  1. Almost 90 pages about a movie where the gist of the posts is about how crap it is. You guys have some determination to focus on things you don't like! Wow. Seriously. Wow.

     

    I'm not sure what the point is, but obviously it's a good way to spend some time on the internet. Having a collective crap on something in the cloud. It's a binding thing obviously. Look how much we agree on how crap something is. But the thing has been released in may. Is the point near when we can agree on hating something else? I'm sure pretty much everything what needed to be said has been said by now. And I'm (obviously) getting to the point where I get the urge to take a huge crap on this thread.

     

    *tries to take a crap but drops a sissy fart instead*

  2. One of the better examples of acid basslines subtly leaking into pop: massive attack - protection. I can vaguely remember there are more trip hop tracks using a 303 to good effect, but i can't find them at the moment.

     

  3. i'm expecting most of the people in this thread to out themselves as Scientologists at this point.

     

    I'll cynically rebounce by expecting you to out yourself as a marketeer for a big pharma company.

     

    Seriously though, what's the point of calling people with a different opinion Scientologists?

  4. I'm not sure this is the right place for these youtubes of Tony Robbins dealing with a "depressive" woman, but I think it's interesting to see how people can go in and out of their "depression". The quotes are there because it isn't a real depression (as explained at 2.00 in the first video), so this case is probably not a good example for the shit some of you are dealing with, but it's an interesting case of human psychology, if you will.

     

    Some notable moments, imo:

    - Very moving part at the 0.55 mark of the second part. Throughout the first part I was still wondering wether or not she was an actress. If she is, she deserves an oscar for this part. I'm in tears every time I see it. Which is quite a number of times, tbh.

    - some insightful stuff around the 13.00 mark of the second part (people who know themselves for swapping between states of depression and anger should take note!)

     

     

     

     

  5. I fully understand where BCM is coming from. People shouldn't be medicalised at such a young age. If only, because the brain is still in full development and the knowledge of the long- or short term effects on a pre-adolescent brain is still up for grabs. I won't say it's never a good idea, but the $3 bln settlement for GSK (prescribing antidepressants to children even though it hadn't been shown to be safe, or rather, there were indications it wasn't safe- among other things) should speak volumes.

     

    Also nice to know: manufacturers of antidepressants use online forums as a way to market their 'ware'. It has been shown that online forums which focus on mental issues tend to help growth of use of anti-depressants, for instance. So if you happen to come across one of those mental illness communities, odds are some marketing people from various industries are active.

     

    Excuse me for my cynical note. But it's always good to take into account some people are making lots of money off of other peoples misery. If medicines help you, by all means go for it. Otherwise, there are lots of other options. Happiness is a choice.

  6. I liked this part:

    so if some random 18 year old kid can "rip off" aphex/sp that well, first of all, ego mandates we'd know exactly who the fuck he is, no mystery or randomness....

     

    Ego has mandates, I understand.
