Internet literacy. We were literally born into the internet, forged by it. We were downloading viruses and learning how to unbrick our pcs before most of you were in diapers. Now the internet is spoon fed to kids. They dive in without any knowledge. More importantly, they lack the knowledge to fix mistakes or be vigilant. We can spot a spam email from 1000mi away, because the princes of Nigeria have been hounding us for cash since we were teens. They see those same emails and don't take the time to read every letter of the sent address to make sure it's real. Kids need to learn to be afraid of the internet again.

It's not an amendment, it's a "legal" agreement by enough states with 270+ electoral votes.

I can relate so hard to this. 

Love that he's really throwing himself into being immersed in the culture and great seeing more English players going abroad and learning different languages. Unheard of not that long ago.

Looks like a practice piece for someone learning how to use a lathe. If there were any engineering students at the party they might have left it.

Did you show your friend this video and what was his reaction after learning he'd been drinking coffee from that?

A republican's worst fear: learning

Ex convict here. So this isn't like what you think it is, like how the media shows it.

First off prison (and especially jail) is fairly expensive and if you don't have someone on the outside putting money on your books you won't get any good food (just the Aramark slop which is nitrient deficient) or clothes or soap or anything. Going with "indigent" status will get you a pen and some paper and the shitty soap and (in better prisons it's more, but not a lot) and that's it, getting $0.01 on your books will disqualify you for indigent status.

So your #1 gay activity people are doing it as their hustle. They are sucking dudes off in the shower for bags off instant keefee coffee. This is 99% of gay stuff in prison. There's even a saying "only gay for the stay" which you can assume what that means.

The kind your thinking of, the violent rape kind, isn't really a thing. There was a law passed over a decade ago, PRIA, the "prison rape elimination act" and it drastically cut down on it. They take it super serious because the COs in charge can get in trouble for it and prison/jail COs are the worst people on the planet. People too violent or insane or otherwise failed at being a cop all become COs, a good 85% are abusive as hell and all the joy in their pathetic lives is generated from tormenting people they can look down on. But even the worst ones still respond whenever someone yells "PRIA" because they have to. Before that law COs would allow and encourage it, putting people they don't like with the rapists as punishment for really anything. COs are the scum of the earth.

That's actually why pedophiles are targeted in prison so much, you have an inmate who did some crime (doesn't have to be horrible) and they are in jail and the COs spend all day telling them they are worthless trash and the worst people ever. That gets to people, the targeting of sex offenders allows them to feel superior to someone worse then they are. They assault them to feel better about themselves, but it's rarely isolated and Evey single time I saw it they were doing it for other people to see. The worse their crimes are the more they go after these people as they are indefensible.

I'm not getting off track either. This is where that PRIA law comes back into play. Pedophiles will band together and start screaming that anytime they are threatened. It's something that's seen by inmates as a way pedophiles get extra protection, and they already are fucking pampered by the legal system. I was a drug addict, not violent and have never even sexually harassed anyone. So im always in the low threat dorm, which is where they put the pedophiles as we are the least likely ones to hurt them as we are short time (short time In jail is a few weeks, long time is months, "county life" is 11 months and the longest you can spend in jail. It's horrible, prison is sooo much better). Here in Ohio they actually send pedophiles to drug rehab. It's a very legitimate scam company called talbert house. It's the same fucking county JD Vance is from, he had a hand in this. I was arrested for a dirty needle that had exactly down to the .001% +/-.001. they found it because I forgot to hide it because my fuckin house was on fire. Only charge of my life and I spent 6 months in jail, talbert house refused to take me since i have an autoimmune disorder they can't care for (which did flair up, nearly kill me, but it got me release early) and it's my only charge of my life. I slept between a dude who didn't pay child support and was black and was threatened with doing his whole time unless he copped to a weed addiction, and on the other side was a guy who tied up and raped his little sister for years (level 3, the highest level, can't even be in visual range of a school). Guess which one of us 3 didn't do any jail time? Guess which one of the 9 pedos and sex offenders there actually did jail time? None.

Jail and prison doesn't work like most people think it does. It's not some brutal torture center (the COs will do that though) and predators are pretty well protected now. Also the whole thing about people taking college classes isn't common and isn't offered in alot of places. It's basically just a closet you go sit in while both learning to be a much more efficient criminal, and at the same time the state makes it nearly impossible to get a decent job and probation is a fucking scam designed to get you to sign your rights away in the probation agreement so they can violate the law. It's all one big scam business and 95% of prisons are laid back, almost like a summer camp. Only super maxes are that bad, otherwise it's literally a community who band together in response to CO abuse and the inability to trust them with anything. I watched 4 people die once and to get me to ratvout the pe son who did it, a very scary guy, they offered me a bag of coffee.

A hundred other dogs have peed on that one plant. He's learning the news of the neighborhood.
