    I had to noodle on this one for a while and ask around. I think, and this is only a guess, that this might be "consensual non-consent", which is a role play of sexual assault.

  • Im addicted to general zero hour, you can buy the cnc collection on steam and it runs fine.

    I wish EA wasn't so shit at programming, it crashes if you minimize the window. Or has a mismatch if theres to many units on the ground.

    Theres mods to fix issues, but i cant figure out how to make it work under wine.

    EA also open sourced the code and people are working on fixing bugs

    It's not necessarily role play of assault, though it can be that. It can also mean that blanket consent has been given ahead of time, and so the subject is unaware of what may happen to them or when, and by the nature of it can't give specific consent for any particular action. It can have to do with pushing/exploring boundaries, a power dynamic kink, or just enjoying the element of surprise, among others.

    If you're doing it right, consent can be withdrawn at any time via a pre-established non-verbal signal and/or safeword, and any bondage equipment will have safety releases.

    e: In case it's unclear, I just mean that the definition is more broad than that. I don't think there's anything wrong with role-playing assault.

    My partners into it. I'm into BDSM and it threw me off for a while. I think of it like the most extreme version of a sub/ dom sex play with roleplay. It's definitely something that requires a whole lot of forethought, communication, and most of all, CONSENT.

    Ironically a few years back I was starting a project at work and was told one of the machines was a "miyano" I didn't know what that was so I googled it... Entire first page of images was anime.

    Turns out it was a 12 axis lathe...

    Yeah it's not something you program repeatedly though. You basically program once and hit a button and walk away and it will make hundreds to thousands of whatever.

    My understanding was you basically programmed it in steps. So like on step 1 operation on one bit, on other bit at same time run this operation and on third bit run this operation at same time. Now when all of those operations are complete move to step 2 and repeat.

    To make it more difficult there was also an automatic bar loader and a automatic bucket changer(it dumped the parts into buckets).

    Also to make it run fast you tried to balance each axis operations in a each step so no axis was ever stopped waiting for the other operations but you also had to stop them periodically to control heat and not break the bits since due to the products we were not allowed to use coolant.

    It took 3 senior engineers and 2 junior engineers 2 years to set it up to make 3 different products reliably. It was awesome when it eventually ran properly though.

    We don't talk to police, we don't make a peace bond.
    We don't trust in the judicial system, we shoot guns.
    We rely on the streets though we do battle in the hood.
    I was born in the G Code, embedded in my blood.

    I literally do not understand the meme. Is the first meaning of CNC something sexual?

    Consensual non consent.

    Also known, or formerly known as rape play.

    It's more blunt, but people who have been raped would point out that there's a big difference between the sexual nature of consensual non consent, and the objectively violent nature of rape.

    It's less that it's less honest than that it's more clear about what it is, and what it isn't. It's about what people think rape is about, and not what it actually is: angry, hateful and violent.

    But consensual non consent as well as rape can be soft

    Eg free use -> CNC

    Or use of power, like financial dependency -> rape

    That's fair, and a good example on the first one.

    I don't really care to quibble on the details too much, but I believe a lot of definitions would distinguish the coercive from the forcible.

    In either case, it speaks to the cnc phrase being more apt than otherwise.

    Well I needed someone to explain consentual non consent to me because its not really logical, and I didnt need rape play explained to me, so there's that. Seems sort of silly we needed a politically correct term for it in the first place.

    You do know that no one made them switch terms right? The people doing it and using the term decided to change it because it made it more clear when they were talking to each other.
    Since you hadn't encountered the idea before, I don't think they're super concerned about their sex lives being easy to explain to you. Your opinion isn't super relevant to other people's sexual preferences or the words they use to talk about it to each other.

    Yeah, feels about right. I actually did develop in c# once and I hated that I was bound to the shitty microsoft tools. They were open source and baack then I didn't really know linux, but I hated them. Just clunky.

    Joke in the OP: misunderstanding a sexual acronym (Consensual Non Consent) as a normal one (Computer Numerical Control).

    This is what I’m referring to.
