Thanks for your explanation!
Today, I read about spontaneous and responsive desire (I learned something new :)). Spontaneous desire means that you get aroused mentally first, and then your body responds. Responsive desire means that you need to get into the activity first, and only then do you become mentally aroused.
Is this the same thing?
Would you mind expanding a little bit on the topic of “reactive libido”? I googled it but don’t think I full grasped the concept.
Brandon Sanderson writes amazingly rich fantasy stories an created wild lore heavy worlds in his books. But his books are also behemoths with thousands upon thousands of pages that require some serious time and commitment to read. Maybe not the best for beginners to start getting into fiction.
I’d recommend the Harry Potter books because they start easy and get more mature with each book. Also the story and lore is widely known and liked by a lot of people.
This is actually a pretty hard question. At first I couldn’t think of any show but the more I thought about it the more came to my mind.
I narrowed it down to these three:
Not because I’m so old but because they where first aired in my home country in the early and mid nineties when I was at my granny’s place a lot of afternoons.
Later I moved town, kinda lost touch to my grandma and wasn’t really there when she got very old and then died.
Looking back it’s really sad that I wasn’t there for someone who spend a whole lot of my childhood with me and in fact was always there for me.
That was me a while ago. Removed pretty much all mods and finally finished the game. All in all it was a great ride but in the end the game was kinda dragging (finished Phantom Liberty first than last quest of main game) and I’m glad it’s over.
There’s also the Vorwerk Tiger. That’s a whole nother beast of a vacuum cleaner
That’s the German way! 😁
New motorcycle, tetraplegia.
But how is this a sad story? Babies grow so fast that they easily can skip a size… Am I missing the point?
And, wouldn’t this be the real sad story? “For sale, baby shoes, too big”
Implying that the baby died before it could grow into said shoes?
That’s a fair point and I agree with you that it’s difficult to enjoy soulslike (I am referring to the game’s I played. I’m sure there are exceptions) in short bursts.
But I don’t know whether this is because of their higher difficulty compared to the games you mentioned (which I didn’t play a single one of) or because they’re overall slower games.
They are and in a weird way they aren’t… I didn’t play a WHOLE lot of souls likes. I finished Elden Ring, am pretty far into Dark Souls 3 and Lies of P, played some Dark Souls 1 and 2.
The thing is: Yes, you die very often for sometimes maddening and sometimes silly reasons, but you get better: The mechanics just start to “click”, you earn just enough souls to afford another level up or some piece of equipment, you learn the positioning of you enemies, their attack patterns, timings etc… And slowly and steadily you progress: Around the next corner, to the next boss, you beat the boss. Then you come back to an area you already visited and murder everything…
And if you can’t progress in any way there are summons (players or NPC) that can give you an edge or you try using consumables you forgot about…
Especially the Fromsoftware games have managed to hit that sweet spot where the game is challenging but (most of the times) doesn’t feel unfair or broken. It’s just an amazing piece of game design and you should try it. :)

Doctors still do this, at least in Germany. When you’re a smoker and getting pregnant, your doctor will most likely not try to bully you into quitting, instead they inform you about the risks and recommend you to cut down the smoking to a minimum but they will also acknowledge that you will most likely not overcome your addiction while your body is already under a lot of stress.
Why would that happen? There’s no proof that printing money (while considering the boundaries of the real resources like available work force) automatically leads to hyperinflation.
Okay, but even if the USA can’t change the law regarding states bonds, it is virtually impossible that people stop buying US states bonds since the US Dollar is kinda like the most established currency in the world.
So your argument is completely theoretical.
Serious question? Money today is nothing more than a number in an account. When a country needs more of its own currency, it can increase it’s account by that amount.
Then stop selling bonds and start investing directly (build schools, repair bridges, pay your employees, etc.).
Countries don’t have to take the detour through state bonds because they can make money out of thin air. State bonds are a self-imposed and there’s no law of nature that mandates using them.
They seemed to think that tax revenue in some way has to happen for spending to happen.
Noo!
But the federal government creates money ex nihilo.
Yes!
Money has to be created before it can be destroyed through taxation.
Yes!!
We do not rely on the money of the wealthy. What matters is actual, real resources and services we can provide.
Yes, yes and yes!! ❤️
Thanks for your concise explanation of MMT! I wouldn’t be able to phrase it this well. ❤️
Public sector debt is private sector surplus.
Yes! This is the very essence of our monetary system that nobody seems to understand.
