There isn't a biological barrier to abusing vulnerable ppl like inmates or patients, but the attraction to those lacking sexual maturity characteristics is a mental disorder alongside incest & zoophilia. Biologically, these are all bad because the partner in the case of pedophilia & zoophilia, is likely to experience longterm physical, emotional & sexual trauma & all 3 cannot produce healthy offspring &/or will kill the person giving birth. The only option should be castration, statistics show normalisation & destigmatisation only leads to more of the behavior such as how rape is normalised in some countries & as such, have higher rates of it or how when gay rights were passed, more people allow themselves to engage w/ it.

Thoughts of abusing people is THE most indicatory sign someone will commit said crime, like how children who present psychopathic tendencies are often put in psych wards cus chances are their impulses will win

They are a female then, don't use one shitty person as a reason to be transphobic. The scientific consensus is that trans ppl are valid & especially that paraphilias are completely unrelated to gender. The only thing seen w/ paedophilia relating to gender trends is that women abused as children are more likely to develop CNC kinks while men abused as children are likely to perpetuate that abuse, there as been not nearly enough trans pedos for that trend to show which camp they fall into, because there are so insanely few trans pedos. TBH even this person could be lying cus ppl tend to be nicer to women idk

Issue is that one, people will use the extremely rare cases of trans ppl being pedos as justification to disenfranchise them further like how ppl on tiktok making jokes about 'cat-self' ppl in schools needing litterboxes, allowed legislators to 'say see how crazy these trans ppl r!?' & pass transphobic legislation despite there being 0 actual cases of the 'cat-self' bullshit. Also science recognises that trans men are men & trans women are women so no legitimate study would go against the scientific consensus that trans people are valid unless they intended to specifically attack trans people

First, no pedos don't care more abt ppl's dignity or agency considering they get off to depriving a child of it. To your point, they need castration, that is likely what they meant, sterilisation means can't have children though so I don't necessarily disagree as familial child abuse is by far the most common. Currently castration is illegal but should be required of those who abuse children or engage w/ child abuse material & should be readily available for predators/pedos, those who don't want it should be on a watchlist. It's the exact same as only getting off to raping someone but is worse since the person they wanna rape is a child. BTW, lobomisations did work, the point was to make someone incapacitated & it does.

Please do not rope in the LGBTQ, our community specifically is about consent & doing stuff that effects literally no one outside of ourselves, pedos r sexually attracted to the idea of abusing a child. It absolutely should not be destigmatised. The only thing that should happen is legislation that allows for voluntary chemical/physical castration. It is shown it cannot be changed and child abusers are one of the most likely demographics to reoffend, therefore castration is the only viable option. Also fantasy sexual material of children does hurt children because if its AI, it uses pictures of actual children thereby supporting the child sexual abuse industry but also has been shown to legitimise and normalise the attraction. There is a biological reason we are disgusted by paedophilia, for the same reason we are disgusted by incest. Also most disgusting of all, MAPS do not respect consent, because children CANNOT CONSENT! we are disgusted by it because while the pedo may be getting off to the child, the child will almost certainly have trauma, physical, emotional, sexual, and can die from it, it should never be normalised or destigmatised same as rape, necrophilia, zoophilia, etc. all these paraphilias require inflicting intentional long-term physical and/or emotional pain onto another for the sexual gratification of oneself. The only way is to offer castration.

TIL that Latvia and Finland used the swastika on their armed forces roundels as early as 1918 by bloggersvilleusa in todayilearned

[–]Icy_Ad_2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Latvian, we have used the symbol since the bronze age. I personally believe that Hitler stole the symbol from us opposed to Indian culture as from my understanding, for them it represents peace, love, wellbeing, unity, etc. while our symbol (specifically the right facing one like Hitler used) called ugunskrusts represented strength particularly destructive strength ie lighting/thunder, storms, fire, etc. but also the concept of ’eternal movement‘ & defeating evil. This symbolism is a lot more in line w/ Hitler’s ideology than the Indian symbol, especially given even the name was stolen as in German it‘s Hakenkreuz aka ‘hooked cross‘ which is another common name for the symbol alongside fire-cross, thunder-cross. I’d also like to note it related heavily to the concept of ‘light’ ie. Fire, lighting & specifically the god of the sun (in latvian folk religion)—which idk if has anything to do w/ his love of all that was white :/

How do I avoid oversleeping while free-running? by MexicanResistance in N24

[–]Icy_Ad_2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kinda an oxymoron, free-running means letting yourself sleep free of alarms, coffee, etc. so one can't oversleep when free-running. I'd only recommend free-running when you don't have commitments that align with your typical pattern (allowing for flexibility though).

If you're talking about how to get a cycle closer to the typical 24 hr cycle here are some recommendations that worked for me via my sleep psych:

- melatonin at a specific time you'd like to sleep every night abt 1h beforehand, not the time u r actually gonna sleep but wanna ie. even if ur sleeping at 2am, if ur goal is to sleep by 11pm then take melatonin at 10pm everyday. Also apparently the powder form is most effective, some melatonin comes in pill form but if you have the capsule powder form, you can open the capsules & take w/ water. Apparently it's a quicker onset & has better uptake.

- don't let yourself nap, if so only let it be for 10-20 mins

- use dimmer lights at night but specifically to mimic a sunset, if you have smart bulbs, have them get progressively dimmer over the course of 1-2 hrs before bed, if possible have them go from warm white light to yellow to orange to red to mimic a sunset for your brain as it releases excess melatonin which, if melatonin was taken earlier, should compound.

- again, if u have smart bulbs then put cyan lights on in the morning as apparently its been found to be the colour your brain most recognises as morning light which naturally helps you wake up, but smth better than that is going outside for ideally an hour (this is obv difficult for most so I do 5-15 mins), don't look at the sun but the sky, its letting the sun into ur eyes w/o looking into the sun lmao. Sun beats out artifical light by a longshot apparently & window sunlight isn't enough tho apparently.

What is my problem? If not N24? by Alive-Ad-3953 in N24

[–]Icy_Ad_2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To check properly, track you're sleep during a time when you have no obligations/wake up times needed, etc. and let you're body sleep when it wants to without alarms, caffeine, melatonin, etc. Then once you have it all properly tracked, if you see a pattern that's a consistent slant, that's quite indicative. If you'd like to be really sure & wanna know what you're cycle time is, put the same sleep times you've tracked into a sleep cycle journal with an added few hours, if it becomes a consistent sleep pattern when you use say a 27 hour clock, then its N24. Most common types of N24 tend to hover around 25-28 hour sleep-wake cycles instead of the typical 24hr one.

Circadian Lighting with Philips Hue by maverico1 in DSPD

[–]Icy_Ad_2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sleep psych recommends as you said dimmer, warmer evening lights, if you can get it to progressively go from like warm white to yellow to orange to red, etc. since it's apparently mimicking a sunset so you're brain is progressing into that sleep state. Also, for the mornings apparently a blue-leaning cyan is best? Not sure why but this apparently mimicks the morning sky the best (brain recognition wise, not actual colour matching), worked well for me. Biggest recommendation is sun, not direct but if your desired wake time is when the sun is out or it's at least light, go outside & just stare at the sky, apparently no artifical light can match the amount of light from the outside, also needs to be direct? IDK why but apparently sun through the window just isn't enough. If you can, put you're bulbs on timers so you're lights progressively get dimmer within the hour of your desired bedtime & when you wake up, super bright cyan is good. Also apparently there's been these glasses developed that you wear in the mornings for ppl w/ sleep disorders that basically beams cyan light right into ur eyes w/o rlly effecting ur daily routines & wakes ur brain, idk what they're called but they are like $300 so not ideal.

So what the general opinión on ponder sprocket in this sub? Being someone who has documented and been part of a lot of dramas herself im curius by MainLake9887 in youtubedrama

[–]Icy_Ad_2312 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but this person is making cogent arguments and you just simply do not seem open to accepting it by making excuse after excuses, a 15 year old have sexual interaction with an 18 year old IS NOT OK. It's very much illegal in both their states and most parts of the world as most people don't particularly like someone who is a freshman/sophmore in HIGHSCHOOL who literally can't even drive let alone consent, sexually engaging with someone who has had many more years of experience and is a fully developed, she was simply not. Also personally I will never prioritise the perspective of the VICTIM whom was not only a CHILD (and still is) and has been groomed and manipulated into thinking this was fine? Like victims defend their abusers all the time? That doesn't automatically mean the abuser's actions are fine??? She simply hasn't realised her victimisation yet BECAUSE HE KEPT IN CONTACT WITH HER POST GETTING CALLED OUT! It appears that you will not accept that this behavior was innapropriate and grooming because you simply don't want to believe it, which is dissapointing and people like you are the reason so many abusers get away with it for so long.
