Nitro is pretty popular. I know a lot of people including myself that cancelled it over the age verification bs.
They still clearly make money through ads and at the very least they scan messages for spam prevention, but also the fact that they are able to guess users age based on discord usage implies they're profiling users. For which they probably also utilize message content.
I am nervous walking in the dark by myself. I simultaneously am relatively tall and will be perceived as male by anyone, so I also try to be wary of how I might make anyone else nervous.
The actual experience that most women have of smaller aggressions even in safer contexts probably also plays a role. I'm probably nervous walking alone at night because of a combination of being physically quite weak in spite of my looks, having experienced bullying throughout my childhood so "unpleasant random encounters" is a concept engraved into my brain, and because I'm affected by reading/hearing about any kind of assault happening to people walking alone.
Replace the bullying with "random men being assholes/threatening/worse" and most women have all 3 of those factors as well.
Someone... touched what some stranger is wearing to remove it... and it wasn't an emergency???
What the fuck is wrong with people
There were a sentence or two in each of the 1300 and 1400 passages I didn't really understand, then 1200 was mostly gibberish. Also 1800 was remarkably difficult to read with that sentence structure.
1400 onwards is also where it really started reminding me of dutch.
Also at some point during 1500 I started reading it with a heavy scottish accent which somehow helped me actually understand it.
This isn't really about the EU or any government, this is bankers and CEOs being .
Is it that surprising? Age play is a thing, plus so much porn has actresses dressed up to look like a child for some reason (the reason is people are into it). It's just that, same as any other fetish that will harm people if acted on, 99% of that 1.5% are just gonna be normal about it and not diddle kids.
With the amount of random attention from men women get, the rate doesn't have to be very high for it to be regular, particularly when you add selection bias that people who react like that are probably more likely to approach someone in the first place.
And while I would agree it's probably higher than 1%, 1% really sounds lower than it is - that would be 40 million people globally. If it's 5% it's 200 million and there are still almost 4 billion that are completely normal.
The sad reality is that it just doesn't take high numbers for that kind of experience to be a regular occurence.
I get it though, even if only 1% of men react violently to direct rejection, it makes sense to be careful. Not a lottery you want to play.
So much of dating dynamic feels like it's just been ruined by a few assholes, and the internet giving those assholes more reach only exacerbates it.
Women's breasts are far more sensitive. Also the part where usually they're in a bra all day probably matters.
I've found that clicking them slower (until the new image is fully faded in) can help for the ones that have images disappearing after clicking, and not actually clicking every square containing part of the traffic light (if it's only a tiny edge) helps with the ones that are one image of a thing. I guess being fast or noticing details isn't human enough. Having to wait is insanely annoying though.
In the strictest sense there is no technical definition because it all depends on what is "intelligence", which isn't something we have an easy definition for. A thermostat learning when you want which temperature based on usage stats can absolutely fulfill some definitions of intelligence (perceiving information and adapting behaviour as a result), and is orders of magnitude less complex than neural networks.
You need to fill tax info and everything, which is a very good reason to not need ID because your tax number should be identifying already. I guess they want to combat fraud, but this still seems like a complete overreach.
