Do you have any gay porn where the guys have boobs and vaginas but still have penises
>>695931784
No Ayy lmao we don't have herm
>>695931857
>>695931784
No, this is s/fur
>>695932089
>>695932113
Then why did he post a gay porn
>>695932188
Accident
>>695932175
>>695932188
because it's hard to tell from thumbnails if your collection isn't organized
>>695932304
So your telling me you accidentally went into you're gay porn folder and clicked an image?
>>695932429
If your going to post off-topic stuff and keep blaming it on accidents then i think you shouldnt be posting images in this thread. If everyone did that it wouldnt be sfur
>>695932446
I didn't but >>695932429 was the one who posted it and he coroberated my hypothesis.
Now that that's out of the way we can conclude this interplanetery communication as I'm sure the tone ing charges on Ceres are out of this world.
>>695931587
Ridiculuously soft and cuddly, such a shame that it ends this way
>where are my fantastically soft cuddlebuddies? Why are you keeping fantastically soft cuddlebuddies from me? All I want is to habe such a creature/creatures to wake up to. Why is it so hard to acquire such a furrtastic mate? Most of the things these people create are worthy of the "horrible autism" tag, but everyojne neeeds cuddles too
>>695932677
Then see >>695932542
It takes like 20 minutes to organize your stuff even if you have a few hundred images. If hes not willing to do that then he can simply not post in it
>>695932429
>>695932542
it wasn't me, it was SharkBellyGuy. Also, mistakes fucking happen. Just scroll past it if you don't like it
>>695932677
I posted g/fur? where? I need to know what picture had it so I can categorize it better
>>695930789
>working on a graphic novel

Smth sounds off. Is the aim fur it to become a business eventually tho?
>>695932821

I've been part of these threads for well over 5 years. Show me where I posted it, and I will put it in the correct folder. I don't even have a g/fur folder, since I don't frequent those boards, but I only save images I like, so I must have made a mistake. Show me the post that was g/fur, and I will make a separate folder for it entirely so you can stop bitching about it
>>695932821
>>695932953
Again, tell me what post it was. If it was in the last thread, it's still active. I looked back through all my posts and didn't find any g/fur.
>>695932821
Oh wait it wasn't you either.
Hmm so it would seem the guy who accidently posted it isn't comeing forward, not that it matters I didn't even notice it.
Anyway you are arguing with herm guy, he's not serious in anything he says he just argues to get attention and says things to get attention and was established a few days ago to be a salt based alien from Ceres, just ignore him and continue posting as usual.
>>695933170

The graphic novel is not furry no, the other stuff is vore centric but I have done a couple furry.
It's not a buisness as it dosnt offer a service it's a non profit reserch program, however in the future money could be made off of some of the components being worked on now but the money would go right back into the program.

Ah, deNilists

I see feminine-shaped eyes, and nothing to say whether it's a man or woman. Someone probably saved that and didn't even look at the watermark. Honestly, if I saw that, I wouldn't know the difference. Making a deal out of it doesn't mean anything, but if you're butthurt about a nondescript image of a purple canine with feminine eyes giving a blowjob because you don't like the watermark, then you don't have any business telling regulars that they shouldn't post in these threads.

It's sadder when you realise he has been doing this in threads every day for over a year.
Every day
Over a year
Something is broken with him, OCD Autism or some mental disorder but what ever it is it allows him to justify spending this much time acting like a child on a generic image board.

He's a troll and you are playing into his hand.

What if they have penises and vaginas biologically?

So, what attracted you all to the furry world¿?
As for me, it started with the fascination when I was a kid, a way to escape our cruel world. What got me hooked was the awesome movies, secret of nimh, the rescuers, Disneys robin hood...
Adult Art wise, I love the ones that show passion and love, and of course pretty.

Yeah, a lot of it is just theory work atm but we are currently working on sounding rockets for near space reaserch and I'm building a full body pressure suit for a manned suborbital flight sometime in 10 years or less depending on funding.
I also correspond with others in the aerospace on a few other more out there projects, like I wrote a paper for objective europa and had a long email back and forth with a professor at UCSB on intersteller micro photon sail probes. I also submitted a paper to Ad Astra rocket company involving an improved magneto plasma engine but that's very much in need of more work.

For me I guess it's a comfort/exclusivity thing. Also, the art is much better than any other form of drawn pornography. It brings something to the term "foxy". Also, Minerva from the Looney Toons.

Why wouldn't I take an issue with such an ignorant and uneducated statement? All Lives Matters is bullshit. And I don't mean it in the way that all lives are worthless. No, I think everyone recognizes that all lives are worth something and deserve equality. However, ignoring the issues regarding the problems and the way black people are treated and sweeping it under the rug with ignorant statements like that really pisses me off.
To my analogue I made back then. Imaging the doctor tells you that all ills matter or whatever instead of checking you for the condition that is troubling you.
It's just ignorance, plain and simple.
>>695939303
>>695939276
this is fucking adorable
>>695938600
None, really. I've been actually tested
>>695939157
Yeah more space components, some aviation related things like rotor decent and fixed wing drones but most of that is drawing board "fun to think about" ideas, the acual being constructed and tested stuff right now is space related hardware.
Acualy in a bit of a jam as we need a new metal layth to make larger components.
>>695939395
Lets face it, no lives matter we're all going to die and there's noticing we can do about it. So while we have such a short time frame on earth we shouldn't spend it arguing over whose lives matter more than other. Fuck it all we all go out the same way. Lets just enjoy Arby's instead.
Hope you all get fucking terminal cancer and die slowly and painfully by yourself while you hold your dick in your right hand while browsing 4chan with your left since you probably don't get any pussy anyways
>>695939395
I agree with this. Historically and in the modern era, the amount of unjustifiable action taken against the black population is disproportionate and honestly sickening to say the least. And the fact that the Black Lives Matter movement has been backhanded by the political desires of the GOP within the All Lives Matter movement, solely to undermine the progressive nature of the movement and left-wing support for it, is terrible and a shameful part of the nation
>All Lives Matter
>especially undeveloped embryos
>especially white people
>especially rich white people
>>695939937
You people are the fucking scum of the world. No wonder you don't have any friends or anyone who actually loves you. It's actually ironic that none of you will ever even have a baby. Does it make you die a bit inside to know that you had one fucking job in life, to reproduce, and you still managed to fail miserably in it? I hope it does. You will never feel the touch of a woman, nobody will ever say "I love you" or look into your eyes and trust you. You are all worthless. You are less than worthless.

Why do people act like ignorance is the only reason some people disparage the blm movement? I fully understand and condone the treatmeant of blacks today, those disgusting fucking apes have such a fucking unreasonable amount of violent crime committed its indefensible. You can say what you want, but the FACT is if you remove blacks from any environment, it becomes SUBSTANTIALLY safer than if any other ethenicitty was removed. So tell me your enlightened opinion on why I should suck sjw dick and literally put myself and my peers in double digits % of increased threat, just to make some shitskins feel welcome, which they are not?

To be fair nothing short of computers are capable of universal 100% peace, all biological things will fight and kill.
I am hopefully the humane race as a whole can achieve a sense of peace but crime will always exist. Historicly we have been getting more peaceful as we advance advanced technicly are living in the most peaceful time yet when compared to our history. If the trend continues we should reach a state of relitivly global peace at some point.
This isn't opinions this is trends that are well documented.
>>695940970
The sad truth is that people don't realize religion is a false promise in this great big unknown around us. That and there aren't enough Arby's. moral of the story: enjoy Arby's while your short life plays out.

>>695940692
The modern environment of blacks today is a result of decades and decades of oppression. You think slavery is going to rise people up in the economic ladder? You think segregation and Jim Crowd laws set in motion to keep blacks down helped? The fact is you have a minority that historically has suffered greatly. It's the reason we see so many downtrodden black communities.

Assume world peace simply meant a world w/out war. Consider that humans (and some claim ants) are the only species that war so in this equation a world w/out humans was a world w/out war and, finally, a world w/ prevailing peace

If the humanoid things you posted had human intelligence I bet my last dollar they would go to war over the same reason people go to war in the real world.
The hole black movement is a joke!
They really think they had it hard? BULLSHIT! The Jews where tortured to death in unimaginable means and nearly wiped off the face of the earth. You don't hear them bitching, no, they bust their asses to become lawyers or doctors, not all of them, but a majority do.
I would mention Indians as well but they are rich beyond needing to work and are all alcoholics.
Most blacks dont want to work and want everything given to them. They choose a life of crime, they choose to kill each other.
You hear me you whiney black fucks?! If you want things to change then you need to change. Stop killing each other you ignorant fuckheads. Pull your pants up, read a book, finish school and go to collage [if you want to]. Don't blame society if you decided to drop out of school and act like a thug and kill your neighbor because he stepped on your shoe.
/end rant
>>695942826
Build the wall :D
>>695941561
You are trolling right? No wait, you are black? Ah man I'm sorry, but heres the truth. Every single race in history has been the victim of enslavement, many races suffered systematic slavery on a scale much longer term and wide scale than blacks. Yet, it is only the American Black who belives that they have been irrevocably affectes by it. Basically, American Blacks have sat on their ass for a century crying about inequality like they are the only people in history who have suffered, and all the while every other race in every nation on earth has a history of war, famine, slavery, etc. Did those people throw up their hands and say "Wait, we had some hardship, give us some leverage so we can keep up"? The only thing unique to the modern black is their amazing ability to squander what they are given, steal iPhones and shoes in the name of "just trying to get by when the white man holds me down", and generate huge amounts of pity by being pussies. There are many many great black people alive today, and none of them are the ones at the BLM rallies screaming at strangers they don't know that they need to stop being racist.
>>695942499
The sad thing is that although national war is on the decline and other forms of violence as well, religious based violence has peeked this year.
So over all we are becoming a more peaceful species but that one little aspects seems to be ruining it for everyone.
So we could solve a lot of our problems by tipping our fedora hard.
Also animals kill eatchother all the time over food mates and territory so without humans we wouldent have global conflict but conflict would always exist, that's just biology.
>>695942826
Thank you so much. Every time this arguement is brought up its defended with "No but are you aware of slavery and institutionalized racism?" Like it's some secret only blacks can see. They have absolutely no idea of history, and the ENORMOUS gaps in crime per captia; blacks are at least oblivious and destructive ,at worst a plague that literally ruins any environment they inhabit.

>>695942953
What is this "longer and wider scale"?
Do you not realize how damaging the trans-atlantic slave trade was towards blacks?
I implore you to read on it, it's very horrifying the hardship blacks had to suffer for centuries. Chattel slavery was a whole different animal and the effect slavery had on Africa was huge. It literally tore up populations, made people go to war to defend themselves from black and white slavers and the hardship faces by American blacks during slavery and post slavery is very tragic.

Yeah radical Islam is the majority but problems like the situation in Isreal and the ocasional issues relating to christianity and what not, Islam is the biggest problem but the abrahamic religions are all a problem in their own ways.
Which makes sense as Islam jeudeism and christianity are all the same religion from different perspective.

That's where your problem is. Your thinking is limited to your own species and you cannot think outside that box. You have the false assumption that 'human' is the only 'intelligent' creature and therefure the definitions of 'intelligence' and an 'intelligent creature' were analogue w/ 'human'

Even IF, everything you said was true and the worst tragedy in human history, it still doesn't even defend your point. Are you saying trans Atlantic slavery centuries ago justifies Tyrone, born and raised free in modern America, to have a criminal record 5 times longer than a white youth his age? Does the hardship and tragedy they endured mean its ok that they murder at such a rate that if they made up the same % of population as whites, they're would be thousands of murders in America per day? This is my point, you see an injustice committed by these people and you immediately try and defend it as "No see they had it really does rough and that FUCKS you up for generations, so just let them commit 7 times more violent crimes than 60% of the population (whites)". So you not only try and argue that two wrongs make a right, you STILL want to overlook the fact that 1. Everything I said about other races is true. 2. Africans had been and are still enslaving (black populations are actually the greatest contributors to modern day slavery) long before whites showed up, and 3. Only blacks have devoted so much time and energy to whining about inequality instead of changing it, I mean ffs we have actual GENERATIONS that base their identity on something that didn't even happen to their Grandparents.

I'm not justifying murder or crime. I'm trying to frame the reason WHY the black community is in that condition. You can't look at something without framing it in its proper context, fam.
Again on slavery, I will put this snipit out
The Atlantic slave trade had a catastrophic and permanent effect on western and central Africa. One of the common misconceptions (and one repeated in a now-deleted comment) is that a slave trade already existed in Africa, so the trans-Atlantic trade couldn't have had significant negative effects. That's entirely wrong. To give an analogy, it's like comparing the quilts your grandmother sells on Etsy with the product of Pendleton Woolen Mills. They operate on entirely different scales.
One of the things you'll read again and again when you study the history of the trans-Atlantic slave trade is the idea that it was a "transformative event." The transformation thesis says African slavery over the past millennium (this includes the Islamic slave trade) has altered African history more than any other event.
Just look at the scale of the trans-Atlantic trade: 5.5 million slaves to Brazil, 6 million to the British Caribbean and Guyanese colonies, half a million to the North American mainland. If you imagine a West African population of 50 million in the 18th century, this is an extraordinary fraction of the region's people, one of the largest mass migrations in world history.
As Paul Lovejoy explicitly stated in 1989: "The European slave trade across the Atlantic marked a radical break in the history of Africa, most especially because it was a major influence in transforming African society."
One of the books I have on my shelf is a collection of essays entitled The Atlantic Slave Trade: Effects on Economies, Societies, and Peoples in Africa, the Americas, and Europe..

The first four essays in the book are devoted to the effects of the slave trade on African society. It's an older book (the essays are from a 1988 conference) but they're still reliable, I believe.
The first of the four essays, by Martin Klein, discusses the impact of the trade on the societies of the Western Sudan. He discusses how theorists believe the slave trade "contributed to a quest for arms" in western Africa. Not only did people have an economic interest to collect slaves, they also were determined to defend themselves from others who might enslave them. Focus on warfare encouraged famine and starvation, disrupted trade routes and led to a more impoverished life.
The constant need for more slaves meant warfare was a permanent fact of life. If you believe Clausewitz and his theory that warfare is simply an extension of politics, and that wars end when the political situation is resolved, slavery upends this theory. It creates an atmosphere and need for permanent warfare.
Sylvane Diouf, in a collection of essays called Fighting the Slave Trade: West African Strategies discusses how Africans attempted (sometimes successfully) to resist slavers and their lackeys. As /u/sowser stated in a comment not too long ago, "What historians find time and time again stands out in the historical record is the incredibly vibrant culture of defiance and self-determination exhibited by Africans taken into slavery, and later their descendants."
The problem is that even successful resistance takes a toll.
Slavery hugely imbalanced the population mix in western Africa. Because slavers wanted male slaves more than female ones, the slave trade encouraged polygamous relationships and discouraged monogamy -- there were many more women than men.
Slavery spread disease, as populations mixed in warfare and along the coast.
Slavery spread starvation, as slave-raiding parties burned granaries, scattered farmers and torched farms.

Slavery disrupted trade, as it crowded out the non-slave trade and discouraged conventional exchanges in things like cotton.
For all the problems slavery caused in the Americas, for all the horrors it inflicted on individuals, its effects on states and nations were just as deleterious.

It's complicated but Russia and Ukraine are not at war, their is no active fighting no mobilization and no declaration of war, in 2014 it was an internal conflict with Russian involvement which was really shitty of Russia but it's not a war.
Fun fact north and south Korea are technicly at war but Kim is to spooked to act on it.
