Texting App/burner number

[Dogface78]

I bought a burner trac phone once with cash and activated it in an internet....I am not sure if you would call it a cafe. It seemed to be more arcade like, there were a bunch of younger kids teens through mid 20's playing games there on computers. I handed the kid $5.00 and he gave me a computer with internet access for an hour and I completely and as far as I could tell anonamously activated it. I had no intention of using it in the manner we are discussing here, I wanted to he completely anonymous. Disguised myself when buying it and registering it, and bought it another state!
It was dealing with a business dispute, and I wanted complete anonymity from the authorities that I would be contacting.
It went well!
But not for them that pissed me off of course!
And for me to jump through this many hoops, you know I was pissed!

Or you could calm down, stick with the known ladies for a couple months and remember this.

You are NOT their ideal target. You're just an ordinary monger.
You don't do "forbidden topics"
You prefer grown wimmen and as far as I know you avoid abandoned houses.

The arrested men so far seem to be interested in partying more than playing.

The ladies on the other hand should have ALWAYS thought about safety and discretion, first and foremost.
Not just when things get hot

I’m always calm. Just pointed out how difficult the hobby is nowadays. I’ve seen the changes over the years. It’s totally different now than say 10years ago when Indy’s was in its heyday. It was truly more of a “community” then. Not so much now. More like fear and loathing.

True

Not to go totally Gabs here, but I was watching the evening news tonight and the FBI was involved in 7 more busts recently. Concentrating on under age and human trafficking situations. And, they posted the Johns names. Looks like they’re really cracking down. Mainly social media and private sites. This was locally. I hate to say it, but I would stay away from the highly coveted young, hot spinner on any site.

I use sideline for my burner app.
Like $100 a year, I think

They then left government service before committing a line of code to the codebase that makes up the current TOR core. Finally, the government has a vested interest in using TOR. For an agent in a hostile country or for dissidents almost everywhere, it's insanely powerful. But it's open source. Can you point to the line of code which bothers you?

The government also created the integrated circuit, GPS, the internet itself, baby formula, and chose the very encryption algorithm around which the vast majority of what you encrypt, including your phone, is based (AES). Do you not trust your smartphone?

I mean this seriously: to people in the infosec business, the idea you should not trust something because the feds had a hand in it is right up there with folks who insinuate the moon landings were faked because the government did it.

No. I absolutely do not trust my smart phone.

I think different phones work better w certain apps. I know I've DL'ed apps and they've had decent reviews, worked well on my old phone, but worked like shit on my model of phone.
Just what I've noticed. As for all that other, TOR or Chinese that your all speaking, I dont know what that's about. Lol xoxo

For all the vague-whining from Eccie guys about the former Indys review system (I can think of a half dozen more "controversial" topics/events involving the historical Indys) I think the Indys vouch system was pretty ideal. If a hobbyist had, say, 3 "green" vouches then Indys providers could conclude he was "probably" not a cop or a psycho. A whole lot of "expediting" the whole hobby-experience for PGH hobbyists and providers. Usually a "vouched" hobbyist could set-up a session within just a few PM's. With no established "vouch" system in PGH, indeed, it's more Fear & Loathing as HST said...

You know what else HST said?? "When the going gets weird the weird turn pro....." And many hobby-people have "evolved" with the new post-FOSTA scene and some stay in their old patterns. I'm not referring to Bambino- he seems like a pretty "conscientious" and experienced and capable hobbyist. There is more to worry about for all "new" hobby people who don't really know how the scene works. Specifically there is no established "vouch" system in PGH anymore. And hardly any public "review" systems anymore....

And, yes, there is less sense of a "community" in PGH now than when ASPD and Indys-people were having GTG's and HH's all the time. After Indys started it's forums in 2005 there were usually six (6) or so solid GTG's a year, and various random HH's. Good opportunity to "put a face to a name" and check out the local scene in person. All that is gone now. Blame FOSTA, blame the Cleveland GTG bust years back. Either way there is less "socialization" person-to-person in the PGH scene now.....

Many PGH hobbyists "started doing their own thing" for the last few years of Indys, specifically with SA. Scores (scores) of Indys guys used to post on Indys "Just checking in here. Busy with SA now...." SA is a relevant market-factor in PGH now. Pro Ho's and Clueless Newbies and all types in-between. And again no "vouch" system and no public "review" systems to impose "accountability" on bad providers and also rank "slobbyists" who don't know what they are doing....

Indeed- what WOULD HST make of all this Weird Shit....?: clapping:

Apparently while there's still a public review system(s) apparently there are no longer advertising forums
This makes me wonder,
First, will this mean more forum participation from the ladies?
That would be a good thing as one can glean a good bit of a mental idea of a person through their posts by way of content and style.
Interesting to see how many ladies who say they will NOT be a part of the forum discussions change that.

Secondly, will this be another deathknell for some sites.

It will be interesting to see.
I mean, you gentlemen will be allowed to give out information that the ladies no longer can.
I have already noticed an increase in no review policies...

Things are truly changing and I think even SA will feel it.
