I am not deliberately trying to criticise you, but I do want to offer friendly advice and help you in these social situations. don't expect you can instantly resolve any of these overnight because it takes a while to change habits, especially ones you might not be aware of. I recommend trying to spend just a little extra time observing, taking a breath, or whatever you do to relax and calm down, to also reduce your anxiety. I am also guilty of these from time to time so don't make it your life's work to live by these.</p><p><br /></p><p>0. if you have anxiety or any kind of worry, others will pick up on it and it rubs off on them too. the easiest way to avoid this I find is just smile or compliment people at any opportunity, and it's free! a great way to break the ice too. if you're struggling with anxiety, my advice is always tackle it head-on rather than bury it, be that challenge someone or talk about how you feel, let it go, or write something down and save it for later. if you're not sure how you feel, shut your eyes, deep breath and take a moment to compose yourself before answering. there really is no rush to respond quickly.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. speaking too loudly amongst friends / not reading the right volume at the right time. try to be aware of how loud everyone else is and how loud you need to be, at any given time</p><p><br /></p><p>2. pedantry over terminology can come across as being a smart ass, even if you don't intend to. instead try to play it a different way, maybe "I looked into this and as far as I understand it, correct me if I'm wrong, so in a nutshell..." it's very mature to state humility up front, as often just telling people facts about things is informative, but jarring depending on context and the flow of conversation, so it's good to try and be emotionally intelligent and use mature defence mechanisms</p><p><br /></p><p>3. forgetting things, multiple times you've left something behind. I'm sure everyone forgets stuff every now and then. I would advise that before going anywhere, even if you're just doing something as casual as leaving the bus, always do a 360° and look around your surroundings and review where you were before leaving</p><p><br /></p><p>4. speaking in monotone, it can make people seem "boring" when one's speech is devoid of emotion. so whatever possible, always try to add a little more energy into the way you're speaking, like sing-song, or raising tone up instead of down at the end of the sentence, or smiling when you're talking (you know that saying, you can tell when someone on the other end of a phone call is smiling). there's a really good TED video called "how to talk so people will listen", I recommend that, and generally any of their popular videos</p><p><br /></p><p>5. at any possible opportunity, share something positive to talk about like a funny experience or something cool/interesting to you or that you're passionate about, rather than a negative one. sharing your frustrations with the world works best when it's a shared pain because then you can connect with others (if you remember the ending of the film Inside Out). </p><p><br /></p><p>6. don't feel you have to fill silence with conversation, although conversely, randomly bringing up topics if the energy is high is a great way to connect and enjoy discussing things you're passionate about </p>Robert Cathleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14080940874985245713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46328175822611789.post-69156005203388608202022-12-01T01:54:00.003+00:002022-12-01T01:54:33.978+00:00Counter-arguments against transphobic statements<p> In response to replies about <a href="https://twitter.com/marksandspencer/status/1596478710164619264?s=20&t=u5R9E6BY2ZOK9tjvUAbcow">Marks & Spencers</a> setting up unisex changing rooms.</p><p><b>"Sex is binary. There are only men and women. You can't change someone's sex."</b></p><p><b>That's not what trans people are asking for</b></p><p>Nobody is saying you can change your sex. I mean, technically we are all female when we are conceived, and then the XY chromosome triggers testosterone, but apart from that, sex is probably immutable... in humans. <a href="https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/sa-visual/visualizing-sex-as-a-spectrum/">It's not binary</a> either, because you have intersex people and many other factors.</p><p>However, changing sex isn't what trans people are asking for.</p><p><b>Trans people experience gender dysphoria</b></p><p>What they are asking for is to help them feel comfortable in the gender that the gender dysphoria they experience tells them they are.</p><p><a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/05/180524112351.htm">Studies show</a> that trans people typically appear to have a brain that matches the pattern of the gender they identify as. So it's not just in their mind, there is a physical difference between the brains of men and women, and trans people seem to have the opposite brain.</p><p>Nearly half of all trans people have attempted suicide, and this is because of the discrimination they receive. The hatred they endure on a daily basis makes them physically ill too.</p><p>And some just can't handle it, which is a huge shame, that people aren't being accepted by a society just because it's how they were born - some even submit to performing surgery on themselves because of how disassociated they feel in their bodies and the sex people say they are.</p><p><b>Being trans is not a choice</b></p><p>But even if there was no evidence we found to physically prove someone was trans or has gender dysphoria, why should we not believe someone? We don't currently know what makes someone gay, lesbian, or bi. And we respect other people who didn't choose how they were born either, like if you have a disability, or their race. Then there are some things we protect that we don't have control over like age, religion or belief. Same goes for what someone says their favourite colour or flavour ice cream is. Then there's stuff that is protected out of respect, like marriage or civil partnership, and pregnancy and maternity. </p><p>So because trans people don't choose to be trans, they've been observed for thousands of years, in other species too, and they tend to have a poorer quality of life, and basically out of sheer respect that we have for each other (and it's really not a lot to ask to basically trust someone when they share how they identify), it seems completely fair to prioritise gender over sex in basically all social situations. Do we need to know what's in their underwear?</p><p><b>"Too many men violate women"</b></p><p><b>The slippery slope fallacy</b></p><p>So I'd like to point out a likely <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt4f7QrfRRc">slippery slope fallacy</a> in your argument - that there are "too many" men violating women. I agree with you, there are way too many attacks on women - however, firstly, the majority of attacks on women are not in safe spaces. The <a href="https://www.thehomesecuritysuperstore.com/blogs/the-home-security-superstore-blog/the-5-most-common-places-for-attacks-on-women">top places to be attacked</a> are in the home (domestic), parking lots, and generally outside e.g. parks, on the street. All of these places are gender neutral. The number of attacks in changing rooms is very rare. And the number of attacks by trans women on cis women is even rarer.</p><p>The overwhelming vast majority of trans women don't attack cis women. If anything, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbQZ7jAvgoI">trans people are actually more scared of cis people than you are of them</a>, because they terrified of being judged and rejected by society.</p><p>But if we take your logic, shouldn't we ALL men from from spaces women use? No, because it would be a slippery slope to assume that every man will attack a woman - because <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/articles/thelastingimpactofviolenceagainstwomenandgirls/2021-11-24">attacks on women overall is about 25%</a>, which is the minority. So overall, most men are trustworthy, and it would be disproportionate to ban men from basically all public spaces. We don't have statistics for how many trans people there are, as so many of them feel do not feel comfortable to out themselves, because of how unaccepting we make them feel, but statistically the fraudulent ones are an an extreme minority of them.</p><p>I'm not saying that fraudulent trans women don't exist. However, to judge all your views on trans people based on a really small subset of them, and then pair them with the bigger problem, cis men, is not a fair conclusion to make. In the same way we don't assume that every Muslim person is a terrorist, or that every person wearing a hat is a pedophile. To do so is to stereotype, jump to false conclusions, and underrepresents the vast majority of law-abiding, good-willed citizens who aren't like that</p><p>So therefore, for the overall number of trans people exist that are law-abiding and good-willed, we shouldn't let the fraction of them ruin it for the others. </p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>Trans people just want to feel accepted for who they are, more than anything, and I'd argue that it's ethically and morally wrong to not trust what trans people say. In nearly all cases, having trans women in women's spaces, which is one of the far few places that women are attacked, should not be a major concern, and is actually a distraction from the far larger problem of domestic abuse.</p>Robert Cathleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14080940874985245713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46328175822611789.post-41499667995882062842022-03-14T03:28:00.000+00:002023-04-19T01:24:13.970+01:00Useful websites (via TikTok)<p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="https://www.mybib.com/">MyBib</a> - Citation generator</li><li><a href="https://sci-hub.hkvisa.net/">Sci Hub</a> - Get free access to paywalled papers</li></ul><p></p>Robert Cathleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14080940874985245713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46328175822611789.post-10825889403980458842022-03-13T03:26:00.068+00:002024-03-03T00:45:03.375+00:00How is JK Rowling's blog on sex and gender transphobic?<p> In June 2020 JK Rowling wrote this: <a href="https://www.jkrowling.com/opinions/j-k-rowling-writes-about-her-reasons-for-speaking-out-on-sex-and-gender-issues/">J.K. Rowling Writes about Her Reasons for Speaking out on Sex and Gender Issues</a></p><p>So what's wrong with it?</p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Her main point is that because she was abused once by a man in a toilet, no men can be trusted. She's actually following the slippery slope fallacy: not all men are abusers, and a very low number of people are trans - <a href="https://www.stonewall.org.uk/the-truth-about-trans">Stonewall</a></li><ol><li>Slippery slope fallacy explained: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt4f7QrfRRc">TED-Ed</a></li></ol><li>It's far less likely than trans women (also better called <i>women</i>) will attack women than men, even though Jo repeatedly points out about trans women using changing rooms and toilets.</li><ol><li>Trans people are "so much more scared of you than you are of us" - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbQZ7jAvgoI&t=279s">TED</a></li></ol><li>She basically ignores the concerns of trans people</li><ol><li>In the whole reported LGBT+ community, trans people suffer the most and commit suicide the most compared to any other group - <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-lgbt-survey-summary-report">National LGBT Survey 2018</a> </li><li>Trans people also attacked just for being themselves, in public, in the workplace, at home - literally everywhere. And it's getting worse - <a href="https://transequality.org/blog/murders-of-transgender-people-in-2020-surpasses-total-for-last-year-in-just-seven-months">Transgender Equality</a></li><li>Gender dysphoria is the reason trans people exist - it is a known and proven medical condition where the mind's version of things (gender) and the body (sex) don't line up (<a href="https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/gender-dysphoria/">NHS</a>). Trans people's thoughts stem from mild unsatisfaction to committing suicide over it. Some have even performed surgery on themselves over how desperate they are for their body to match their gender. Imagine that - being so disgusted or out of touch with your own body that you self-harm. Trans people are constantly reminded about how ingrained gender is in society - pronouns, toilets, clothing, and filling out forms are all triggers that make trans people think of who they aren't. (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iKHjl5xAaA">YouTube</a>) (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrYx7HaUlMY">TEDx</a>)</li><li>Science shows that brain structure difference aligns with the gender people perceive themselves to be (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7415463/#:~:text=It%20is%20known%20that%20the%20structure%20of%20male%20and%20female,gender%20to%20which%20they%20identify.">PMC</a>)</li><li>Being trans is not a choice, and therefore, trans people deserve equity and the chance to live their lives as their authentic selves - everyone deserves the right to be authentic about who they are. Even if that means people putting someone's preferred gender and pronouns first over their biological sex.</li><ol><li>Even if being trans was a choice, it still doesn't matter.</li></ol><li>There are other people in the LGBT+ community who aren't trans but also don't identify as a specific gender - they don't "feel" male or female. The most common gender instead is "non-binary".</li><li>Trans people are not trying to erase sex or gender, or bring about the "erosion of women’s and girl’s rights" they ultimately just want to be accepted for who they are. Trans people want to feel included, and there is no harm in including trans people to society or language. Including trans women in <i>women </i>only strengthens women, it doesn't deteriorate it. - <a href="https://www.aclu.org/news/lgbtq-rights/four-myths-about-trans-athletes-debunked">ACLU</a></li><li>Misgendering people is a form of violence as it causes physical pain - <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/transgender/misgendering">Healthline</a></li><li>The best way to be inclusive of trans people is not to question them, but to listen, and accept them for who they are. Rather than be gender critical or trans exclusive, what trans people need right now is support.

The only evidence she's cherry-picked is basically that girls are effectively being peer pressured to transition because of the pressures women have against privileged men, and this is obviously a generalisation and not the rule, and does not mean that discrimination of women leads to transitioning.</li><li>She is right about "a person’s gender identity is innate, like sexual orientation", <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10519-018-9889-z">which it is</a>.</li><li>She then generalises again, saying "The argument of many current trans activists is that if you don’t let a gender dysphoric teenager transition, they will kill themselves." This is a false generalisation - as stated in the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-lgbt-survey-summary-report/national-lgbt-survey-summary-report">National LGBT Survey 2018</a>, trans people have a lower satisfaction, and yes, they do commit suicide as stated, but that does not mean all of them do, and trans activists don't mean that either.</li><li>She then proceeds to conflate gender dysphoria with other mental conditions such as "anxiety, dissociation, eating disorders, self-harm and self-hatred" and jokes that she might be trans for the next 3 paragraphs.</li><li>Her next point is about desistance: "between 60-90% of gender dysphoric teens will grow out of their dysphoria". She doesn't take into account that the studies have been discredited or that if being transgender "persists during puberty and into adolescence, it is very likely permanent" (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_dysphoria_in_children">Wikipedia</a>) (<a href="https://www.kqed.org/futureofyou/441784/the-controversial-research-on-desistance-in-transgender-youth">KQED</a>). She hasn't taken the full picture into account.</li><li>She goes on to claim that she has "met some trans people", she picks out a single example with anecdotal evidence, which is a logical fallacy.</li><li>She then goes on to argue in favour of "rigorous process of evaluation, psychotherapy and staged transformation" just so that "A man ... may now ... be woman in the sight of the law". How exactly does this affect her personally?</li><li>She argues about the importance of biological sex - see below</li><li>She thinks that language such as ‘menstruators’ and ‘people with vulvas’ are dehumanising and demeaning, when really, they allow for precision. In the same way that I can call a sweet red salad ingredient a tomato instead of just calling it a fruit. She specifically says "for those of us who’ve had degrading slurs spat at us by violent men", as if abusive men alone are responsible for how terms are used. It's scapegoating of trans people. It's like saying you're not going to do anything to stop climate change becase a penguin in a zoo once looked at you funny.</li></ol><li>her fifth point</li><ol><li>she gives her personal experience and anecdote, however she disproportionately thinks trans women ("any and all men") are the problem, even though there isn't anything to stop an attacker of any gender entering a toilet, and this was one negative experience. It would be safer to provide gender-neutral self-contained toilets, or just combined gender-neutral toilets, so that there is a greater chance of someone being present to witness.</li><li>she goes on for the next three paragraphs to raise that she has "solidarity and kinship" for trans women specifically, but states that's only if a trans person is being attacked or abused. Why can't she show that solidarity with a trans person just trying to be themselves in any normal situation, when they already feel uncomfortable, in some cases will even avoid going to the toilets because of rejection? It all points to Jo just not educating herself on the daily life of trans people and the issues they face.</li></ol></ol><li>She then goes on to conflate sexists with trans activists as being generalised discriminators of women (at: "We’re living through the most misogynistic period...")</li></ol><li>She basically supports "importance of biological sex" over gender, but as discussed, when it comes to trans and non-binary people, their sex is not more important over their gender. Why is it important to put sex over gender?</li><ol><li>Medical reasons - I think that's a completely valid reason, but does it have to be public? No</li><li>Confusion over whether you should be attracted or not - Why should the sex interests of others decide whether trans people can use non-binary pronouns, toilets? How does it even affect you, personally? Does it make you uncomfortable of your own gender? Does it lessen your own gender in any way? No, it doesn't. Trans people are not out to "confuse" you or "trick" you into being attracted to them, trans people just want to be treated like normal people. And if you are attracted to them, you have to ask yourself, what is your sexuality? There's nothing wrong with being attracted to trans people, even if they haven't had surgery. Not all attraction is sexual either, there is also romantic and platonic attraction which is separate to sexual attraction and they don't have to overlap.</li><li>There is a lot of toxic masculinity in the world. Straight white men are those most privileged group of people, and women are disproportionately abused by men including domestic violence, lower pay, treated with less respect, and not given the same opportunities. Straight men are stereotypically aggressive compared to other groups, and some people don't want to associate themselves with masculinity. Note that we have many biases around sex and gender as well. - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq_xYSOZrgU">TED</a></li><ol><li>However, this should not be falsely appropriated to trans people as a scapegoat for a wider problem.</li></ol><li>When it comes to boys and girls, in the example of toys, there are plenty of gender-neutral toys so it's not accurate to say that boys and girls prefer gendered toys outright. (<a href="https://twitter.com/rjc_uk/status/1396452458394685442?s=20&t=xZK9ukA-4_75Pn2VbHzs3A">Me</a>)</li><li>One day, we should be able to reach a point where labels are not needed at all, where everyone is accepted equally regardless of their sexuality or gender and considered normal in everyone's eyes universally. Until then, labels are necessary to support others. (<a href="https://twitter.com/rjc_uk/status/1435656199047892998?s=20&t=xZK9ukA-4_75Pn2VbHzs3A">Me</a>)</li><li>We may have an instinct to determine someone's sex when we meet them, and we may be programmed to put everything into neat little boxes, but we have to learn to look past that. Ask yourself: Why does it matter to you what someone's sex is? - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCLoNwVJA-0">TEDx</a></li></ol><li>She goes on to talk about trans activism on social media, but does so in a highly condescending way: "because of course trans rights are human rights and of course trans lives matter – scoop up the woke cookies and bask in a virtue-signalling afterglow"</li><ol><li>She says trans activists are "offering cover to predators", which again is a slipperly slope, as not all trans people are predators, and if predators really want to enter a toilet, regardless of their gender or sex, there is no force field to stop them.</li><li>She goes on to suggest anyone that doesn't support her have never been abused, which again is gross assumption, oversimplification, and slipperly slope.</li></ol><li>There is more than one sex, and more than one gender</li><ol><li>Sex determination is a spectrum - <a href="https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/sa-visual/visualizing-sex-as-a-spectrum/">Scientific American</a></li><li>Our language and mindset already supports non-binary. We already use "they" and "them" when we don't know someone's gender, like a placeholder, and so they are the most inclusive terms - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46ehrFk-gLk">Tom Scott</a> (and also <a href="https://twitter.com/rjc_uk/status/1502864419180748803?s=20&t=ZPVLM_JWKor-UultlS36tw">me</a>)</li></ol><li>She offers no other alternative solutions to the problem, instead basically coming to the conclusion that trans people don't deserve the right to identify as the gender they say they are at all, including but not limited to gender affirming certificates that support a birth certificate, using toilets that match their gender, or using pronouns</li><li>She is not an expert on trans matters, but effectively acts as if she knows everything, and that imbues her with power in her words because of how famous she is. She doesn't quote or refer to a single trans-inclusive entity in this blog or any of her tweets, instead coming up with everything on her own terms and understanding.

The installers are partially cumulative updates on top of one another - meaning that by the fourth episode, a lot of the code in the previous versions was updated. The installer automatically replaces any old files based on their date - whatever is older automatically gets replaced with the latest version. The order is as follows:</p><p>1. City of the Daleks</p><p>2. Blood of the Cybermen</p><p>3. TARDIS</p><p>4. Shadows of the Vashta Nerada</p><p>5. The Gunpowder Plot (has its own launcher so can be done separately)</p><p>B. The Steam versions appear to put a valid keyfile.txt in the installer so that the games can be run and skip the validation entirely. It might be unique to each person's copy. I've not tried running it without Steam installed. Some other code was updated in the Steam version to add achievements, alongside general map and audio updates, so you won't want any of the achievement code if you're using these versions.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Here's a summary of the changes made:</b></p><p>1. Extract the EXE file with an InnoSetup extractor such as <a href="https://www.legroom.net/software/uniextract#download" target="_blank">UniExtract</a></p><p>2. Using <a href="http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/" target="_blank">Resource Hacker</a>, or a hex editor, you'll need to edit the file DoctorWho_Pc.exe as per the following screenshot. By changing the JNZ (Jump if not zero) to a JMP (always jump) - explained <a href="https://www.aldeid.com/wiki/X86-assembly/Instructions/jnz" target="_blank">here</a>, you can skip over the code that performs the validation. Here I am editing version 4.0 of the file which was in the fourth episode, Shadows of the Vashta Nerada.

Next, you need to use <a href="https://jrsoftware.org/isdl.php" target="_blank">Inno Setup Compiler</a> to open the install_script.iss and compile the binary (Build > Compile). The output is the .exe file as above.<p></p><p>7. Rinse and repeat for all 5 of the installers. I'd recommend replacing the file DoctorWho_Pc.exe in each of the installers you recompile so that all of them can be installed. Note that The Gunpowder Plot uses a different EXE entirely so the hex edit will have to be reproduced for just that one.</p>Robert Cathleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14080940874985245713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46328175822611789.post-90030159650571836102020-08-06T20:48:00.007+01:002021-05-26T13:17:48.670+01:00Keeping your home network secure<ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Privacy</li><ol><li>Use a VPN that isn't part of 5/9/14 eyes, has unlimited data, doesn't log you <a href="https://www.vpn.com/guide/spreadsheet/">https://www.vpn.com/guide/spreadsheet/</a></li><li>Reduce Microsoft telemetry with <a href="https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10">O&O ShutUp</a> - and <a href="https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/malware-microsoft.en.html">why</a></li><li><a href="https://pi-hole.net/">Pi-hole</a></li></ol><li>Updates</li><ol><li>OS</li><li>Apps, firmware, drivers</li></ol><li>Credentials</li><ol><li>Passphrases instead of passwords, or random passwords and a password manager</li><li>Unique passwords for everything - <a href="http://haveibeenpwned.com">haveibeenpwned.com</a></li><li>Enable 2FA on all accounts</li><li>Change default passwords on all IoT devices including the router</li></ol><li>Router</li><ol><li>Move to WPA3 and change and hide your SSID so your model of router isn't publically available and it can't be tracked to your name.

Can tell you're putting in more effort in making more engaging videos, keep it up!</div><div>Surprised this video isn't an ad sponsored by a certain chicken restaurant...</div><div><br /></div><div>The point about taking a moment to appreciate things even if they aren't nice can be applied to other things as well, such as being grateful for what you have. In addition to being aware of your surroundings, another aspect would be reflection, which everyone does. A more prominent need is the necessity for taking breaks or thinking mindlessly in general, like Newton with the apple thinking about gravity, or Einstein on a train thinking of the speed of light as he observed a clock moving away from him.</div><div><br /></div><div>I imagine blind or deaf people might not like this video. I guess also anyone with hypersensitivity may struggle as it may be out of their control.</div><div><br /></div><div>The way you described it makes me think that wine is a type of creative art, rather than a means to become inebriated. That's an interesting idea I never thought of before.</div><div><br /></div><div>As for food, I think it's slightly different, as it has texture as well as taste. Only through repeated exposure can you overcome evolutionary responses of disgust, rather than open-mindedness alone. Many people reject marmite or fish for example. Maybe some people are also masochists, like people who like spicy food. It's interesting that astronauts like a lot of spice with their foods because their olfactory senses weaken due to lower gravity making their noses stuffy.</div><div><br /></div><div>Obviously I wouldn't recommend people who are allergic or intolerant to drinks/foods to try them.</div>Robert Cathleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14080940874985245713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46328175822611789.post-16262481619978761662020-06-22T23:36:00.002+01:002020-06-22T23:36:33.187+01:00Re: Who's More Free an Addict or a Slave? - Positive and Negative LibertyIn response to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf4fRe_BqYg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf4fRe_BqYg</a><div><br /></div><div><div>I see liberty and freedom as the following, without doing any research at all except your video:</div><div><b>Liberty </b>is the right to do something (legal protection)</div><div><b>Freedom </b>is the opportunity to do something</div><div><b>Free will</b> is the ability to choose and perform something</div><div><br /></div><div>An example might be driving a car.</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>When you turn 16, you're afforded the Liberty to drive unrestricted - without fear of punishment. (Given assumptions/restrictions such as driving in an emissions and electrically safe approved vehicle, following the laws of gravity and not flying in the clouds, and abiding by the DVLA)</li><li>Freedom is having the resources to actually drive, such as money, time, a parking space, a licence etc. This is partly 'driven' (pun intended) by equity.</li><li>Free will builds ontop of that and is basically a decision tree of to drive/to not drive/to buy a car/to not but a car/to run people over/to clean your car/to pick up your nan from hairdressers, and all possible permutations.</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div>Positive and negative liberty as you described them seem to map to my definitions above - negative is my liberty, and your positive is my freedom or even free will. A parasympathetic pathway/prohibition/hinderance/negative liberty is a bouncer stopping you from entering a club. A sympathetic pathway/entitlement/positive liberty is you having the personal ability to choose to go to the club in first place, the money to pay for entry, clothes on your back, etc. You can see how free will gets mixed up there.</div><div><br /></div><div>In the case of the driver's addiction, in my opinion their free will is being obscured. Legally they can smoke. They obviously have the money/freedom to buy cigarettes. But the addiction in their mind is simply cutting off options from the decision tree. It closes doors and narrows the possible permutation paths down to forced destiny.</div></div>Robert Cathleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14080940874985245713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46328175822611789.post-29829184837086839572020-06-22T23:19:00.005+01:002020-06-23T00:38:06.069+01:00Best mental health advice I've received<span id="docs-internal-guid-143681f3-7fff-da59-684b-de21bb5c8580"><ul style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><li dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="inherit">Don't worry about what everyone else expects you to be, or do, or think about.

<br />
Overall super impressed. It has brought to life a cherished game of mine. The original game to me is my favourite game of all time. The remake so far hasn't taken that spot, but it's certainly given me strong feels, shocking moments, kept me entertained, and intrigued. I've wanted to cry, jump for joy, have had huge nostalgia, and just love seeing the game in the best possible way it can be.<br />
<br />
The game has deviated in some ways (especially the Whispers and some minor plot points removed), but overall it is highly faithful and I am genuinely impressed. I am very much looking forward to the next one. Given the changes made, I really hope the rest of the game is only 1 more part as they've made significant investment in building up hopes for the rest of the story, and I don't think 2 or more parts properly justifies the deviations made. If I could know it was a closer match story wise, then I'd be up for 3 parts, but imo it could break the immersion and continuity a lot.<br />
<br />
The game is very, very stable. Some weird camera controls sometimes, but no bugs. Had 1 crash when loading from an autosave in the collapsed freeway, it froze during the loading screen so I killed it and loaded a full save instead. However I'm impressed how glitch free the game is.<br />
<br />
Visual quality is absolutely stunning and the characters are brilliantly brought to life. They are absolutely nailed in terms of voices, behaviour, look, animation, everything. Cloud and Barrett especially are exactly as they should be on all fronts. I am in love with Cloud more than before and can't wait to see the rest of his story unfold.<br />
<br />
Some textures are really low quality such as the doors in sector 7 slums, and the view of the other plates when climbing the tower in some shots towards the end of the game is very poor and reminds me too much of the old game with static low resolution backgrounds!<br />
<br />
Some weird plot changes such as the Whispers. In my opinion, pointless, and are there only for dramatic effect, and are a bit meta as a representation of oh, let's kill Barret, but then actually the rest of the story needs him, so bring him back. That's destiny! Or more, that's the plot.<br />
<br />
There are some good plot changes, such as the side story with Jessie and new character Roche, I thought that was excellent. The majority of the game is all excellent in its deviations until the end.<br />
<br />
President Shinra was killed on view, I thought it was more more impactful in the original seeing blood everywhere and his corpse. It was more shocking in the original when you look inside the Jenova chamber as well and see the severed head. I remember that scene scared me before but all that has been lost in the Remake which is a real shame.<br />
<br />
I'm surprised by the amount of shots of future scenes like Nibelheim and the reactor there, the end of the game, and hints at Aerith.<br />
<br />
I like the extension of the use of the Sephiroth clones as puppets, from what I recall that only was used in the original once you'd left Midgar.<br />
<br />
I'm not happy with the scenes removed at the Honey Bee Inn with Cloud and the creepy music plays, and when Cloud gets on the bike at Shinra rather than waltzing in already on it.<br />
<br />
I'm hoping they bring back all the scary elements because so far it's completely missing the scary factor that out the game on another level of creepy.Robert Cathleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14080940874985245713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46328175822611789.post-10071442410431084772020-03-29T18:57:00.000+01:002020-03-29T19:16:45.994+01:00Star Trek Voyager - Favourite EpisodesTop favourites:<br />
