  • Alloys are intrinsically liberal. Keep metals pure!

  • Assuming ludonarrative harmony is the opposite of

    Ludonarrative dissonance is the perceived conflict between a video game's narrative told through the non-interactive elements and the narrative told through the gameplay. Ludonarrative (derived from Latin ludus, meaning 'game', and narrative) refers to the intersection of a video game's ludic elements (gameplay) and narrative elements.

  • I explained my argument and I also provided a link to demonstrate it's happening. The information is literally there. And I'm not saying EVERY therapist is profit-maximizing reality denier, just stating there is a definite pull in that direction.

    I also respect that your experience in your country might be very different than mine. Yet you assume your knowledge of what goes in your country puts you in a position to definitely disprove my experience in my country.

  • Samsung is the iPhoniest of the Androids, too, especially with regard to vendor lock in. The joy of Android is that it's a (philosophically) open OS, which Samsung does everything it can to make proprietary.

    That said, if you're worried about Trump, associating with Google--who makes Android--is probably the very worst choice you could make. No doubt Google is a key part of the coming surveillance state in the future Fascists States of America.

    I'm using graphene OS, a modded and secure version of android, only available on Google Pixels (ironically) (soon available on Motorola), but the way things are going, I think it's time to start figuring out Linux phones.

  • Broadcast TV is always more censored because it uses public airways, so the feds have jurisdiction... but for the purposes of this discussion of old-timey censorship, there is only the big three to worry about--cable and streaming were nary a glimmer in little Ricky's eye.

  • Yeah, a toxic system that is coloring my perspective on that toxic system?

    I think therapy can be very helpful for people. If it's helped you, that's great!

    However, nothing is above criticism, and to put anything above criticism is really dangerous.

  • "Past trauma" has been around since Freud. "Cognitive distortion" is a term bandied about by CBT, but the concept has existed since people thought about thinking.

    The basics of psychotherapy are extremely stable. Every time I learn about a "new" theory, it is essentially an old theory, repackaged.

  • Therapists and sales people both exist in a capitalist systems and so are under similar pressures. (Edit: Unless, of course, they aren't! Assuming US context here, I can't speak to every therapists in every country in the world).

    Here is one of MANY complaints from therapists about working in clinics where they are tracked on how many hours they are seeing clients / no shows / etc.

  • I didn't mention a therapy.

  • Ugh. Just had a bad flashback.

    Type 1: True DDOI

    Format

    These types of posts follow the format of the original Don't Dead Open Inside. If the correct order of words is A B C D, the post's format is

    A CB D

    or something reasonably similar. True DDOI is usually flaired as such.

    Examples:

     
            think trash pink cancer
    
    
      

    Type 2: No Safety Smoking First

    Format

    These types of posts are like Don't Dead Open Inside, but inversed. If the correct order of words is A B C D, the post's format is

    A BC D

    or something reasonably similar.

    Type 3: The Sandwich

    Format

    These types of posts are not read correctly top to bottom or left to right. If the correct order of words is A B C D, the post's format is

    AC DBorCA BD

    Examples:

     
            Star The Clone Wars Wars
        Smash Immigrants Welcome Racism
    
    
      

    Type 4: Mixed-in Words

    Format

    These types of posts have multiple words intertwined together. If the correct order of words is A B C D, and sum all = E, the post's format is

    E

    Type 5: The Mess

    Format (This is just one of many ways it can take form!)

    These types of posts are just a mess, and around 50% of the time come from /r/crappydesign. If the correct order of words is A B C D, the post's format is

    B̴͏̢́̕A͡͝D̛C͟B҉͞A̵̢͜͟B̨̛͜Ć̨̧̀͘D̷͟͠҉́B̢̕͟҉B̶͏͜Ą̸͘C̵͝D͏̕B̡҉̛A̵̕C͏̀͝͡͡B̵̡D́Ą͜C̴͘͞D̵͜C̴̀͜͝͠A̶̢D̨̧͠C̴̸̷̀A̧͞͠D͘͠͡͠B̴̸B̶̸À̢̧̨͠D̶̵̡͏B̢̕͘͠C͏̨͢A͏̕͟͏ ҉͘Ḑ̶͘̕͞C̸̷͟͟Ą̵͢͞͠Ḑ͘͜B̧̧̢̛͘B̶̧̀D̵̀́B͜À̡̧̛B̵̵͟͡͞D̴̸C̷͝҉҉B̵͡A̧҉̀Ḑ̵̸̡̕C̴̷͝͞B̶̶͘A̢͜B̸͏̧͢D̴̢҉͏B̴C̸̕͡͞Á̵͠Ḑ̷̵̴͡B̡B̵̕͠C̴͏͢A͞͡͏D̕C̸̸̢̛A̢͡҉̧D̴̢͞͝B̵̀C̢̕͟Ḉ̴̵̧B̶̢A̵̶̛͢C̀ ̶̸̛̕͠À͡͏D͡͡B̛́͟͞͞À̛͝͏̧D̨̕͘͢B̷̡̛͘͠A̢̢̕B͢͞D̵́͞B͏̧̧B̀҉Ḑ̛͘͠B̶̢̧C̡͠A̶͏̛B͘͏͘͟͜D͜҉̵͝҉B̡͏̨̢ÀB͞Ḑ͏B͏͏̕͞C̷̶̡À͡҉̧̢B́̕D̶̢B̵̢̨͞A͢҉́̀̕C҉̧͠D̸̀́͞B҉̡̀A̷̢͡B́̕͘ ̵̨͟D̶̀͢͡B̴̶͢͝͞C̵̛͠͏̀À̴͡B̴̡̀͝D̸҉̶̀̕A̡҉̀ ͡҉̕͟B͘͞͏D̡͏̸͞A̢͠C̷̴͘B͞͏D̨̀͡҉B҉͘͢A̕͟͢C̛̀B͏̷D̕͟͝C͝͏̴̡A̧̡͝B̨̛͜D͏̸B̴̛͠͡C̸͜͞͞A̢͘͜B̴D͜͡B̷́́͠C̨͏A҉̢͟D͏̢C̨̨A̵҉̀͟B̶̶́͢͝Ḑ̀͞ ̡͜B̢́͜A͟͠D́B҉̵͜͠A̶͟͝Ć̸̛́D́B̶̢͢͠͝Ą͞͡ ͡͡͏̧͘D͏B̡͏̴̸A̧̨͞D̷͠B̴͘A̸̧͟D҉̡B̧B̢͢͡҉͟D͘B̵̸̧̀A̴͠B͝Ḑ̸́͘͟C̢͢͡A̷͝B̴́D̸̨͠C͏̛B̸̡̢̕͞A̸̛͟͠͞B̢͝͡Ḑ͜C̨͢͢͞ ̀͢͞͞Á́͠D̴́C͘͝A͏̀͝B͏͠D̷B̴̸̢͘À͏D҉́͟͞B̶̧̨C̷̢̀͜A͘͡B̢̀́͢͜D͏҉͠C͜͜B̡̢A̸̕҉D̢͘B̕͟͜͠C̵̶̀͜͡A͟͏B̢̧͢D҉̵̸C̸͟͡B̸̛Ą̧́͘D̵͘̕B̵̕Ć̨͜͡҉A̕͟B͘͏̀͝D̨́͞͡C̢͟͟B̴͘͡Ą̴͘D̶̴͘͘͠B̢́͟͜

    or something reasonably similar.

    Type 6: Fragmented

    Format

    These types of posts can be read correctly top to bottom or left to right, but contain lines with fragments of words. If the correct order of words is A B C D, the post's format is not demonstrate-able with this example, but I picked it for simplicity and it worked for most of the other ones. Just look at the format, or SASA LELE.

    Type 7: Circles

    Format

    These types of posts contain one or more pieces of text arrange in circles. If the correct order of words is A B C D, the post can have words in the correct order but be misleading due to curved words.

    Type 8: Different Languages

    Format

    These types of posts contain a vertical line of words that are read correctly, then another vertical line of words in a different language. While these might seem like DDOI at first glance, it's kind of cheating because nothing that unintentionally comes out of two different languages is going to make sense. If the correct order of words is A B C D, the post's format is

    A АB БC ЦD Д

    Type 9: Reversed Order

    Format (missing image)

    These types of posts are just reveresed, because they're on stairs or similar. If the correct order of words is A B C D, the post's format is

    DCBA

    Type 10: All Repeated words/letters

    Ones where the only words that are in the DDOI are just the same words stacked next to each other.

    Quick example:

    DON'T DON'T

    OPEN OPEN

  • I used to work in an Italian restaurant. You had to get the calamari out quickly because everyone would pick at the plate on their way through the kitchen.

  • Cool. That's sort of better... but it might not be, really.

    For instance, you'd think commisions are bad because they push salespeople to sell you things you don't need. So you'd think NOT having commissions are GOOD; but that is marketing, because every salesperson has metrics and goals, and if they don't meet them, there are consequences.

    Source: Worked at Best Buy, where customers were so happy that we didn't take commission but didn't know that our supervisors would chew us out if we didn't sell a membership or get a credit card application.

    So it depends on how the system is implemented.
