Yeah, I keep in touch. I experienced some deprivation as a kid, so as an adult, I pursue interests with glee. Maybe even to my detriment, but overall I think it’s a positive thing to rush toward interesting things.
The flip side is, really draining sometimes, and I push it away in favour of gratification. Could also be a sign of an imbalance in life, if recovering from work-based responsibility doesn’t happen well enough, and it intereferes with personal life responsibilites.
Onnittelut on paikallaan, sillä tuotteer on kohtalaisen laadukkaita. Näiltä neljä pakettia hankkineena ei ole tullut katumusta päälle, mutta toisaalta en ehkä enää viidettä menisi hankkimaan.
Archetype sarjan plugarit, varsinkin Petrucci on todella monipuolisia leluja jotka teki kotikitaroinnista aivan ykkösharrastuksen. Saundeja löytyy satoja, on efektejä ja vaikka mitä mukana. Varsinkin jos malttaa black fridayn aikaan ulos puksahtavaa -50% alea vartos, on hinta/laatu oikein kohdillaan.
Behind The Bastards. Steven Seagalia käsittelevä tuplajakso heitti sisään, ja sille tielle jäin. Käyvät läpi historian pahimpia mulkeroita.
Yläasteet on paikkoja minne opetushalu ja idealismi menee kuolemaan. Massiiviset luokkakoot, resurssipuute ja teinielämän haasteet on aikamoinen kombo.
Isot propsit ja loputon kunnioitus niille jotka tätä tehtävää hoitaa.
Just bought a wollen cape for those crispy autumn mornings. It’s nice to lounge around in, but maybe I’ll summon the courage to take it out too.
Kinda feels like a trenchcoat in function, but lighter and with a hood to boot.
If you care about fashion, everything will go out of style every now and then. If you like cargo shorts, wear them. There’s no reason to cater to someone elses gatekeeping. If you think that they don’t fit your look, then that’s a completely different issue.
They are very handy too in all the right ways.
Driving people out because of their past isn’t fruitful. Someone used to have bigoted views but something made them change their mind, and they pushed hard enough to reform their life? Sounds like they wanted it, and are probably a changed person.
I know a few people like this. They help others leave similar situations. Great people doing important work.
I guess when I ran into Aesop Rock, and got absolutely infatuated? I don’t do a lot of rap, so his stuff hitting so damn hard was a surprise.
I remember a few of the other times. Mostly it has taken the right moment, the right mindset and the right artist. A dark autumn evening and a walk in a park for Dark Sanctuary, falling asleep to SunnO))) and waking up to it was a mindblowing experience.
Carpenter Bruts album Trilogy opened up electronic music for me, and Crypt of the Necrodancers soundtrack cemented it.
I recently reorganized my vinyls, and came across a female fronted power trio of some cool bands:
Jex Toth Jess and the Ancient Ones and The Devils Blood
All play retro-inspired rock, and all are very nice.
Also, Tenhi. Tenhi is love.
Oh wow, it’s still going? I really thought the game got shut down! It’s a cool shooter, definitely fun to mess around in.
As it stands, vocational education is faltering but high school is still ptetty strong - and they are mandatory untill you are 18. Not all vocational school/trade schools suck, but I’ve talked with a good deal of young students (hundreds) to get s feel that there are staggering differences in how much the teachers care, or are able to motivte the kids into caring about learning.
If you take vocational education/trade school, there’s a good chance you have a single course or two of publics, history or similar subjects and that’s that.
It’s also turning into a bit of a gender issue, since our high schools are skewing heavily toward female students, with boys opting more and more to do trade school, partially due to lack of grades, partially because they feel like the school system isn’t for them and studying theory is unpleasant or downright hard. So they get demotivated and go where it’s considered “easier”, and scrape by.
After you graduate secondary education, a lot if guys don’t pursue further studies, so their access to education and discourse stalls. Young women do pursue higher education though, but it is not an idel situation at all.
Wasn’t this in an episode of Futurama?
Where are the belching robots when you need them? Or even a giant ice cube.
This seems to be the case yeah. The rhetoric of the left is preaching acceptance and solidarity, but in an uncertain world “feelgood rhetoric” isn’t strong enough. The right are preaching what appear to be solutions (close borders, nationalism, tax cuts to income and gas, segregation and defunding social programs to adress debt) so people buy into it.
What they don’t realise is that the tax cuts hurt the debt cutting messures and eroiding social security hurts nations and paves way for more insecurity, hate and fear (which fuels the right wing machine).
There’s precious little education on politics and choices for 20-somethings, and people are left to try and understand what the media pushes out. Finland benefits from a trusted national news media, though they have been criticized by the right of being politically biased and not worth their budget. So people slanting toward the right tend to be sceptical of it, and are pushed away, toward other news sources.
Oisko China Mievillen Perdido Street Station-sarja uppoava? Fantasiaa, mutta tässä on sellaista film noir-fiilistä ja rikoskoukeroita mukana.
Heyy, very cool! Thanks for the recommendation! I gotta keep this one in mind, after I get through Fear&Hunger. It’s pretty brutal, but god I love the pixel art.
Penny Racers was the jam, way back in the day. It was our family game, but unfortunately I played too much, and no-one could keep up.
Circuit Breakers is a really good Micro Machines clone. I still take it with me when the old ps-systems get carried around.
Biofreaks and WU-TANG:enter the pain are so much fun. Stupid gory party fighters with more jank than a dump site, but I don’t care.
I have so many fond memories of the game, but I keep forgetting the name. Thank you for the reminder, maybe this time I’ll remember to try and emulate it.
Almost anything by Ray Porter is incredibly well read and well produced. NOS4A2 read by Kate Mulgrew is solid.
Tst as an org around the time they started trying to erect Baphomet statues, satanism as a young fella working out existential questions and being interested in philosophy, literature and the occult. I dont’t practise or follow any tenents aside from those that arise from my own morality, but I do appreciate the counter-movement against christo-fascism.
Aidon oikeasti en, enkä halua. Talkoohommat joo, tottakai tulee hoidettua tarpeen vaatiessa, mutta naapurit tuntien ei meillä ole mitään yhteistä elämässä. Small talkkia voi harrastaa, mutta ei mulla ole pakottavaa tarvetta tutustua ihmisiin joihin en muuten haluaisi tutustua (kuin naapuruuden perusteella).
