Dumb thing

It might be my firewall. I need to kill the server side one it's crappy.

Thanks for the report, I'm going to fix that site today and over the weekend. I've got my host on the line about Jetpack.

@Men Are Human host the site yourself at home?

No, it's a big hosting company.

If I hosted it at home we likely wouldn't have this issue

Just ones like me randomly unplugging it to hoover. XD

That and bandwidth, maybe.

The Growing Issue Of Male-centric Abuse and Denial Of Service by the Samaritans In the UK. - https://redd.it/ajed2s
TL;DR I'm again being made aware of the Growing Toxicity of The Samaritans UK towards men and the massive shift in attitudes, conduct and negation of male callers unless they fall into a narrow Gynocentric path and Pronounce their Feelz upon...

This upsets me. The Samaritans were a really good non-biased charity.

That's sad. I went through the training but didn't quite make the grade. The main issue is if you don't want to talk, the Samaritans really can't help. They aren't an advice line.

I don't know how you'd change that.

MRAdvice line would be nice

Sure would. What insurance implications would it create though? Is there a responsibility to the caller's?

I think that's the stance Samaritans take

I have no idea, im not American. I always thought charities and the like of advice line had some kind of waiver or something, provided they aren't giving bad advice

In talking about in the UK

Sorry, what kind of insurance do you mean?

I thought you meant that the person taking the call would have to forward mental information to health providers and insurance...

X_X

Do you mean liability insurance?

>.<;;;

Welp, I gotta go, can't wait longer for a reply rn sorry

@InsaneCaterpilla yeah liability

Sorry. Was cooking

Is that something that even needs to be worried about?

I would think so. Suits for negligence can be an issue even when utilizing more experienced individuals.

Does anyone else have personal stories of a mother poisoning the kids against a father?

Oh, I do

I had a collage tutor friend for a while who was beaten by his wife with a hoover pipe.

He was never spesific about what she said, but she turned his kids against him and made them hate him.

He was a really hard working great guy.

And when I say 'beaten' I mean 'in front of the police, who did nothing - and then asked if he wanted to press charges'.

He said no, of course. Because men do.

I thought domestic violence laws meant that charges had to be pressed regardless of the victims wishes

This was the UK, so I don't know. Police sometimes don't know the specifics of laws, or forget, but even more often they try to get men to drop charges in order to not have to arest a woman.

(Based on statistics and the stories told by people across reddit)

It's probably true that they try to get men to drop charges in general, they apparently even take a minors word on whether or not to press charges

I did not know that. They shouldn't

It should be automatic for anyone under sixteen or so
