Don’t gell-mann yourself.

If it spits out plausible looking but incorrect things you notice with high frequency, how much do you not notice?

Haha fucking idiot clankerwanker.

These machines generate plausible text. That’s all.

There is a massive rise in b6 poisoning. Although it’s in fucking everything leading to double dosing. E.g. magnesium supplement? b6, hangover cure? b6, energy drink? b6, multivitamin? b6 etc

historical materialism

There’s actually a really good method of analysis that is highly predictive about the actions of classes of people politically.

But… you didn’t take a look at the report and were talking about the most anodyne interpretation when they

a) explain why 18 b) explain the scope c) break down the kinds of attraction by age group d) break down the kinds of offences

Asking if you looked at the report and what you thought about one of the most shocking things is completely reasonable.

Why did you have to be so rude and smug earlier? you hadn’t read that part of the report so you didn’t have a good reason to assume I was making shit up.

I copied the title of the authors in that piece, I don’t want to inflame people, I wanted a discussion of something I found extraordinarily shocking.

Would have sexual contact with a child younger than 10 years if no one would find out (4.0%)

page 12, midwit.

It happened the other way because the vast amount (97%) of convicted offenders are men, and that expert consensus is men are vastly more likely to offend. People have limited time and money, so research is funded when it is able to clearly state its impact.

I wish we had infinite resources in the academy, but we do not.

There are many requirements in the police training manual. For instance anyone being searched at all is meant to be taken somewhere private and their dignity preserved. I assume most people have seen this not happen.

Same gender is one such requirement.

At least one Australian expert says between 3% as likely as men to 25% as likely as men to offend. See below.

You can just look stuff up you know.

Joe Sullivan has spent 26 years counselling child sex offenders in the United Kingdom and is visiting Australia to attend an international police conference at Bond University on the Gold Coast.

While experts agree the majority of paedophiles are men, Dr Sullivan says women are responsible for more offences than previously thought.

“What I can say for certain is that it’s way more prevalent than people fully appreciate or understand,” he told the ABC.

"There’s some research to suggest it could be as high as 25 per cent.

“However, when you look at the representation within the criminal justice system it could be as low as 3 to 4 per cent of overall convictions.”

Well it’s hard to say. Their sampling is pretty good, although mostly reflects the white population here as they discuss.

We don’t really have better stats than self reports, and this is a good study of self reports. You could dive into the data to see exactly what are the major areas, they indicate it’s CP, CP when also a child, sexual chats online mostly. With about 3% assault or worse.

Keep in mind it’s not uniform, the wierdos and freaks are amusingly less likely to. It’s more likely to be the well dressed guy with a family. So social elites. Depending on your crowd you might be pretty unlikely to know someone who does this.

Australia, or at least NSW, is a police state. You are getting filmed, tracked, your browsing history saved, your financial purchases archived, you need government ID regularly updated which requires entering your biometrics into a database.

You need to apply for permits to protest and they are routinely denied. Move along and non association orders are routinely employed to silence dissent, police extort cultural events for ludicrous fees, use dogs which have been demonstrated to not work as justification for routine searching of the public. We are already here.

This /is/ what living in a police state is. No it’s not as bad as it could get but we are already there.

Call me a loser, call me a boomer, call me an anarkiddy, but never call me a pessimist :)

They headline is the summation of the distinct people that answered at least one question in the grouping: “Men who have sexual feelings towards children” with an affirmative response

It’s obviously more important to judge people on what they do but just the prevalence is wild.

Some no doubt is power, given wealthy men are more likely. I think power destroys human minds and no amount is safe.

Even so, when I look at like 20 year olds they look and act like, well, children. Definitely not people I’m attracted to. I’m only 35, and I would say healthy 45-30 ish is what seems hot to me. Although I will admit I’ve always been drawn to people based on if they’re clever (and how much they’re across RAAC ;p) more than their body.

Did you take a look in the report though? Like 1 in 25 men surveyed saying they’d rape a 10 year old of nobody found out

I keep meaning to reply to this and never getting around to it. Now work is intensely busy and I can’t really do it justice.

Just wanted to apologise for dropping out from a rare nice lemmy convo.
