The yanks lap it up, too. Wendy's, the burger chain, has made itself infamous for its Twitter "sass", I had a look and for the most part it just seemed that they were being unnecessarily rude. I've worked various customer-facing jobs, I know better than most that customers can be right cunts, but I don't think the correct response is to be a cunt right back.

>>89235
It is if that gets you more views.

>but I don't think the correct response is to be a cunt right back.

It depends on the context really, if you're afraid of losing your job being a cunt right back is definitely a no-no. If your CEO makes your job description "be a cunt right back" that innate fear you feel about being a cunt to a cunt in your own workplace environment just evaporates.

I don't know where I got the name from, it's wrong. They're Relius' Astral finishing moves. Taken from Central Fiction, apparently present in earlier titles too though.

>>23376
To be fair (and to add a bit of context to >>23374) a common refrain from people who draw for a living is that the easiest way to actually make money on commissions is by finding a niche interest and draw lewd material for it, even if they have no particular interest in the material themselves. It's like a blacksmith banging out yet another gate to keep cashflow going at that point.

>>23379
Ah that makes sense. Never played as or against Relius much, and Astral Finishes don't get pulled off very often, so I've just never seen that content.

>>23380
Oh, not judging them, or anyone else who wants to draw porn for a living. It doesn't hurt anyone else, I don't see how it's any of my concern.

I note that Skullgirls got into some controversy going the other direction, editing sprites to take out some of the panty shots. It seems like an odd choice to me, given the game had been out for years by the time they elected to do this. By that point anyone who'd be offended by that stuff must have already made up their mind. There were some mutterings about this being an attempt to make it esports-friendly, but I find it hard to believe the developers had any such pretensions, not least because they left plenty of equally racy content in there anyway.

I saw Reforged as their last chance to win back fan support after the Hong Kong thing and Diablo Mobile, but they fucked up even a reskin of a 17 year old game. It's almost impressive how far they've fallen. It's a shame, I was really looking forward to Reforged as WCIII is the only RTS I've enjoyed, but I'm glad I held off on preordering.

The Bioshock games, via the Remaster collection on PS4. It's been nearly 13 years since Bioshock was released, I was in my early 20s at the time and I remember being blown away by the graphics - I'd never seen anything quite like it. Looking at it now it's striking, games just haven't got all that much prettier. I think it sits right on the knee of the curve for 3D graphics, it's been diminishing returns ever since; looking back at what was released 13 years before Bioshock, we'd be talking original Doom. Things have definitely slowed down.

I tried the sequel, which I really enjoyed at the time (more so than the original, if I'm honest), but it isn't grabbing me. Don't think I'll bother installing Infinite, I played enough of that when it was new.

>>23350

Is there a mod that puts the left/right handed combat from 2/Infinite into BS1?

I saw something on TV a while ago about a Young Earth Creationist who has devoted his life to offering guided tours through the Grand Canyon where he attempts to convince visitors that evolution and the idea that the Earth is anything more than 8,000 years old are complete bollocks, and that the Grand Canyon itself is proof.

I think his position wasn't so much that astronomy and geology are a hoax, but he incessantly went on about things like, the only reason you find fossils of marine species at the top of mountains is that they are remnants of the biblical Great Flood. And that it was simply impossible that mountains could have formed from seafloor sediment, because the vertical distance of in some cases several miles could not have been overcome in the 8,000 years that the Earth was really actually old. So it was kind of a mish mash by a homeschooled born-again git throwing together scientific fact that he understood nothing about and audacious Bible claims that were drummed into him in the worst kind of way, but he was so adamant that the Grand Canyon's rock formations proved the Young Earth idea, it was kind of just really sad to see.

Gravity warps space, right?
What if, outside of the affect of gravity, space could be thought of as 'flat'? What kind of process would require mapping of reality in such a way? Doesn't gravity affect time, as well?

>>21440

After watching the behind the curve documentary I went and did a bit of research into various things output by various parties in the film.


The motive seems to largely be believing they are smarter than everyone else.

That at some point people believed based on current data (in Renaissance) that the world was round,but as modern technology came along it proved that theory incorrect, specifically that people reached the edge in Antartica. Now they are either too embarrassed to admit they were wrong as it will make science look stupid, or think it would cause mass chaos as people react to the news.

Part of this is based on what until relatively recently wha modern flat eart was. A tool for a theoretical exercise to promte critical thinking and challenge commonly held beliefs, that was co-opted by people who started to believe the arguments being put forward.

>>21450

>A tool for a theoretical exercise to promte critical thinking and challenge commonly held beliefs, that was co-opted by people who started to believe the arguments being put forward.


I guess it then sort of falls into epistemology, which is for the most part just academic self pleasure, but has some interesting approaches to the challenging of beliefs that are held to be entirely true facts.

It's like that whole argument of whether you exist, and how you know you exist. On the one hand, it can be a brilliant philosophical question that requires all the sharpness of your mind. But then some gits start telling you that they think we live in the Matrix.

>>21503

I'd argue epistemology is the most important topic there is. It does result in self torture though as you just constantly spot the bad arguments that people prefer and pick over the truth, mostly when they agree with what they thought anyway.

>>29449
A normal part of the healing process. Happens to most of us.

>Over the past year things have gradually shifted. Now I feel like a worm.

Elaborate? Doesn't sound like a healthy dynamic to me.

What happened?

>When we met, I felt I was more attractive, and had the power.

Oh so that's alright then. As long as the relationship dynamic was tilted in your favour everything was hunky-dory.

Incredibly vague OP, but I'm gonna make a philosophical soliloquy based on what I think you're hinting at anyway.

In most relationships I believe you have a dominant and a submissive half, and as long as the individuals involved are both in the position that feels natural to them everything will go smoothly. It's not inherently better or worse for the man to be in charge or not, the important part is if that lines up with the individual's personality. When those roles start to slip out of alignment that's when friction occurs.

I don't think it's necessarily healthy to expect the individual in question to somehow adjust themselves; it can work but I think it's usually more likely to result in conflict and suppression of healthy self esteem. People change over time and usually a shift in this dynamic represents a drift apart, outgrowing that partnership, if you will. We are taught that couples should exist for love and love alone, but in truth a person's financial status, direction in life, their ambitions and long term trajectory are very important. We shouldn't be ashamed to admit it if we are no longer a perfect fit. Sometimes life can take us down converging paths.

(There's also neutral relationships that share power and responsibilities equally, but I think they are much less common, and most people who think they are in one probably aren't. This is very broad stroke stuff. It's also not impossible for the other partner to change or adapt so that the partnership is complimentary again later down the line. But again rare.)

A lot of people don't say how they feel and over time end up in a state of appeasement. After the honeymoon period problems start happening and the trouble is that women often like to talk more than men. I had, and other males I know have, a tendency to just let the sadness build and go with the other person which leads to feeling terrible. Read 'No More Mr.Nice Guy".

You do have people that have been together for a while that cannot say the simplest of things to each other, or have a discussion about anything but the weather.

>>29427

If you don't want to discuss, that's fine, but I can't help but be curious about the "head trauma in his house alone". Did he fall down in the stairs, or in the shower? Something else?

>>29444

No idea I'm afraid. Police found the body and that is all they said, and that it wasn't suspicious.

I suspect his parents got given a fuller picture (they were the ones who called the police also because he wasn't answering the door) but I've never spoken to them.

A friend talked to the local police about it to get confirmation I don't think they volunteered any additional information.

"What helps your mood and anxiety to get better?"

If I knew that I wouldn't be doing CBT, would I?!

>>29443
Nah, it's over.

>>29446

You'd be surprised how many people with mental health issues are the equivalent of:

"My face hurts"
"Why does your face hurt?"
"I don't know, hmmm Ikeep slapping myself in the face"
"You should stop doing that?"
"Why would that help?"
"Just try it"
"I did it for 5mins my face still stings"
"Try it for at least a week"

I'm not saying that's your issue, but I think we all know someone who does these things to themselves and we see the 'easy fix'. And therapists probably look for the easy win of those cases first, some probably forget that there are those that isn't a solution for.

>>29447

Through my CBT I was told that emotions are the last thing to change, so I could start exercising today but probably wouldn't really notice much change until after a year or so. I think they often look for something easy and obvious that you can 'do'.

>>29446

Politely but- they can't tell you what makes you feel better. I felt the same as you before and I'd loathe these questions. The chances are that there are at least some things you can do to relieve your mood at least a little. If you're in CBT then then it's likely that you need to learn about how you react to stuff and what you can do to make yourself feel better.

The fact that you are annoyed by the question is why you need to really think about the question.

>>89192
That doesn't really work as a retort when what you've linked to isn't as you've described it.

>>89192

I scrolled your linked tweet for longer than I should have done. Not a single person I saw stated or implied removing education to prevent propaganda is a good idea as you suggested they did. The confusion may have arisen because of almost every post rebuking the implication that American education is free of propaganda by reciting their experience of 'pledging allegiance to the American flag and the Republic for which it stands every morning,' 'almost failing a history exam because the teacher didn't believe the eugenics movement existed' and a link to a Guardian article expressing outrage that some American school textbooks still referred to slaves as workers.

Here is the original tweet for context on why these people responded as they did.

From @PolitiFact
>.@BernieSanders was right about Cuba's literacy push in 1961. Over 700,000 people learned to read and write. They also got a hefty dose of ideology. <link removed>

If anything the people responding seem to be pro-Bernie, with PolitiFact making a politically charged statement that doesn't condemn American education in any way but merely adds context to what I assume was a statement Bernie made about how the Cubans gave the population literacy out of the goodness of their heart with no ulterior motive.

It's thought processes like yours that make me laugh at Americans. Please don't import that kind of thinking over here.
