  • Ok, I feel like this is a relevant enough post to say; this comic gives the vibe of a Serial Experiments Lain x Adventure Time blend, and I adore that.

    I think the Adventure Time aspect is most obvious with the post apocalyptic setting, set in a barren wasteland with the rotting surviving remnants of the past society. The art style is reminiscent with it’s beautiful use of vibrant, monotone colours. Not to mention animal guides/side kicks.

    Meanwhile the Serial Experiments Lain aspect is a bit harder to describe, but mostly lays with the Techno-surrealist, abstract, paranoid and overall confusing but intriguing nature of the work, not to mention the non-linear storytelling

    They all share an odd dreamlike quality



  • Bonnie and Clyde, Killdozer man, Al Capone, Christopher Dorner, Billy the Kid to name a few.

    There are a few different common themes amongst them, either functioning as part of a gang or as a lone wolf, Bonnie and Clyde captured attention for the romantic twist attached to it.

    There are also greater numbers of outlaws during periods where laws are hard to enforce due to remoteness and isolation (old west) or due to the laws being flaunted by basically everyone due to the laws being considered ridiculous (prohibition).

    The key common theme is that they are viewed as fighting against an (what the public view as) unjust system, though often it’s more to do with their goals coincidentally aligning with the publics perception of an unjust system.






  • Fascinating read, and I think they cover the actual reason for this occuring so much more on these now barren islands where it doesn’t occur in anywhere near the same numbers in other places that the eagle has been reintroduced; the hills are barren from humans clearing them in the early 20th century, there is no tree cover and consequently significantly fewer alternative prey for these eagles, less shelter for lambs and sheep, and less biodiversity.

    The reality of the situation sounds like the farmers and their livestock would benefit from attempting to reforest, atleast in part. It would take a good 15-30 years at a minimum before forest would be regrown enough to enable other prey species to thrive, but it is probably the best option for keeping the places viable as farms without eradicating the eagles.

    30mg daily with an optional booster of 5mg instant release has been the sweet spot for me.

    Over the span of like 6 years I started on 30mg, went down to 20mg for a while until a bit of a tolerance kicked in then back up to 30mg, eventually got the 5mg booster which I normally only take a 1/4 of a pill for the actual boost I need without effecting my sleep too much, but even then if I take the booster for a week I’ll certainly start to feel drained, so it’s an option not a requirement for me.

    I imagine you’re probably going to be better off feeling a little bit of the randomness associated with you being on the lower dose. The medicine is supposed to help you function a bit more like a regular person, not a robot. Humans have got randomness/noise in their thoughts, we aren’t supposed to be robots.

    I’ve had what you’re experiencing but on methylphenidate; it doesn’t really go away until you lower the dose or stop.

    Other things that can impact the robot feeling is excessive caffeine before bed, and nicotine usage.

    I think if you’re asking this question; you already know that you want to go back down and just need some confirmation that it’s a good idea 👍


  • Jesus H. Christ, I immediately thought oh it’s not going to be as bad as it sounds, the. The video does genuinely show it being as bad and worse than it sounds.

    I’m autistic, when I get particularly distressed, I’ll end up impulsively hitting my head against walls or with my fist. Generally that behaviour is worse when left alone after getting into that state to begin with. By leaving these kids to actively self harm by isolating them, likely has worsened their situations, and probably has caused the epilepsy in the one child to become apparent.

    My partner is a teaching assistant at a mainstream school which takes on a huge number of SEN children, mostly autistic, about 5 with down syndrome, and recently a lot who were fostered. They would never in a million years think that anything like what’s shown in the video is acceptable, it’s genuinely heartbreaking that this has occured, let alone that noone is being held accountable for this abuse.

    There’s got to be so many better ways of helping these kids when they’re distressed instead of just throwing them into what is effectively a padded cell.



  • Tbh if they didn’t learn from last time (vita) it deserves to fail if they’re not including a usable microSD card slot. We’re at a point where the cat is out of the bag even for the average consumer, when games can be 100GB+, noone will buy it if they screw about with being an overpriced console + overpriced games. The console needs to be affordable, with affordable memory and then they’ll make their profit from the games.
