Grok says this (yeah yeah):

The second sentence (“I don’t think there will be any location based game that isn’t building a spyware”) is too absolute and cynical. Location-based games must collect and process real-time or near-real-time location data to function at all; without it there is no game. That inherent requirement means significant privacy trade-offs: sensitive movement data, potential for re-identification, stalking risks via social features, and the possibility that data is retained, aggregated, shared with partners, or later monetized in ways players did not fully anticipate. Many free apps (games included) also embed ad/analytics SDKs that collect extra signals, and location data brokers have obtained signals from large numbers of apps.

However, this does not make every such game “spyware.” Spyware typically implies covert, unauthorized, or malicious collection beyond stated purposes (e.g., hidden keyloggers, unauthorized camera access, or data exfiltration without disclosure). A transparent location-based game that only uses location for gameplay, discloses it clearly, minimizes retention/sharing, and avoids unnecessary trackers is not spyware—even if the data is sensitive. Privacy-respecting designs, stronger regulations (GDPR-style purpose limitation, opt-ins), on-device processing, or paid models without ad tracking are possible in principle, though the commercial incentives for free-to-play location games often push toward more data collection. Academic work on location-based games has documented interpersonal risks (e.g., other players inferring locations) and design shortcomings, but does not conclude that the category is inherently spyware.

I get it, the propaganda pushes these sexist sentiments onto people who'd otherwise not openly condone supporting or even expressing such extreme things. But really, who actually are these "people" that can be persuaded to revoke women's rights, or spread sexist propaganda, by a case that's a) clearly a pysop, and b) a tragedy, yet not lonely amongst a sea of schizos that slaughter their families due to psychotic breakdowns (cases that don't amount to revoking men's rights, fostering a culture of owning and controlling schizos, etc). It's males and literally/figuratively raped women, conservative religious types, the "public." People who despise women not only because of lindsay clancy, but because they were already primed to believe women are deserving of exploitation, neglect and punishment. People willing to tout slogans stripped of proper understanding. People who see the death of three innocent lives, a little girl included, with a medically failed mentally deranged mother murderer, and spin it into reels about "when women's feefees are hurty they think they can kill babies." The case itself is a psyop and it's working, but the people that gobble it all up left us doomed long before any of this started. These people can't treat this case with the sensitivity and nuance it deserves. Or they can, and are just purposefully evil to serve their own cause, their own benefit. Which is the majority. These males don't even have the "excuse" of experience with pregnancy, unlike these nutjob mothers online flocking around lindsay. These people were always going to be sexists, is what I'm saying, even if such a heinous crime wasn't there to push them further.
Their will to treat women decently is not being overpowered by real personal experience, mass epidemics of violence (infanticide is a rare outcome of postpartum psychosis), nor sincere concern for children (they keep whining about the reducing birth rates. Nothing if not hypocrites). They're giving into these notions because they lack the ability to understand women as nuanced human beings failed by medicine, society and motherhood altogether. Or, simply, they fail to accept that women can be bad people and that this does not undermine the feminist cause. A victim class does not need to be perfect.

Children with unsupervised internet access for instance.

And I really don't think the public opinion is as irreversibly poisoned as you say. PR management and propagandists would not have their jobs otherwise. Granted they have a lot more reach and resources than you and I.

And even if it were, is it worth adding even more bad optics and ammunition into it? I don't think so. Controlling public discourse is not limited to trying to change the evil chauvinist moids opinion, it's about making their point of views as unattractive as possible - which is exactly what sexist moids are using this case for effectively.

Most people's views are not set in stone, they do not really have any opinions, they just want to seem reasonable and agreeable. They say shit without thinking. Which is why I believe targeting public opinion/image is reasonable.

PS. Sorry for the awkwardly phrased sentences. I am ESL and I post ESL babble.

>is it worth adding even more bad optics and ammunition into it?
i don't see how realistic it is to imagine that these cases won't occur, and that pregnant women and women in general won't feel a certain type of way about them and thus react how they did. the issue from this angle is not the act, but how purposefully blown up it all became, which is likely thanks to it being a psyop. it was a tragedy: and what about all the other cases where fathers axe out their families in cold blood? it doesn't get this coverage because the situation isn't entrenched within a whole load of pre-existing, sexually charged discrimination, and floating in a smog of campaigns considering whether women should really get to participate legally in society. for us it always has to be a matter of looking perfect collectively. a forced curse, and at worst a self imposed one too at times.
the public soaking this up and reaching the conclusion that women don't deserve rights is absurd, and like i said, reveals that there's no "good enough" behaviour regardless. moids are always looking for the way into despising women "justly." this case wasn't a clear cut act of premeditation, many question the husband, many have to debate the nature of mental health and responsibility when enduring a crisis. it's not "this is enough evidence to despise women altogether" territory, but people are acting like it is.
>controlling public discourse is not limited to trying to change the evil chauvinist moids opinion, it's about making their point of views as unattractive as possible - which is exactly what sexist moids are using this case for effectively
of course. still, what do you expect women at large to do about a mother entering psychosis, especially considering she was failed by medical professionals to an extent (they don't all agree on how it was handled, which is natural, but where there's smoke there's fire) and killing her children. it's not the feminist's fault, and extending sympathy to her isn't as outlandish as males deciding this is prime evidence for why women should have their vote revoked. their points are attractive when they neglect the nuance and accuse people of supporting baby killing. this is what i mean by "we were, and are, doomed." if this point of view is attractive (repealing the female vote) because of a muPost too long.

I hope everyone who posted here is still around and found help and love they need. It can get better

I've posted in this thread a couple times before. I'm probably too scared to ever end it unless the only alternative was constant pain. I kinda wish I could know how it feels though, just to see if it would be bad. If I ever did go through with it I'd probably spend a split second scared as shit when I realize what's gonna happen

i'd never commit suicide because death is guaranteed already. i can wait through anything when it'll all be the same in the end

Go back to the nasty image boards that allow this

When I was younger, a lot more unstable and in a very dark place mentally, I had a friend who was extremely loyal and beat the shit out of my dad when he abused me, managing to avoid leaving any evidence. When a sexually abusive boyfriend broke up with me after forcing me to spend all my savings, I honestly considered telling that friend that I was raped, knowing he'd do something a lot worse and would probably get away with it. Thankfully I stopped binge drinking long enough to realise how selfish and deranged that would be.

I steal ewaste from work all the time because they just throw perfectly good things away whenever. If it can fit in my backpack and it’s on the disposal pile, it’s coming home with me. Not especially expensive items, but some of them have been pretty useful. I have a really ancient spinny 1TB hard drive that I’m using for file backup. I just consider it recycling. You can’t even dumpster dive this stuff because they put it through some kind of grinder, you have to get it before it goes to the grinder. We’re moving to a new building soon and if it has CCTV, I guess I’ll stop.

used to all the time from big stores. loss prevention at most of these places now is wayyyy too serious for me to want to try anymore. not worth becoming a felon for multiple instances of pety theft.

went to the grocery store recently and accidentally put something in the bagging area that i didn't scan at self check out. immediately the machine started beeping and then played a recording from above of me putting the item in the bagging area… along with exactly what item it was. scared me straight for now lol

No but I really wanna do it I don't know how to get away with it though

Not shoplifted but stole money from a friend when I was like 11. It was $10 left on a table. I felt bad. Never got caught but also never confessed because I was (am?) a trash person. As far as I remember I never stole anything ever again.

I shoplifted a lot when I was 11 and stopped when I was 13 after getting caught. I started again occasionally in my mid 20s when I worked in a small shop when I knew I'd be able to get away with it.

Yeah I know I'm a weird but I have a 100% success rate so far

>Do you believe in past life regression
I'm curious about it, because the idea of accessing memories from a previous life is almost haunting to me. I don't think our past lives, if they exist, even really belong to "us", since we've only ever known our current bodies and can't be pinned to our old actions. Perhaps this mentality would put a mental block in the way of any future attempt I make to go under hypnosis, but I have had a friend who's spiritually gifted share that she has recollections of things that did not happen to her, and left her with fears. It's interesting

>What's your thoughts on regressive hypnosis
Wouldn't this method be vulnerable to the power of suggestion? Doesn't being put into a vulnerable mental state and then pried with questions make it easier to hallucinate false interpretations of the truth?

>>12136
It's a very messy practice, I haven't experienced much of anything supernatural beyond some mild stuff I'm a bit iffy on. I'd do anything to believe in something kind of woo woo like this though. Reincarnation is a scary thought to me though, I don't wanna experience death over and over

I have a complicated relationship with religion because of this subject honestly, deep time is scary

SCP stories have captured my fascination for almost a year now. I think i wouldn't even mind becoming D-class if it meant that i could witness something supernatural at least once before i die. I want to believe in magic and the otherworldly so bad. Witnessing something supernatural would give me hope, because otherwise nothing really matters to me, we're just mortals without purpose, just doing whatever that helps us not think about life and its finity, just wearing masks, and trying to forget that they're just masks. Succeeding at forgetting still would be a sad state of existence. I want to believe in immortality. Human life seems so fleeting that taking it seriously and putting in effort seems like a fool's errand. One moment we're learning to ride a bicycle and before you know it it is already time to depart.
