You can't escape the Long John of the Law.

You know the answer.

Don't forget this also includes: people struggling with addiction and mental health issues. It's not just the homeless.

...he had contributions to humanity?

I knew he was insane after the MetaFilter drama over a decade ago (and similar antics on reddit a full 15 years ago) where he made a sockpuppet account to glaze himself and was immediately caught and outed which lead to him claiming that was his goal all along. When I have a minute I'll drop a link. He's always been this unhinged.

I agree but based on the sheer amount of and variety of sex toys it almost seems like they're in a sex shop which a child still shouldn't be inside.

This article is pretty good, but I think it's missing a major piece of the picture here.

The rest of the picture is about sexual repression, religion, the concept of sin, self-hatred, and projection.

You know what other thing that isn't a crime that these people treat the same way, with a desire for retributive violence? That they also often put on the same pedestal as pedophilia, acting like it's just as evil?

Being any stripe of LGBTQ+. They have the same rage and violent tendencies towards them despite being any type of queer or trans not being dangerous to others and as such isn't a form of crime.

A little background story that's related. I have a trans friend, and she's been in an on-again/off-again relationship with a deeply Christian man for almost a decade. Every time they got close, they would eventually have sex, and then immediately after he would have a "come to Jesus" moment and stop talking to her and disappear and say he couldn't be her friend because she was a temptation toward sin and he couldn't support her "lifestyle." That he needed to repent. Then, eventually, he'd come back around and "temptation" would get him to do the same thing all over again.

This is the deep, deep problem here, in my estimation.

It's like how Grindr crashes when there's a Republican convention under the heavy load (heh) of traffic from closeted right wing men who want to hook up with each other while all in the same town. It's like how the most religious areas also have the highest rates of viewing transgender pornography.

It's about sexual repression, self-hate, viewing it as a "sin", and projecting that self-hate on to others, erroneously thinking that if the thing that causes "temptation" is removed entirely that they will no longer be tempted. So they want to violently remove the temptation (people) from society so they can be affirmed in their belief that they are good people and not broken sinners.

I'd argue that it's exactly the same with pedophilia. It's about the thing they hate within themselves that they want to project onto others and use as a weapon to wipe out the temptation. They think if they just kill all pedophiles it will stop, refusing to accept their own pedophilic tendencies which are driven by it being a sexual taboo, just as they see being queer or trans as a sexual taboo. It's really a gross and pathetic way to live.

I believe the article is right about it being a legitimizing tool for violence as well, but I also think it's deeply tied to sexual repression, self-hate, and rejecting their own problems, pretending only other people are the real problem. They're just tempted by sin, they're not evil, they just need the temptation to be stopped for things to be "fixed." When they make "mistakes" they want others to give them forgiveness and patience, not to be violently put down like they want for others who do the same things as them.

Daylight, I dream of you softly
I wrote you a letter that will never reach you
In Montreal, the days are much colder there
Now you grow older there without me
On the lookout, baby, won't you look out?
A car full of raccoons, I think that I'm crazy
And downtown, the bar lights illuminate
Lost in a cityscape where I try to find you

You walk like a miracle, bathing in starlight
Your voice burning holes in the frame
I danced in the parking lot, cried in the taxi home
'Cause I still remember your name

And oh, I'm not in love anymore, anymore
But I will keep you close to me forever

Moonlight, I dream of you endlessly
Drowning in reverie, waiting for morning
Dim light, I'm drunk at the bar again
Holding a stranger's hand, a crowd with no faces

And there you are, beautiful just like the first time
You reach out, I'm shaking again
You're gone in a moment, you leave me alone
But I swear you were real in my hands

And oh, I'm not in love anymore, anymore
But I will keep you close to me forever

Well, I know these words might mean nothing now
I'm stuck in this ghost town
Your softness still haunts me
Someday I'll find my way out of here
If you don't change your mind, my dear
I'll take you with me

That's a long, long line, that's outside (that's outside)
That's my hometown, sold that shit out twice (yeah, two times)
At the wrong place, at the wrong time
If I die, take my hard drive, every song you find
Put it all online, yeah

Please don't act like we were close
Don't go comment on my post
Don't send flowers to my folks
When I was livin', you were ghost

I gotta go, I don't know if I'm ready
The snow in the bag, it don't fall like confetti
It's me and my brothers, it's Ed, Edd n Eddy
Yeah, hop in the car, it's a Honda or Chevy
He charged me an arm and a leg, but whatever
As long as it get me like Mario Andretti (wow)

Sound like an awful year
All they got to offer is thoughts and prayers
Pretty fast talk, like an auctioneer
You cannot afford what it cost to care
Showed no love for the long career
Now the shows over, it's off the air
Growin' up, I never thought it'd be like this
Tryna be like Skip, I never lost a hair

Do it for the fam, fuck all the data
And for the fans, thank y'all for the latter
Everybody else, thank y'all for the chatter
(Hey batta, batta, hey batta, batta bat)
Swingin' for the fence, lookin' for a couple hits
Like a home run ball to Saturn
I felt like Marshall Mathers, when he lost a battle
But I won that war, and that's all that matters

80 proof, it's in the puddin'
Penicillin with the Hennessy
That's the taste of my own medicine
That's what makes it my remedy
They tried erasing my memory, I think that creates an identity
I think that's what makes you my enemy
But you not replacing my legacy, no, no

That's a long, long line, that's outside (that's outside)

I keep seeing the idea of the Democrats forcing a government shutdown over the debt ceiling as one of the few ways to fight what is going on.

It just keeps going through my mind that Trump/Musk aren't following any rules or laws as it is, they're breaking every valid security rule there is as it is.

So, what would a shutdown do other than give them carte blanche to fuck shit up while all the federal workers have to go home without pay?

Musk has the wealth to just keep paying the people he wants to keep fucking shit up out of his own pockets. If all the federal workers are sent home, who is even going to do the dance of trying to stand in their way?

Isn't that more dangerous?

I feel like maybe there's more that I'm not understanding about the situation, but at the same time it feels like all bets are off and Musk is going to do whatever the fuck he wants no matter what is happening.

 

EDIT: FULL ENGLISH DUB ON YOUTUBE!

Whatever you do, find the English Dub.

Do not get the subtitled version. I know this is the opposite of what you usually want for a foreign film, but trust me on this one.

The English Dub for this film is absolutely unhinged and great.

I've been trying to find a list of the English voice actors for a very long time because I swear I recognize several voices from my Saturday morning cartoons in the 90's. (Most notably one of the young Shaolin boys that Hung Man Ting befriends)

IMDB Entry

Starring:

  • Jet Li as Hung Hei Kwun
  • Miao Xie as Hung Man Ting
  • Chingmy Yau as Red Bean
  • Deannie Ip as Red Bean's Mother
  • Sung-Young Chen as Ma Kai-Sin
  • Chunhua Ji as Ma Ling-Yee
  • Damian Lau as Chan Kan-Nam
  • Lung-Wei Wang as Commander
  • Chu-Ko Liang as the Wax Sculptor

Ten years before Kung Fu Hustle, Jet Li starred in this comedic action film which sports a lot of elements of what you might call a "Live Action Anime."

As shown in the animated GIF above, the film starts off on full-blast with a Shaolin plus a baby fight. (and of course catbox.moe is down so the GIF isn't loading now, d'oh!)

This would be the first of two films Jet Li would star alongside Miao Xie as a father/son fighting duo, followed by My Father is a Hero / The Enforcer (1995). The Enforcer is a much more serious film than New Legend of Shaolin, and in my opinion New Legend of Shaolin is just a way more fun film.

The entire film really feels cartoony and over-the-top. Every step of the way it gets weirder until it results in an absolutely insane climax and ending.

I keep on making shit up in my head
I'm freaking out all the time
I get so sad then get so depressed
You don't know what it's like

I keep on making shit up in my head
I over-analyze my life
I get so sad then treat myself like shit
You don't know what it's like, you don't know what it's like
To be me

I keep on making shit up on the regs
I keep on making up these stories in my head
And I keep thinking that I don't have a single friend
And even though I'm always hanging out with all of them
So are you ever gonna call me now?
You only love me whеn you want me around
And then you treat mе like shit, here we go again
You don't know what it's like

I flip a switch and become a bitch
You don't know what it's like, you don't know what it's like
To be me

I keep on making shit up in my head
I keep on lying to myself and all my friends
And holding onto all of these stupid little resentments
And even if I have to call you out again
So are you ever gonna come around?
You only love me when you want me around
And then we pretend that life's all good again
You don't know what it's like, you don't know what it's like
