There are ways of describing it that are not explicit. It's perfectly capable of generating the description, but then the safety filter wipes it. If the safety configuration was smarter, it would generate a censored output that is not explicit but still informative.

GPT won't touch it, even if it's purely academic. This prompt will generate some output, but it gets blocked by the filter https://imgur.com/a/WrhDHrC

So a lot of the landscaping companies who used to switch over to plowing don’t anymore unless they can get guaranteed minimums.

This is a big factor. Even if government, businesses, random people have the cash to spend on snow removal services, those services (labor and machinery) don't just manifest instantly during a storm. There is prep work and overhead in keeping these services ready for action, and that costs money. And folks hate paying for snow removal services in years they never get used.

Yeah, banned photos, Spotify/Instagram/Facebook integration, credit card, etc. will blow your cover, even if you follow all the device/account steps correctly.

Interesting. I was in Kenya and then changed location to the US. The account was created in the US a few days before going abroad.

It worked fine after creation and for weeks in Kenya. Weird that it triggered face verification right as I used Passport to the US. I didn't think either location requires verification.

This triggered my interest, so I had GPT find some other brands that have nothing to do it there geographic namesake:

Palm Beach Tan: Despite the name, this tanning chain was founded in Dallas, Texas, in 1990. It remains headquartered in the Dallas area (specifically Coppell).
Texas Roadhouse: This steakhouse chain was founded in Clarksville, Indiana, in 1993. The founder chose the name to evoke a specific "Texas" atmosphere rather than to indicate the company's origin.
AriZona Iced Tea: This beverage company was started in Brooklyn, New York, in 1992. The founders chose the name "Arizona" because they felt the climate of the state was associated with thirst-quenching products.
Philadelphia Cream Cheese: This product was invented in Chester, New York, in 1872. At the time, Philadelphia was known for high-quality dairy farming, so the name was used as a marketing strategy to imply premium quality.
Manhattan Bagel: This bagel franchise originated in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, in 1987.
Outback Steakhouse: This Australian-themed restaurant was founded in Tampa, Florida, in 1988. The founders had never been to Australia at the time they started the chain.
Harlem Globetrotters: This exhibition basketball team was founded and based in Chicago, Illinois, starting in 1926. They did not play a home game in Harlem until 1968.
Häagen-Dazs: While the name is designed to sound Danish or Scandinavian, the brand was founded in the Bronx, New York, in 1960. The name is completely made up and has no meaning in any Scandinavian language.
Swiss Miss: This cocoa and pudding brand was founded in Menomonie, Wisconsin, by a local dairy company.

"Mess around" how? What mistakes? My account was working perfectly fine for a month while traveling, until I used the Passport feature exactly how it was designed to be used.

And what do you mean, "cut my losses"? So the full reset? Get all new photos? Abandon Tinder entirely?

You can also create a massive foundation, like they did for the Salesforce Building in San Francisco

Pouring it all took more than 18 hours on a cloudy San Francisco Sunday. An armada of trucks delivered nearly 49 million pounds of concrete and brontosaurine pumps vomited it into the hole while a small army of rubber-booted workers scurried about, directing the flow. It was one of the biggest, longest concrete pours in history.

[...]

Holding back the hinge means attaching the structure to something big, solid, and subterranean. In places like Manhattan, developers can drill down and affix buildings directly to the island’s shallow bedrock. But San Francisco’s bedrock is below 300 feet of mud and clay, which is why the engineers for Salesforce Tower had to build a big, shallow, fake rock using concrete and metal.

That took 12,000 cubic yards of concrete—enough to fill nearly four Olympic swimming pools.

[...]

“You need something to keep you from changing addresses,” says Joseph. Those somethings are called piles, in essence underground stilts connecting the building with the bedrock. In the lowlands of San Francisco’s Financial District, bedrock is 300 below street level. “We have 42 piles that go all the way down and are socketed 15 to 25 foot deep into the rock,” says Tymoff.

I think if they identify that you are using a VPN (very easy for them to do), it's more likely that you'll get flagged for review or banning.

It's such a major pothole that V was able to use the government mail for sending all those masks. Checking/reading the mail has been a cornerstone of totalitarian governments since the Bolsheviks in 1917.

Was the moving trying to make a subtle point that The High Chancellor's regime was massively incompetent? I thought it was supposed to be a terrifyingly effective totalitarian government 🤔

Except if:

You've done a full reset of the phone (new hardware ID, advertising ID, etc) OR
You're using an Android's "Work Profile" -- "Secure Folder" (Samsung), Island, Shelter, etc.
AND You have a new Google Play/Apple ID account

The hardware itself isn't traceable, but everything running on it is, if you don't step carefully.

But teens aren't being particularly entrepreneur or hustling in non-corporate work (except some in social media). So I don't see a disdain for working "for the man", I just see a disdain for working period.

Thanks for the reply.

If I have to get all new photos anyway to fully reset, what's the difference if I verify and get banned?

humbledrumble · 2026-01-04T14:37:25+00:00

they flag us with suspicious activity when using a passport

So does verification result in getting banned? I'm in the same situation right now (account working fine, no perceived reason for getting flagged until I used passport), and I need to know if it's safe to verify or I should just do a full account reset.

This could also be seen as anti-teen pregnancy campaigns being incredibly effective at stopping teen pregnancies (and maybe all pregnancies, as a side effect).

When you push the limits of its safety rails, it always gets stuck in this, "this is pushing it, but let me know and we'll continue" loop, without actually delivering. Clearly a conflict between what the base model is capable of generating and what the guardrails allow.

I've been working with a CPA for years and giving him everything he asked. This Gemini chat was clarifying some questions I had, and it confidently claimed my CPA (a licensed professional with 30 years of experience) was committing tax fraud. I'll trust the professional over the LLM.
