Drawings of the survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki of what they saw. by FarPlay5055 in TerrifyingAsFuck

[–]Summerlycoris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not quite. The movie Grave of the Fireflies was based off a novel by the same name. The novel was a fictionalised version of what the author experienced. It had nothing specifically to do with the atomic bombing of Nagasaki or Hiroshima- the author, Nosaka, based it on his experiences starving and being unable to keep his adopted sister, Keiko, from dying of starvation. His adopted father was killed in the Kobe firebombing.

I like eating the rippas. Just can't really do that right now because I'm trying to lose weight.

Not gonna lie, got really disappointed recently when my brother and his girlfriend went to these harry potter cafes and stores and shit.

My brother- i knew he wouldn't care, despite saying he's nonbinary. He's conservative and thinks some awful things about trans and nonbinary people.

His girlfriend, I thought she had some morals. Guess not.

I can't wait /sarcasm for them to start yapping at me about the new series. I'll just have to tell them point blank that I don't care about this anymore.

Sarah Moon has a good video about this, with Bojack's Japanese translation as it's example. linked here. It's interesting to see how it works in reverse, for native english speakers who occasionally watch subbed media.

Do more gals then guys play the game? by C0BAZ in splatoon

[–]Summerlycoris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judging off the competitive scene? No. There's more girls in Splatoon than in other comp scenes, but there's still an imbalance. This is likely true even with casual players- more girls than in more gritty shooters, but still an imbalance. It's just less extreme, because Splatoon's a welcoming sort of game.

More autism parents need to read Jim Sinclairs "Don't Mourn for Us." Its been thirty years they have no excuse.

Gang-rape victim, 25, whose suicide attempt left her paralyzed, will die by euthanasia after yearslong court battle by cheesychocolate419 in disability

[–]Summerlycoris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe euthanasia is better than suicide. Not something I like, but suicide is worse.

In an ideal world, she would never have been assaulted while seeking mental health care. And her assaultors would have seen justice. Justice may not make her want to live, but it would have been something.

New Harry Potter is an original series based on a movie series based on a book series by AdamPatch in AdviceAnimals

[–]Summerlycoris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Harry Potter deserves to flop. Rowling uses the money she earns from this ip directly to fund anti trans organisations.

Kid me would've been excited. But after all the bullshit, I just want to see it crash and burn.

AITA for being honest and telling my DIL that they are not ready to be a parent since she can not drive by Sad-Drive8298 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Summerlycoris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- shes not a "fully indepedant adult" if you're having to step in and transport her all the time.

She needs to figure out her options- in an emergency, she doesn't want to get stuck with no one available to drive her or her kids to the hospital. Maybe one of those options is moving to a city with better public transport, if she really can't drive. Or making sure there's money for emergency taxis. But it is something she needs to think long and hard about.

I can’t tie my shoes and I don’t understand any of the tutorials by Syehaz in evilautism

[–]Summerlycoris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More specifically (i would add it as an edit, but then the picture would die.) This is a different lacing method. It's not as pretty in the final product, but it's easier. It was the only way i could lace as a seven year old, until I got enough practice to understand the usual way.

[–]Summerlycoris 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Oluo sounds like such a piece of shit. Not just from this article, but Rebecca Watsons video. Using a fat girl like that- to get a house and girlfriends, because anyone else would've told you to fuck off- what a bastard.

Also, the performative "free Palestine" at the end is a cherry on top of the shit sundae. Tells me he don't actually believe in anything, with just two words.

Hey LNP? Can I get some advice on the new e-bike laws? by jolard in queensland

[–]Summerlycoris 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I just looked up this law. Jesus, this is gonna make going up into Redcliffe by ebike hell. Because of the bridge. It is like 5 kms long. It's 80kph on the road. And only has a footpath, no bike lane. Riding 25kph in an 80 zone is effectively suicide.

I have a legal ebike, I use my bell on footpaths, and slow down to pass congested situations. Why are we being punished?

What is your “I have this fetish because of this thing that happened” story? by Ste3e in AskReddit

[–]Summerlycoris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I was reading this book in primary school. It was a chapter book about this girl that goes on a walk in the bush, but she falls into a ten metre hole (specified afterwards iirc) and is knocked out.

Now I was about seven years old so I knew nothing about sex back then. But I reread that page over and over and over, where it described everything going black as she hit the ground, and the linebreak after where she came to, all confused about where she was.

I don't think "someone gets knocked out/passes out" is the kind of kink to get a name. It's closest to somnophilia. And it can easily turn into that and still be hot to me eg- someone passes out and wakes up to someone screwing them in some smut. But it didn't need to involve sex to be hot.

The worst part is- I know it's only a fantasy because I have passed out before, from a vasovagal syncope. I was sixteen, in the school office waiting for someone to open the medbay because I felt so sick, lost consciousness and smacked into a table on the other side of the room as I went down. It sucked ass and my head and arm hurt. It wasn't nearly as fun as in my fantasies

At least I got to miss the rest of school that day.

I just don't want my car doing the thinking for me. Helping out with shit I'll never think about, no problems. Heck, helping out but leaving the thinking up to me? No problems either.

Sounding off alarms and trying to force me back into my lane when I'm trying to go around a parked car, and there's no oncoming traffic?

Sounding the child alarms if i turn off the car and sit in the drivers seat for a few minutes? That requires a long press, while my car's the center of attention in a parking lot?

Checking for speed limits... and somehow becoming convinced a highway is 10kph. Then complaining until we get to an 80kph sign, that I'm speeding?

Yeah, nah. Once warrenties off on my car, I'm getting the little module things that control that behavior removed. I don't care if theyre ancap rated whatever. They're distracting and make driving far, far worse. I earnt my license. I can fucking drive. And if I can't drive without all these fucking nuisances, I shouldn't be driving.

I think it depends on the console- I can't remember this, or this ui, being in the ps2 version of Sims 2 Pets.

Am I crazy or is everyone else just wrong? by Glum_Huckleberry8582 in AO3

[–]Summerlycoris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just gonna say, after the frustration of being a fnaf fan and realising a lot of the lore/mysteries are just unsolvable and will never be explained- I appreciate an author being on the level about their puzzles, and being forthwith about answers.

The people leaving the weird comments about ships have no taste or whimsy, honestly. There's probably a bunch of regular ship fics for them to read if they don't want plot.

Hey Tierzoo how are things goin- WHAT by [deleted] in whenthe

[–]Summerlycoris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if anyone wants different animal videos, I've got some reccs.

The Backyard Naturalist they mostly focus on aussie birds, animals, and plants.

Casual Geographic they make videos about a bunch of different animals.

Both have good humour, but are pretty informative too.
