Nor that the information that they use against you be necessarily true given their accepted monopoly in ‘truth’.

Money is power. Just because that shower have the sense to sit outside of the spotlight of political scrutiny does not mean that they are apolitical nor does it make the influence they cast not strongly American in flavour.

And America too.

Definitely. But it does depend on the severity of the trauma. A very strong trauma will be constantly trying to retake control of your bandwidthh.

You had been merciful to a fault.

This is my go to type of therapy. It’s about re-centering your focus so that your mind stops looping back to the trauma./ Where it becomes problematic is then weaning yourself off the game to healthier pursuits.

You have patience beyond the legibility of my app…

I have been trying to follow this discussion, but this is taking it a bit too far…

Would it be rude to suggest a ceasefire?

List of Distributist parties in the UK:

• National Distributist Party
• British National Party
• National Front

Hmmm, maybe the Catholic part isn’t the only part worth reviewing.

Also worth noting that the Conservative Party’s ‘Big Society’ schtick in 2010 was wrapped in the trappings of distributism.

Not that all this diminishes it entirely but it does seem to be an entry drug for exploitation by the right.

I gotta hold my hand up and state that I am not read up on it at all, so happy to be corrected. But my impression is that Pope Leo XIII’s conception was to reduce secular power so as to leave a void for the church to fill. And it’s the potential exploitation of that void that attracts the far right too.

Not for me, but…

I arrived during the trailers, into a packed arthouse cinema, to see Happiness. Way before the credits 90% of the audience had walked.

Subjectivity?

Far-right should be enough normally

My genX ass was trying skibidi on its own cause most of the rest of the text is usually auto-suggested while typing in the search terms.

Is that you Howard Moon?

Mazogs on my godparents ZX81. The game was basically navigating a maze and occasionally fighting spiders. Which was a luck based thing where you just ran into them and waited for the result. Not very exciting but novel at the time.

But it probably wasn’t the very first game. I grew up in a tiny coastal tourist town that had four arcades. So it’s more likely the earliest games I played were in them but I don’t have a defined ‘first’ memory. They were fairly ubiquitous arcade games so: Space invaders; Donkey Kong; Pac-man; Asteroids; Frogger; Pole position; Paper boy; Lunar lander, etc.

I think the first game that I ever got addicted to (partly because I had the pocket money to sustain the addiction) was Ghosts and Goblins. Been chasing that buzz ever since lol.

Oooh, I did not know that!

Same. Gonna have to find some way of pirating the shows I ‘purchased’ on prime so that I can still go back to them.
