    Extremely funny that Man with a Movie Camera has orchestral score snobs among it's fans when the film actually just is edited like a modern amateur(positive) music video.

    Like if you go between the different uploads on youtube with the "cinematic orchestra" score(modern) and a trad score, the trad score comment section is full of people being smug as hell.

    I think strictly speaking while Pontius Pilate orders the crucifixion, there's also supposed to be several points where Jesus could have been saved, like when Barabbas a violent criminal is pardoned instead of him at the request of the people.

    My gut feeling on the whole reasoning is that partially it's the attitude of like, Jesus is supposed to be of their people but they betray him, while the Romans are acting as occupiers naturally would. And also the Romans are forgiven by reason of adopting and spreading Christianity, while Jewish people remain Jewish.

    That's basically the logic that is used for this strain of antisemitism.

  • Huldra Huldra Now 100%

    There's variety within any profession like this, at many points in history it hasn't been the norm for normal people in urban settings to cook their own food or have cooking facilities at home, instead they purchased food from people whos job it was to cook.

    But there would still be a difference between a business serving everyday people and personal chefs/cooking staff.

    You've probably already gone through a night by now but I found that after getting pain and/or tingles in my lower back from doing double heavy shifts in my internship, putting an extra pillow either under the arch of my back, or between my knees if sleeping on my side, did a lot to make it hurt less both while trying to sleep and when waking up.

  • Can someone educate me on psychopaths and sociopaths?
  • Huldra Huldra Now 100%

    The public view is essentially that any of the terms for this is basically a stamp that either says these people should be put down ASAP, or if you are liberal minded, it says that they should be locked in a secure facility until non-direct causes kills them.

    I would say it's probably not very good to spread the idea of basically ontologically harmful people roaming amongst us.

    Finishing up Blowback S5 I'm really struck by how borderline criminally bad the common education is on what the Khmer Rouge ideology was actually based in and how the motives for the genocide was a sort of ethnic renaissance combining clearing foreign influence from the Khmer people with revolutionary ideals grabbed from various places, with the latter part being vague due to not progressing out of the "clearing" stage, so to speak.

    Also how underexplained the simmering nationalist resentments between Cambodia and Vietnam are, as well as the dynamic between the communist movements of each fueling the conflict. And I don't mean criminal just because the popularly propagated view is anticommunist, but obscuring how historical events and tendencies developed towards genocide should be criminal within any publicly admissible worldview.

    But it is of course most convenient to frame it all as leftist infighting and natural d*generation of revolutions.

    There was obviously attempts internally as well as the fundamental splits of the PRC and Albania from the USSR on the matter, and the split of the general international movement.

    But ultimately you can't just bully the men with power out of power, and the resistance from the people was scattered and able to be dealt with individually in turn, and there were plenty of opportunists prepared to take positions with Khruschev for personal gain or perceived stability.

    It literally doesn't even seem like it would be a challenge to implement a basic system to handle this, there's a lot of different people/organizations who would be interested in antique valuables and who might even send you out on quests to retrieve them given that it's already supposed to be one of your main occupations and sources of income, and its natural player behavior to automatically go to shops to exchange trash loot for fungible currency.

    Just have 1-2 diegetic pach*nko prize exchanges per significant settlement where you can put in all those piles of antique gold coins and crappy armor and get real money for it.

    Low budget TV movie that I found recommended on Twitter in the wake of the news breaking on James Earl Jones. What starts out like what you'd expect of a movie adapting a real alleged abduction actually ends up unfolding into an extremely effective relationship drama as the alleged abduction puts a strain on their mental health and already tenuous social standing as not just a mixed couple but also one featuring a divorced black man, all in the early 60s. Genuinely top class romantic acting from both James Earl Jones and his co-star Estelle Parsons, with James also turning out some really great acting of panic and terror during the hypnosis scenes.

    To clarify, by people I mean regular NPCs who aren't designated as existing in a stage of berserker rage at your existence, but just like guys walking around in a town. Every gameplay I've seen of someone trying to shoot like a regular guy you can talk to seems to just result in the dumb incapacitation thing because its an essential NPC.

    Just the most relevant bits: > According to The Mexican Chile Pepper Cookbook by Dave DeWitt and José Marmolejo, 60 percent of jalapeños are sent to processing plants, 20 percent are smoke-dried into chipotles, and just 20 percent are sold fresh. Since big processors are the peppers’ main consumers, big processors get more sway over what the peppers taste like. > The salsa industry, Walker said, starts with a mild crop of peppers, then simply adds the heat extract necessary to reach medium and hot levels. She would know; she started her career working for a processed-food conglomerate. > “I’ve worked in peppers in my entire life,” she told me. “Jalapeños were originally prized as being a hot pepper grown in the field. When we were making hot sauce in my previous job, we had the same problem, that you couldn’t predict the heat. When you’re doing a huge run of salsa for shipment, and you want a hot label, medium label, mild label, it’s really important to predict what kind of heat you’ll get. We tried a statistical design from the fields, and it just didn’t work, because mother nature throws stressful events at you or, sometimes, does not bring stress.”
