[03:49:37] @ ski/rizon guten morgen, fraulein, sushi-chan und Ahsoka

[03:50:12] @ ski/rizon who's sadako ?

[03:51:16] @ ski/rizon die niebelungen ring ?

[03:51:31] @ ski/rizon hm. never heard of that one

[03:51:39] @ ski/rizon really

[03:51:54] @ ski/rizon indeed :>

[03:52:28] @ ski/rizon also called "the ring" (in japanese) ?

[03:52:57] @ ski/rizon (for some reason, i'm reminded of the Fatal Frame games. they have japanese ghosts (both women and weremen))

[03:53:05] @ ski/rizon hmm .. is that a loanword ?

[03:55:35] @ ski/rizon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zsv5rEIX3gE

[03:57:23] @ ski/rizon hm, was the remake with american actors ?

[03:59:48] @ ski/rizon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWofI3jTA7w#t=5m18s

[04:00:46] @ ski/rizon mm, tend to prefer originals, with original voices, as well

[04:01:05] @ ski/rizon heya CrystalMath

[04:01:33] @ ski/rizon often they're of lower quality. even if they try, it's hard to fit in well

[04:01:41] @ ski/rizon yes

[04:01:53] @ ski/rizon especially if lips are clearly not synched

[04:02:41] @ ski/rizon breaks the suspension of disbelief

[04:03:18] @ ski/rizon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7LtLMI13N8

[04:03:52] @ ski/rizon Gab is good, she's done her own subtitles (translating from the japanese). she's lived in Japan for some years

[04:04:48] @ ski/rizon even if you don't understand what they're saying at all (from the speech), it's still nice to get the general feel of the sound of the language

[04:05:51] @ ski/rizon i remember watching Beauty and the Beast, dubbed in, i think, turkish ? with english subtitles, and also some other subtitles partially overlapping that

[04:06:43] @ ski/rizon well, this was on VHS

[04:08:11] @ ski/rizon sushi-chan : why do you think they do that ?

[04:18:27] @ ski/rizon sushi-chan : how common is it, on say national television or so ?

[04:18:36] @ ski/rizon hello deadly

[04:21:26] @ ski/rizon that sounds horrible :(

[04:22:22] @ ski/rizon perhaps too much protectionist policies holding over from earlier ages. maybe combined with envy or something

[23:14:02] @ ski/rizon sushi-chan has synaesthesia

[23:14:27] @ ski/rizon it's when your senses blend into each other

[23:14:37] @ ski/rizon so that you perceive certain sounds as having colors, e.g.

[23:15:09] @ ski/rizon well, it's not related to delusion

[23:15:11] @ ski/rizon it

[23:15:20] @ ski/rizon it's a condition related to the senses

[23:15:47] @ ski/rizon it's suspected that some arts people in history have had it, iirc

[23:15:52] @ ski/rizon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synaesthesia

[23:17:27] @ ski/rizon but i do understand the desire to have an escape .. which is one reason why i think the representation stuff that's pushed is often bunk

[23:17:40] @ ski/rizon (or the "everything is political statement" .. no thanks, please)

[23:18:27] @ ski/rizon culture does seem to be in a bit of a lack of creativity. mostly reruns, remakes, reboots, &c.

[23:18:33] @ ski/rizon not as much new stories

[23:18:37] @ ski/rizon or is this only me ?

[23:20:33] @ ski/rizon (i also think there's something to the statement that good fiction is often a condensation of noticing patterns of behaviour, enacting it, so that we, as a culture, can more easily talk about it)

[23:21:57] @ ski/rizon sushi-chan : unfortunately, there's a lot of misandry out there (and quite some misogyny as well) .. but it seems to me the way we're currently handling this, as a culture, isn't working that well

[23:22:58] @ ski/rizon sushi-chan : you're not the only one, no. but publicly, people having opinions like yours currently don't tend to get heard too much

[23:23:17] @ ski/rizon (my mother is a lot like this, fwiw)

[23:24:35] @ ski/rizon it's really not that complicated. both women are weremen are humans. there's a lot of shitty humans out there. there's also some admirable ones. most of us have sizable chunks of both good and bad

[23:25:15] @ ski/rizon (also, by and large, women and weremen are different, in some respects, while also acknowledging that there's a large overlap, and a large spread of variation)

[23:29:29] @ ski/rizon to some extent, people have to be allowed to continue as they're doing, until they tire of it

[23:29:42] @ ski/rizon i don't think you're weird, sushi-chan

[23:30:14] @ ski/rizon i'd say my mother is probably more "extreme" than you, in some ways

[23:31:30] @ ski/rizon it's not that common to hear people voice such concerns publicly, true

[23:31:58] @ ski/rizon i remember chatting a little bit with an indian woman here, who declared herself to be anti-feminist

[23:32:35] @ ski/rizon my mom's pink

[23:33:21] @ ski/rizon it's mostly the media, and i guess also to some extent the higher social classes, which goes on that much about feminism, these days, afaict

[23:33:31] @ ski/rizon (well, including culture stuff with the media)

[23:36:00] @ ski/rizon iiuc, weremen "manspread", because they need ventilation around their testicles

[23:36:34] @ ski/rizon hehe, CrystalMath

[23:36:54] @ ski/rizon some appear to be in it, because it's hip

[23:37:10] @ ski/rizon i think people have mostly been like that, throughout all of history

[23:38:01] @ ski/rizon Icedream : reminds me of that vegan teacher, <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sZEQvF0wRY>

[23:38:28] @ ski/rizon sushi-chan : it's good to vent, now and then

[23:39:19] @ ski/rizon sushi-chan : for the most part, i think the more positive signs aren't that "loud", goes more under the radar (probably by necessity)

[23:40:02] @ ski/rizon it annoys me that shops here have started calling blood orange, "red orange"

[23:40:14] @ ski/rizon there's nothing offensive with having "blood" in the name

[23:40:37] @ ski/rizon blood grapefruit is also great

[23:41:05] @ ski/rizon sushi-chan : all the more reason to expose them to more such names, then !

[23:41:38] @ ski/rizon iirc, they only get that way, if there's frost

[23:42:42] @ ski/rizon crustaceans have almost haemoglobin .. but instead of iron in it, coloring it red, they have copper (iirc), coloring it blue-green

[23:42:55] @ ski/rizon also chlorophyll is similar, but with magnesium

[23:44:10] @ ski/rizon i wonder if they idea of nobles having blue blood comes from them not having to work in the fields, and so having more pale skin .. and in some cases, some may've had anaemia

[23:44:31] @ ski/rizon (istr hearing some "vampire" people may have had anaemia)

[23:44:53] @ ski/rizon sushi-chan : crabs, lobsters, ..

[23:47:52] @ ski/rizon CrystalMath : oh, octopi too ? cool :)

[23:49:00] @ ski/rizon could make them of transparent plastic, perhaps

[23:49:36] @ ski/rizon (apparently the game Dead or Alive has a waterslide thing)

[23:50:57] @ ski/rizon naked ?

[23:51:07] @ ski/rizon without paint ?

[23:52:18] @ ski/rizon Icedream : oh, i meant paint on the water slide

[23:52:45] @ ski/rizon Icedream : if you meant going nekkid into the water slide .. i suspect you might be able to flay some skin

[23:53:20] @ ski/rizon sushi-chan : well, if they could build a space elevator, why not a space water slide ?

[23:54:05] @ ski/rizon well, there's gravity .. it's just that you're in freefall

[23:54:19] @ ski/rizon same thing if you're on an aeroplane that's nosediving

[23:54:28] @ ski/rizon (people do that, to practice)

[23:55:28] @ ski/rizon Icedream : it sounds awkward. i imagine they have to use rubberband things around them, like they already do for gymming in space (which astronauts have to do, to not degenerate their muscle mass quite as quickly)

[23:55:52] @ ski/rizon sushi-chan : toilet also has to use vacuum

[23:56:02] @ ski/rizon and shower

[23:56:45] @ ski/rizon i guess they don't sharpen pencils in space, either

[23:57:45] @ ski/rizon .yt how to make a carpet with a loom in space no gravity

[23:58:28] @ ski/rizon .. i guess i'm actually normal
