If the pictures are not, forced therapy is probably the best option.

This is true, but it really depends how "therapy" is defined. And forced therapy could mean anything from things like the old conversion therapy approach for gay people.

You might argue that these days we wouldn't do anything so barbaric, but considering that the nature of a pedophile's is very unsavory, and the fact that it will never be acceptable, unlike homosexuality, people would be far more willing to abuse or exploit said "therapy"

Well, clearly it wouldn't work. You should instead act like you hate gummy worms and give them to her to get rid of them.

I was mostly surprised because Spelunky 2 is so much harder, and Spelunky 1 is already hard enough for a newcomer.

I don't get why people rush to the next replica platform that will go down the exact same path of overstimulating you / mentally harming you.

Just delete Instagram.

Don't replace it.

Diabolical to recommend Spelunky 2 to someone who hasn't played Spelunky 1

it mostly ripps off rich idiots like Mel and Joe

Not at all. People who can barley afford their medications see these as cheaper alternatives and will often use these instead.

Would not recommend Crypt of the Necrodancer, considering barely anybody ever beats the game even by default, and then completing the full story is far too hard to not be frustrating

avoid these run ruining pickups because you happened to forget what THAT weird egg looking thing did with a different weird looking egg thing.

The stupid behavior of X item sucks is part of the fun of the game and why it's so great, though. You pretty much forget all those broken runs you got, but I'll never forget the times I found Plan C or used the Bible on Satan. I also think you're missing that repentance modernized all this and there's even fewer bad items than before. At this point there are only a handful of truly bad items.

Hades is great and holds your hand, but the fact that every upgrade is more-or-less the same type of skill addition to your build is also boring.

Sure, but still a false equivalence and a strawman at best. The few people who bought horse dewormer to get ivermectin doesn't discredit those who "smartly" bought the correct human dose for ivermectin.

When most conversation is asynchronous, it usually turns out:

[Ivermectin Mentioned]

"That's horse dewormer."

[Person internally: No it's not, it's a real drug. Scrolls past your conversation thinking 'this person doesn't know what they're talking about']

Both people then go away having learned nothing.

Oh yeah, definitely. I mean they definitely ran more than face detection software.

They probably got thousands of tips and chose to respond to the one randomly in Altoona based on other knowledge they had.

It's crazy to me that parallel construction is allowed.

It's not really the photos. For me, it's that it's really unusual for him to have had all the evidence on hand. Like the ID, gun, silencer, notes, and a motive on hand, just chilling in McDonalds. He also gave away probable cause to search him by presenting the ID which he should have known was fake. Considering he took concealing steps like using a ghost gun, ditching his backpack, and making a relatively clean getaway, it's pretty odd.

Still it's obviously possible that he wanted to be caught or was exhausted... or just dumb enough to not think of that.

It IS a big thing that the evidence hasn't been presented officially yet. There's a lot of media talk implying that he's the guy but trial by media is not a verdict
