We’ll, he’s rich sure. But would he have paid even a red cent to visit an island resort?
He was more of the “stay at home, swim in pile of gold” rich.

Huh, this is something I have never thought of, and I’m not really sure what it’s for… but it sounds like the idea is that you say upfront “play me the next 3 episodes of this show”, and then it plays 3 automatically, and after the third takes you back to the menu? Fascinating.

Thanks! I imagine for some people it’s too informal, or too rambly, but I try to reproduce a casual speaking style, essentially. Glad it made at least one person happy! 😅

Okay, let’s dial it back a bit then. If a 28 year old model puts a nametag on that says “I’m 8 years old”, does it suddenly become pedophilia? It might be a bit “what are you doing that for” but she doesn’t become a child.
If an adult couple, with full consent, engage in Teacher-Student roleplay, does that implicate them in a crime because a real student and real teacher situation is fucked up and unethical?
If I wrote a book where a character’s age was not revealed, and then at the end of the book it suddenly became clear that this character had been a child the whole time, perhaps I’m a shitty author, but it doesn’t suddenly mean every reader goes straight to jail.
All I’m saying is that if you’re going into the works because you know there’s child content, and that’s what you’re into, then that’s bad. But it’s bad that you’re into that anyway.
And if a work is trying to attract attention from those people, then they’re probably not good works for other people.
But if you’re not interested in children, and a character says they’re a teenager, but they don’t remind you of any teenagers you’ve ever met in your real life, it’s easy to go “okay sure whatever” and continue to not connect the idea of this character with real “teenageness”. In the same way that shows can have dragons or laser eyes or flying cars, I can go “okay this person is a Fantasy Teenager, who is for all intents and purposes an adult. Got it”
Now, that’s not to say I’ve never seen something and gone “hmm, this isn’t for me”. That’s totally a thing! There can still be taste, and there can still be plotlines that are cringe, or just plotlines I don’t enjoy in general. And I think it’s fair to think “huh… the author could have picked any age… why did they pick this age”, and maybe that’s enough to take someone out of enjoying a work entirely. Nothing wrong with that.

I should clarify, I don’t say this to defend the individual anime. Maybe some of them are terrible! I’m more just curious at the way y’all seem to see the work. I wish I could glimpse the characters through your eyes and see what you’re picking up, because I don’t seem to have any problem seeing the characters’ form as completely separate from the role they occupy in the plot or fictional world, in a similar way that an actor is not the characters they’ve played.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I said basically this on the other post about this, but when I look at the characters presented here, not a single one looks “like a child” to me. And I don’t mean “it looks like pedophilia is morally right”, what I mean is that these characters don’t have the traits children have. At least in my eyes.
They don’t look any more like a human child than Kermit the frog does, or Miss Piggy. They’re empty abstractions of people, and we breathe a spirit into them when we project things onto them, and I don’t project “fourteen-year-oldness” onto any of these shapes. Because I’m not into that, maybe?
So, like, even if the plot for these characters states that they’re 14, it certainly doesn’t seem that way. I don’t bring that in with me.
I only recognize like one or two of these characters, so I don’t know what age range is meant to be represented here, I just heard someone else say one of them was 14.

I’ve had that thought before too, but until I just read this now I’ve never thought about it before but… we could just make a wireless T9 keyboard. It could be about the size of a car’s keyfob, basically all battery and 3x4 grid of tactile buttons. And so all you do with it is hold it in your off hand and type with your thumb, that’s it. But it’s a Bluetooth keyboard that just understands T9 and works with any phone. Or even tablets or laptops if you wanted to pace around while typing.
Like, there are chorded keyboards and stuff like that, but I don’t know I’ve seen a thumb-only phone-layout wireless keyboard before…

Huh. Did you check to see if it had a name on it? Maybe someone left it for their friend. You could check inside the Wendy’s and see if the person told any of the staff who they were leaving it for?

- Comment on Tiddies are nice but the metric system is better 4 weeks ago:
I do wish we metric places (or at least Canada) were more flexible and familiar with the whole system. Sure we have milliliters and centimeters and kilograms, but people say things all the time like 2000km or 2 million kgs, or even things like 25000mAh. And I get it, people get into a frame of reference and want to stay there, but I wish people had the agility and practice to say 2 megameters, 2 gigagrams, and, well 25 amp hours, and still be understood. That last one’s not hard, but packaging still seems to be stupid about it.

- Comment on Bisexuality released in 1995 and the devs still haven't dropped an update 5 weeks ago:
Everybody most certainly did not switch over! They hard forked it and sure some people moved to the new fork because they liked the maintainers more and it has the community they vibe with, but a lot of people stayed with the old one and are still using it. The trademark stayed with the original fork, which means the new fork had to develop a new flag which not everyone in the community is stoked about…
There’s a couple side-forks with small communities, like Omni, but most people consider them pretty niche.

Then that’s good news!
- Comment on Amazon raises its minimum wage, adds new grocery and banking benefits for employees 1 month ago:
Are all the people who are in the warehouse employees? Are they all “full time” or whatever class of employee gets the new perks?
- Comment on Amazon raises its minimum wage, adds new grocery and banking benefits for employees 1 month ago:
That’s my assumption, but I have no data. And so I assume that the people that people think of when they think of “amazon employee” are actually not helped by this change.
- Comment on Amazon raises its minimum wage, adds new grocery and banking benefits for employees 1 month ago:
Does anyone want to do more work than me? Because I’d be curious who counts as an “employee”, but not so curious as to dig.
Like, are all of the people who pick things at warehouses employees, or just a select few? Drivers, etc?

Okay, in Jerboa it looks like you need the space between “:::” and the “spoiler” and there can’t be empty lines, it’s got to be the spoiler header, then the line you’re marking up, then the closing tag? At least that’s how my test looked to me, but maybe my other tests screwed up the parser 😛

Hmm, I’m in Jerboa, but it typically has spoiler tags. Maybe it needs a space between the colons and the word “spoiler”?

This doesn’t render as a spoiler for me, BTW
- Comment on I stand with Spider-Woman 🏳️⚧️ 2 months ago:
I know it’s not the point of this… but I actually really like in this one that Petra has roughly the same silhouette as before and didn’t instantly become some hippy curvascacious pin-up.
Maybe that’s dysphoric for people, I don’t know, but to me, a cis-guy, it feels weird that she’d come out as trans and suddenly have a magical-girl transformation and her pelvis would grow three sizes that day.
I guess I’m saying she’s still Spider-Woman with narrow hips?
