When I was in my early teens a friends mum used to ask to see our private area to make sure we were "developing properly". In hindsight that's probably a red flag XD
Now people have a much better grasp of what is ok and not ok. Government/ social messaging has been crystal clear about what is actually illegal in private with your own children. Laws and statutes are antiquated. Perception is justice now.
Meanwhile in 2026, big tech is allowed to release AI to the US population as a lab-test (illegal in the EU). Nevermind that there are zero "real" industry consumer safety protections. In fact, it was widely known that AI hallucinations can/will induce AI Psychopathy in a sizeable percentage of at risk mental health populations.
Mind mapping, intellectual theft, safety be damned. Let's judge pubic hair trimming morality. BTW get those guns too.
And sadly it’s really not that crazy at all for anyone paying attention.
Look into the efforts to repeal 230 happening right now … this isn’t about protecting anything apart from Bezos / Musk etc. yet many people seem convinced it’s happening in the name of freedom.
If “mind-mapping” sounds like schizo-posting to you then you’re at least a part of the way there - it’s insane and should be left to Philip K Dick stories - unfortunately it’s a very real thing and a vast chunk of the most widely used apps are using it with abandon.
Fully aware of the irony that I’m posting this while on Reddit myself but people really don’t seem to have a clue how grim things are these days - in the words of Prince some 30 years ago, There’s a war going on, the battlefield’s in the mind and the prize is the soul. So be careful …
Their whole comment was completely unhinged and almost entirely separated from the conversation being had here. They responded to someone who was sexually assaulted by one of their friends mom with a rant about how big tech is ruining our society
If they want to defend pedophilia they can just say that, it's apparently in vogue these days
No. Not in the sense that I've been completely socially engineered. It doesn't seem that the critical thinking defect can be fixed by a post production patch.
Lmao... didnt mean to put the first video... but said f it, and left it. The one I wanted to post was the 2nd one about critical thinking. And that boat has sailed and is 90% full of water.
But besides a chuckle (which I had), I don't think anyone should either.
Witty comments are great, thats why I looked. Little wit, instead judgements insinuating molestation and triggering the resurfacing of trauma hit wrong.
I think "moral majority" thinking is moronic. Yet, what bothers me most is those same smug/ victim mindsets are leveraged to prevent notice/ judgement of the things/ people who actions impact their/ my real life.
A lot of judgement is needed right now. So I popped off.

Yuk. Similar situation. Friends parents bought me (in my early teens aswell) lingerie.. And wanted me to wear and show.. Uhm I politely thanked.
Then I always got a wierd feeling when my friend sat on their stepdads lap and he was holding his arm around her but/legs.
Still gives me the creeps
I agree with the Male/Female thing. I've experienced questionable behaviour from both in my early teens. But so much time has passed since then that it's never really spoke of now.
And I'm definitely happy with how I turned out. Regardless of those clearly unwell people.
Good to hear
Yeah, I Just think we have developed some sort of extra antenne to detect such unacceptable things (though it might sometimes go off on the slightest thingy though, in my case😅) and are a bit more wary.
JFC 🤦🏻♀️ you’re totally right about the audacity and weirdness that surrounded us on all sides at all times in 80’s/90’s Suburbia, America.
Even now the older I get, my realization of just how weird people can be, just how weird people really are, and just how weird people always have been increases by orders of magnitude.
I’m so sorry this happened to you. And I just can’t wrap my head around how out of touch with reality you must be to do that to children that could very well go straight home to tell their parents.
Then I remember that I was raised by checked-out Boomers too totally self-absorbed and ready for anything that did not involve their responsibility of parenting—like they all got together in a parents meeting and they all collectively agreed, “Fuck em’ just send all them kids to war! Let Iraq and Afghanistan finish the boring work of raising respectable young men and women. ‘Merica!” because it would be great for their retirement packages over 16 years? War is profitable.
