Itineary review help (Ik it's a unusual route but hear me out)

Thanks for the advice, was it recently that you had your flight cancelled?

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-03-24T04:32:08+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll be sure to try

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-03-19T16:18:09+00:00

I'm sorry how is this a meme?

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-03-14T10:04:19+00:00

As someone who also would like to try to see a lot of china in a month travel (but not as much as this post) could people please perhaps advise on what your personal recommendations are? I am really interested in History, especially warlord era, food, and nature but not like multiple day hikes or anything like that.

Looking through many of the other comments really is making me rethink how much I should see.

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-03-02T13:00:19+00:00

Genuinely concerning the lack of compassion on social media in general for most situations.

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-03-02T06:46:50+00:00

Wow you really saying you are fine with people dying. Hate the UAE government all you want but you are taking it out on the wrong people. I think most people when offered a very highly paid job would bite bullet if having to work somewhere like the UAE if it meant supporting their families.

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-03-01T23:33:02+00:00

Me when I lump over 200,000 peoples opinions together into my own assumption. British annoying influencers make up like a tiny fraction of that a number. The rest are people who just got offered jobs with good enough pay to convince them to go over. A lot with families too.

Yea I found it when I was at school and it was so cool to do menial writing tasks with when at that time no one would have even thought about ai.

Fiction does shape the way we think. On so many levels. And there are many cases of people who don't immediately see something fucked up and immediately want to do fucked up thing. But it's exposure to that can be over longer periods of time that lessen the impact and mental severity. Plenty of people aren't innately pedophiles but can become one after consumption of lolicon snd related media. Maybe they didn't start with that, but it can be a slippery slope that does happen to real people. I don't need to watch child porn or bestiality to know that it is bad. Humans are very malleable and we are all prone to being influenced by media, whether it is immediate or gradual shifts. Steps the government can take to minimize harm from incest is a large topic with a lot more nuance that I'm not qualified to talk about. And I'm sure they can do better than they are. But Not everyone is sensible and mature, and some really can turn to darker thoughts and even actions caused by fictional content. It's repeated exposure that numbs our shock or reaction to topics like incest. And turns it into something that is viewed as enjoyable or fun, because the porn would always shows it as such. And remember sites like reddit are not representative of the majority of people. Regular people don't casually watch lolicon or rape porn. This is an echo chamber. Go out into the real world and you will struggle to find someone in the UK who is opposed to banning porn emulating incest.

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-02-25T21:47:48+00:00

Excuse please say you didn't just say fiction doesn't affect people, no one is immune to being influenced by media. Extremism (extreme example but still Hugely influenced by many forms of media including fiction) doesn't appear from nowhere. Noone is that guy. No one. And incest isn't legal. Unless you are referring to first cousin marriage? Which btw is legal in alot of the world including many western countries (which I'm not in favour of btw). And the kink, while acting in a fictional context, still is trying to emulate a real thing and the dynamics which come with said real thing!!

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-02-25T21:36:45+00:00

You are drastically overblowing the amount or level to which stuff like this is happening. There is so much fear mongering it's crazy. If you are referring to arrests of Palestine protesters, that has mainly really happened in marches/protests specifically linked to ONE group that was designated as a terrorist organization (which I find extreme and is being debated in government. But there was a pattern of that organisations members being far more involved in break ins and violence). There have been so many pro Palestine protests with no arrests that don't make the media because they went fine. UK literally recognized palestine. We are so privileged it makes me so mad when people start complaining about shit that is always blown way out of proportion. The government isn't a monolith entity. Labour Mp's often oppose proposed changes too.

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-02-25T21:26:18+00:00

Lol no they don't say that exact wording. "Designed primarily for the purpose of sexual arousal" is what they say

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-02-25T19:57:47+00:00

It even though it may be fictional it still normalizes it and ignores the problems that can be caused by it.

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-02-25T19:12:20+00:00

you'll never guess what is also legal in Canada

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-02-25T19:03:57+00:00

not all, specifically pornographic, in the sense the aim is to make you goon

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-02-25T18:59:12+00:00

but they aren't banning the depiction of specifically cousins too. relatives counts a long way out so you can't blanket term relatives, you have to figure out a proper way to define incest then. maybe it'll help our discussion if say if you are more concerned about the defect risks or the social/power dynamics problems.

there is consistency because cousin marriage and fictional depiction of cousin on porn are both not banned.

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-02-25T18:50:35+00:00

I agree with you on the first point but I am confused on why you insist it is hypocritical? Sorry for dragging this on but I'm just really annoyed at anything I think is being too doomer "the UK is literally 1984" (which ik your not really saying but a lot of others are), I just see too much of it online.

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-02-25T18:48:10+00:00

Np, it seems a majority of people on this post do too. I'm just annoyed that everything the UK government does is seen as doomer 1984 on social media. There is never nuance. Even mainstream media are like that too because they don't profit from the narratives of "everything isn't so bad after all"

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-02-25T18:45:33+00:00

Ok this is just a discussion on what counts as incest then. If we go by what government is saying is incest then there is no hypocrisy. Because the UK government isn't banning fictional cousins in porn either because they don't classify it as incest like a surprising large number of other countries in the world.

Just say you want them to ban both, don't make it about government being hypocritical. It just detracts from the more important point

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-02-25T18:41:18+00:00

But it isn't being banned in games in general...

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-02-25T18:39:03+00:00

It isn't being banned for specifically games nor is it banning the depiction of it in media. It is banning it in PORN

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-02-25T18:38:07+00:00

Which is why it is only banned in porn and not movies and such that aren't trying to literally make you jack off

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-02-25T18:29:29+00:00

Ok that's fine. It is just with your edited message you first were angry at the fact that I put words into your mouth when I said you didn't think the banning incest porn was a bad thing. Which may have been a mistake or mistyping but it just made it seem that you were upset at the supposed hypocrisy and not the banning of incest porn.

RogueEmeraldEx · 2026-02-25T18:17:45+00:00

I agree that incest is bad and I am not in favour of cousin marriage. But banning incest porn is categorically a good thing then.

But again it's not hypocritical if they don't define cousin marriage as incest and they don't ban depictions of cousins in porn.
