They should've tried telling him that the DONbas was already named after him. Non-zero percent chance that would've worked.

The music and sound design of Hearthstone are so damn good. The business model and prices have gotten scummier over time (and it was always scummy) but the game still has the Blizzard polish. There's a reason it's been the top dog of the digital CCG market for so long.

I have to imagine he was being at least a little facetious, right? Surely he didn't actually believe that.

What if I threaten to destroy the device you've got on you and say that if you don't give me half of your crypto, nobody gets anything.

Even if it was verbatim in the Torah it would still not be a valid reason because it's just a book.

Like, are there any winners in this equation? I know we talk about money not being real, but like, how not real is it? Where do those trillions go?

My dog would immediately deport all mailmen regardless of nationality. She deems them to be an existential threat.

If you're a leftist like me, your comment won't show up! Try it!

Edit: To the people who commented, I keep trying to reply but none of my replies stick. So I will just edit the OP to call you libs.

My hot take has been for a while that the term "psychological horror" as people use it doesn't actually mean anything and people just use it to say "Horror I like/Horror I think is well done". If you look on Steam, pretty much every horror title also has the "psychological horror" tag so while a clear definition might exist somewhere, the term is muddied to no end.

So I wanna ask what you think the term includes and what it doesn't, maybe we can crowdsource it.

Out of this list of horror or horror-adjacent games/franchises/movies, which would you classify as "Psychological horror" and why? And just as importantly, which would you say aren't psychological horror? If you can't come up with good reasons, answering purely based on vibes is also valid. You don't have to categorize all of them, only those you have an opinion about.

Games:

  • Ao Oni
  • Doki Doki Literature Club
  • Outlast
  • Lisa
  • Omori
  • Resident Evil
  • Five Nights At Freddy's
  • Outer Wilds
  • Pathologic
  • BioShock
  • The Coffin of Andy and Leyley
  • Limbo
  • Sally Face
  • SOMA
  • The Binding of Isaac
  • Needy Streamer Overload
  • Ib
  • Silent Hill

Movies:

  • Saw
  • The Cabin in the Woods
  • It Follows
  • Martyrs
  • Coraline
  • Get Out
  • Midsommar
  • Blair Witch Project
  • All Quiet On The Western Front
  • It
  • Silence of the Lambs
  • A Quiet Place
  • The Shining

The list is very broad on purpose. If you have anything else you would confidently call psychological horror, feel free to mention it.

Pretty much title. I've seen this talked about a lot but I only very vaguely know what all this means, could someone elaborate on what happened, why it happened and what the consequences of it are?

Step 1: Learn Spanish

Step 2: Become a medium

Step 3: Move to Argentina

Step 4: Have a seánce with Javier Milei

Step 5: Tell him his dogs think that in order to truly free the markets, the means of production must be nationalized

Step 6: Tell him to stop dating his sister

Step 7: Communism has won

This is extremely cringe.

Rakuten Viki (a platform that has all kinds of Asian TV shows) used to have a feature that allowed you to watch videos with 2 sets of subtitles at the same time, which was ideal to learn languages. But for some reason, they just got rid of that feature?

Now there is "Language Reactor", which is a Chrome add-on that allows you the same feature on other platforms like Netflix, but none of those platforms have an even remotely decent catalogue of shows from mainland China (it's probably perfectly sufficient if you wanna learn Korean though). It's also a Chrome add-on and I'm using Firefox.

I'm looking into ways to pirate the shows and then add 2 layers of subtitles myself, which is probably gonna be a huge hassle because torrent hubs also don't seem to have many shows from mainland China.

Does anyone have a somewhat convenient way to a) Watch Chinese TV shows and b) Watch them with both English and Chinese subtitles? I specifically found this show I thought looked cute named 以家人之名 and it's on Rakuten Viki but alas, I can only watch it on there with either English or Chinese subs, not both simultaneously. And from my experience, you don't learn a lot at all when just reading English subs, especially with how difficult Chinese is from a listening comprehension standpoint.

The thought of being remembered for something so bland and boring is weirdly scary to me. Maybe Felix was on to something when he talked about how settler-colonialism hollows out your soul and kills any culture, creativity or national identity you might've otherwise had. thinky-felix
