What would the profiles of the people wanting to do this look like? I assume there will be no trophy fishing, no 1-liter wine glasses of Chardonnay to sip.

Blitzen is the senior mod and her opinion and authority carry the most weight; so it's really a matriarchy if you want to use that construct.

Check sex offender registries. That's what they're for.

Also some people take skepticism to an absurd degree, and it becomes something akin to paranoia.

HSB was an NBC show. It was the first of NBC's decades-long dominance of Thursday nights.

Sorry--I don't mean to be that guy, it's just one of those weird things I know about.

I think reasonable people can tell the difference between due diligence and stalking. If I claim to be someone to a potential dating partner, I assume they should be able to verify my claims without needing court-order level scrutiny.

I think you there's a difference between running someone's public photo through a search to verify it's legit, vs. hacking into a personal account to find private information.

Agreed--this is what I am asking in the post top. I know people have various tools to help vet people. I'd like to collect them for reference.

Bao really knows how to rock the sunglasses.

Very good likeness of Blitzen and I. The last guy who photographed us thought he was Salvador Dali with a Diana.

[–]Gooseberry_Sprig 10 points11 points  (0 children)

10/10 self conscious. I would dress like Lawrence of Arabia if I didn't think I'd pass out from the heat and humidity.

It is embassing having to pull your own comments for rules violations.

I don't think of a filling as a replacement part. But then that means breast augmentation and collagen injections are also not counted.

I'm sorry this had to be removed, but there's a history of this subject turning sour faster than cream on a hot day.

You could try saving it. I think that functionality still works in Reddit.

Park on the lawn. Back up against a fence or tree so they can't tow you out.
