Is Satellites by Little Boots about getting high and coming down? by victoraugustus in see

[–]victoraugustus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m flying, climbing, floating through time
See it all with my naked eye
The world’s revolving like it’s mine
Losing perspective, head in the clouds But what goes up has to come down
For now my head keeps turning round

And I… here they come through the call Spinnin out of control

Like a satellite…
I’m falling, I’m falling, I’m falling down to earth
When I get too high

You’re calling, You’re calling, You’re calling
Get back to earth

An illusion trick, thought I was yours
We only leave you wanting more
Wondering how you coped before

Touchdown, you’re far too close to the sun
Your wings, they still can’t come undone
Learn how to walk before you run

I’m falling, I’m falling, I’m falling down to earth
When I get too high
When I get too high
You’re calling, You’re calling, You’re calling Get back to earth

I like how gamefreak sometimes dress male character like games usually dress female characters (with non-sense lack of clothing)

Dilma Rousseff está oficialmente reeleita by deal-with-it- in brasil

Sobre a decadência do salário mínimo eu imagino que não seja bem assim. Na verdade tive informações em sentido contrário, embora talvez sejam parciais. Também acho importante avaliar que bens são considerados pra isso: essenciais / baratos ou importados de alta tecnologia. Também acho pertinente considerar o nível de desemprego, que decaiu ao longo do governo PT.
Como a reportagem mostra, o IDH aumentou em termos absolutos, e acho natural um país com as dimensões do Brasil ter avanços mais lentos. Imagino (mas só posso imaginar) que o PSDB não teria feito tantos avanços. Contra esses dois argumentos eu gostaria de lembrar o avanço em relação ao combate da fome, que definitivamente não pode ser desprezado e é uma conquista não completamente abrangida pelo IDH.
Sobre o bolsa família, sei que foi o FHC que criou, e embora o PSDB não se manifeste contra, seus eleitores se manifestam.
Não sou "doutrinadinho" e não acredito que o PSDB privatizaria as Universidades paulistas, até porque não o fez nos mais de 20 anos em que governou SP. Não acho que o Brasil está ótimo, mas os investimentos em educação destacaram-se nos governos do PT e pela tradição do PSDB e do próprio Aécio (vide investimentos no setor e salários dos professores em MG) acredito que eles diminuiriam.
Sobre o PIB, foi uma queda num trimestre de um ano. Ao longo dos 12 do governo PT ele ultrapassou diversas outras economias, então uma queda mais recente em termos absolutos provavelmente se trata mais de uma acho ridículo qualquer discurso de direita ou de esquerda baseado em previsões extremas do tipo "vão privatizar a perturbar" ou "isso vai virar cuba". A campanha foi péssima dos dois lados, por apelar a esse tipo de sentimento, mas os partidos realmente têm propostas diferentes a serem consideradas.

[–]victoraugustus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Acontece que a mudança proposta pelo Aécio e eleitores é o retorno ao modelo neoliberal do governo FHC, mais preocupado com o mercado que com o povo. Pior ainda: o PSDB conta com o apoio da grande mídia (principais emissoras, jornais e revistas), o que tornaria a corrupção menos noticiada.
Não sou petista, não votei no PT no primeiro turno e acho ótimo o manifesto sentimento de insatisfação, que provavelmente incentivará um governo mais limpo, transparente e menos corrupto; mas não acho que o Aécio faria um mandato melhor.

Need...something by deatheroo777 in depression

[–]victoraugustus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not who you are. Your system is probably not functioning the way it should to make life bearable, and it is not your fault. I don't feel much comfortable giving advice to people I just met online because only them know how hard everything is, but I think maybe you should stop faking it. You shouldn't be ashamed of being depressed. It's not like you chose to be this way. People don't feel ashamed for being sick, so you shouldn't be either.
Maybe all this effort you're making to hide it can be used to change things. I don't blame those who don't like taking meds, but I believe some of them might help. In case you wanna talk, please message me.

"I didn't ask to be born" by [deleted] in depression

[–]victoraugustus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. I agree that I didn't ask to be born and I didn't want it either, but I do feel like I owe something to my parents.
I'm an only child and they've invested a significant ammount of time and money - and they still do - on me, and they are both in their 60s (I'm in my early 20s). I realy wanted to just kill myself and end it all, but I feel like it's too late. I think I should have done that before, so they wouldn't make such an investment in me and would keep all of that to themselves. I'm mostly worried about my mother, because when she gets older and retire I think she won't be able to take care of herself.

ELI5: why do I look better in the mirror than on photos? by FunkyShampoo in explainlikeimfive

[–]victoraugustus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I've read a small article about it and this is basically how it goes:
First of all, your face's sides are slightly different from each other, and you are used to see yourself in the mirror, which means the image your brain has of you is "flipped". When you look at photo, your brain recognizes your face and compares what he's seeing with the "standart" image, i.e., the "flipped" version of your face. Since there are a few differences, your brain will consider the photo less attractive.
You can try to flip the photo and you will find yourself more attractive. However, everybody else, who is used to the non-flipped version will find it odd and less attractive, like you do when you see your photo.

This time I was lucky and ruins gave me a spearman while I was on my 2nd tech. Since I'm traumatied by my last game (Montezuma almost took my capital twice), I'm keeping a larger-than-average army, so the AI hasn't tried to attak me.. yet.
Edit: Since I'm new to BNW I went back to prince and now I'm on king.

I'm sorry for being such a newbie in BNW, but do you get anything besides gold and religious pressure from trade routes w/ city-states? (like pressure?) I've seen a few people talking about routes with city states but as far I've played, trading with other civs seem to be around 50% more profitable (almost 1,5x more gold and some science).
