I will bet you one shiny silver nickle it’s not.
It’s nice that praise kinks are starting to get accepted (because man, they sure werent taken seriously for a long damn time), but to characterize this as “a lot” of the bdsm community is just comically wrong. It’d be like saying “a lot” of the community is into heavy rubber or petplay or ABDL - all very popular, but still minute fractions of the broad community.
Uh… No. No this is just wrong. I’m glad they’ve found enough outlets for their praise kink that they think the whole subculture is this, but man. No. Not even close.
That… this doesn’t change anything, because he vetoed it, so it’s not a requirement for anyone?
Yep that’s all true, but they’ll pump it into the ground anyways because “venting nuclear fusion byproducts into the atmosphere” is going to go down really poorly with the “I hate and fear the things I don’t understand” “anti-nuclear” crowd.
You’re really not very good at this, are you.
Honks Clownishly. Lmfao tho, you’re the one that said “one bullet one dead” is the goal, which is so out of touch with doctrine it’s frankly hilarious. Just give up, man. Everyone can see how little you know about the topic and the only person you’re fooling by attempting to cast this as having been trolling from the start is possibly yourself. Though I suspect even you are aware of how desperate you sound.
Oooo, trying to spin this so you don’t take a hit in the ol’ ego? Good luck with that. Though there is something delecious about someone who clearly doesn’t have a clue what they’re talking about being this confident while being so very, very wrong. Its like some kind of delightful tonic for the soul…
The point of full auto is to improve hit probability, not increase lethality. There absolutely is a multiround bonus, and 3rnd burst used by every major military for this exact reason.
The amount of helium produced is truly miniscule, in the order of a few cubic centimeters. They’ll just pump it into the ground somewhere, assuming we ever get fusion working

But for a child that is ready, who wants to know, what I mean to find out is why you would reject them.
Ah, I see. While I think you’ve got a really rose tinted view of childhood that very much is at odds with what I understand childhood development to look like, that’s probably just because I’m a very jaded bitch. But that said, I’ve been under the impression you think it should be the job of panelists or strangers to educate children. If we’re talking about a child I know, that I could reasonably judge would be able to understand the concepts and not be freaked out by them, then sure that would be fine.
But there is no way for me to judge that about somebody else’s kid - and it’s ridiculous that someone would think other people should be comfortable being forced into that situation (ie, the people bringing their children to these kinds of panels). I’m sure glad their parents might think they’re ready to face concepts from Paw Patrol After Dark, but so many parents are just neglectful bastards, or assume that their kids are ready for mature topics when they are clearly not. Hazbin isn’t exactly ‘toybox killer tapes’ levels of fucked up, but it’s certainly got some content that could really mess up a kid’s perspective of the world if they weren’t careful, and those topics are absolutely discussed at panels like this, hence why the panelists in question are uncomfortable having children in the audience.
I guess my point here is that while I do broadly agree with your point, and that I am (and even have been in the past) perfectly comfortable talking to kids about my scars (most of them now just emotional, yay), I’m not comfortable talking to every/any kid about that, and that’s been what I’ve understood you to be arguing in favor of. Sorry for that!
(Imo, the role of a parent should be to regulate when self-directed discovery should be and is encouraged, and when it should be curtailed until the child in question is ready to experience a given topic. A difficult line to walk, yes, but a pretty important one. Children are notoriously bad judges of what they are actually ready for, and you can’t build up an immunity to emotional trauma Dread Pirate Roberts style…)
Real question here, you ever worked with any children, or is this idealism? Because the idea that a child could have the relevant background to understand the nuanced motivations of characters in these situations is pretty… well depressing, if we assume that all children are going to have that background.
As an illustrative example, children’s media. It isn’t simplistic because we’re condescending, it’s simplistic because its both to explain simple, fundemental concepts and becasue that’s what kids enjoy. They can relate to it, because it addresses concepts that they have the intellectual capacity and prerequisite understanding to be able to relate to it. This is childhood education at its heart.
I don’t want to explain concpets that most actual adults cant understand, or even discuss in a mature way, to a child. People use “you’ll understand when your older” all too often as an excuse to brush aside questions they just don’t want to take the time to explain, but sometimes it’s because explaining “I hated myself so much I didn’t care what happened with my body which is why I have all these scars that spell out words you hopefully dont know yet on my chest/legs/back” isn’t something a child can understand. And thank fuck for that.
I’m not saying kids shouldn’t watch it, though imo they shouldn’t, just that there’s no way I would be comfortable discussing it around a kid.
I think the danger is not in children understanding it, its that they’ll misunderstand it, and with some topics you want to be careful to ensure a kid has the right background context to understand it.
Oh my god, that smell is mildew. If your towels are kept so humid that they’re mildewing the colliform bacteria in your bathroom is having an entire festival on there. Please, before you get a horrible infection, please start swapping them out more frequently. I’m begging you, rubbing that on even a small open wound could be legitimately life threatening (for example if you’re the lucky winner of E.Coli roulette, which is also absolutely growing on your towels).
You’re not clean, though. You’re really, really not. You’re cleaner, but humans are disgusting and a residential shower is in no way getting you anything close to actually ‘clean’. You don’t have to be insane like I am and swap them out every shower, all the literature I can find says 1-3 days is probably fine, but please please get a couple more towels and swap out for a clean one every few days at least, right now you’re just culturing some very nasty bacteria and then rubbing it all over yourself.
Errr… yes. But only the kitchen towels, other hand-drying towels just get swapped out in the mornings or if they’re particularly damp/soiled.
I was always taught that the towel’s final role is to abrade and collect the dirt/grime/skin that has been loosened by showering, but that wasn’t washed away (which iirc is mostly just the skin and oily grime, not dirt or other large particulates).
If it works for you then you do you! It’s just odd to discover that people think towels are somehow clean after being rubbed all over your body. It’s probably fine, the literature I’ve just dug up seems to indicate that it’s not ideal but safe to use the same towel for 1-3 days so long as you’re not sharing it, (depending on environment, it seems that they get a “disconcertingly large bacteriological load” (heh) if left in a humid bathroom) but still. ew.
… you people use towels more than once?
I feel like there is a reference in that second one I don’t get :(
