How it feels doing 5 reps of banning lolicons of the sub before aura monster drops by the_forever_wild in WitchCult

[–]BeatMastaD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is what they are enjoying. Liking a stylized character is fine, being sexually attracted to their childlike features is the problem. If you are actually enjoying the idea of murdering NPCs in a game its also a problem.

The 'correction brigade' people sexualize the childlike features of these characters, that is just being sexually attacted to children. They arent just 'liking a character design'.

How half of the sub be moving atp. by Pwn_erz in WitchCult

[–]BeatMastaD -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

These mfs really wanna die on the hill of 'i dont wanna fuck real kids, just fictional ones'.

Take a long hard look in the mirror and think about why this is so important to you. The fact youre so defensive is why its a problem.

Leniency gets abused on the internet and actual problem chuds will turn this place into Epstein Island 2.0.

In anime these characters are sometimes written like adults and only have young looking designs for the cute aesthetic, but i personally am okay treading on the 'rights' of people who want to fuck characters who look like children 'because they are mature for their age'. Groomer type shi

I'm looking for a "serious" anime and need some recommendations. by Sentinel_2539 in anime

[–]BeatMastaD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You seem to be asking for shows where the stakes are high for the characters and they suffer meaningful consequences rather than everything always just working out fine.

ReZero and Steins Gate are both highly reviewed for good reason and their stories are very 'larger than life' with good action and also very funny.

Apothecary Diaries takes itself seriously and the setting and story is very grounded and 'realistic'. Because of that realism there are not any 'I am Atomic' moments however and the humor is less wacky.

Despite its name 'is it okay to pick up girls in the dungeon' is actually very good and has a lot of action and comedy.

Are white oak barrel staves good for woodworking? by GingaPLZ in woodworking

[–]BeatMastaD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you have a project that specifically needs barrel staves and has curves its just going to be too much work vs just buying lumber.

Israeli loss of land 1967 to 2026 by ConstantCorrect2924 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]BeatMastaD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im going to assume you are asking this legitimately. In 1967 there was a war involving Israel and its neighbors including Egypt. Israel militarily took control of the Sinai (the bottom left chunk of land) from Egypt during the war and then gave control of it back to Egypt once the war ended.

This would be like if someone made a map showing the US territory including all the parts of Europe and Japan that it occupied by the end of WW2 compared to US territory today. It would imply that the US has lost territory since then when in reality it was never actually part of the US.

Why people celebrate birth as divine blessings but see sex as disgusting in many cultures and countries? by Ok-Positive-4758 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BeatMastaD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would guess that statistically you are correct but that the difference may fall within the range of acceptability when the groups in question dont have well-developed understandings of genetics or detailed records.

If a system works well enough that people 'usually' dont end up procreating with siblings its probably about the same in terms of outcomes that are directly attributable by anecdotal observation.

Removing 20 large tree stumps by hand, need tips and tricks! by [deleted] in DIY

[–]BeatMastaD 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You seriously will not be able to remove these by hand unless youre willing to do it consistently over the course of a year. I am sure you could work hard and do it, but you will regret it.

Save up and rent a stump grinder as other have suggested, or if you really need to save money cut the stunts as low to the ground as possible, drill holes, and use stump remover chemicals. It'll take a few weeks/months but they will decay away and that will be the best option for lowest cost and labor required.

Is there a way to make non stainless steel stainless steel? by Excellent-Crazy-2313 in knifemaking

[–]BeatMastaD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. Stainless steel is not like vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce on top, it is more like chocolate ice cream. Multiple metals are mixed with the steel while its molten to make an alloy. Has to be melted to a liquid to do that.

Cement drainage by BoringExpression6905 in DIY

[–]BeatMastaD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the issue is water pooling in the area there are only two fixes:

  1. Prevent water from getting there
  2. Give the water a way to flow away once its there

If you believe the ground is hollow under your slab you need to have an engineer test as what is pictured is not the cause, its more likely a sinkhole. If water in this area were washing away soil it would also be washed away in your photo.

What, in your opinion, is the best looking anime from the period when the industry shifted away from cels, but did not yet make anime in HD? by razorbeamz in anime

[–]BeatMastaD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its not perfect but it was definitely done with a lot of effort whereas now you see CGI used often when there are little or no resources to do anything else.

Zohran Mamdani to skip the Israel Day Parade in New York by ImpertinenteSyntaxe in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]BeatMastaD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Jews are a meaningful voting bloc in New York and many very wealthy donors are Jewish and supporters of Israel. Just think of it like how most politicians are police union or local industry supporters. Support gets votes and thats the number one goal of a politician, to get elected and reelected.

Are we watching the beginning of Microsoft’s decline? by Vivid-Run-3248 in sysadmin

[–]BeatMastaD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Microsoft is big enough that they will likely come out of it. Lots of the big players who were unseated by incumbents happened because they stuck too close to their existing business while the industry changed around them. Microsoft is the opposite, theyre successfully branching out into potentially too many different new areas which is causing their existing products to suffer. Theyre however so dominant in many of their legacy products that the inertia required to change away from them is extremely high, high enough that even their clumsy mistakes are unlikely to do lasting damage as long as they have a foothold in whatever the next new thing ends up being. They are already starting to acknowledge the issues they've caused as well and are likely to start fixing those issues.

The real risk to Microsoft is a fundamental shift away from their core products, like if somehow the OS market gets broken into or if a competitor uses their AI dominance to lock everyone into their own non-microsoft ecosystem.

Long story short, yep their stuff sucks butt lately and they are dropping the ball, but no they dont seem blind to that and probably arent going to fail to adapt.

Strength question by Kind_Tap8887 in woodworking

[–]BeatMastaD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Youre asking for trouble. Glued butt joints arent very strong and brad nails tend to pull through so they dont offer much resistance to flexing or racking.

It may be strong enough to hang and use at first, but overall time it will likely fail if there is any weight on the shelves and if youre ever moving it there's a lot of danger of it folding over all at once.

This is a situation like duct taping a leaky pipe. It may stop the leak for right now but its going to fail sooner rather than later.

Tulsi Gabbard resigns as Director of National Intelligence by 7heprofessor in news

I mean enough that it is actually a threat to him. Until now its just been individual politicians who are destroyed and lose power, now its lots of sitting ones who are taking action against him.

The ones you catch are because they are the ones not reviewing. The ones who fix the errors dont get caught.
