  • Wtf? No I’m not defending anyone, are you serious? I’m just saying that the fucking newspaper headline is accurate and isn’t disparaging/insensitive to the victim in the situation.

    Jesus fucking christ you are primed and ready to fucking go with your outrage. The article didn’t mention anything about the victim being a minor when they met, or about her being groomed. If that’s the case, yeah super fucked up, no shit. I literally opened the article after reading the post I responded to, read it, saw that it said the victim and Epstein were in a consensual relationship, then he raped her a year later.

    If I’m missing context blame the article, not me dude.






  • Somebody sourced supporting documentation that it was originally done to prevent masturbation. My thought process was that, from experience, jerking off still feels good regardless, and if you perform the procedure on an infant they’ll never know it could feel better, so where’s the deterrent?

    I’m glad we’re still practicing genital mutilation in 2024 just because some guy from a time when we treated people with hacksaws and leeches said so though.

    Do you have a source on the circumcision being a tool to deter masturbation? I grew up understanding that it was yet one more thing that the Christians co-opted from the Jewish faith, and it was done because Christians wanted to cosplay gods chosen people.

    Anecdotally, I’ve never heard a single person complain about masturbation difficulties due to being circumcised. I mean I guess if you performed the procedure at puberty it would be even more horrifying and traumatizing than doing it at birth, but I’m just not making the connection here.

    I don’t know where you live, if it’s in Europe maybe it’s different. In the US, I know many pro-choice people who have gone the circumcision route for the own kids. For those who don’t want or have kids, quite a few have said they prefer cut guys. It’s still very much a normalized societal thing in the US.





  • Right? I’m not like a photographer, I just shoot film on a used analog that I picked up on a whim while traveling. I was given to understand that you had your film ISO, your shutter speed, and your aperture, and while you could prioritize one of them the others would be forced to change with the prioritized one in order to maintain the proper exposure given the lighting conditions.

    Like if you had 800 ISO film, and wanted to shoot at night in low light without bokah at like f/16 or f/32, letting in less light, you’d have to lower your shutter speed to the point you’d need a tripod and a shutter bulb.

    On a side note when I first got the camera I was traveling for work and really only had time to shoot at night. It took me forever to figure out how to pull off street photography with a shutter speed that doesn’t require a tripod at night, even with like 800 ISO film. It’s been years at this point and I’m just now figuring out how to meter on the fly decently enough that the entire roll isn’t just black.



  • I had to suffer through enough ridiculousness before I got noise cancelling headphones. I absolutely am not joking, it would be glorious. The only reason I haven’t done it before is that how the fuck am I gonna type on a keyboard with a laptop on the tray table? I used to travel for work, 3-6 weeks at a time living out of hotels, so I’ve had my keyboard in my carryon duffel while flying, which seeded this dream.
