It's not about the company being responsible. I'm more referring to the hosts of the session being able to pursue legal action, or press charges. In the eyes of the court, would you be accessing (one of the ways to run afoul of that texas law) the hosts' "computer systems" running the zoom software, or are you accessing Zoom's computer systems? Is Zoom able to be run on your local server, or is everything processed on their end?

In either case, could they say that you were accessing those computer systems without the owner's consent (one of the conditions for the crime I quoted)? The failure to set a password, giving out the password publicly, and maybe your option #5 might ways that a lawyer could construed as them giving 'everyone' permission to come, and thus void the crime... but we're also talking about texas, and the law down there is as flippant as it is in the extreme court.

I want to give people things to think about before they did this, considering that the minimum level of crime they'll be looking at carries up to 180 days in jail. Definitely use a burner phone, VPN, and every other way to cover your tracks.

Which is hit or miss. I've been in those CE courses and seminars, and they range from informative and exciting to literal time-wasting. An example: What doctor needs to care about log-rolling patients and backboarding them? That's something a firefighter or EMT does.

Would they be able to do anything, legally? Like file harassment if enough people did this, or whatever computer hackery legality they could twist to fit? The stuff from here: https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PE/htm/PE.33.htm#33.02 is pretty vague in regards to the definitions given in https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PE/htm/PE.33.htm#33.01

Could you say you had 'permission' from Zoom to use their 'computer systems' by virtue of the systems literally being set up to be accessed?

That's definitely the business model of the 'better business bureau' as well.

I think the article said it was only found out because police happened across the files during an investigation of something else (namely, the husband trying to take upskirt photos of women in public).

Or for the entire month. It saves money... :'(

Or that fungus that makes the snails look like they've simultaneously become interested in the rave scene and inflation.

I have no doubt that the USA has fingers in the pie of public sentiments elsewhere.

Russia has learned the power of Japan.

Is it any surprise that a shitty, failed business owner doesn't understand the difference between a resume and a background check with listed employment? Every half brain dead applicant can quickly search resume advice and figure out they should tailor their resume to the job they're applying for. The smart ones actually tailor what they say they did at each job in addition to just showcasing jobs.

Depending on where you are, local clubs probably abound. Anything outdoors is going to be a good start, because they have a vested interest in you coming back to the club to keep it going. All clubs will, but outdoors ones will not want to add any difficulties that might drive off the next generation in their club.

Hiking, running, rowing, biking, skydiving*, geocaching, gardening, birdwatching, fishing (rare, but they're there!), sailing* (used windsurfers and small sailboats can be less than $1k; not great, but an option), motorcycles*, monowheels, fixer cars, mountain biking, sports (ultimate frisbee, pickleball, soccer, outdoor volleyball, basketball, baseball; all will probably have young adults in organized ways), dancing [don't discount this one! Especially if you can find a swing club nearby, you will have tons of fun], mud runs, rock climbing*, bodybuilding...

Man, I can't even think of all the clubs/hobbies I've briefly talked to people about. You can definitely find something out there that you'll enjoy, but you may have to try a loooot. Don't give up hope.

*these are probably a bigger investment or money sink than the others, either requiring gear, a significant training period, or ongoing costs for travel/maintenance

There's a line in the story about her suffering through this for 10 years. It's horrific to consider.

2011 through 2020... That is both frightening in its length and disturbing that he was able to get (invite) that many men to do this and it was never discovered.

Try vesktop. Maybe that will help.

Which is great for wearing your boyfriend's hoodies, but is slightly more problematic when dealing with geopolitical scales and, you know, countries giving you weapons that you absolutely need to not be steamrolled by an invading force.

Is that the crap that has the Ice pop flavor? The people I know at a local sports group drink it like it's liquefied candy at halloween. These folks range from middle-aged to retirees. The effects of its advertising in my parents' age group are apparent and it is just as insidious as in the young children.

Your body's immune system may be pretty good, but fungal infections are some of the most difficult to fight. For example, if you get fungal meningitis, it's a massive headache to deal with.

I have a friend who does that. He insists that ice cream is worth it if we're out gallivanting. The rest of the car does not agree.

It does sort of amaze me that we didn't have a military coup happen because he ordered a nuclear strike on a hurricane or a random country that he got too upset at.

Don't blueball me like that.
