I know we've all been burned, and after the election it's easier than ever to be a Doomer. But this is clearly not at all good for him or his health.

As warped as this country is, I don't see any sort of philia becoming accepted in the mainstream. People were pointing out child brides, but that's a niche of a niche which creeps the vast majority of the country out. No disrespect to Missouri but I don't see us modeling our country after weird laws in red states.

I don’t get this. How can you look at the changing and accepting of further fringe tastes and norms over the decades of society and not think that the limit will be pushed. That argument about philia not being accepted is moronic on its face because it’s been employed on everything from interracial marriage to homosexuality to transgenderism. Ignoring any particular moral argument about the previous, how can you not think people will push for underage relationships, incest, or otherwise all in the service of the same argument of validation and acceptance?

There is very reasonable arguments on where to put the line to this, but there NEEDS to be a line at some point. To think, “well, the populace wouldn’t accept this” is being blind to history.

Eh… You understand that there were periods on history where legal age was way, way, way, lower than anything today? 

Not saying it couldn’t happen but that it wouldn’t come from Trump panicking about Epstein.

JAST publish porn. They also had very popular and mainstream VN on their catalog. You understand that a lot of Vtubers are weebs? And many don’t really care about this?

I just like when people talk like they know shit:

Quote:Yeah, it doesn't come as a huge surprise. If there's gonna be some sexual abuse, blackmail, and whatever else scandal in the future it's not exactly shocking. With how heavily favored female vtubers seem to be and how seedy some section of the fanbase is (like, just because it's an avater that doesn't mean it's cool to draw porn) it feels almost inevitable. Reading that someone with power may have shared IRL pics is messed up. Like, the anonymity can make this so much healthier than other "pop/idol" business but if you've gotta be afraid scummy CEOs do their thing... lovely.

While there is a lot of VTubers that don’t like it and have expressed it (thought they know is kind of uncontrollable so they just ask that keep it off their social media feed), a lot of them have also approved it or encouraged it. Marine made her career of being an openly horny Otaku.

Like I said before, a lot of them are weebs (or Otakus in the Japanese side).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Best_of_Black_Sabbath

Would change my fucking life

I had a tough experience in school, I was from year 0 to 13 harassed pretty relentlessly without end, my parents did what they could but schools just couldn't protect me man... and by the time I got to high school it got me physically I was sick so frequently that I missed over 40 days of school 2 out pf my 5 years of high school.

Which brings me to that album was my escape, my relaxation, my ticket to a zen space, I would listen to it almost ritualistically in a corner in front of my high school library where I'd sprawl out on that corner at 6:30am hours before school (something I did later even when I had a spare first period) just dozing and letting Ozzy's vocals, Iommi's guitar, Geezer's base and Ward's drums take me to a place where the intensity of my depression and anxiety couldn't reach... they carried me through high school

And it wasn't just them, I titled this art not specifically Black Sabbath for a reason

At home when my body just couldn't get me out of bed I routinely turned to Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger to help me detatch... and they too carried me through.

One of the most powerful moments I've had in my life is meeting Robert Englund and with tears forming in my eyes and little cry in my voice told him how he helped me survive high school, and the man took my hand, held it, and told me how he understood, and shared with me a story of how another person was helped to keep living by Freddy, then he listed every female lead he worked with on the Nightmare franchise and said it's their story.

And so like do you think anyone in Sabbath or involved in the Friday and Nightmare franchises thought fuck we're saving lives, we're helping people, probably not

But they saved at least one
Ozzy was a Zionist. ufup

Of course its been younger, but the point is the push against current societal norms, at least in the US. 

But yeah, the idea that Trump will somehow be the one to change the way society views these things, even among his own supporters, is retarded.

I actually just read Ozzy's autobiography (which is a great read, btw) and he says the thing he regrets the very most in life is how cruel he was to animals in his younger days. Like, he states this repeatedly throughout the book. He also admits he was super super fucked up on drugs and alcohol which is what led him to do it. That poster also brings up the time he choked out Sharon later on cuz he thought he needed to kill her, and that incident also becomes his driving force to get clean. Conveniently left out those little details, though.

'epstein killed himself. there's a lot of powerful people he had contacts with and the release of this information would be pretty damning in a lot of ways, and even implicate trump in unpleasant ways (for trump), but nothing that could specifically nail him.'

to a full-blown conspiracy theorist who questions if epstein killed himself and that there's some hardcore dirt on trump.
But that's stupid. Trump isn't hiding anything because the government already released everything of value it had years ago. You fell for the con and now you think the fact that you fell for it means there's a conspiracy.

You're ignorant of what kind of evidence there is so you think there's some great big list of powerful people. But why? Because you're stupid and that's how you'd run a criminal fucking conspiracy? You know what the first step of having a successful international criminal operation is? Don't keep clear records, especially not in a single ledger. (Which btw, Epstein's was already released. It was part of the public evidence.)

Do I buy the story about Epstein killing himself? Not really, but I know enough about crimes and criminals that there doesn't need to be a huge cabal for someone to want someone dead or even induce someone whose empire has totally collapsed to suicide by suggesting plenty of things. There doesn't need to be any cabal because international human trafficking is itself already a massive criminal conspiracy with very bad people who make witnesses disappear. Epstein obviously had ties to them and we know that, they have every reason to silence him, they have money to make things happen, etc. The point isn't that they did it, the point is that a series of independent transactions with the players knowing very little is enough to explain his death.

The other question is why you think if there's a massive criminal conspiracy that runs in the highest powers of the planet you also think they haven't gotten rid of the evidence. They can get to Epstein but they can't get to a file cabinet at the FBI? They've had how many years to do this. Again, the point is not that this happened the point is that you continue to suggest an incredible size conspiracy that also happens to be limited by your own knowledge and imagination. You tell me there's a powerful cabal like on TV shows like The Blacklist or whatever and I'm going to assume they have the magical plot powers of those cabals.

The problem with most conspiracy theorists is that they believe that evil has to follow rules they're setting up. So the pedo cabal has to keep this evidence around. Or the chemtrails cabal never has to just silence the people exposing them even though murder is totally fucking easy when there's no consequences to it. Or the Zionists can't really just silence people and pave over Palestine. They have to do this because they have to keep hope open that someday the conspiracy will be exposed (and more importantly, that they'll be proven right and everyone else will have to take an L), if the conspiracy is really as obvious and powerful as they're pretending, it wouldn't be.

Most Reseterans are the kind of retards that think billionaires literally have $1+ billion cash in the bank or a vault like Uncle Scrooge.

Of course they think when a stock price goes down that the company/shareholders have lost actual money rather than numbers in a spreadsheet.
Reply
I'm open to the idea that they think a company's valuation is actual money in an account somewhere. Starbucks stock price went down so they had to give $7 billion to somebody out of their account. They often seem to think retail operations are rolling in money and have giant basements full of stock too. I've noticed lots of these types on Twitter/Bluesky seem to discuss both rich people and corporations operating as if they have a single personal checking account and nothing else like the person writing the tweet does. (Brianna Wu does this a lot, when probably Frank Wu's own finances don't look like that.)

Which is funny because they also spend a lot of time talking about company's "cash on hand" when they're doing their console war acquisition fantasies. Like giant corporations ever actually pay for companies with petty cash.

Then they swing in the other direction, so many of them fell for people like Alejandra Carballo claiming Elon couldn't buy Twitter or he'd lose Tesla. (A company he's never owned btw.) Then after the sale they started spreading stuff about how Saudis were one of the partners and this was a sinister plot. (As if anti-Zionists owning social media companies is a bad thing.) The same Saudis who already owned that share of Twitter and simply held it as the company went private. That's allowed??? You can negotiate with the new buyer and don't have to sell all your shares???

The same people who think Zaslav was dumping anything not starring white men to silence anti-fascists because he was dumping stuff from the previous management they had a limited time tax credit for not releasing. And are now celebrating James Gunn's two hour anti-Zionism commercial that Zaslav released while Disney and Nintendo keep trying to win over Trump by not casting trans actors or anyone who speaks against Zionism.

Yet none of them ever care about all these experts and their own predictions constantly being wrong? They never try to figure out why they didn't get things right? Oh yeah, it's probably just the bad luck and systemic issues that cause all my problems. Anyway, if y'all aren't going to organize and end capitalism then at least try to organize some alternative systems of living by donating to my pizza and RTX5090 mutual aid fund.

omfg
I actually just read Ozzy's autobiography (which is a great read, btw) and he says the thing he regrets the very most in life is how cruel he was to animals in his younger days. Like, he states this repeatedly throughout the book. He also admits he was super super fucked up on drugs and alcohol which is what led him to do it. That poster also brings up the time he choked out Sharon later on cuz he thought he needed to kill her, and that incident also becomes his driving force to get clean. Conveniently left out those little details, though.
Didn't he confessed shooting on cats and birds during lockdowns? Doesn't feel like he was much of animal guy.
