Article on Dating Warning Signs

Hi (the former) Mrs. digs!

#5. Street signs.

Rule 34 strikes again.

Any woman (or man for that matter) who wants to regulate where I go on the internet on my own time is a control freak I’m better off without in my opinion. I’m not a child.

Actually for quite few people on this board, there was no Internet when they were 12. And I’m not entirely sure how I’d clear the history on my computer; I’ve never bothered, so I’ve never looked it up. There’s a clear history menu button somewhere I think…

ccleaner will fix the history problem

my imagination, upon discovering ccleaner or other such third-party software, would be worse than happening across your weird browsing habits.

Yep, I realize the everybody isn’t the same age or enjoying the same lawn. But “the internet” has been older than most people think, even if it was all ASCII porn. I remember as a early 30 something having to print my ultra-softcore but good enough porn, because the printer did more colors than the monitor. I also remember learning how to crash the parent’s monitoring software. The point: hide your tracks, it’s easy, even if your parents think that it’s weird that it clears every day.

A part of me just died reading that linked article.

When will people learn? Stop means stop.

It couldn’t possibly be.

Now THAT is comedy!

I dunnabout “regulate”, but once they tracked through your browser history and found out you believed you should be able to secretly record your sexual encounters to prove it wasn’t rape I suspect they’d be out of there in a New York second. :dubious:

haha I totally forgot about that article; thanks MEBuckner!

Ddamn! Cracked.com may now qualify as a scholarly reference site! Who would have ever thought that Sylvester P. Smythe would go so far in life?

Maybe they should. When I was a kid, a family with a deaf kid moved into the area onto a main street. They got the city to put up a Caution Deaf Child sign. It has been hanging since before Nixon resigned.

You mean, when I used that as a counterexample to women who think it’s OK to treat every man alive as a rapist. And then people like you decided as is the norm to shout me down since we aren’t supposed to point out that demonizing men is neither ethical nor reasonable.

Most people who shouted you down on that one were and are nothing like me, and I’m not shouting you down, merely pointing out what your chances of a relationship would be like with any woman who found out what you’d posted on the subject.

I’m not familiar with the thread in question but if Der Trihs’ characterisation of what occurred is correct it sounds like he was posing a hypothetical in counter to positions he didn’t agree with expressed by others.

Personally I wouldn’t want an SO who took every hypothetical I posed in debate as being an expression of what my actions were likely to actually be in real life. I’d hope they’d be waaaay smarter and/or less strategically obtuse than that.

Er… what :confused:? CCleaner is perfectly good software. I use it to fix and backup my registry and free up disk space by clearing caches and such with it (though I rarely if ever clear browser history or cookies). A lot of that stuff I could do on my own, but CCleaner speeds things up immensely. Pretty much every tech support and computer repair person I know recommends it.

As for unscrupulous, questionable, or benevolently secretive (i.e. gift shopping) internet surfing? That’s what Google Chrome’s incognito mode is for.

Yeah Honey. I was “gift shopping” thats why I always clear out the cache. Gift shopping…yeah thats the ticket.
