Socks?! Damn! Am I the only person in the world who knows what all those free-for-the-taking napkins at fast-food joints are *really * for?
In Slutsylvania we call that “tuesday”
I don’t want to see what he looks at. What’s so confusing about that?
Slutsylvania is spreading!
On second thought… eww!
My SO and I share porn regularly. Our home office machines are near to one another, and it is not uncommon to hear “Hey, look at this.” and, “Ooh, IM that to me.” If we were to compare, I’m not sure who’s stash would be bigger, mine or his. As far as I know, it’s perfectly normal to have a big ol’ folder called “porn”, so I don’t think the OP said anything out of line.
I know someone who told his wife that a virus must have put the 30+ GB of porn on their home computer. She bought it, at least he says she did.
There’s clearly something wrong with porn when it’s “normal” to look at women with breast implants, but “weird” to look at women who are naturally large-breasted.
Rookie mistake. Do you really want anyone who looks at your desktop to know you have porn? My folder is a whole click away from the desktop, and it’s called Not Porn.
Like men?
You know, there are plenty of people who are computer-ignorant enough to buy that, especially with all the scare stories and general concern about internet viruses, worms, trojans, and other malware.
If i put 30gig of porn on my mother’s computer, and told her that it had gotten there because the computer was infected with a virus, she would believe me without question. She only even has a computer so we can exchange email; i don’t think she turns it on at any other time, and i’m not sure she could even tell you the difference between 30Gb and 30Kb.
Of course, this sort of unfamiliarity will decline as time goes on and more and more people grow up with computers, but will never go away altogether. I’m amazed at how many people who use computers every day are still silly enough to open attachments in strange emails or click on links in spam emails.
Here is an article about a worm that has been infecting users on the Skype network. Now, Skype is a VOIP phone service software, and i’m willing to bet that people who run it are probably of at least average, and maybe above average computer savvy. Yet this worm is still infecting people, despite the fact that you have to do the following to get infected:
-
Open a chat message sent by someone you’ve never heard of.
-
Click on a link sent by that person.
-
Watch as the link opens a dialog box asking for permission to run a file.
-
Click “OK” on the dialog box to accept and run a file sent by someone you’ve never heard of.
It boggles the mind that anyone would do all of this, but people do.
Look I take my diplomatic responsibilities seriously. I call them like I see them.
PoorYorick, from what I gather, it would be the other way around.
(30 gigs, though? Yeesh, that’d be my entire hard drive!)*
Yeah-aren’t porn sites usually one of the main ways of getting viruses/spyware? That would be MY main concern.
Other than that, I don’t give a shit. I belong to a Live Journal community called bad_porn_2. It’s hysterical, what some people get off to.
*Ehehehe…I said “hard drive”
As far as I’m concerned, as long as the porn doesn’t involve children, animals, rape, blood, or bodily waste - who cares?
The amount of porn doesn’t matter, its the amount of time the guy spends looking at it that can become a problem.
I’d be surprised a guy didn’t have some kind of pr0n. Am not married but the gf knows that I have pr0n on my computer. If she knew what and the size of it she would probably be pissed. Lucky for me she knows crap about computers so I set up a gimped guest account without access to the folder. Besides, how big we talking here if it’s all digital? 30 gigs would be in the upper realm, but I’ve heard of more. Amongst my friends 2-8 gigs is the norm.
I’m just glad my wife bought it when I told her that the size of today’s applications warranted a 2 petabyte RAID array on the ol’ home system.
That’s resonable. I know my application’s pretty damned big.
Hmm. You make a good point. I’m going to rename the file right now.
I’ll tell you what’s over the line…my coworker suggested I take a look at his favorite porn sites. :eek:
That would raise an eyebrow from me too. This morning I spoke with the guy again, this time he was in his office, I chidded him on his internet sav and he kidded back. He said it was no big deal and he was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Not sure what thread, on what site I read this but it’s been cracking me up ever since:
“Did you hear they are taking all the porn off the internet?”
“What? No WAY!”
“Yeah, there will be one website left, www.bringbackporn.com”
I’ve joked for years that bad jokes and porn are what made the internet. Your friend is just keepin’ the hamsters running. Um,…uh…don’t call PETA.
The guy is an idiot. What he should have done was spend a little cash on a 2 gigabyte flash drive, then designate almost all of it the “privacy zone” with a password only he would know. Then, even if he’s dumb enough to leave the flash drive in the computer, it’s password protected.
Er … that’s how I hide my complete collection of Shakespeare’s sonnets from my wife.
