stranger otherwise?

  I mean you should get along together somehow, but you don’t have to be friends with your therapist.

  though most will not do make the r in markt as hard as Germans do.

  Most German dialects (including standard German) barely pronounce that r. It is noticeable, but far from a “hard” pronunciation, in that case i is more like prolonging the “a” sound.

  Well put. My answer would have just been, that it’s possible, but that it can be very, very expensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Magic Mineral⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry. Asbestos cement is not really dangerous, as long as the concrete is intact and you don’t touch it, there’s nothing to be afraid of.

  It’s when it crumbles or you work on it, that you have to take care. The problem is Asbestos dust entering your lungs, where it’s very carcinogenic.

  But intact walls and roof are okay.
