Shit, I am sorry my dude, this does sound like an unhealthy dynamic. While not as severe, I have been in situations like yours, and while I was able to cognitively handle what was being thrown at me, I didn't realize the emotional, and subconscious trauma.
Slowly overtime your brain is adapting to this environment. All that criticism from her is going to stick with you.
I wish you the best man, I know these situations aren't easy to leave.
Hey! 😋
So I'm super awkward, and anxious! (ADHD Autisic) And I'm really hoping I could get some help finding a casual way to ask someone out to a concert or dinner without creating the assumption that I'm paying for both tickets/meals.
Any ideas other then just bluntly asking to go Dutch?
Dude you are basically frothing at the mouth attempting to call me stupid for not approaching the conversation in a manner you like. That's you. You got darkness inside.
🥱 Not trolling. You want to control the conversation, and I'm not letting you so now you're ranting. Classic Marxist.
Listen, you could have left this conversation at anytime, you choose to sit here and rage.
Wrong.
Not saying it is impossible, but the simple fact that internet exists or not is absolutely not indicative of porn having a positive or negative effect. It is a pretty weak article to use as evidence against what I am saying when it states clearly that these are only associations and correlations and essentially guesswork.
It's more than you've provided.
Because they're computer generated images not children.
Dude if you can do anything other then deflect to propaganda by all means go back and respond to my initial criticism towards your position.
The whole point of having threads is that discussions can branch out. There's no direction or perspective I'm beholden to, and I see absolutely nothing wrong with me calling out your position as I see fit.
Sorry, I really don't support your perspective. If you have reasonable suspicion to believe real child porn is being used in these models prove it to a judge and get a warrant. If someone is a bad actor to the point of criminal intent, prove it to a judge, and bring it to court.
Woo!
This makes me happy! I've been working to re-engage my skepticism, and called this one!
Your inability to understand ain't really my problem buddy. We've established you have zero authority here, you and I both agreed on that point.
What you mean to say is you feel I've only made useless noises, which is cool, you're allowed to have all the feelings you want.
Dude how are you going to regulate AI?!!
Like by all means go after people harming others, but man... You realize you have no control right? Black markets THRIVE in this world. Like fuck, they can't even keep drugs out of prison.
Eh... I'm skeptical.
This took me 2 seconds to google.
Perhaps the most serious accusation against pornography is that it incites sexual aggression. But not only do rape statistics suggest otherwise, some experts believe the consumption of pornography may actually reduce the desire to rape by offering a safe, private outlet for deviant sexual desires.
“Rates of rapes and sexual assault in the U.S. are at their lowest levels since the 1960s,” says Christopher J. Ferguson, a professor of psychology and criminal justice at Texas A&M International University. The same goes for other countries: as access to pornography grew in once restrictive Japan, China and Denmark in the past 40 years, rape statistics plummeted. Within the U.S., the states with the least Internet access between 1980 and 2000—and therefore the least access to Internet pornography—experienced a 53 percent increase in rape incidence, whereas the states with the most access experienced a 27 percent drop in the number of reported rapes, according to a paper published in 2006 by Anthony D’Amato, a law professor at Northwestern University.
It doesn't seem right to me to prosecute someone for computer generated images.
Okay... So correct me if I'm wrong, but being abused as a child is like... one of the biggest predictors of becoming a pedophile. So like... Should we preemptively go after these people? You know... To protect the kids?
How about single parents that expose their kids to strangers when dating. That's a massive vector for kids to be exposed to child abuse.
Like holy fuck do you not hear your kid screaming? Do you not have consideration for other fucking people? Or are you just so fucking useless you have zero ability to parent your child? I'm assuming the latter.
Fuck people.
I'm chilling in a hotel hottub, and there's a kid in the pool just screaming, fucking just screaming on and off at the top of their lungs, the sound just echoing off all the tile, it's fucking horrible, holy fuck.
Ughh, just really needed to vent that. Thank you. And fucking thank god they just left.
Fuck I'm greatful I don't have kids.
-edit-
New group of kids started floating around the hot tub bumping into me 😑 Asked them to stop, and then had to speak to their parents about it.
