I’ll never understand how being doxxed became a thing when 20 years ago people would regularly have access to books that held the name, phone number, and address of damn near every person in their area.

While people’s information (in the US) is considered public information, doxxing is the act to distribute a specific targets information maliciously with the intent to harass or cause harm to them… their information was public but someone gave it out with that intent to a large group of people who’d otherwise not bother going through the trouble of obtaining the information. Now they have it readily available, it’s and easy target for the victim.

I think the original Terminator movie did a good job illustrating how phone books could still be pretty unreliable

I blew a seal once when I was much younger. At least that’s what the mechanic said had happened!

I had that happen to me once, but I reassured them it was only ice cream on my face

Props to the author for quickly establishing this dude is the worse type of tourist to come to Hawaii sand deserves little benefit of doubt.
So his lawyer pinky promises he was horrifically beat up, but was just too noble to press charges? lol
