I see that the "No Imouto pics" tag has been removed from all the Junior Idols threads. Did I miss something, or did they just silently move completely back in the green? =D By the way, could you guys restore the Junior Idol Wallpapers thread now? That was easily my favorite and I was really...

I find it really amusing that a guy can get arrested for creating images based on images published, presumably legally, in magazines.

I'm just a realist at heart. You should know that by now. =P

Somehow, I feel like one day we'll be having arguments about clones the same way we did about black people/slavery and the same way we do now about homosexuals. Don't forget, a clone may be a clone, but is in every way another human being. They would deserve the same civil liberties and rights...

I think you missed the point. The law may be the law, but I have no respect for a law that attempts to restrict forms of expression and basic human freedoms, like what you can say, what you can think, what you can read, etc. Because, come on, that's not law, that's mind control.

And so continues the war on bullshit. What's funny is that the anti-loli proposed bills in Japan itself, which could potentially classify hentai as child pornography, have recently been pulled back for review, thanks to a move by mangaka Ken Akamatsu. Here is a Sankaku Complex article about it.

My hypothesis is that people are starting to get fed up with shitty American music that has been coming out for the past few years and have turned to overseas sources for music. There's nothing denying the possibility that the increase in sales in Japan may have been largely accelerated from...

You'd think at least some of the guys would be walking around with their dicks exposed. I guess there's still some modesty at such a festival.

That was probably the crappiest trailer ever. Aside from that, though, the topics they intend to cover seem pretty interesting.

Yeah, actually, I would be totally fine with that. This is not child porn, end of story, and whether the kid is male or female has no effect on that. Heck, it'd probably even be more acceptable with reversed genders, since dudes' tits aren't considered to be "private parts" the way they are...

... Are you kidding me? This passes as child porn these days?.

Well, yes, but there is a limit on that retouching. Otherwise, they risk being sued for fraud, when the woman finally meets the guy and find he looks nothing like his profile picture. =P

Those guys are actually pretty hot. I wonder if they actually look that way in person. In comparison, the girls at Moedate... some are pretty good, but some don't even show their faces? And Soine-ya lacks a gallery altogether. Kinda feels like we guys are getting the short end of the stick here.

I'm wondering a couple of things. 1. Since the thing floats, it must be airtight. If it's airtight, how much air supply does it have? How long would four people survive in there without opening the door? 2. The pod can survive a drop of 25 meters, but can a person (or four) inside survive the...

Mostly this thread.

I wouldn't be so quick to call it a psychological disorder, but they do have a bit of a point. They are being overly paranoid and letting the past, including past meltdown incidents like Chernobyl and the atomic bomb incidents, cloud their judgments about the current situation. IMO that does...

It's so unreal that we're already rapidly approaching the 1-year anniversary of the event.

Hm, I always assumed Ceewan was Australian for some reason. Anyway, interesting article, even more interesting that you post it now, because there's a large convention going on in my city this weekend. And yes, them lolis.

UK21 - Are you talking about another comet? The one in question right now supposedly has an orbit of about 10 000 years.

Great work, RollyCo. Dunno if it's just me, but it feels like the whole site takes twice as long to load pages as it used to... I have yet to run into 503/502, but I've only been around for about 15 minutes collectively so far. Edit: Spoke too soon, heh. Nevermind the no 502/503 thing. Edit...

Thanks, guy. That's good info. Sometimes I feel like you're keeping the sanity. Like a peacekeeper with a different target. Funny you say that, since I'm sure you don't personally know any newscasters that you'd otherwise gets news from, either. =P Or perhaps "strangers" isn't quite the right...

I want to ask how the Fukushima reactors are doing. On another forum I frequent, there's one particular member who claims to be living in Japan, and is going on and on about meltdowns and how the whole thing is gonna end up like Chernobyl. TEPCO hasn't released anything reporting anything like...

^ That was an interesting read, thank you. The search link is there (which is why it's in the list), but I didn't see if it was a drop-down or link, if that's what you meant. Otherwise, that explanation makes a lot of sense. Midori is a relatively uncommon browser, which also explains a lot.

Let's see, it seems I've been slightly misunderstood, where to start... I guess right from the top. A reactor built like Chernobyl is 100% illegal because Chernobyl ignored many key concepts. The key one is that Chernobyl was designed so that reactions in its core would speed up as the...

That's excellent news, guy. If this keeps up, the reactors will no longer be a problem in just a couple more days. I have to say it's rather sad that there is pandemonium in other countries (stupid media) on this whole situation, while Japan's doing quite well in comparison. Rather than...

It's been a few days since they started dumping seawater. Where have you been, man? Totally agree. I would love to just sit at my computer all day reading and posting in this thread, but I do have my daily life to take care of...

Heh, make sure you keep beefed up on iodine. As for the radiation levels, I'm not worried at all myself. It was just a heads-up that Tokyo would be getting some. Best of luck, everyone in Japan. Edit: At above comment, I would sooner trust my source. These are the Japanese we are talking...

I heard it's been put out already. Good work. Live updates here: http://www.educatedearth.net/nuclearjapan.php My friend just shared it with me. It seems to be running on Eastern Daylight Time (EDT - GMT-5h - Canada/US). Apparently Tokyo is going to receive some low-level radiation very soon...

No, that's a good direction to go in, assuming they know what they are doing. The nuclear reactors that already exist in China are probably very old now and very prone to accidents. Building some new ones with better accident prevention and robustness, etc. and shutting down old ones is a good...

Man, this is ridiculous. From what I could tell, when the power plant was initially hit, and even several hours later, with proper management it would have survived. Where are the engineers? Edit: Oh man, did the grid get knocked out? All you members from Japan suddenly went offline.

I don't have much time right now so I'm not going to browse the entire forum to see if this bug was reported already. I quickly went down the first page and didn't see it. Certain browsers show a different menu bar at the top than others. AFAIK the normal one is supposed to have: User...

Haha, oh man, Japan is run by idiots. Doesn't really help when the rest of the world is too... I don't see why they can't see that any regulation they bring out goes against the universal basic Charter of Rights and Freedoms (or whatever they called it back then... I haven't studied it in a long...

Hmm, could use a little work. Somehow it seems more transparent in the first video than the second... But if it does end up working perfectly, say hello to a new stalking era!

Damn, some really cool stuff here. I'd have to protest the keyboard of the iWeb. I think many would agree that a keyboard with vertically aligned keys would be a bit annoying to get used to. Most keyboards have their rows shifted relative to each other for ease of typing. I dislike the...

The whole situation with regards to the anime industry is just getting worse and worse. This is even dumber than the anime/manga ban. The only way to fully remove so-called "illegal distribution" is to shut down telecommunications entirely, which would, ironically, cease legal...

*bump* So, to the Japanese members (*coughguycough*), any news on this?

I'm almost wishing for Japan to hurry up and plunge into depression already so that whoever made the bill will realize its stupidity. Oh well, at least you guys will have cheap stuff for a while. The good part of economic recession is that everything becomes far cheaper. Our gas prices went...

Well, I didn't do that, I just linked the article, so nothing was lost. =P

Heh, I beat you to it by about 20 min. Edit: Threads have been merged, link doesn't work anymore.

Bad news for anime/manga lovers? Sankaku reports a new anime/manga ban in Japan. I feel inclined to swear/rant but will refrain from doing so.
