~~Computer Numerical Control~~ Consensual Non-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...

Anyone asking me for CNC, will be pleasantly surprised when a truck arrives with an 5-axis Fanuc.

You just have a spare $100,000 laying around?

If you weren't eating so many goddamn avocado toasts, you would, too.

I had to come to the comments to find out what she meant. CNC fabrication was the only thing I could think of.

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

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago (20 children)

Consensual non consent.

Also known, or formerly known as rape play.

[–] Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

And let me guess, it's not called that anymore because 1. it's not really rape 2. it got mixed up too often and then people got soft on it?

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm not sure if the details around it. Not my cup o tea

Meh, as kinks go thats pretty common

[–] Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, but I don't know if the interest is then as common to be interested in it's history to such an extend that you know stuff like that.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Sorry I'm not understanding what you mean... (I'm pretty sick right now so it could just be me being dumb)

[–] Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's been going around here as well.

I meant that while I'm sure a lot of people have the kink, not many may be interested in it's history, such that they are capable of talking about the reasons why it is not called rapeplay anymore.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I can see how that might be the case. Thanks for helping me out

[–] Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Crazy you feel obliged to say thank you for such a small act. Makes me think about our anonymous individual-based society.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

...I didn't feel obligated.

I felt thankful and thought it would be nice to let you know that.

Edit: also you seemed to show some empathy and took the time to comment that illness is also plaguing your area, so it seemed like you were an emphatic person to some degree. Thought you might be receptive and appreciate knowing.

Was a little thing, just a few words, and ,selfishly, if a few words hello you have a better day, even for just a literal moment, that makes me feel good so it really isn't a bother to state my honest feelings.

Not a big deal but im happy to have an honest interaction even if it is to someone I'll likely never see or come across again.

Cheers

[–] Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hey man, no hard feelings to you. It was a nice gesture. Though I did indeed not think about the illness part. Much love sent your way. I see nothing you did wrong in particular.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh no hard feelings here! Sorry if it came off that way.

Then your humbleness and niceness was what had confused me. You wonder where this kindness comes from, next to a state of moron and bullies.

Could be worse.

"Babe, I wanna try CBT."

"Sorry, hon; we can't afford insurance."
