I kinda enjoy it too, but Rudeus is just such a pos, and the writer probably is as well. I was so happy that we were getting nice, non-fetishistic Eris-focused episodes for the new season, but as of episode 3 we’re back to square one with this person 🤦‍♀️.

Edit:

…but that show I probably fast forward scenes more than any other…

Glad I’m not alone in this :D

they already won by getting a platform to debate in the first place

They certainly didn’t. The reason why we are in this position in the first place is that the scientific community has ignored these charlatans for so long. Science communicators like Professor Dave actively working to dismantle the talking points of these figures works to at least make it possible for science-minded people to be able to defend their ideas more easily, make it so that people unsure about these topics stop considering conspiratorial views, and just maybe make people deep in the conspiracy theory at least be unable to sleep at night thinking about what they’ve heard. This stuff does actually help people.

Their ideas do not deserve the respect of being on an equal stage with the scientific consensus.

Yes, that’s why they should get humiliated publicly in exchanges like this.

lmao 😭

The study I linked is self-reported inclination. I think more data can be collected that way.

This is a false equivalency. Pedophile doesn’t mean someone that rapes children. A pedophile is someone that’s sexually attracted to children. Someone that rapes children is called a child rapist. You can be a pedophile that recognizes their urges being bad and thus not act upon them/get psychological help. This is why your analogy fails.

What we know is that there is no direct implication between consuming this content and engaging in criminal activity.

I know, I’m not for banning the content either. Let it stay as the nicotine patch that it is, until evidence comes out showing that it does increase child sexual assault.

You’re missing out honestly, it was absolutely amazing. They got probably the best people they could get for the scientific side.

And I think this is the clip you’re talking about:

This clip is also legendary. It was so awesome to see such a huge piece of shit get exposed directly to his face:

It’d seem that there isn’t really that much research in this area. This is the only article I could find directly related to child SA, with a helpful conclusion:

In this work, we have established how people with attractions to children are seeking sexual satisfaction using a range of different forms of FSM depicting children. We found no evidence that engaging with sexual fantasy and various forms of FSM was associated with variance in self-reported willingness to engage in sexual offences involving children, despite substantial numbers in our sample expressing a willingness to engage in these behaviours. Instead, we found that those who were more sexually satisfied reported a lower level of willingness to engage in such behaviours, while those who held offence-supportive beliefs reported a higher willingness. We urge researchers and clinicians to use our work as a springboard for further studies on the pursuit of sexual satisfaction, the addressing of sexual frustration. All of this should be conducted within the context of reducing potential risk, while encouraging a more evidence-informed social conversation about the importance of sexuality considerations in this area.

Though I think that banning lolicon drawings would just make pedophiles go and consume actual child pornography, which is arguably worse.

Yeah, it is.

Yep.

When you say ban stuff from abroad, you mean they search packages coming from abroad?

Sorry, it turns out that what I had heard before was exaggerated. It seems that they used to tax stuff you bought from abroad only if it passed 30 euros, but now they’re doing it for anything you buy, even if it costs like a dollar, and the taxation rates are pretty bad (30% for products from the EU, 60% for other countries, and an additional 20% for electronics, personal care products etc.). I could try it I guess but I would really need to save money for it.

Also in Turkey you can get estradiol over the counter? Without a prescription? That sounds really cool!

Yup! That is pretty nice c:

Androcur is 1800TRY (~40USD) in my country and it would take me some saving up just to spend that much lol. Another reason I can’t get vials is my country has effectively banned getting anything from abroad.

My current intention is to just test out its effects for a month or so, using OTC estradiol meds which are pretty cheap (Climen is 75TRY but Turkey is seeing a supply shortage of it for some reason, and Cyclo-Progynova is 150TRY but it seems I can only use half a package of it because of norgestrel). I don’t think that monotherapy is possible with these 🙁

She already had a private pilot license but was required to build up flying hours with an instructor it seems. The article still refers to her as a student.

I read that as Stephen Meyer and was really confused for a second…

I think doing this with Kutub al-Sittah would be way more interesting. Everybody knows what’s in the Quran, it’s the shortest of the three books. But not many people know that it’s sunnah to make your child bride wash your semen riddled clothes:

I think the license just doesn’t allow that, but I may be wrong.

You need to pay Anubis to be able to set a custom logo AFAIK.

This is one of the comments 💀

Some people are weird as hell 😭

Who are they?

Plants don’t decompose fungi, they absorb already decomposed fungi. And I wouldn’t say that the absorption of that is “eating”. Plants still need other life to survive, but there is much more of a symbiotic relationship, not this Nietzschean idea that you’re proposing.

We certainly know that the building blocks of life are abundant like amino acids, but life itself isn’t. Protocell formation is still hard, that’s why we still have a hard time replicating it. So the amino acid consumed most likely wouldn’t have become life. This was my point.

I said “this is just you conceding” in response to this, nothing to do with “life doesn’t exist so quickly”:

I guess you could say this is the bottom of the chain as long as fetuses aren’t people so amino acids aren’t life
