Dutch woman, 29, granted euthanasia approval on grounds of mental suffering
  • Shithole no, capitalist very much so.

  • Dutch woman, 29, granted euthanasia approval on grounds of mental suffering
  • I think it's technically illegal in most countries (suicide I mean, not specifically the bridge variety).

  • Trail in the woods [OC]
  • It has a nice depth which is often not easy to achieve with this subject, well done! The grading also looks really nice, subtle but powerful, really like it.

  • Relatable
  • The LOTR trilogy is an epic saga, the hobbit movies are a theme park ride. A nice theme park ride imo, but yeah they don't have any of the depth and gravitas of the OGs.

  • Great Mystery of How Ancient Egyptians Built The Pyramids Finally Appears Solved
  • Born too early to explore the galaxy, born too late for beer to be my primary food source.

  • Chip Enjoyers - What's your favourite brand/type of chip?
  • Yeah these are nice.

  • Don't try me because I looked at the Playtex girdles and feared nothing.
  • I'm pretty sure my first song took multiple days. That was on WinMX mind you.

  • ‘Outrageously small,’ Chipotle says there’s been no change to its portion sizes despite complaints
  • Why am I getting downvoted while all the answers agreeing with me are getting upvoted? ^_^' Genuinely asking so I can be a better person.

  • ‘Outrageously small,’ Chipotle says there’s been no change to its portion sizes despite complaints
  • I've been to Chipotle while on visit to the US. The portions should definitely be smaller anyway.

  • I fall now
  • Now this is good, clean humour. Not antagonizing anyone, subverting expectations, with a splash of nostalgia and tropical images springing to mind, it's like spa day for the brain.

  • What's your most unpopular opinion about music ?
  • I think even bagpipe players agree with you.

  • American Airlines is Issuing 'Poverty Verification Letters' For New-Hire Flight Attendants Because Their Wages Are So Low
  • Oh for sure at the end of the day it's still massive corporate industries so, ya know, corporate gonna corporate... Long gone are the days where it was a dream career.

  • who's tried it? what does it taste like?
  • Wait is dry actually related to sugar content? I mean it makes obvious sense now that you said it but I'm so used to using dry/sweet for wine based on the taste and never really made that connection that it was sweeter because it actually had more sugar, I guess I thought it was pixie dust making it sweeter.

  • American Airlines is Issuing 'Poverty Verification Letters' For New-Hire Flight Attendants Because Their Wages Are So Low
  • Yeah but they also used to have a good enough pay that it was still an okay deal, even if the clock only ran during aircraft movement. It's still the case with other airlines I have an old friend that went to work for Etihad and he seems to be doing fine. Tells me about the nice weekends away all over the world during rest time, lives in a nice apartment in Dubai with a view, etc. Granted I'd never want to live there but I'm sure you can achieve similar lifestyle with other international airlines (Singapore, KLM, etc etc).

  • What open-source software would you like more people to know about?
  • Would this work at a professional level? I haven't tried Gimp either in a long time these days, but I think it hasn't gotten much better? I think most of everything else I've "de-adobe'd" and either use FOSS or other proprietary software like DaVinci Resolve or Bitwig with reasonable purchase options, which I could all use on Linux but I don't think I can really leave LR+PS as they're so core to my daily work.

  • In your country, what "common" animals are tourists most excited to see?
  • Who doesn't like a full rack.

  • New life hack
  • You cannot lose!

  • The Dublin Portal: When a New Yorker gave them the finger, Dubliners returned the gesture
  • Yeah they should be traveling expositions, move both of them to new cities at the same time, repeat all over the world.

  • FOSS tools like Studio Binder for filmmaking

    Hey there, I'm looking at producing my first documentary and one of the tools people use for that is called Studio Binder. It's an all-in-one for making your scripts, shotlists, moodboards, location scouting, storyboards, production planning, collaborators management etc etc.

    Any of you know of similar tools that are FOSS? I think some VFX/animation pipelines also have similar needs.

    I already found storyboarder for making panels which seems amazing but I'm getting a bit lost in the jungle of options for the project management/scripting side of things. I'm considering Airtable for example but might be overkill for my needs.

    Ideally it's something tailored for filmmaking specifically but open to hearing about general purpose planners that can be adapted.

    [DISCUSSION] I'd like to share a branch of Hip-Hop/Trip-Hop that you may not know about if you don't know the French scene

    Hello! As a newly arrived Reddit refugee I thought I would try to contribute. I might start posting individual tracks if I sense interest but for now, let's start with a broader overview.

    There is a branch of hip hop very close to my heart, one that has a relaxed, elaborate ambience on boom bap beats with twists.

    I won't pretend I have historian level of knowledge but you can think of it as a continuation of artists like nightmares on wax, tricky, etc but also massive attack, portishead and that kind of more melodic trip hop. Some of it mixed with traditional rapping.

    This all mixes into the French melting pot and you get this back and forth between traditional hip hop with a rapper, and this abstract, melodic Trip-Hop scene. You'll also find influences from reggae, dub, punk, rock, jazz, Celtic, Arabic, oriental etc etc etc, since this is very much a world of samples, while some artists do compose everything themselves.

    Now of course all these things exist outside of France but I've explored a lot, I don't even live in France and I listen to many genres, and for me at least it's in the French artists from which I tend to find "that sound" that works for me.

    Now to get you started on the journey, some of the more mainstream artists to search for in your preferred streaming service. I keep it to things international people can listen to (e.g. no/limited French lyrics).

    • Chinese man (the masters, within this artist alone you can find many of the substyles I'm talking about I prefer the older albums by I hear youngsters enjoy the new stuff)

    • Degiheugi (more modern and his own unique twist, kinda tropical)

    • Chill Bump (these guys are more traditionally hip hop, the lyrics are in English, but you can still sense the influence)

    • Kognitif (this is very much the essence of what trip hop means to me)

    • Guts (here you'll find more ethnic influences, he also makes live musicians participate to his productions)

    • Scratch Bandit Crew (not a fan of the whole discography but the good tracks are really, really good)

    • Mounika (and finally, one of my all time favourites in his decidedly more chill and dark vibe, bordering on lo-fi at times).

    There are so many more great artists and if you did want to try one with French lyrics, then in the more traditionally hip hop category but embodying this branch, I suggest starting with "Dooz Kawa".

    I hope that I might make a few people curious with this and maybe even create a new passion or two for my beloved flavour of trip/hip hop.

    Share your own regional artists that you think upstage the usual international stars in their own way!
