In a recent Canadian court ruling, you all have been deemed entirely dangerous individuals to anyone of adult age.

Yep the whole lot of ya is now considered a high risk to a Canadian adult.

Crazy, yep very crazy.

But as most of you is like under 16 in so many cases, and I simply ain't up to constantly checking you birth certificate, I'm going to have to reluctantly ditch shooting the breeze her with you as being just too much risk.

Weird eh, can't afford to talk to you about routine mundane shit, but no real risk involved with all my downloading activities.

The world is fucking nuts.

Ciao guys.

Signing off , and loggin out.

I guess you'd also have to know the person was a child (and they would have to prove that you knew), otherwise they wouldn't really be able to do anything.

Whats wrong with this rule?
They said INAPPROPRIATE conversations.

In my eyes it's a good rule.

Yeah but imagine a mother txtin' her child to do something for her, in their eyes that's inappropriate because its making an assumption she wants to do something naughty to the child.

If you look at this in a sense of a 1 on 1 live chat between an under 16 and an adult... about specifics of the childs life (the examples given... pets, home etc)... then it makes sense. I dunno, theres very few circumstances I can see acceptable for a child and adult to become friends. The teenage years do complicate things.

Quit being retarted. This is an open board where everyone registered can see and respond to the posts.

If you are privately contacting someone then I could see how that law might apply. Not on a public board.

Unless you post obiviously innapropriate responses, directed specifically at one individual.

(edit) In which case you would at least get warned, if not immediately banned.

Jeez. Talk about the spirit of the law gone too far. I'm 26, a lesbian - so basically probably looked on as a fucking pedophile because I talk to younger people? (This actually happened in one of my classes - I take a tai chi class, and I was sitting out one evening *bad knees suck* and I was also fiddling with my R4. Of course some of the kids of the other students decide to talk to me, because, hey - an adult with a ds and a flashcart - too cool!) I get bitched out by the mother because apparently I was talking to her kids! *Edit: She actually used the word pedophile and luring in the same sentence. Seriously, I had the right to enjoy games without being bothered by her nitwit children!

Honestly, it's restrictive, apparently. ""If you're an adult and if you're having conversations with a child on the Internet, be warned because even if your conversations aren't sexual and even if your conversations are not for the purpose of meeting a child and committing an offence against a child, what you're doing is potentially a crime," he said.'" This section worries me, what is the line between appropiate and not? Soon we'd have to keep to our own age limit in order to not seem like fucking pedophiles in training. Maybe have adult malls/senior malls and a separate mall for children?

Where the limit?

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I do but the optometrist I got my glasses at last year was expensive as fuck even WITH my insurance, so I'm gonna order on Zenni and see if my insurance will reimburse it. And if they won't, then, oh well, still will be cheaper anyway
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    $90 for the safety glasses on Zenni, vs my daily wear glasses were >$200 after insurance
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Haven't been to the eye doc in like 3 years but was pretty surprised they cut the glass in office had the in like an hour ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That's pretty sweet, I had to wait like a week or so for mine to be ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Lookin at buying another pair of regular glasses too. And maybe prescription sunglasses
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah most just ship off to a lab could always call around to see if new ones have in office glass cutters
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    too much effort + im shy and social anxiety :( lmao
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I just wear them when I drive cause I'd like to actually read signs
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Think they said I'm far sighted or some bs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My eyes aren't that bad, I need mine for driving but ever since I got my latest pair I wear them all the time when I'm home now, I never used to before
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm near sighted though
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I feel like docs just say you're this and that for the insurance claims half the time
    +1
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But even my computer monitors, that are like 3ft away when I'm leaning back in my chair, so much easier to see now with my glasses than without
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Doc was cool though, he measured my old glasses and I wanted to try different contacts than I had had previously and he's like "hmmm I bet you're this strength and that strength" and damn dude was dead on the money
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    lmao that clip
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Know a guy who did laser surgery for like 2g but argued you'd never need glasses again
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    laser eye surgery scares me
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    The thought of any kind of surgery shit being done on my eyes gives me unbelievable amounts of dread and anxiety, and with the potential risks or side effects that laser eye surgery has, I don't think my eyes are bad enough to warrant it. I can see without my glasses - not great, but not bad either.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah I feel that if it gets to the point where all I see is blurry then I might consider if
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Just do it like in Minority Report. Won't feel a thing.
