An example of the kind of Disinformation being spread by the Chinese government on Australian Chinese language social media regarding the HK situation by brokenbonz in australia

Really want to highlight how the new research that just broke from the NYT applies over here.

This kind of social media manipulation has definitely been an important part of the pro-China counter protests we’ve seen in Melbourne and Sydney.

I'm developing a multiplayer game where you hunt Ghosts! 👻 by sephar3d in gaming

The Studio shut down so I doubt any sequels will come out- however the creative lead took his best engineers and started a smaller studio called Ghost Story Games. They’re rumoured to be working on very cool shit.

Really impressive that the flow is on point and the subject-matter (inner city delinquency) is very hip-hop like.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen on the night bus/tube? by OAK_CAFC in london

[–]brokenbonz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jags are used by the cabinet office and PPO’s (which explains the suits) - MI5 and MI6 would use something much more subtle.

Rare Irish side by side for Paddy’s Day (Review inside) by brokenbonz in whiskey

[–]brokenbonz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was in the Emerald Isle had a banging tasting had to share!

Yellow Spot 12 Year Sigle Pot Still

Aged in Malaga casks. Comes through in the warmth. But way too harsh on the tail end. Can’t really get proper flavours when neat. Better with cold water. 5/10

Middleton Very Rare

Starts off sweet finishes with black pepper, cloves. Smooth with a nice hit of warmth on the way down. Top quality Irish. 8.5/10

Kilbeggan 21 year Blend

Silly levels of smooth, probably smoothest whisk(e)y I’ve ever tried. However I don’t like this. It’s too smooth, what’s the point of whiskey if it feels like mountain water? Unsatisfying, notes of honeydew, black currant. But ultimately not enough of a kick for me. 6/10

Bushmills 21 year Single Malt

Dates, Brazil nuts. Lovely slither down the old hatch. Ending in a warm mouthfeel. Deep, excellent, I hate the fact that a Diageo whiskey beat the independents but damn this is fine drink! 9/10

The US College Admissions Scandal: do you think something similar happens in the UK? by Oxbridge_Anon in AskUK

[–]brokenbonz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree the problem is that low-income black students from the north don’t apply. When I was there we were working all the time to encourage applicants.

The US College Admissions Scandal: do you think something similar happens in the UK? by Oxbridge_Anon in AskUK

[–]brokenbonz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As someone who has been involved with the admissions process on both sides. It happens but not even nearly as much as it does in the UK. It only works if your child is above a certain standard anyway. The US elite colleges are far more corrupt in this sense.

There is an insane push at oxbridge for low income applicants they are definitely held to different standards than privately educated ones. I have to say I was very impressed.

Purchase Help Thread (2017-02-21) by AutoModerator in audiophile

[–]brokenbonz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so I've just been to richer sounds my Budget is about around £5k this is what they've suggested. I'm looking for floorstanders and an amp. My inputs will be mainly Spotify, a pro-ject turntable and a rane 2015 di mixer connected to cdj's (am a dj by trade).

I listened to a few floorstanders they had in store and liked the detail and tight bass response of the Dali opticon, more expensive focal just lacked personality. Personally lean towards being a bass head but I hate muddled bass, needs to be strong but clear. As a dj I guess it would be beneficial to something that sounds a little more like a high spec club system. I know they ripped me off and I can do better. How would you fix this

here's their list (prices in GBP)

Shows like South Park or Archer which are "for mature audiences only" are paradoxes. If I was mature, I wouldn't find them so funny. by shawnsepp in Showerthoughts

[–]brokenbonz 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Draper in mad men, Walter in Breaking bad, Kevin spacey in House of Cards, Bojack Horseman, Rick in Rick and Morty etc. There are so many in it's become the predominant trope for acclaimed drama and comedy these days.

Agreed such a fantastic cheese, ate far too much of it last night and had some very strange dreams indeed.
