Not Lost, on an Adventure @notlostonanadventure - Tumblr Blog

Senpai says you’re welcome

Reblogging again because I just realized that if I had this advice in high school I would’ve never made a tumblr account.

Also works for most of those news sites like WSJ or NYT that only let you read a little bit, or block adblockers. Also some disable the scroll bar but if you go to the right side of the console after hitting F12 and look for the CSS element “overflow” and change it from “hidden” to “visible” then you can continue scrolling for free. Might have to click around on different parts of the page to find it, but it should work.

There’s also a Firefox/Chrome extension called Behind The Overlay that does all that with one mouse click. Used it for years; what a time saver.

And if you encounter a true paywall, use Archive.Today to bypass it. Just paste the paywalled url into the blue “search archived snapshots” box near the bottom:

ok but legitimately i think the reason why kids aren’t taking internet safety seriously is because the people who are telling us not to put our personal information out seem so out of touch. no one acknowledges the possibility of meeting very real teenaged friends online, they always say that everyone you meet is a 40 year old white man in disguise. because they aren’t acknowledging things we know are true, it becomes a lot easier to dismiss the rest of what they’re saying as well. internet safety lessons absolutely must keep up with the times and acknowledge the internet’s capacity for good if you want kids to take to heart warnings about its capacity for bad.

Some actual safety tips for teenagers:

1. Have proof they're a teenager first. More than just a picture, have a video call with them.

2. If you want to meet up with them, have your parents or a trusted adult come with you. Even if they are a proven teenager, its still good to have supervision in case any issues happen.

3. If you are talking to an adult, and they start being sexual in any way, you run the fuck away. It doesn't matter if they're 40 or 20. An adult inherently has a power dynamic that teenagers do not. And its up to the adult to act responsible about it. There's exceptions of course, if you're 16 and dating an 18 year old, that's not a problem, we're not talking about that.

4. Being in a server with adults or ran by adults is not inherently bad. Talking to adults is not inherently a problem, and will likely happen in any number of Discord servers. It is only an issue when they are acting sexual and show predatory behavior.

5. Look out for grooming behavior. It can be difficult, because at first it seems like innocuous behavior, like complimenting or giving gifts. Especially if you feel lonely and have low self esteem. And groomers actively target people like that.

If they start trying to isolate you, talk sexual with you, state they depend on you for emotional needs, blame you for their own actions, try to be secretive about the relationship- Then you need to talk to people you trust, block the perpetrator, and call the police on them.

6. If this does happen to you, remember this: It is not your fault. Even if you didn't listen to a single thing listed here, it is not your fault. It is the fault of the adults who knew better, and didn't care. It's not your fault.

To my followers: if any of you guys are underaged, please be very VERY careful on here, and don’t fall for any of the tricks the groomer would use on you, just block them and report them.

Moots you all probably know this but I'm just putting it out there

Also to my underage folowers, its not as widely talked about, but grooming is not just sexual.

Adults will try to groom you to hate minorities through manipulation, will try to groom you to harass others for them while telling you not to mention them, will try to groom you into thinking certain ways about certain political movements slowly (terfs, nazis, white supremacists, and lgb minus the t are a few that come to mind right away).

If you feel like you're being manipulated or forced into doing something for an adult, sexual or otherwise, you need to reach out and speak to someone. Yes sometimes people have bad days, adults are people, but adults should NOT be trying to recruit teenagers into extremist political movements or hate campeigns!

Its something i wish someone told me as a kid, so now im telling you. Watch for the signs, grooming can be more than just sexual.

It's really something just how impressively stupid all these self styled "entrepreneurs" are.

I will happily delete this if I’m derailing or taking away from the original message (initially I put this in the tags, but a friend asked me to reblog as text)

If you don't want to pursue an autism or adhd diagnosis and you have access to a doctor or therapist you can get them to write you a note attesting to a symptom of your neurodivergence (rather than naming the condition itself) and stating the need for accommodation.

It's something my therapist told me about when we were still working in offices. I have sensory processing issues and on multiple occasions the noise in my office was so bad I broke the skin on my hand clenching my fist.

This work-around of course won't fix structural ableism and relies on you having access to a doctor/therapist who actually gives a crap, so still might only help a couple of folks.

Don’t believe that you are responsible for this. They just want to pass the buck.

@syls-uplink makes a very important point here! It's always good to be wary of things that gets you outraged AND neatly fits your pre-existing worldview.

Which is why I googled the headline. And I found the article.

It is in fact real and very recent. September 16 2024. The full story is more centered on how autistic adults communicate their emotions and how neurtypicals misinterpreting autistic people causes issues.

Though it did also have this "fun" quote:

Now if I'm sharing that quote, I do feel compelled to also share this conclusion, which I did quite like.

And for good measure, here is the link, so you can read the article yourself :] It is not actually very long

Contrary to common perceptions and years of research that autistic people can't describe their emotions or often have muted emotional respon

Donald Trump repeatedly lied about single-payer health care — an idea he and Harris both previously supported but no longer do.

“You’re going to be thrown into a system where everybody gets health care!”

If only. He preceded that comment with a lot of bizarro lies about democrats and communism, but the clincher statement—the really scary part apparently—was that quote at the end.

How, oh how, will big business survive if employees can quit their job without fearing it may literally kill someone in their family?
