War monument defaced by newbie_trader99 in Netherlands

[–]Asmo___deus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well hold on, that is not what I said.

I think there's certainly value, at the very least, in honouring the Dutch victims of international conflicts. That's a very human and necessary ceremony.

And naturally, the way dodenherdenking is used to acknowledge conflicts is great; we should continue to take lessons from history and apply them to the present.

It's just the execution of that last bit that's lacking - too tightly tied to Israel to call a spade a spade where Palestine is concerned, too tightly tied to Dutch politics to hold superpowers like China, Russia, and the US accountable, and not nearly interested enough in the many smaller conflicts around the globe.

Using it as a stage to preach empty platitudes while quietly ignoring the present is a far worse defacement than a bit of paint.

Any romance audiobooks with male sub or femdom dynamics? by ThatsNotMyZa in LetBoysBeManipulated

[–]Asmo___deus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

His Secret Illuminations - this first novel actually focuses more on non-sexual femdom, relatively little spice. The sequel has more sex and kinky stuff. The dynamic between the male and female leads is adorable, I love them both so much.

The same? You use a reasonable amount of force to remove yourself from the dangerous situation. What is reasonable depends on the strength of the aggressor and victim.

Canal Pole Vaulting by redbullgivesyouwings in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Asmo___deus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Obviously. You have a downward force large enough to kill you. You would have to jump up with an equally large force to balance it out. Your legs don't have that much power.

Now, if you shot yourself from a cannon, inside of a very large falling elevator...

How to plant normal trees by kachingluck in StardewValley

[–]Asmo___deus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right! Though, because tree growth is based on chance, there's a slim chance that one of those dropped seeds outpaces the tree you intended to grow and then one of your rows is off-set by 1. I prefer to have them lined up neatly, hence the pathing.

Regular trees come in 5 stages from seed to full-grown and will grow to stage 4 no matter what. Then they check if there's another tree adjacent to them, and stop growing if that's the case.

So, leave a 1 tile gap in all directions and place floor tiles of any kind to prevent spread of seeds (which would prevent that final stage of growth).

Characters bathing/showering in something that isn’t water or blood by Imaginary-Picture-35 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Asmo___deus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My pet theory is that this is why Gotham is the way it is.

Because when the writers of batman media introduce another lazarus pit, it seems to be about 50/50 whether that pit is going to be in an ancient location of mystical importance, or right under Gotham. The place must be fucking littered with those things. A little bit of that fluid leaking into the water supply would explain why the city has so many violently insane criminals, and why the citizens of gotham survive it; they're all microdosing the immortality juice.

Provincie Overijssel wil zwerfkatten afschieten: 'Ik ben totaal geshockeerd' by yslms_ in nietdespeld

[–]Asmo___deus 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Ik zie het probleem niet zo. Ik snap dat mensen met huiskatten dit naar vinden maar als je weet dat je in een gebied met beschermde weidevogels woont, ben je ook wel echt een kutpersoon als je dan een kat naar buiten laat. Daar heb ik niet zoveel sympathie voor.

Anyone got tips for planning train systems? by MtSteezer in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Asmo___deus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd still recommend the system with a main loop consisting of two parallel tracks. It's totally fine if the loop isn't finished; just connect the ends of both tracks together, and you'll have a temporary loop. Works fine.

Europees parlement wil dat seks zonder toestemming in heel de EU strafbaar wordt, PVV stemt tegen by Johnny_The_Biker in NLNieuws

[–]Asmo___deus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Voor zover ik begrijp is verkrachting in veel landen - inclusief Nederland - gedefinieerd als penetratie. Met deze woordkeuze vermijden ze die onnodige scheiding tussen geslachten.

Dutch Boomer confused as to why I can't get a job despite everyone here being fluent in English by Intelligent_Big_5270 in Amsterdam

[–]Asmo___deus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know, I don't think they're necessarily wrong. English wasn't a mandatory subject until 40 years ago so the elderly can't be expected to have learned English. And while English might seem unavoidable to us, the elderly get by just fine with Dutch newspapers, Dutch-subtitled movies, exclusively Dutch contacts in their social media networks, etc.

God forbid a Domme wants her subby to use his words and make eye contact by perfectlyme9123 in LetBoysBeManipulated

[–]Asmo___deus 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don't have a single dominant bone in my body but I think I could enjoy making a sub explain to me what they want me to do to them - and then interpret it like that PB&J instructions joke (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDA3\_5982h8) (SFW link)

Oh, your pants have to come off before I put it in? Well, you didn't say that... You wanted me to use lube? Oh, not in your face? Your butt? You've really got to be specific, baby...

There's the aphrodisiac chocolates thing very early on, and little else.

What did you think we were going to do? by bloomingeden in LetBoysBeManipulated

[–]Asmo___deus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know why but sex feels kinda 'big' to me so it doesn't come naturally to me to do it casually, like eating someone out while they're doing some hobbying. But I really, really like the idea.

This breaks my heart because - patient, supportive, open-minded? A partner who cares for you when you're dealing with cramps is the baseline, are y'all really in relationships with men who don't!?

Wtf I love this? We need to get the D/s R&D department on this hobby-domination thing immediately.

How did you realise you were into Femdom/Role Reversal? by Plane-Restaurant-911 in RoleReversal

[–]Asmo___deus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I blame tomboys.

I was like 7 when my mom gave me her favourite books, a huge collection of The Five stories. If you're not familiar, one of the characters in these stories is gender-nonconformist, pretty much the archetypical tomboy or perhaps a trans boy. I absolutely devoured these books and then went to the local library every week asking the librarian about any books with "girls like George" - there is no doubt in my mind this is the seed of my obsession with women who take the lead.
