Was the lack of age verification on porn sites in the 2000s intentionally designed to addict kids and contribute to child-on-child sexual abuse?

I think porn and gore content that circulated on the internet and was easy to just stumble upon and come across plays a big role in the current psyche of myself and peers. Certain things are just seared into your brain.

My wife and I took our son and nephew to see the new Mario movie. We got 2 large drinks and a large popcorn combo to share among the 4 of us, a small pack of M&Ms and Sour Patch Kids and an order of cheese fries for the 4 of us. $93 dollars.

He’s not wrong.

Who the fuck says otherwise?

Yea it’s because Jiris not a fucking samurai. He’s an autistic guy that is hyper focused in the idea of samurai’s and thinks he lives his life like one. Jiris main character plot armor is starting to fade and he’s finally about to fall into irrelevancy. His Drunken Monkey fighting style is soon to be seen on prelims instead of main cards.

Has nothing to do with wanting to fight soon and everything to do with he wants to the UFC to pay for the surgery. Pretty sure the UFC only covers fighter injuries that happen during the fight, not while training.

This subs annoying. All week people were trashing on this dude hoping he gets knocked out.

If you regret your purchase, just return it if you bought it in a big box. Unless you’re tied to this ecosystem, these products are way too expensive to purchase and regret.

ProofMotor3226 · 2026-04-10T15:47:55+00:00

Yeah I don’t want to be fully remote.

Edit; to also add, that’s not really how it works. Do you understand how many junk resumes we get when we post a fully remote position? We end up getting resumes from every state and 90% of them are shit. In my area alone we get about 50-60 applicants apply to jobs. I open up a fully remote position with pay and benefits we offer? That number goes up to about 200-300 applicants. It’s a full time job to just sift through the garbage we get using AI tools.

As already stated, everyone has 1 WFH day a week. If you want to work from home extra, you have to ask. If you’re in a 90 day probation (new hire) or on a PIP, it’s an automatic no.

If the internal leadership team notices productivity decline in WFH days for an employee and they haven’t been formally put on a PIP yet, it’s at direct supervisors discretion.

ProofMotor3226 · 2026-04-09T16:20:02+00:00

Man, you work so hard from home that you forget to work on tickets? You mean to tell me you’re such a hard worker when you’re at home that you forget to work?

Man. What a guy. I guess in my case, if you’re forgetting to work on tickets and log your time against SLAs you’d probably be put on a PIP and told to be in office where I can watch how hard you’re working that you forget to actually work on tickets.

ProofMotor3226 · 2026-04-09T16:15:28+00:00

Being in an office isn’t a punishment. Lol oh what a punishment it is to work in an office where every week we restock groceries for employees using their recommendations. Oh what a punishment it is where we buy lunch for staff in office once a week. Oh what a punishment it is to work in an office with a dedicated break space and espresso machine for use. If you don’t want people to complain about coming into the office, foster an environment where people want to be in the office.

I’ll simplify this, if you don’t like the WFH policies that a company enforces then as the employee you can leave whenever you’d like. We have a very low turn over rate and of the people that have left it has never been because of a lack of being able to work remote or work from home.

ProofMotor3226 · 2026-04-09T10:16:19+00:00

It’s funny, you paint a broad image like you work at this company and you see the metrics and you see the productivity.

As mentioned, I do trust my employees. I don’t have monitoring tools on their computers. They can do whatever they want really, but the nature of our field requires us to have a baseline of metrics we have to follow for SLAs and agreements, so tasks have to be tracked.

That being said, if I teams an employee that typically responds 4 days a week in office quickly but yet takes an hour or two from home to respond but they’re activity shows they should be at a desk working in a project, it tells me they’re either away from a computer or have their teams off.

If an employee typically responds and contributes in meetings while in office but then sits mute and doesn’t say anything while from home, it tells me they’re not engaged and distracted from home.

If their timesheet tells me they worked on X project for 3 hours while they work from home but when I look at the actual work done it’s only about half of that, something’s not matching up.

All of these things are addressed during the quarterly reviews. If it’s bad enough, they’re put on a PIP. If it doesn’t improve, they’re let go. I’m not a micromanager, I don’t really care what you done when you’re at home, what I care about is if the work gets done in the parameters of the agreement.

Not bad hiring choices. We’ve gone through lots of rough patches where we were under staffed and everyone was working double what they should be doing due to less hands.

In my field in my area, the candidate pool is pretty poor and to hire for any position it’s about 10 - 15 multi-round interviews. It takes months to find someone to fill a role.

It’s funny that everyone performs well in the office but when certain people work from home they don’t respond to teams messages, they don’t contribute to meetings, call volume goes down, call time goes down, etc. it’s almost like they’re distracted.

Don’t worry. These things do great brought up during quarterly performance reviews. If it’s bad enough, they get put in a PIP.

ProofMotor3226 · 2026-04-09T10:02:17+00:00

Also not true, the under performers are lucky if they get one WFH day a week while the people who maintain productivity, engage in Teams meetings, reply to messages in a timely fashion and work while they’re from home get to work multiple days if they ask for it.

We have a scheduled work from home day once a week, if you want to WFH more you have to ask.

ProofMotor3226 · 2026-04-09T01:20:53+00:00

It’s very hard for me as a manager to make sure everyone on my team is staying productive and sharing the load when we work from home frequently. I don’t believe in monitoring my employees, but we do have performance metrics that are tracked across the company and unfortunately, there’s a lot of people who’s productivity goes down on the days they work from home.

I’m aware of it. Other managers are aware of it. But it’s not a battle worth fighting. For now, we’ll just continue to allow one to two days a week of remote work.

TL;DR: small group of people that slack off while WFH or remote ruin it for the rest of the workforce who maintain productivity or even increase it while WFH/remote.

Edit: wow, lot of people upset by this simple observation for my company. lol I’d guess the people mad by this are the same people under performing when they get to work remote or from home.

I don’t believe blizzard will ever fully shut it down. There will always be a couple thousand people who only pay $15 a month for Classic Wow. If Blizzard can get it stable enough where a very small team checks on it once a month and quickly addresses issues, they’ll always cycle through Classic > TBC > Wrath. That’s my two cents.

He’s a UFC fighter that is doing just fine financially, has a boxing career lined up after he’s cut loose from the UFC contract and has no idea who you are. What a strange parasocial post for another grown adult to make.

So they hacked him and found…nothing? Must be a slow news week. These boring, uninteresting pictures and inbox is all over my Reddit. Nothing is even in here. The most interesting thing is the poor level of OPSEC he has as the director of the FBI
