yes China is going to lose this war on its doorstep. They're just going to give up. It's not impossible that China fucks up and loses a shitload of men and ships, but the more pressing issue is because of how dangerous that would be to them being as this is happening right there next to China, if they gently caress up then we go straight into ww 3. This doesn't end with a defanged China that see's the light and becomes a neoliberal democracy because they lost a few landing ships.

It lives on other people’s ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise.” For non-Australians, the Port of Darwin was leased to a Chinese company for 99 years in 2015. The Northern Territory government (where Darwin is), and the Federal Government all belonged to the same right wing political party at the time: the Coalition was in federal power from 1996 to 2007 and from 2013 to 2022. The then federal treasurer Scott Morrison, who later became Prime Minister in 2019, approved this lease to a Chinese Company. Coincidently, the Minister for Trade and Investment, Andrew Robb, resigned shortly after the lease was made, then immediately got a job working for the same company it was leased to. I'll just quote parts of the article as it's quite long, but corruption/incompetence seems to be the usual suspects. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-03-08/fact-check-scott-morrison-port-of-darwin-china-landbridge/100888740 quote:In October 2015, the Northern Territory government, led by the Country Liberal Party, sold a 99-year lease over land and operations of the Port of Darwin for $506 million to Landbridge Group, the Australian subsidiary of a Shandong-based energy and infrastructure group owned by Chinese billionaire Ye Cheng.

As far as Australia goes, the Collins-class itself is also been a mess with persistent maintenance issues going back to the early 2010s. There is talk of extending their service but they were always a lemon of a class to begin with.

Considering how utterly dependent we are on trade with China, leasing the port from a business viewpoint does make some sense per se. Given the whole Coalition's hysterical rhetoric of "When we're in power, it's very cool and super clever to lease ports to China, but if the other political party does exactly the same thing, they're evil monsters who hate Australia and have threatened our national sovereignty!", it's hilarious.

KomradeX posted:How does a person end up like this I got probed for pointing this out, but research suggests this, and the furry thing, is the result of autistic children hitting puberty and not being able to differentiate sexual ideation, the source of their sexual urges, from media they enjoy. If they hit puberty and start experiencing hormonal arousal, attraction, while watching anthropomorphized children’s cartoons, they direct the feelings towards the source of their other “good feelings”, because they can’t figure it out. Thus, furries, a fetishistic practice that is nigh universally composed of ASD people. Similarly, if they consume Japanese animation, they similarly confuse their bodies’ arousal caused by puberty, a “good feeling”, with the source of their other “good feelings”, Japanese cartoons, and direct their urges there. e: The reason these communities are not “just sexual”, as people are quick to jump all over in defence is the same as the cause, ASD. There’s a high prevalence of “asexuals” and so on. Essentially because they weren’t able to interpret sexual urges during puberty, many still can’t now, and their excitement and attraction, while rooted in sexual pathology, is not necessarily erotic. They don’t experience or understand their intense attachment to anthropomorphized animals or Japanese animation as rooted in sexuality, some don’t understand sexuality at all, so they aren’t lying, there are many people intensely involved in these fandoms for whom their participation is not sexual - per se.

mlmp08 posted:Which research? There’s been some work done on this since the 70’s at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and UofT. For example Sexual Behavior and Autism Spectrum Disorders: an Update and Discussion by Kellaher, Having highly restricted interests and having sensory peculiarities in ASD may possibly set the stage for developing fetishism and other paraphilias in individuals with certain sensory profiles among other factors. Non- sexual restricted, repetitive interests and behaviors in childhood may morph into sexualized, if not frank sexual, restricted, repetitive interests in adolescence. The same tactile or olfactory peculiarities manifested by various stereotypic behaviors seen in childhood may similarly influence the development of sexual behaviors later on. That is, early, inadvertent conditioning to sensory stimuli that is appealing during pre-puberty may lead to a powerful union between specific ASD sensory-seeking and sexual arousal through masturbation. This notion of early conditioning to deviant stimuli is not a new concept [51]; it just has not been isolated as a factor and empirically studied. For example, I evaluated a young man with ASD whose interest in wolves as a child transformed into a preferential canine zoophilia as an adolescent. During puberty, he began masturbating to depictions of females dressed up like wolves, known as “furries”, and shortly thereafter he switched to viewing online hardcore bestiality videos featuring dogs. One day he was arrested for climbing into a stranger’s yard and masturbating while touching a dog. This young man revealed his insatiable interest in wolves as a child and how he was drawn to the appearance of their soft fur. In adolescence, he began noticing the scrotums of large dogs and felt urges to touch them. He admitted that seeing and touching the fur and scrotum of a large wolf-like dog sexually excited him. As commonly observed among ASD individuals, he was particularly interested in sensory parts of ‘the whole’ for his sexual arousal. Eventually, this led to his offending behavior.

Yah the hypocrisy is funny but it was probably the best decision they made as a government. Leasing the port to a Chinese company is not just good business because that's who is using it but because they are very good at the technical/technological side of it too.

Autism is a spectrum. As with all paraphilia and fetishes, someone who is able to better regulate isn’t going to end up in front of a clinical psychologist for study.Tankbuster posted:like all good commonwealth officers, FF leads from the front and gets plugged. That would be an example of homosocial, and fragmentary homoerotic, but not necessarily homosexual, behaviour which Dixon identified as common among army officers in 1976. Which makes sense, because the love between therápontes is higher than base erotic attraction towards women. While the latter is hormonal and determined at birth, the former is cultivated through shared experience and is, in Lewis’ typology, agape, a higher expression of love than eros. You might marry a woman, but you’re not expected to regularly kill or die for them. It’s your therápontes with whom you have a real connection. The Elegiac Poems of Theognis give this a better treatment, but clearly gentlemen prefer bonds. DJJIB-DJDCT has issued a correction as of 12:39 on Mar 27, 2024 |

it cost 5 billion to build a smaller floating bridge in Seattle eight years ago. As someone who doesn’t know poo poo about bridges they seem easier to build than the big rear end bridge that collapsed. It wouldn’t surprise me if building giant bridges were lostech in America (repairing them seems to nearly be) so they’ll have to spend a few billion to rediscover the lost secrets of their ancestors

This is pulling a quote the sub-section labeled "deviant sexual behavior" describing one person among pulled from a table of "deviants," most of whom in the chart faced criminal charges. That's a hell of a sub-category. But the section leads off with this: quote:Several cases of deviant sexual behavior by ASD individuals have been published over the years, yet formal study of deviant sexual behavior in this group is lacking. One might say we are not there yet because we are still in an enlightenment era of collecting normative sexual data on ASD individuals. In due time, specific studies of deviant sexual behavior in ASD may yield information on the prevalence/epidemiology. I wouldn't select one sample of one person under such a heading and disclaimer to suggest a broad trend this way. Especially when the author is using a lot of "may/might" type words rather than stating levels of correlation more clearly. quote:Sexual Interest and Experience Also from the source you cited in your post: quote:The data is dispelling antiquated notions that ASD individuals are asexual, sexually unknowledgeable and inexperienced, and/or disinterested in relationships. We still have a ways to go in examining paraphilic or deviant arousal sexual behaviors among ASD individuals.

Yes, we were discussing a deviant. The question was “what makes someone like this?” where “this” was deviant, publicly eccentric, behaviour. You have the same style of argumentation for every quibble, so let me preempt you: If you’re interested in paraphilia, fetishistic behaviour, and ASD, you go over the research then come to a conclusion. It’s much easier than you disagreeing with a comment until you’re basically asking for peer reviewed sources anyway.

You made a very broad claim, said research backed it up, then provided a source that does not support your argument. That source responsibly has a ton of disclaimers about lack of academic rigor and insubstantial studies to draw well-researched conclusions. You chose to exclude that language from your broad claim. The source you listed also calls some of your claims up thread as “antiquated” and “dispelled” reference your views on asexuality and ASD. Either you are hastily reading/skimming or just selectively quoting to support your broad argument.
