![]() They posted related keywords, along with the sentence “Protect Taylor Swift,” in an effort to drown out the explicit images and make them more difficult to find. While X said it was working to remove the images, fans of the pop superstar flooded the platform in protest. Swift, but the images were shared on other social media platforms and continued to spread despite those companies’ efforts to remove them. X suspended several accounts that posted the faked images of Ms. One image shared by a user on X was viewed 47 million times before the account was suspended on Thursday. Fake, sexually explicit images of Taylor Swift likely generated by artificial intelligence spread rapidly across social media platforms this week, disturbing fans who saw them and reigniting calls from lawmakers to protect women and crack down on the platforms and technology that spread such images. If you suspect child sexual abuse in your town, please call the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's tipline at 1 (800) 843-5678, or report activity here. I had something to say, and I'm saying it now.ĭue to the sensitive nature of her story, our subject has requested to remain anonymous, and we've removed identifying details from her account. It's the only things that moves me forward: You have to say something. Yeah, I always thought something was going on there, they'll say. Then why didn't you say anything?! my brain screams. When I've shared my story and named my abuser with people in my hometown, they nod. People's sixth senses about these things are often correct. ![]() I don't want to publicly ruin a person's life if I don't have clear evidence that they are abusive, but I do want to protect my child and any child I can. I don't always make accusations, but I've had many difficult private conversations. Don't leave your child alone with that man, I'll advise a fellow parent. Just trust me on this. Not teachers, not public figures, not celebrities like Jared Fogle or Josh Duggar. I will occasionally get a creepy sense about someone-a vibe or demeanor that is consistent with both my memories and my research. Given my past, I'm never surprised when I find out someone is a pedophile or a sex offender. ![]() My role as a parent is to protect, and sometimes the mama bear comes out. Now, I'm even more horrified by the concept of child abuse. What does he know about my past? Only that "mommy had a hard childhood," and that my job is to "keep kids safe." Maybe someday I'll tell him the full story. He came from a foster home, and in a way we may have saved him from abuse of his own. We adopted a son, who is now 10 years old. I came with a lot of baggage, but he saw me as I wanted to see myself. By the age of 30, I was able to open myself up to a social life-and even, eventually, a husband. I threw myself into my work as a research scientist and advocate to try to make the cycle stop. Not teachers, not public figures, not celebrities like Jared Fogle or Josh Duggar. ![]() It can feel exciting to them to keep this secret, to perpetuate it. Many sexual abusers were themselves abused it makes them feel powerful to turn around and do it to someone else, to inflict their childhood trauma on another child. Is anyone trustworthy? Is any town safe? Do all humans have the capacity for such depraved behavior? Instead of making me feel worse, studying these patterns helps me cope. It can be paralyzing to consider this kind of collusion. ![]() My abuser was well connected-it was the only way to keep hidden the fact that there was a warehouse in our town hosting sex parties for pedophiles. ![]()

![]() ![]() Inside the cabin, the carmaker ditched the comfortable seats and introduced a pair of high-bolstered bucket seats that provided much better side support. Pontiac offered the RamAir version in three body shapes: coupe, T-top, and convertible. A set of aerodynamically profiled door mirrors and a wing on the trunk enhanced the car's aggressive look. Last but not least, the headlights featured two lamps on each side instead of one as on the rest of the Firebirds. Its bumper was still V-shaped as in the 1997 model but incorporated a pair of wide fog lights placed closer to the car's center. Thus, it removed the exhaust vents and tracked more air into the air filter installed just under the nostrils-looking air-intakes. The main difference was that the carmaker installed a new hood with two bulges opened at the front. It competed against its sibling, the Camaro, and the Mustang, but its pop-up headlights were different, which attracted the customers who were teenagers in the '80s It was a sports car, but not as harsh or expensive as a Corvette. In 2000, the Pontiac was still riding the high tides, and its cars were selling well, especially the Firebird. Pontiac was eager to get a better engine for its TransAm Firebird, and it made the RamAir version, which looked wild, and then the carmaker made a convertible out of it. ![]() ![]() full description and technical specifications ![]() Under the hood, Pontiac installed a 3.8-liter V6 engine for those who didn't really care about performance, while those eager to hit the gas on a drag strip were granted a V8 powerplant. Yet, Pontiac still insisted on installing a bench in the back, which proved to be very useful for a sports bag or a backpack. But, just like the non-facelifted version, it didn't provide enough room for rear passengers. The Firebird featured high-bolstered bucket seats that supported the passengers during high-cornering maneuvers. A set of aerodynamically profiled door mirrors and a wing on the trunk completed the car's aggressive look. Another major improvement was the V-shaped bumper, which incorporated a pair of foglights mounted closer to the car's center, not on the outer sides. Moreover, it removed the exhaust vents, and that led to a better airflow into the engine compartment and especially to the air filter installed on top of the engine. Unlike the blue-oval contender, Pontiac bragged about its pop-up headlights, even though those were outdated for almost two decades.įor the last refresh, the carmaker installed a revised hood with two bulges that opened at the front with a pair of nostrils-looking air-intakes. Its main competitor from outside GM was the Mustang. It was considered a sports car, and while it lacked the same performances as a Corvette, it was lower priced than it. While it was still a competitive car on the market, it was overshadowed by its Camaro sibling. In 2000, Pontiac released the last sequel o its Firebird, and, even though it wasn't a new vehicle, it was an important refresh. ![]() ![]() Thank you for buying "PaintTool SAI Ver.1 Software License".

Make a good number of huts for your villagers to live in and chances are they’ll be happy. This also results in your happiness level increasing. If you’ve got more huts, that means more people heading to your village and becoming a part of your community. How can you increase your population in The Tribez? The answer here is to create as many huts as possible. Send them to their buildings to make them happy and earn more coins. In addition, pay close attention to what your workers want. These buildings – Trading Posts, Theaters, and Shaman Shops – need to be constructed and collected from, so be sure you’ve got all three if you’re looking to increase your funds in the game. There are a few buildings you’ll need to construct if you want to have more money in this game. Take note that one of your primary tasks would always have a quest included this means you have all the chances in the world to start new quests after the old ones are completed. If you complete a quest, that will not only earn you more experience points, but also more loot. You can view your quests on the left side of your display, and check on them to see what you can do at the moment. You can simply let tasks complete on their own, no need to use crystals to speed them up.Īlso, do not approve any offers to upgrade your warehouse or spend real money on crystals or coins – if you can level up without parting with your real-life cash (and you could), why spend that dough on in-game currency If you should use crystals, though, make sure you save them for important tasks. While the game will tell you that you should spend crystals, spending them is actually optional. ![]() ![]() ![]() Crystals are The Tribez’s premium currency, and you should not, in any way, shape, or form, spend those crystals in the tutorial stage. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() After that – voilà!

![]() ![]() ![]() Find out which one best suits your needs and comfort level.Īs we noted at the outset, there's also an ethical component to ad blockers. Others, like AdBlocker Ultimate, take a more aggressive approach. Some ad blockers, such as AdBlock Plus include filters and the ability to let in non-obtrusive advertising. Do you just want to stop annoying pop-up ads from appearing or do you want the full range of services, including privacy features and an end to ad-tracking? Grab the ad blocker that ticks off all the boxes on your wishlist. You can narrow down your choice in ad blockers by deciding specifically what you're looking to accomplish with such an app or extension. You should also figure out if a browser extension will take care of your ad-blocking needs or whether you should consider switching browsers to one with more built-in privacy features. Determine if the free services provide enough ad-blocking to meet your needs or whether a paid app delivers more for your money. Many of the best ad blockers are available for free, either as extensions or as standalone apps, though a few, like AdLock, charge a fee. The usual caveats apply: Browsing through Tor will slow down the web experience, and some features, like video streams and video files won’t work in order to preserve anonymity.ĭownload Onion Browser: iOS How to choose the best ad blocker for you Previously a premium app, Onion Browser has since moved to a donation model, opening up access to everyone who wants to download the app, without compromising security or features. We kept a lookout for how well ads were blocked, and whether using the ad blocker adversely impacted our viewing experience.IOS users aren’t left out when it comes to browsing the Tor anonymizer network, with the Onion Browser among the more popular options on Apple’s mobile OS. Then we went surfing through the internet, especially on mainstream media websites which are flooded with advertising. We ran through their settings to see how easy they were to customize and set up. To test for the best ad blockers, we downloaded and installed a number of extensions for different browsers, especially Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Online advertising can also track the latest trends, news headlines, and more, so you're a more savvy shopper or citizen. These ads can also help you better compare products, so you're always paying the best price - if that means visiting another site. ![]() Have you noticed how your favorite shopping store always seems to have what you're looking for on the home page or is running a sale on your favorite shorts? Again, you can thank online advertising. On the benefits side, online advertising, especially e-commerce sites, can remember who you are and adjust its pages accordingly. Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. My advice: take the time to look at the Adblock Plus instructions you might be surprised by what you discover. ![]() This confusion is primarily because of its design. Regardless, you can now manually remove these ads in a few steps.Ī minor point about Adblock Plus is its sometimes confusing way of presenting extra features that can also be beneficial. They are respectful, don't interfere with content, and are clearly labeled with the word "advertisement" or its equivalent." Of course, these words are highly subjective, which is probably one of the reasons decisions on what makes a committee now makes an acceptable ad. These are described as those that "aren't intrusive or annoying. In the process, it does a great job of not negatively affecting the look and feel of a website.ĭespite its pedigree, one criticism you'll hear most about Adblock Plus is its " acceptable ads" policy. After installation, Adblock Plus immediately gets to work and begins blocking and obstructing things you probably won't want to see. Its ease of use and price (free) have made it a winner for many years. If you're looking for an ad blocker that's been around for a while, you can't do much better than Adblock Plus. It's sometimes difficult to find "extras" ![]() ![]() ![]() The title is perfect for fans of the tabletop game who seek to have grand adventures within it. There are going to be two entries from the Dungeons & Dragons universe in our list, and the first is Neverwinter. You can choose to have a world all to yourself or share it with other players and see what comes of it. Make what you want to tame it and stake your claim to it. Once you get a handle on the title, start building up your world one piece at a time. It won’t be easy, but nothing worth doing is. Travel through the lands and see what you find. There are all sorts of biomes and creatures awaiting you inside, not to mention the other players. As a result, you’ll be dropped into a world that is expansive beyond measure. ![]() I always hate it when games like this never go into detail on the points you're making.The Creativerse is a sandbox title that wants you to see and build the world at your own pace. you can't drink water from a fresh water source ( the wells) UNLESS you have a cantin first. glass is non-exsistent in cars and buildings. the AK-47 uses the same type of ammo as a colt. using empty shotgun shells and a few nails will make loaded shells. using a handsaw on metal, you can make wiring. holding two peices of stone over a camp-fire will make metal. generators dont require fuel, and run forever. appearantly, random people owned Japaneze Samurai swords. useing a blow-torch, you can repair any damage done to a car. you have to refuel your car everyday because fuel depleates at an incredible rate. taking random medication doesn't have negative results. Messaggio originale di CaptainGunner99:you can just use any random blood bag without your body rejecting it. Since you made good points on the other games, what do you think about the ones I listed? ![]() What I was really asking is what would make this different from the DayZ mod, Apocalypse Rising on roblox, Survive the Nights, etc. Minecraft: It's main focus isn't zombies unless there is a mod under that focus.ħ Days To Die: This game seemed pretty good at first but the devs aren't really the bes. Rust: I saw some videos and played a bit and it doesn't seem too good in my opinion. Sorry that it took me a while to get back to you, but a lot of the games you listed aren't those open map pvp survival games, so I'll just respond to the ones that fall in that category. It's the worst game since Atari's ET.ĭude the game is what a 150mb download.Find out for yourself? When you die your items will disappear because of server refreshing and you even have a much longer timer to respawn in general. WarZ/Infestation Stories: Unturned isn't a forced pay to play and then a ridiculous pay to win scheme which only allows you to pay to lose as it's nearly impossible to find any items in the game. No More Room In Hell: Well this is really an exact copy of Killing Floor in my opinion, just bigger and or smaller maps.Ĭall of Duty: Nazi Zombies: It's not a body count game. Again with the less chance for necrophiliacs to develop "Heellloooo Nurse!" and we don't have giant terrifying killer hornets chasing after our souls. Killing Floor: We're not an arcadic body count and don't have chances for necrophilia or special zombies.ħ Days To Die: We can't dig tunnels, destroy buildings, make buildings, have more guns, abilities, crafting is shorter and easier. Minecraft: We don't have mods, full blown realism, we're not a final product or now owned by Microsoft. Is there anyone who can tell me what makes this different from everything else? Rust: Other then that we have zombies, easier crafting, less rape, less realism, we have cars and more items.? Messaggio originale di theUSguy425:I didn't like this game too much because it wasn't really unique in anyway that I noticed. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here's a video of the most recent beta: View: Visually, the more saturated colors and cel shaded 3D models attempting to replicate a 2D style do fit the PvZ vibe better than the previous version, but that's pretty much where the improvements end. It had its flaws, but at least it was trying something interesting with plenty of time to get even better.ĭespite being pretty good, I guess they didn't like how it was turning out so they went back to the drawing board, and after such a long time I was interested to check out what changes they made. It utilized a vertical view to suit the mobile format better and sped up the gameplay by making sun production automatic, focusing more on intelligent placement of your plants with an additional strategic focus as levels had a second phase where you could move your plants around and upgrade them with tacos to prepare for an even more brutal wave of zombies. I played the soft launch in 2020 and even though it was very different from the previous two games, I enjoyed it as its own new thing. Here's a video of the original alpha: View: It had a pre-alpha in 2019, soft launched in 2020, got scrapped so the devs could completely overhaul the game, came back in late 2021 with a new direction, and has since then had a couple of brief open betas in specific regions with the most recent being this month. Heck, most people probably don't know the game even exists. Zombies 3 has been in development hell for a ridiculously long time.
