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

Me too 😆
Just wanted to say that's an amazing emoticon.
They are built into the Voyager app! (☝︎ ՞ਊ ՞)☝︎
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.
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?
I'm not sure if the details around it. Not my cup o tea
Pretty niche topic
Meh, as kinks go thats pretty common
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.
Sorry I'm not understanding what you mean... (I'm pretty sick right now so it could just be me being dumb)
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.
I can see how that might be the case. Thanks for helping me out
Crazy you feel obliged to say thank you for such a small act. Makes me think about our anonymous individual-based society.
...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
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.
I feel like calling it rape play is just more honest.
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.

Computerized non-consent.
Heheheheheheheheheheheheehehehheehhehehe I can't stop grinning
I'm sorry, I'll turn the computer off. I didn't realize it was still running.
That's actually horrific. Pleasure to death by rounding error was not on my bingo card.
Yeah, sorry. I thought the cnc machine had better failsafes, but I had to code some of it in c# so...
I hate c# for some reason, but I can't remember why. Kind regards, Java dev.
I think its the proprietary ms one that only runs 100% right¹ on windows.
¹or is supposed to-windows is windows and wine exists.
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.
The comments prove this is the most relatable meme of all time
I'm a woman and That's what i thiught too. Is there a sexual conotation to cnc? Maybe that's why my sex life is shit
No. It's shit because you don't have enough CNC hardware to attract a lover.
Makes sense. I bought a fucking 3d printer instead of investing on a cnc. I'm dumb

consensual nonconsent, aka rape kink
wtf
It can be really fun. But the "rape" is misguided, some like the "rape kink" but CNC is not only this.

Why is it ALWAYS CNC?
It's like the DNS of sexual fantasies for women.
Because total submission is hot.
Because being wanted so much that somebody is willing to throw away their common ethical code is hot.
Because rough sex is hot.
Because doing these things in a safe space with somebody you actually fully trust is really hot.
Have you touched a CNC tool tip right after a non-watercooled job?
I bet it's really hot.
I just came.
Porque no los dos?
I've found that subs really dig it when you've machined your own spanky tools...
Also, HAAS are some jank ass machines. Tiny ways, newer controls are glitter covered shit, they fucked up the remote handwheel...
