Yeah, definitely one of my least favourite hentai tropes. See also “fill the entire womb with sperm”.
- Comment on Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie? 4 days ago:
That’s just not what “old” or “new” mean for media. You could maybe make that argument if the movie was made a long time ago but only released now, but that’s a very rare case. The public has already consumed the media, if it was somewhat popular you might be aware of what people thought about it, and if it was influential it might even interact with younger movies, possibly leading to you thinking that certain elements of it are overdone or old hat when this might actually have been one of the first works to have used these elements.
On top of that, the general societal context is not that of today, but of when the movie was made - few works are so timeless that this doesn’t matter at all.
- Comment on Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie? 4 days ago:
‘old’ and ‘unknown to me’ aren’t the same thing and never were. When someone says they’re into ‘old movies’, they never mean that they like rewatching movies from the 2020s.

30 years is pretty old for a movie.
- Comment on Just found an interesting quote from buffy the vampire slayer for our technodystopia. 1 week ago:
Well, we aren’t manipulated by technology per se, but by the humans who control the technology. Could have been nice if Silicon Valley wasn’t so damn fascist. But I suppose that’s nitpicking, Giles definitely had the right idea.

Yeah, that’s fair. They certainly don’t make it easy to vote in USA, which is deliberate to some extent. Easy to forget (like I just did).
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I think it was the votes of less than a third of eligible voters that made Trump 2.0 a reality, roughly another third just behind it, with the remainder not bothering to vote at all. I would say the often fantasized silent majority is actually not pro Trump.
That means that a third didn’t bother, though. The exact reason is up to debate, but it doesn’t say any good things about them or the political system.

Anti-intellectualism has a certain tradition in the USA, it’s kind of well-known.
A German perspective: I think Germans have always been this stupid, they’re mostly just more willing to say the quiet part out loud than they were between 1970 and 2014 (rough estimate). The difference is that the far right extremists have a popular platform now, and the mainstream parties refuse to ban either the far right party or all the media (X, Facebook, local tabloid press etc.) that’s pushing them. If this party had been around in 1960, it would definitely have been banned.
- Comment on Cheese pizza Lunchables have taught me that yellow cheese should be used in smaller proportions then white cheese or yellow cheese is more scarce/valuable then white cheese. 2 weeks ago:
And now I’ve eaten all of it slowly over the coarse of 2 months. Just fistfulls of late night cheese.
See, that’s exactly why I don’t do that! Also I don’t think my local supermarkets actually sell 3 lbs of mozzarella for $7.

Yellow cheese (assuming it doesn’t use food coloring) typically takes a lot more time to make than white cheese, so yeah. Though mozzarella is also just the standard pizza cheese, it seems like most people in the know prefer mozzarella’s properties (e.g. stretchiness) over other types of cheese.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 mod for Stardew Valley is out now 4 weeks ago:
Astarion is a sexy vampire, of course people who are into men are going to love him.
- Comment on FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH gets a smaller download on Steam Deck 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, that shit is getting absurd.
Comparing a fresh download between my Steam Deck and Desktop Linux, the Steam Deck download for it is now 88.1GB whereas on Desktop it’s showing as 144.2GB.
88 GB is already kind of annoying, especially when you have slow internet, but 144 GB (much of that probably 4k textures, uncompressed audio and similar stuff) just fucking sucks.
- Comment on Why don't people going to college get HUD, Food Stamps, and free Medicare/Medicaid while enrolled? Instead of the parents footing the bill or the student working 3 jobs and school? 4 weeks ago:
They do it like that in Europe.
- Comment on How does one go about curing a pill hangover? Never had one but a patient of me asked me this and I had no answer. I know how to get over alcohol hangover but not a pill hangover? 5 weeks ago:
Hydration is probably still a good start. Helps your organs (including kidneys) do their jobs.

Would be a better point if you used a western-style drawing. Like, make Asterix say that kinda thing - that might actually sting a little!
- Comment on If Europe and the rest of the worlds response it to make weapons of war, someone will eventually insure they are all used. 5 weeks ago:

USA isn’t Europe.

Being conquered is nasty business, too. Ask the inhabitants of Bucha if you find any.

If Europe doesn’t make weapons of war, someone will eventually conquer them.
And y’know, we have yet to see open, full-scale war between atomic powers. Nuclear deterrence seems to work (for now).

- Comment on What’s the difference between pansexuality and bisexuality? 5 weeks ago:
I believe that gender is a spectrum and there’s more than two of them
Many bisexuals read “bi” as “homosexual + heterosexual”, where heterosexual includes all genders other than your own.
- Comment on What’s the difference between pansexuality and bisexuality? 5 weeks ago:
I’ve seen some pansexuals make that distinction, but most bisexuals are not any less inclusive than pansexuals.
- Comment on What’s the difference between pansexuality and bisexuality? 5 weeks ago:
In practical terms, the biggest difference is the flag.

I never made any claims concerning effects.
- Comment on put that in your pipe and smoke it 5 weeks ago:
Unlike most plants, it is white and does not contain chlorophyll.[9] Instead of generating food using the energy from sunlight, it is parasitic, and more specifically a mycoheterotroph. Its hosts are in the Russulaceae family.[9] Most fungi are mycorrhizal, meaning that they grow symbiotically in association with tree roots. Through the fungal web of mycorrhizae, the M. uniflora roots ultimately sap food from where the host fungi are connected to the photosynthetic trees.
Sick. Note that plants generally fall on a spectrum between food-generating from sunlight and parasitism through their roots; though generally, plants don’t just steal nutrients from fungi, they exchange nutrients with them, i.e. it’s a mutualistic relationship.

Car tyres are also significant contributors to terrestial microplastics and particulate matter!

- Comment on tetrapods 5 weeks ago:
Never even tried any of them, because I have yet to see one that isn’t just fat (mammal cheese has fat and protein). But I don’t like Harzer Roller (a stinky soft cheese), either, and yet most people insist on calling it “cheese”.
- Comment on tetrapods 5 weeks ago:
Hm, fair.

There’s plant-based cheese …
