Upvoted. As a beginner guitarist, I find that Rocksmith’s approach doesn’t work well for learning songs. I prefer to turn up the difficulty to 100% and turn the tempo down to something I can play comfortably and then gradually increase the

If it kept happening like that, it kind of sounds like he was subconsciously willing to pay for the “privilege” of chatting with a “hot online friend”, similar to how some lonely people pay to chat with a famous pornstar on Only Fans – even

Very cool project that I would have figured to be impossible to do in real-time. I thought I'd let you know that the web page is rotated to the right on my desktop monitor so I have to tilt my head or drag the browser window to the lan

Great stuff! I always enjoy seeing websites from the 90s still being served to the public – even if they haven’t been updated in decades. Hedy Lamarr’s story was very interesting: https://britneyspears.ac/physics/intro&

I’m not an American or a constitutional expert but my plain reading of that text is that the exception is for “involuntary servitude”. You could read it both ways but that’s how I’d understand it.

I suspect that this could be due to “immediacy effect” or “availability heuristic”. Mozilla’s announcement that they are shutting down Pocket and Fakespot was only three weeks ago and was big news. On the other hand, Google shut down so man

Strangely, your comment shows up in light grey, indicating that you’ve been downvoted – for asking a genuine question! Upvoting your question (and its answers) to mitigate that.

Thanks for the response. I think you’re right that, “if something truly does make no sense, that doesn't make it unrealistic.” I’ve watched documentaries or dramatisations of events that happened in real life (my wife is a also true-cr

I’ve really enjoyed the TV series (so far). Would you recommend reading the books – either before or after watching future seasons? While watching the first two seasons, I still haven’t understood why the creators of the silos wouldn’t just

The other answers describe the process well but here’s my personal perspective on how I got into it: When cycling off-road, wheel rims would regularly go out of shape so I purchased spoke spanners to correct the side-to-side wobble by adjus

That’s some good propaganda! As much as I disagree with him and his views, Goebbels sure was a skilled polemicist. The German Propaganda Archive is an excellent historical resource that I wasn’t aware of until now. Thanks for the link!

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted because what you say is correct. As a socialist, I can’t really disagree with what you other than “there’s no real facism” but I guess what you mean by that is something like Mussolini’s vision for so

Such films might be too “communist” for Americans but they would definitely be too “communist” for the current Chinese Communist Party. They might call themselves communists or socialists but the last thing they want is for Chinese workers

Cynical me suspects that the large corporations who get to decide which TV show or feature films get to be made are opposed to depicting workers organising and acting on behalf of their collective interest. This seems to be particularly tru
