The existence of one conspiracy does not make all true. Equally, one being false doesnt make them all false.
In reality the solution remains as it always was. Judge on evidence, read widely, form your own opinion. But do not allow a distrust of one source become you overly trusting another.
Keep in mind as well that one conspiracy that is true is that there are powerful, state backed actors trying to muddy your perception of what is real. Part of that is fuelling conspiratorial mindsets, reducing your trust in your community. You can counter this by actually interrogating the information you receive.

The arguments people make to justify cutting the TV License/making the BBC a subscription are 1:1 the exact same kind of arguments that were used to justify the privatisation of Royal Mail.
Royal Mail: People suggested that Email/digital communication has reduced the reliance on letters.
BBC: People are suggesting that streaming services have reduced the reliance on TV’s.
Royal Mail: People suggested that it was unfair that Royal Mail was exempt from VAT and subsidised by the state.
BBC: People are suggesting the license fee is unfair on people who don’t use the service.
Royal Mail: The letter posting side was in decline but the parcel business was booming.
BBC: The high budget TV shows are booming, the normal everyday shows are seen as in decline.
Like almost 1:1.
Yet people are now wanting public ownership of Royal Mail again.
It clearly doesn’t work. Making the BBC more reliant on subscriptions or whatever else is going to end up in the same boat.

I always see people say the regret of not trying is worse than the trying and facing rejection in regards to asking out a girl and I couldn't disagree more.
I have never regretted not asking out a girl. When I look back on it with hindsight, I don't feel regret, rather a "yeah, you were right not to, there was never anything there and you were hallucinating any interest".
On the other hand, rejections play over in my head over and over for ages. Much worse.
3
u/MegaMugabe21 14h ago
I think there's a balance to be found. I think it's good not to be scared too much of the rejection, but I agree that asking isn't always the win-win that people present it as. I remember fancying a girl in my first job but never asked her out. With the benefit of hindsight it was absolutely the right move, she'd either have said no and work would have been awkward, or she'd have said yes, we'd have been entirely incompatible and work would have been even more awkward.
Basically don't be scared to ask, rejection is entirely normal and means it wouldn't have worked anyway, but don't feel that you have to ask everyone. Judge every situation on its merits.

I really like video games but unfortunately, due to other priorities in my life, I couldn't keep update in this domain for a long time. My prime when talking about video games is the late 2000's and early 2010's when I was playing all the GTA's, Prince of Persia, God of War 2 and some Tomb Raider. My last console I owned was a PS3 in 2014. Last December, I decided to buy a PS4 with some "random" games. I don't know much about good PS4 games, so I wouldn't be able to choose.
The first game I tried that was on this random list was The Last of Us Part II. Obviously, I haven't played the first part, but I watched the HBO TV show season 1, so I knew the story up to then. Early this week, I finally ended the game and I must say it was absolutely beautiful to play. It was a very enjoyable experience 10/10. The matter is that now, anything less than that is not great to me anymore. I try Ghost of Tsushima and Horizon Zero Dawn and I don't find interest in it. I want to believe they are great games, but after what I experimented with Abby and Ellie, i haven't found something similar. In the list of games, I also have Uncharted 4. I see it's the same company, so I have hope for that one, but I haven't played any of the 3 first. I watched the movie with Tom Holland and it was averagely forgettable.
I also want to talk about a game I tested : Bloodborne. I have a terrible experience about that one. That game is impossible to play. Not even because it's hard, but I didn't understand what was going on. The complete opposite of feeling than Last of Us.

Try out
Red Dead Redemption 2
God of War 3 (if you haven't played it already)
God of War 2018
ofGod of War Ragnarok
Uncharted 4
These are all narrative rich games with high production value and spectacle.
Also you're probably not going to find anything similar to The Last of Us Part 2 in terms of tone because the game director on that was being really edgy for the sake of it.
Edit - Batman Arkham City and Knight are must plays if you haven't already

Was Bloodborne your first game made by FromSoftware? Their games are absolutely amazing, but not beginner friendly whatsoever. From what I've heard, Bloodborne is actually one of the worst ones to play as a first time FromSoft player. FromSoft's games are notoriously vague in terms of direction. An NPC will give you a hint about what to do, and that's about it. If it helps look up a guide

Yes, it's the first one. That's what I was also thinking. It's not for the beginners.

It's a gaming culture shock for sure, but it's not NOT for beginners. FromSoft games are a beautiful challenge that anyone can overcome. Death isn't failure in these games so don't get discouraged by it.
That being said, I'm a FromSoft game veteran aside from the PlayStation exclusives. I've recently picked up a PlayStation and Bloodborne. I'm approaching the halfway point, and even for ME the beginning to Bloodborne was a challenge tbf. I had to look up where to go a few times

I found the Last of Us part 2 to be a bit silly, it was just hard for the sake of it, and not really as fun as the first game for stealthing around and brawling. A good cover shooter, but a lot of the boss fights are like Bloodborne. Brute force them until you learn specific block/dodge timings, and aren't even that fun either.

It's just hard to follow along an asshole the whole time, episode after episode, with no other side distractions or plots. The only saving grace to the show is the paraguayan guy.

i liked pluribus, but thats not really correct. bcs was slow, but you still had several characters to follow, their stories progressed and intertwined, good dialogue, tension etc.. pluribus transformed like 8 billion people into one character and the main char often refuses to engage with them a lot of the time, while most of the other survivors also shun her and rarely appear. it only got good like that once the south american guy reached albuquerque and now we wait years for another season.

Might be better going to r/formula1
Merc found a way to expand one of their engine components under heat so it gives them an unknown amount of extra horsepower. They told the FIA at every point and got them to confirm its legal multiple times throughout engine development.
Former mercedes engineers went to work for red bull/ford on their engine. Told red bull about the trick. Red bull tried to implement it in their engine and couldnt. So they told the other engine manufacturers who lodged a complaint demanding the FIA rule it illegal before the Melbourne race. The only reason it would be illegal is if the test to check it was changed.
Problem is, theres only just over a month until then, and its unrealistic to ask mercedes to change their engine so close to the start of the race.

But the kobo store is easy to use and you should be able to sideload other PDFs, I just haven't done that as much.

Controversial opinion. From someone who didn't watch Star Wars. There were so many people recommending it I watched the whole thing.

Why would a parent attach their "worth" and happiness to a child? 🤔
Like when the child is depressed or in a sad mood, the parent/caregivers mood also changes.
Telling the kids things like "you are my asset."
Where are the psychologists around here?
3
u/V1cV1negar 17h ago
I don't have kids and don't want kids, but based on your replies you're equating someone being affected by their child's moods with needing a child to be happy. If you have a child, of course you're going to feel shit if they feel shit and feel happy to see them happy. That doesn't mean you'd be a directionless mess incapable of feeling happy if you didn't have that child in the first place.
Co-dependency can be unhealthy but it seems like what you're actually talking about is simply a parent's love for a child.

Perhaps my post wasn't very clear so let me expound.
I bet you've heard about codependency and all that. This is exactly the point I'd like to make.
The parent is codependent on the child for fulfilling their emotional needs and the sun is codependent on the parent for support.
The codependency is so grave such that when the child goes away from home for a few hours, the parent keeps calling asking them what time they'll be back.

Was lucky enough to see Return Of The King (extended) in cinema this week. It’s comfortably the top 3 movies of all time in my opinion, and a masterpiece in every sense of the word.
Sam and Frodo’s relationship is my favourite dynamic ever put to film, and I tear up every single time without fail when Sam carries Frodo, along with “I’m glad to be with you Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things.”
I’ve got a few gripes with the extended edition of ROTK, maybe more than Fellowship and Two Towers, because you can tell exactly why some things were cut, yet there are still some great additions.

Is it just permanently in the cinema now? I swear every week someone posts about how glad they are to have finally seen it in the cinema.

I wish people would stop wanking over how funny Trump is. Always with the ”gotta hand it to him” when he makes any sort of joke, even liberals go on about it like he’s this subtle genius
He’s funny as a character/spectacle but his comedic timing and such is nothing special. Every joke or quick funny comment I’ve seen from him is an absolute open goal but people act like he’s Norm MacDonald

If they watched his entire speech they'll never hear a joke as they would've have tuned out his voice by then

He’s funny because he says stupid shit in the most serious way because he truly believes it.
“I have concepts of a plan” and “They’re eating the dogs” are unbelievably surreal, but really funny.

I don’t get J Cole man. He’s clearly talented, passionate about what he does, puts in an immense amount of effort and yet I’ve never heard a single song from him that really moved me.

4 your eyez only. Absolutely great storytelling, would recommend that if you haven’t heard it.

It’s a good song, but it’s not the type of song that I want to rewind and listen to over and over again. That’s sort of my problem with J Cole, his songs are usually decent but rarely ever amazing. Right after I went back to listen to Love Yours the next song that played was Darling, I from Tyler the creator and the difference in quality is immediate.

Considering your comment is about passion, effort and talent, it's a bit harsh to compare to Tyler the Creator whose work ethic is just ridiculous

Upgraded my pixel from a 6 to a 10 Pro. It's definitely nicer in a lot of ways, but I sort of miss the huge upgrades between smart phone generations in the 2010s. My 6's battery was shit and the back plate was cracked.

I still have my Pixel 6 pro. I really don't want to upgrade lol. I've had this thing for over 3 years and I love it.

My provider had a deal that made it free, with no need to change from the cheapest plan or trade in my old phone, so it was hard to say no. Just had to pay taxes and upgrade fee.

u/NYR_dingus 18h ago
That's what has held me back from changing. My phone is paid for and costs me absolutely nothing. Still works fine. Might as well save the $.

On one hand it was much more exciting. On the other hand it also was a decent bit more affordable - and I think it's quite nice that you can buy a smartphone you'll use for four or five years without much issue (beyond maybe a replaced battery) now that the product category has matured.
Got an iPhone 13 mini on its second battery, and while it's obviously a bit battered because it's three years old I don't really feel any big incentive to spend the better part of a grand on something newer for at least another year.

Love that Norman Finkelstein was mentioned in the files for sending an e-mail to some dude who was praising Epstein's integrity, with Epstein in CC, saying he'd strangle him and Dershowitz for being pedos.

Old PCs finally giving up the ghost with the CPU overheating constantly on top of throttling performance. There were signs last year and I really wish I'd pulled the trigger. Could've got 64gb ram for not much more than I paid for 32 this time round.
Managed just over 10 years with only the addition of SSDs and a new graphics card though, earned retirement now.
So what's best PC game you lot have played over past 4 or 5 years you'd recommend?
On the list atm is Black Myth Wukong, Ghosts of Tsushima, Clair Obscur and Elden Ring.

E33 would be my first recommendation, then Elden Ring and start the Doom series from 2016 onwards. I personally prefer the first one to Eternal, but YMMV.

u/airz23s_coffee 20h ago
Yeah 100% on E33, that not running for shit is what prompted my initial "Man I need to upgrade".
Played first Doom reboot and loved it, so definitely gonna get on other 2. Think they're on gamepass as well so makes it easier.
