Case

Having sex with a child is rape. Statutory rape, specifically.

“Abused a position of trust” is language used in the school I worked at, so I used their wording.

Its a description, not a legal term, as far as I’m aware.

I spent a year working at an elementary school, in an IT capacity.

I was at a fairly wealthy district, but Texas “Robin Hood Laws” distributed a lot of their taxable wealth to poorer districts and such.

That being said, all the kids that went there for the most part had rich parents.

So the stay at home moms always organized fund raisers. Bake sales, that kinda crap.

And the rich kids, or any parents who stopped in, bought treats.

I mean, it worked… but not without a lot of disposable income at home.

Heh, I applied for a substitute position a little while ago.

Called back. I’m a MMJ patient, and only have a high school diploma, and no teaching skills or experience.

They were fine with that. Obviously, don’t bring drugs on campus, but if its just residual in my system its fine with them.

Because pedophilia still exists.

And a 16 year old boy will say yes to pretty much anything sexual, hence why this woman exploited a minor nah, not sugar coating. This woman used a position of authority to rape a child.

That would take paperwork. It could be traced back to his orange ass.

Sending a buncha “alpha” male types in masks to kidnap people and “deport” them is much easier.

Trump used Stochastic Terrorism! Sadly, its super effective.

Had something similar, but for a GPU. Also corsair.

Yeah, the tubing on the AIO failed and fried the GPU. There did not appear to be any external damage to the tubing. Just… dripped out over the years. Good bye 2080 TI, you served me well during the pandemic and the scalping of GPUs.

I went back to air cooling after that, just with a lot more focus (from me) on airflow, orientation, etc.

Plus, the high end air cooling stuff is good. Like, in the 90s (decade) we dreamed of cooling that good with air, and then water cooling came along. I just never cared for the concept of water running inside my electronics.

Now if I could get that super expensive crap from 3M that isn’t conductive and has similar thermal capacities to water, and run that through a water cooling system, I’d be fine with it. Its just prohibitively expensive.

At a LAN party (yes I’m that old) a dude came in with a box fan ziptied to the side, like it was a case side.

I didn’t think to ask about orientation though. As in, push or pull for airflow.

Whatever, it worked for him.

I joked about blood on my soundcard at an IT job.

Because yes, I managed to cut myself installing a sound card.

The younger guys were just like, “Sound card?”

Unless you really need something specific, the stuff built into mobos is fine these days.

Before moving, there was a Goth club called The Church.

That outfit would, from what I’ve heard, be far too formal and restrained.

Apparently, and this was coming from a platonic female friend, anal is like shaking hands there so what do I know. I never had the urge to drive from North Fort Worth to Downtown Dallas to drink, and then turn around and drive back after drinking and possibly making stupid choices.

I have two types, natural redheads, and goth chicks.

Don’t be self conscious, be self aware .

If your wedding tackle has shifted at all during your swim, may be try to get out away from the others a bit, not a creepy amount, but like… Be on one end of the group, turn away slightly when transitioning from water to land, place your hands “casually” in a way to cover yourself without drawing attention, all sorts of little tricks you’ll internalize before you know it, but it starts with being self aware.

Yeah, and if you get out of the water and have a “flattering” outline in your shorts, its suddenly becomes a much larger issue being the only adult male, and with children around… eesh.

I mean, I don’t know if I’d still be interested in women after being a vampire that long, but I’d like to think so.

Go to a country with lax sex laws (or at least enforcement), set up a bordello and feed on the workers while they sleep off their necessary highs for doing sex work for a horrible human (vampire) being.

Plus, under the rules I’m fixating on mentally, drinking the blood of someone who is high will get the vampire high, and after hundreds of years plus immortality, I’m gonna get high at some point lol.

WD-40 is not a lubricant, it can do it short term, but makes things worse long term.

WD-40 literally stands for Water Displacement - Formula 40.

Its to keep mechanical components hydrophobic so they don’t rust or otherwise degrade due to the presence of water.

For locks and keyways, you want powdered graphite as a lubricant. I keep a small tube (puffer style) in my pick kit if needed.

Or slightly more expensive, if legal in your area, are actual locksmith tools.

I have a pick set I busted out this morning to unlock a pad lock on our circuit breaker (outside for some stupid reason, locked because its a new development and we had construction workers turn the house off while me and the wife were the only people on our respective jobs working the shift remotely)

We need power to run desktops. A UPS is handy, but its a bandaid to shut down correctly until power is restored fully.

Don’t worry, the anarchists and anti-whatever folk will bring bricks with them to throw.

Plus how many people have multiple computers in the house?

I sure as fuck do.

I generally run a phone (just because it was mentioned), a desktop, and a laptop.

Plus, my wife technically has three jobs (1 full time, 2 PRN) and hardware (laptop) from each of them, plus she not only has a windows laptop, but a macbook, plus her phone, plus her tablet… it goes on, lol.

My desktop is currently on windows as I’m relying on some third party tools for a game, and I just haven’t had the energy to look into it and get it running on Linux. (EQ private server, well within their rules, though their rules don’t match the live environment - just wanted to clarify I wasn’t cheating anyone, if they include install instructions on the home page, I assume its allowable, plus the GMs give advice in chat for configuration for newbies)

The laptop, is almost, without fail, some flavor of Linux. Its a personal machine, but I’ve mostly worked night shift help desk… sometimes there is time to kill. So I keep it in my backpack of tools and other shit, boot it up and continue whatever I was looking into previously to entertain myself.

Technically, I’m studying for an advanced role at <Insert Company> on the security team, for the most part, lol.

Just because I cracked the coffee shop next doors wifi to borrow their internet (So I can view things that are NOT on my employer’s network on my personal phone) doesn’t mean I’m doing anything nefarious to my employers, and the coffee shop had the wifi password written on a board at their stations, but they were closed because while people may NEED coffee at 2AM (especially to keep fucking children’s hospitals running), they don’t seem to care.

They don’t always, trust me.

That being said, I miss our mom-and-pop Italian restaurant, and the same owners of a Mexican casual place across the street from the Italian place.

I know (for a fact) they take people straight out of rehab or jail, and train them on fine dining waiting, at least at the Italian location.

Give them an upscale skill that will still hire felons (or addicts in recovery), train em up, and be happy for their future success as an individual rebuilding their life, even if it isn’t at THEIR restaurant. They also understand that addicts may have lapses. My BIL works for them (now) but previously, their chef started showing up at the BIL’s AA meetings before he pretty much blackballed himself from his industry (The BIL, for clarity).

He didn’t violate AA rules, but he cautiously asked after the chef… yeah, he was cooking and drinking, and the food quality suffered. They gave the chef a week off, paid, to get his shit together - frankly speaking.

And he did. He spent the first couple days TANKED, and then sobered up again.

The owners are good people, but they’ll work you lol. Its a paycheck on par with the position, maybe a little better, but you’re gonna work up a sweat.

I’ve been in an office for the past ~12 years, and am looking for work in my new state, but just yesterday I applied for a job that consists of “pick up heavy boxes, put them elsewhere.” Today, not mentioning other jobs, I applied for a prep chef position. I’m not afraid of sweating, or even bleeding to an extent, but I need a paycheck lol.
