That's fair, I only really glossed over the study.

But still, have they actually collected data to support illiciting these emotions works as a "potential strategy to promote behavioral change"? In the study, I haven't found anything like a pre and post experiment survey showing a different attitude towards catcalling. In my mind that's required to demonstrate the VR experiment is such a strategy.

Fair enough, looks like we communicated past each other to some extent. I took your first comment as arguing this system was more subject to abuse.

I edited my comment to better reflect my original intent.

I mean, everything is subject to abuse. The relevant factor is the likelihood and difficulty of such abuse, isn't it? And I don't really see how using the stamped date as an authority reduces either or how not doing so increases either. The way you'd commit abuse changes, sure, but doesn't make abuse any easier/harder in my opinion, just different.

Bing/DDG have a lot of weird censorship.

"Shapedo" and "Sharkpedo" both work btw.

I wish they had tested all 8 scenarios: Male/female participant, male/female body, catcalled/not catcalled.

Because even as a man I don't feel comfortable being alone at a subway station at night. Nor can I imagine would I then enjoy being catcalled.

I wonder how much your VR body seen in a mirror affects this. My gut says not a lot but more data would've been great.

Now, if your own VR body does affect your reaction there must be bodies which maximize/minimize reactions. That'd be fun to test. You don't even have to limit yourself to human bodies, what if you're, say, a dinosaur (with body height still being the same)?

Got lucky!

I still don't see how stamping immediately could reduce the risk of abuse.

Anyone intent on doing so in a position of power can still do so. Maybe they have a stamp for a future date, maybe they "lose" certain mail, maybe they do not empty any of those election mail boxes the week before an election.

How would it be subject to abuse¹? Deliveries are somewhat predictable, by law 95% of letters must arrive within 3 days, 99% within 4 days. Mail-in ballots "should" be delivered within 2 days.

If it must arrive regardless of circumstances you can generally just send it via fax (except for mail-in ballots of course).

Though this has also lead to some issues. Because the 2025 election was a snap election there was significantly less time for mail-in ballots to be sent. This caused issues for many expats living outside Germany and as a result, at least a couple thousand votes from 200,000 registered expats were probably discarded.

Edit: ¹ any more than a system relying on the date on the postage stamp?

Shblivd 😭😭

Interesting that this is even relevant in the US.

Here in Germany the only relevant metric is whether a document has arrived at the recipient before any given deadline, from ballots to legal documents. It is considered your responsibility to ensure sending anything sufficiently early.

So the funishment for being sinful is vore?

Sämtliche großen soziale Medien haben bereits eine Klarnamenpflicht aufgrund der Handynummerpflicht.

Wie man an den Namen kommt?

1. Plattform auffordern zur Herausgabe der Account-Daten
2. Mobilfunkvertragsanbieter auffordern zur Herausgabe von Namen und Adresse des Handynummernbesitzer

Fertig. Wieso klappt das denn nicht?

They meant not you the natural person but you the legal person.

Which d though? The distributed or the denial?

More like a cat looking into your eyes before pushing a vase down.

Oh, I don't. Because of my aformentioned laziness.

If I were committed enough to use those symbols the increased effort from creating a sleeper network of alt accounts wouldn't be too significant.

Hell, I'm almost tempted to start doing it myself.

Not because I want to see those symbols returned but exclusively for annoying people.

Alas, I am too lazy.

To be fair, I think rivers and landscapes are equally flawed. Rivers are an extremely boring topic and landscapes tend to be inside a single country.

Birds are the best in my opinion.
