Right well imagine you’ve just walked into a bar in real life and everyone is having a conversation about crime in the city and a stranger sat in the corner says that their friend was murdered in the 90s. Would you really respond with: >

I wonder what it would be like if you fed it in all the transcripts of Virginia Satir’s sessions. She famously recorded a lot of so there would be a decent corpus of work. By pretty much everyone’s account, she was one of the greatest thera

No I’ve not. I went through a board game phase a few years ago so watched an episode or two of critical role and pretty much every episode of Tabletop. Played a lot of console games growing up and some warhammer so it’s always been somethin

I can’t even imagine what it feels like to get downvoted for telling people about your friend’s murder. Mgarfias, I have given you my upvote as a counter. To Hacker news, you need to sort yourself the fuck out and get some empathy.

I love Venice. It’s one of my favourite cities in the world. And I want to save it by any means necessary. At the same time, we are a fucking ridiculous species.

Watched the film today, thought it was great. Never really played the game (only once) so don’t know if it was true to the universe or not but throughly enjoyed the film. Definitely had a Marvel vibe to it though (theres even some scenes th

Can you elaborate on this some more? Are you essentially saying the same thing as the treachery of images? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Treachery_of_Images

Good point. You can’t trust anything you see on a screen anymore. Although even your eyes can deceive you in the real world occasionally.

No it is not. People used to be able to trust what they saw with their own two eyes. Hollywood could come up with some fake magic, but your average joe couldn’t. Have a look at the new unreal engine demo. Pretty soon, anyone will be able to

This guy gets it. Evil people can frame other people for things they didn’t do, creating completely photo realistic videos as evidence. It doesn’t matter if the truth comes out eventually if the pitchforks have already come out to enact rev

I actually think there is something to this. The oldest people tend to be holding tons in wealth and assets, making things like houses unaffordable. People working longer before retirement means that job openings and promotions are represse

The british version of the tv show is geordie shore set in Newcastle, but the culture in most northern british coastal towns is the same. Essex however, is probably the most accurate comparison considering it has the pretty much the same cu

Looks like you are right again. I do still think my original sentiment is true though even if the current data does not support it. I suspect (or at least hope) that in 100 or 200 years the democracies will out earn the monarchies. Personal

They're still costing you at least 2 to 3x what you'd get from Behringer and I reckon most bedroom producers won't be able to tell the difference. I also think it's ludicrous that people think they need anything bigger t

We weren't talking about GDP though were we. We were talking about wages and pay. GDP may be high but it is concentrated in very few hands, hence you get daft job advertisements like this and you get stats saying that average wages in

Genuine question for Indians: is India just a straight up dictatorship now? Between this and the BBC thing it is starting to look that way from the outside

Yeah and absolutely nothing to do with the fact said monarchies plundered the resources of other countries for centuries and are still dining off the spoils.

This. Exactly this. I got downvoted to hell the last time I expressed this sentiment so it’s nice to have my opinion validated by a set of fresh eyes.

Is this everywhere in Brazil or just certain cities? From the outside it looks like for example, Sao Paolo, looks ways safer than Rio de Janeiro but I've never visited so I don't know.
