That teen needs to drop the mom in an old-age home

I don’t understand how these kids get caught. They gotta be really slow or something.

I was caught 0 times as a teenager. My mom never found my porn.

My brother was caught a few times. My cousin was caught in the damn car on a family vacation with OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CAR just yanking his noodle under a blanket.

I was so cautious as a kid. I guess because I was caught and thoroughly shamed when I was about 4 years old. Maybe that’s why I never got caught when I was old enough for it to matter. That shame gave me a lifelong lesson.

I had a motion detecting toy dinosaur at the bottom of the stairs. When someone approached the stairs it would go, “raaaaaawr, raaaaaawr” and I’d be sitting at the foot of the bed reading a book by the time someone got upstairs.

If they suspected anything, didn’t matter. I was reading.

When I got high speed internet (as it was called in those days) I threw out the tapes and magazines. I had a separate hard drive I’d plug into my computer juuuuuust in case, and since I was always messing with and tearing into my computer, my mom never found anything. That drive had Linux, my mom was scared of Linux.

Now that I think about it, holy shit they fucked me up haha.

When they caught me as a little guy my mom said, “oh shamy, shamy.” And my dad said, “you keep messing with that thing and it’ll fall off and you’ll turn into a girl.” They spent the whole day giving me that, “oh you shameful creature” look.

Haha, man. Wow.

Yeah, maybe my people just messed me up.

A lot of people don't feel shame...

A 30 year old friend of mine didn't know about incognito mode. A certain subreddit popped up, on his projector screen, as a recommendation when we were searching for a sports stream to watch. I don't think anyone else noticed or would really know what the sub was, but I later casually mentioned this really cool browser feature to use in case you need to search something weird.

I learned one shouldn't assume that everyone is familiar with all the digital tricks to hide what they'd prefer others not see.

"you keep messing with that thing and it'll fall off and you'll turn into a girl"

On one hand, fucking horrible thing to say on a child

On the other.. probably would not have the effect they would intend on a certin chunk of the population lmao

You had enough motivation and technical knowledge, that's why. Most people don't even bother having separate storage with dual booting.

Did you place the toy downstairs before wanking or was it always there?

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

It was always there. ;)

Wouldn't he have to put in a fake birth date if it asked him to verify his age?

Yeah, I can imagine having a mother like that would make it so that you can't enjoy life, damn.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 65 points 9 hours ago (17 children)

His first name starts with a Q?! That poor kid, imagine getting your porn preference blasted into the news by your mom and then you also have a Q in your name. Mom should be sued for child abuse

[–] Fontasia@feddit.nl 11 points 3 hours ago

Mum wanted to make it everyone else's problem that she can't have a frank discussion about sex with her own son so probably been making poor judgements all the way through

[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 18 points 5 hours ago

I hope those aren't his real initials because it seems like there's more than enough information to identify him between the article and complaint filing. Poor kid doesn't deserve to be dragged into this.
