Thoughts on the Disney Sony split over Spiderman?

>>49410
I think if Sony didn't make a Spidey movie for X years, Marvel automatically gets it back, so they could have just waited out Sony's shitty movies until Sony gave up, but I don't think Disney has confidence in this superhero bubble lasting forever which is why they initially took that 5% deal. idk 5% seems too low, and 50% too high

while it seems crazy Marvel sold its top characters in perpeuity, otoh they never could have launched and funded Iron Man and the MCU in 2007 without the proof of concept of X-Men and Sony Spiderman

Fuck modern capeshit, I hate how ugly and bland all the new Marvel movies are. New Spider-Man is an especially bad offender, Raimi's Spider-Man 1 and 2 will always be king.

Looks like they are planning to retcon the The Origin of She-Hulk In The MCU because they want her to be a strong independent succubus with no need of the Hulk in here origin somehow for feminism reasons I guess.
Seems dumb and fans are not happy but whatever.

Not minimal enough, framebuffer and ALSA are part of the kernel that weighs like the entirety of Win3.1

I had that Slacko Puppy build too and it was amazingly quick for real. Unfortunately they stopped development. See what I wrote earlier about C library and TinyCore if you want to see that kind of performance with newer app versions.

could we keep this alive please? thanks.

Generally this kind of software is much more time efficient because you spend an initial time learning and configuring it. Everything comes second to ease of use in most modern software, but for those who don't mind a bit of a learning curve, using something like Vim or a command line to perform a task often makes it much faster. No normie is ever going to learn to use a tiling window manager even though it's easy as fuck, even though it's saved me countless hours of fucking around with floating windows and having one fucking workspace.

Mass killings are the new in things these days. Maybe there would be less of them if the mass media and the general population didn’t idolize them as they’ve done with serial killers for decades. See the reactions on the internet every time one of these occur. Yes, black and edgy humor is also part of the problem.
Murderers and rapists receive love letters in jail, and now the same thing is happening to mass shooters whether dead or alive, and also terrorists.

Somebody else interested in Adam Lanza? I've been reading about him these days and there's a lot of interesting stuff. There's info about a book he wrote as a homework when he was 12 years old: its full of pretty disturbing violence. For some reason depictions of violence done by children are always weirder and more disturbing than anything written by an adult. Also, he had a strange relation with pedophilia. This is particularly interesting regarding the target he choose. I find his life to be pretty interesting and wizardly.

I found it both interesting and a little funny.

too lazy to google I assume that's the sugary part where yeast clings on to? if that's the case then putting a slice of potato might work

No and no.

>kombucha is a type of fermented tea.
so what is it alcoholic?
there's a big kombacha house down the street and I don't see the scum who took over my city making a big ol' tea house unless they're getting drunk off the shit

plus the door has an angrily written "no minors" sign

>>49480
It's only 1% or so, can't imagine anyone getting drunk from it. I'm >>46512 and stopped making it after the fifth batch or so. Anhedonia kicked in again and I failed to check my jars for several weeks. Just tossed all out in the sink at the end.

this guy does a lot of old restorations for keyboards, calculators, old computers, stuff like that. the parts about keyboard and cleaning the keys and stuff is usually lengthy and informative

>>49448
Thanks. I did know about that channel (and like it a lot, and it's probably one of my main motivations here). Some of this is relevant (like the individual keys you see in the picture, otherwise it's metal), but I have to skip over the electronics parts because this is a completely mechanical machine.

>>49437
why? He isn't acting disrespectful.

They don't trade with them. Even the tribes bordering the amazon are vulnerable to disease hence why scientists cannot contact them, the only method they have to check up on them is by aeroplane. The ones in the interior haven't been exposed to modern disease at all.

>natives are still influenced by civilization in the form of less land

A native tribe in the middle of the amazon won't know or care about deforestation happening on the borders, it will not affect them at all.

Don't feed him.

>>49441
I mean the trade networks being disturbed through transformations in the amazon. The trade networks were an essential part of the amazons. Even the tribes in the most remote areas of Amazons have changed their behaviors due to transformation of the amazon native's social structure. For example, those who are not contacted officially by us yet are still forced to make decisions that they wouldn't have if they were free from civilization and make radical change like how some of the uncontacted natives like the Sentinelesse became extremely isolationist after the short "Contact" with the British. The very existence of civilization is enough to transform the native cultures and populations.

I wish more humans would read audiobooks

I find that because of the value I devrive from quality done audiobooks I am tempted to start paying for them.

Any of you guys ever used a payed/premium service or bought individual audiobooks?

>>46258
they sound bad though. im looking forward to the day my computer can perfectly read to me and i can change the voice to anything i want

>>49405
Very high quality robot audio will be more like human voice

>>49407
sure but the voice you can decide, i think that would be nice alternative to human voices. i cant say how many audiobooks files ive deleted simply for the voice sounding weird. some i could modify the pitch into something better but others were hopeless

For fuck sake.
The programming thread is still on page 1. A thread died for your retardation.

therapy is a scam through and through, I've been severely depressed for over a decade, no quack is going to just talk me out of it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_therapy

I've had some success with it but it's incredibly difficult to apply on yourself because of the massive skill curve. The framework is probably the best I've seen from researching different therapies and modalities. It seems to able to integrate and explain the effectiveness of most therapies and it offers a very good evidence supported theory of change. It's based on the newest research on memory reconsolidation which is the brain's only known process for updating and erasing long-standing memories.

The approach essentially incorporates this process and deliberately aims to update/remote implicit emotional learnings that produce symptoms in the present. Instead of trying to "counter-act" symptoms like most therapies i.e. CBT, it uses experiential techniques to find the coherent reasons for the existence of the symptom, trying to find the hidden purpose of the symptom that makes it such a compelling "solution". It seems that even painful states like depression or low self-esteem have a coherent purpose to them, they are essentially the lesser evil of some dilemma and by reacting in that way, you avoid another much worse dreaded suffering. This kind of learning gets created through experience and torments people by creating symptoms in the present which are consciously experienced as negative but outside of awareness they have a hidden useful purpose that the person can verbalize with some effort and exploration. Once you bring this into awareness and integrate it, you have the power to actually transform it through the process of memory reconsolidation.

If you're interested, read "Unlocking the emotional brain". It covers the neuroscience research and overall approach, but I recommend reading the case examples in order to really understand it. This type of approach has transformed the way I think about my own emotional responses.

Insightful. I downloaded the book you recommended and am reading it right now.

It sounds to me like you are doubting the legitimacy of Astrology, and I would have to challenge you on that. It was actually my earlier interest in the MBTI which transformed into an interest in the Enneagram of Personality, which then became an interest in Natal Astrology which led to to draw and study my chart.

alot of people these days don't like to beleive anything unless it's being spoon-fed to them by a government-approved egghead in a white-coat. Or an e-celeb. (lol.)
Beyond this I know this Astrology has a bad reputation due to it's association with succubi that use it in that vapid, superficial way that centers around sex, love and relationships and takes only the sign-position of the Sun into account.

If you are willing and cognizant to sift through the cheap fluffy material on the subject, you can learn a lot of cool, inspiring and perhaps valuable information by studying Astrology and your natal chart. In the previous couple years I have spent a considerable amount of time studying my planetary positions and aspects, and have not only seen how my chart accurately explains my personality, but witnessed the effects of planetary transits in the form of major and minor events in my life. I can vouch for it's legitimacy. While the majority of the fun of astrology does come from the navel-gazing and often false sense of inspiration or grandeur, it's not all junk and can be used quite practically from a sober viewpoint if you so wish. It's perhaps the most effective psychological science there is; as above and so below.

Maybe it's just not for everybody. For anyone who is interested I'll post some links off the top of my head to the actually good astrology sites I have come across:
