So, someone just sent me this DM, and I thought it would be fun to answer it here.

It's only a half-joke. Like you know how some people get all worked up around nice sports cars? Yeah, it's like that...but not sad.

Nice locks remind me of restraints, of being restrained, of working with my hands, of cold, smooth metal and lubricants, of skill and precision.

No two locks are identical. Some are quick fun, some take hours of learning their secrets before they'll open up. Did you know different locks sound different when they open for you? They feel different inside too.

Sliding tools into a new lock is something you can only do once, but you never know if that lock will be one you come back to again and again. I have locks in my collection that I've spent hundreds of hours picking over the years, and I still get excited when I hear them pop.

I'm sure I could write a short romance novel on this topic, but I think you get the drift.

A screenshot of a DM that reads: Okay, I'm sorry, but I'm too curious not to ask. Are you serious when you say you "have a thing for locks"? If so, what exactly is it about locks? I find this fascinating.

(I guess this #PSA should get boosted for awareness. If you have teens, make them read this post.)

"'Sextortion' cases on rise in UT and nationally"

I know how scary it can be to be accosted by those assholes. It happened to me, twice. It happened in dating apps. They don't even need to have a picture of your genitals. If you don't provide one to them, they'll just perform a collage of your face and some poor sods genitals and threaten to send this to your followers.

The thing is, I'm 51, and I have (almost) all my marbles. (I lost a few in my chemo. 😉) In the article below, they seem to go for the younger crowd. I expect them to panic more easily, seeing as they don't have as much experience in life as I do. I'm going to tell you what my experience has been, so that you can benefit from it.

In my experience, if you just say "no" to those asshats, nothing will happen. They'll immediately move on to their next victim. If you think about it, executing their threat is an additional loss to them.

It takes time to send a message to your followers. Depending on the platform they threaten to use, it may not be possible. (For instance, they might need to friend your followers first.) Sending the message exposes them to being discovered, and being sued for revenge porn.

If they put their threats to execution, it is also highly unlikely that you'll come back and give them what they want. What would be in it for you? The cat is already out of the bag.

Conclusion: going forth with their threat is a net loss for them. They instead just move on to the next victim.

So you should just not send them anything. I've always held that paying them would moreover mark you as a "cash cow." They would probably come back at you again and again asking for more money. I have no proof of this, but the article below says:

"Cox said trying to make payments doesn't solve the problem - and can exacerbate it."

Paying can exacerbate your predicament. Don't mark yourself.

Don't pay.

Now. I don't usually do this, but **if** you have the money and found the above useful, a donation to my ko-fi would be useful to me:

A monthly subscription would be even better, but I know I'm dreaming. :derpface:

I'm watching a show in which the mother advises her daughter not to ask a guy out because men don't like it if a girl is too forward. In our year of the plague 2023.

<ahem>

Women (who date men): Were you ever given this advice? Did you listen? How in your experience does it hold up?

Men (who date women): Have you ever been asked out by a woman? How did you react? Are you turned off if a "girl is to forward"?

I *keenly* await your replies.
