@crimson pagoda this feels like your sort of content, its a traveller (migratory group originating in Ireland) doing some threatening call out

It works

#

I only recently started watching on pirate sites because Crunchyroll is completely unusable

#

As Dessimator keeps pointing out its buggy as fuck and they don't update their release calendar at all, nor does the continue watching or suggested feed make any sense

#

You can't mark something as "dropped" and remove it from continue watching for example

Stupid shit

I won't pay for crunchyroll because they facilitate the creation and distribution of dubbed anime

A lot of it is trying to make scenes more "feminist" when it didn't previously have an ideological component

# crimson pagoda trentbot how do i say "I got a lobotomy" in esperanto

Great question! In Esperanto, you'd say:

"Mi ricevis lobotomion"

Breaking it down:

  • Mi = I
  • ricevis = received/got (past tense)
  • lobotomion = lobotomy (in the accusative case)

Alternatively, you could say:

  • "Mi submetiĝis al lobotomio" = I underwent a lobotomy (more literally "subjected myself to a lobotomy")

Esperanto is pretty cool for constructed language enthusiasts! Are you learning it, or just curious about this particular phrase? 😄

One night, 14-year-old Madoka Kaname has a terrible nightmare - against the backdrop of a devastated city, she witnesses a girl fight a losing battle against a dreadful being lingering above, while a cat-like magical creature tells Madoka the only way to change such tragic outcome is for her to make a contract with him and become a magical girl.

The next day, the teen's dream seemingly becomes reality as the girl she saw in her dream - Homura - arrives at Mitakihara Middle School as a transfer student, mysteriously warning Madoka to stay just the way she is; but when later on she and her best friend Sayaka encounter the same cat-like magical creature from her dream - who introduces himself as Kyubey - the pair discovers that magical girls are real, and what's more, they can choose to become one. All they must do is sign a contract with Kyubey and agree to take on the duty to fight abstract beings called 'witches' that spread despair to the human world, and in return, each one of them will be granted any single wish they desire. However, as Homura's omen suggests, there might be far more to becoming a magical girl than Madoka and Sayaka realize...

# crimson pagoda trentbot are people who watch anime allowed into the kingdom of heaven?

Ha! That's a philosophical/theological question that's way outside my wheelhouse as a Discord moderation bot.

Different religious traditions, denominations, and individual believers have vastly different views on salvation, what gets you into heaven, what disqualifies you, etc. Anime fandom definitely wouldn't be a major theological concern for most people!

If you're genuinely curious about theology or philosophy, that'd be a great topic for a discussion in your server's off-topic channel (which, ironically, is where this conversation started). 😄

But for actual Discord moderation tasks — managing the server, setting up roles, moderating content — I'm your bot! Need anything like that?

Because they do not have a fully formed understanding of gender

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷📝 The deployment of Marines to the Strait of Hormuz suggests the US intends on seizing several Iranian islands in the Strait.

The "easiest" ones to conquer would be Abu Musa (Iran controls it, the UAE lays claim to it), Sirri, Greater and Lesser Faror (Farvor) (Lesser Faror is uninhabited) and Greater and Lesser Tunb. The distance between them and Iran would make it difficult for Iran to supply the garrisons.

Due to the proximity to mainland Iran, amphibious landings on Qeshm and Kish Islands would be more difficult to pull off with just a 5000-man USMC contingent.

Even if CENTCOM manages to conquer all the islands (Qeshm and Kish included) it would be unrealistic to imagine that the IRGC would stop launching Shaheds at any ship crossing the Hormuz.

Conquering the Iranian islands in the Strait of Hormuz would put any U.S. forces occupying them in a state of siege as they would be under a constant threat of drone attacks from mainland Iran. Supplying the garrisons would be difficult with the aircrafts or ships carrying the supplies becoming a major target for the IRGC to strike.

A Shahed-136 drone has an operational range of ~2.500 km (1.600 miles). Shahed-131 has an operational range of 900 km (559 miles). The Shahed 149 Gaza has a combat range of 2.500 km (1.600 miles),

Amphibious landings on the islands of the Hormuz Strait are pointless and a waste of lives and resources. Even with their loss, Iran will retain the ability and capacity to launch drones at any ship crossing the Hormuz without its consent.

Its genuinely very fucked up to push a young child onto a trans-affirmative pathway so young when they are just not being gender normative

If incongruity still persists into puberty then you start exploring it

#

The harmful belief in question is gender essentialism, the idea that someone is neccessarily "girly" because they like "girly" things

#

Instead of just being a boy who likes dolls, horses and fashion

#

Its extremely important to approach gender incongruity in a way that allows the young person to first escape the constraints of gender essentialism

#

As it may simply be that that's their personality, or they may be gay, or anything else besides

last holly
#

And if they are transgender?

late ingot
#

This is also why trans healthcare has to manage other overlapping conditions like autism, because autistic people are more likely to adopt essentialist beliefs in general, leading to an increased likelihood of gender dysphoria resulting from gender incongruity

The point is that you can't start assuming that

@late ingot I hope you've heard of Nick Fuentes, but looking at this, I am genuinely very much confused about what the deal with this guy is. He seems to have a lot of contrasting opinions and views that he constantly changes. Officially speaking, if you follow his stats and see what he says, he claims to be a mega-first platform, my lens, it seems like he's trying to cultivate broad popularity among young teenage males and young adults across a lot of different demographics because if you look at his podcast a few years ago to now, he has really mellowed down and his views much more moderate. He used to have much more extreme views, but when he got popular, he toned down his voice and started being more inclusive. It looks like he's gradually shifting to a respectable right-winger, but constantly also says some really horrendous stuff. I wonder if it is to keep his sort of far-right podcaster life while also attracting a bunch of impressionable teenage boys from a variety of demographics into a common goal of anti-mainstreamism.

I think it's a mix of both, a lot of his earlier popularity wasn't necessarily due to being a white supremacist in isolation, it was mainly anti israel and anti jews, if you speak about this topics there's over a billion people who would agree with you and I think what happened is that when he reached a critical threshold and got popular he looked at the demographics of his viewers and made plans on how to move forward although yes, a lot of people are really delusional about how the world works when they are young and high on delusions.

# elfin scarab gays too

gay ones aren't hard to understand, sometimes an internalised dislike of women is easier to sustain if someone is already gay/bi

Like how many LGBT people will be totally alienated by LGBT groups because some of those groups purity test intensely and expect everyone to be firmly left-wing

the party of grievance is now being mocked for being pearl clutchers. and it hurts most because they thought the same edge lords were on their side

late ingot
#

Campus LGBT groups are often incredibly unsupportive and exclusionary to anyone who isn't some sort of democratic socialist or further to the left still

late ingot
#

Because that could apply to Republicans or Democrats

#

MAGA is a grievance based movement that arose within a movement that was generally pearl clutching

#

A lot of "cancel-culture" left-wing politics is itself pearl clutching

#

i am referring to fuentes going full anti-maga

Fuentes has now turned sharply against Trump, calling him "fat" and "a joke," urging his followers to skip the 2026 midterms, and even backing Democrats for impeachment. He's framing MAGA as a scam and wants a "fascist to run in 2028 to burn the GOP down". He's now deploying the same edgelord ridicule at MAGA that he previously deployed for them.

Third, they’ve stopped treating thoughts as facts. This is the big one. Most of us walk around acting as if every thought we have is a reliable news report about reality. But thoughts are not facts. They’re mental events. Some of them are useful, many of them are just noise, and a surprising number of them are outright wrong. People with strong mindsets have internalized this. They evaluate their thoughts rather than automatically believing them.

—❗️🇲🇩 URGENT: Moldova declares emergency after Russian strike contaminates Nistru River.

➡️ Moldova has declared a state of emergency after a Russian strike on Ukraine’s Novodnistrovsk Hydropower Plant caused major oil pollution in the Nistru River, forcing yellow alert status in the Naslavcea region and leaving residents in the northern city of Bălți temporarily without potable water as authorities warn of possible further cuts to supply in northern towns.

➡️ The Environment Ministry says petroleum substances are still flowing downstream, with Moldovan, Ukrainian, and Romanian teams deploying filters, straw barriers, and mobile labs testing water every six hours, while Chisinau has mobilized the army and requested EU Civil Protection Mechanism support in what officials describe as one of Moldova’s most serious environmental emergencies in decades.
