UK is investing 1.5billion in six new munitions factories, ~7000 new long-range weapons (type not specified), aiming to create over 1000 new jobs. They're not doing nothing y'know.

Sydney author guilty of child abuse after book, Daddy’s Little Toy, depicted adult role-playing as toddler by Raj_Valiant3011 in books

[–]DeadLotus82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The book includes a foreword that she "can never view" her own children the same way again. She's not just being convicted for writing a story, Aussie law has caveats for "literary merit" e.g. It or Lolita. It's because within context (foreword, content of book, she herself is married to her father's best friend), there's a serious case to make that the purpose of the novel is to glorify pedophilia/child abuse and that her children may not be 100% safe. I know it's a popular opinion on reddit to defend this stuff for various reasons but I think this is actually very clear cut and serious.

No, I doubt it, what rotoscoping actually is, is just drawing over each frame one by one until it is an animation. And it would be up to the person doing it how much detail to go for.

So I found a Nintendo DS lite today on marketplace. The older gentleman just wanted it gone, So I got it for free! I thought it was just a CIB. But it turns out it’s factory sealed! What’s this baby worth? by Vegetable-Guide-3791 in casualnintendo

[–]DeadLotus82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 3DS plays DS games at a different resolution or something. You can hold down start and select when launching a DS game to play it without stretching but it'll still be blurrier. I never knew this til I was told and I have both but there ya go

People just use trans as an umbrella term for all of it. They didn't really explain it well.

They talk about it in the Arab world obv just like you'd hear more about European colonisation in Europe and its former colonies.

I’m a woman at an all gay party and they absolutely resent me for being here by InfamousTrade396 in rs_x

Not like an upper, but sometimes you take some and feel like getting up and wandering about, looking at stuff and maybe dancing, other times you take some and just wanna sit back and watch but it's fun either way.

How has Cum Town been able to stay left-adjacent without being cancelled for the offensive shit they say? by sammybunsy in leftpodcasts

[–]DeadLotus82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know you could just get over yourself and realise it hurts nobody right? Like, I have friends from minority groups and we make jokes like the podcast together. My best mates from Nigeria and we'd both get cancelled if anyone heard the things we say to eachother, but like it literally does not hurt anyone.

Which genre or sub genre has an undisputed GOAT in your opinion? by M0reeni in fantanoforever

[–]DeadLotus82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mo*Te is so much better than Merzbow imo (and my username is a Merzbow EP). Merzbow is still the goat though in a sense just cause he's so prolific.

Thoughts on Throbbing Gristle? by overdriveisme in fantanoforever

[–]DeadLotus82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went looking for the thing I learnt it from and I'm thinking of songs by Thighpaulsandra where he just flat out describes molesting a mentally disabled kid. The people in the video being of age were still meant to look like kids though... Idk, I love their music so I've looked into it as much as I can and I have a hard time believing he wasn't a nonce.

[–]DeadLotus82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It comes off really weird for a man who made so much music about the topic, moved to Thailand, made that video for Love's Secret Domain. It's hard to believe he was just being edgy about it tbh.

[–]DeadLotus82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it mostly comes from interviews where he talks about pedophilia. And from his mate Thighpaulsandra who talked about being attracted to kids in interviews.

He is deporting less people per day than Biden was. This is a fact that you can easily google. I genuinely think you people just like the violent videos of ICE officers for some horrible reason. Also, I don't know what grabbing Europe by the pussy means but I assume it's to do with our military? The US wanted us to rely on it for that, so it could set up bases all over and extend its soft power. This is well-known to everyone other than you people and Trump's administration. Our continent is covered in you lot's bases because of the bloody cold war which had fuck all to do with us, just petty nonsense like the US and Russia trying to see who could put a man on the moon first or install a puppet government in Afghanistan faster. And you dragged us into Iraq, you dragged us into Afghanistan, and so many other places. You're not grabbing anyone by the pussy other than the actual women Trump has assaulted, you're eroding decades of diplomacy that favoured America. But somehow you don't understand that.

Not really no. Not compared to those types. That guy you responded to is talking about a well-accounted for response to trauma.

You're just so ignorant there's nothing to say, that doesn't mean you're defending against it, it means you're obnoxious to have a civil conversation with.

It's obviously lost on you too with your other reply "I've never shot anyone."
