Lyhytvideot ja "uutistiivistelmät" ovat irvokkaita ja suorassa ristiriidassa faktapohjaisen tiedonvälityksen periaatteita vastaan.
Nopea videoklippi tai tiivistelmä on automaattisesti julistuksenomainen, eikä siinä ole tilaa lähteiden tai laajemman kokonaisuuden avaamiselle. Tällöin vastaanottaja helposti hyväksyy esitetyn asian totuutena sellaisenaan, etenkin jos ei omaa jonkinlaista pohjatietämystä aiheesta.
Nuoriso on tämän johdosta erityisen altis tällaiselle vaikuttamiselle, oli sen tarkoitus sitten mikä hyvänsä. YLE:n ei tulisi missään nimessä lähteä mukaan tällaiseen roskaan, laadusta tinkiminen vain siksi että "muutkin tekevät niin" johtaa vain tuhoon.
Mark Twain lausahti aiheeseen liittyen jotakuinkin näin: "Älä koskaan lähde mukaan väittelyyn idiootin kanssa. Hän vetää sinut alas omalle tasolleen ja pieksee sinut kokemuksensa turvin."
I'd go for a continuation instead of remake. And I just checked, just last year there have been discussions with Jim Henson Company and Rockne O'Bannon (Farscape's co-creator) about continuing the story. Nothing solid, but there is hope...
Modern visuals, Muppets, a team of good writers and the core cast returning could be really good. Black and Browder wouldn't be too old yet to make the characters work.
That chaotic universe could provide so many posibilities to explore if done right.
That was pretty wild development, yes. But still, we will not make any territorial claims. Doing so would effectively render the protection provided by NATO's Article 5 null. We would once again be alone against a nuclear power with much larger resources than we could ever have.
Finland won't make any claims. This much is certain.
The only way we would even consider restoring the stolen lands would be IF the Russian Federation falls and IF the initiative for reunification would come from the Karelian Republic.
Playstations 3, 4 and 5 are capable of playing Blu-Rays and DVD's. I guess the same goes with the later Xbox-models, assuming they have an optical drive.
I cannot fathom why one would purchase any console without one.
The intranet at my work is a near-useless dumpster fire. Everything is disorganized, all the important documents and instructions are hidden behind completely chaotic branches and layers of creatively named folders.
I have used the wretched thing only once. I instantly downloaded everything I thought I would ever need to an encrypted USB stick, so I would never have to use it again. This was 7-8 years ago. Everything important is always delivered by email and apparently stored to the intranet afterwards. The intranet has been hacked at least twice, but the real number is most likely much higher. For "reasons", all the personnel info has also been kept stored on the intranet, despite the successful hacks.
HIM's demo-version of "Wicked Game" is even better than the album version. I remember how disappointed I was when the original cover wasn't on their debut album.
Andrew Robinson's vision of the Garak's character was that he was sexually attractred to Bashir right from the start. Playing this openly would have been way too much for 90's TV, so he stuck to the idea but downplayed it. Which most likely is the reason why the interaction between these two characters was so great.
Perfumes or scented products are not a problem for me at all, unless of course someone uses way too much. Like I said, I kind of block all the unpleasant stuff unconsciously and focus on the good ones.
It's kind of like listening to radio, all the channels are broadcasting all the time, simultaneously, but you still tune in to listen only one at a time.
And when I'm intoxicated, theyre all blaring at the same time and cannot be silenced :(
I don't usually bring this "gift" of mine up in real life, it tends to create pretty awkward and unpleasant situations.
"Oh, if you have such sharp sense of smell, then tell me what deodorant/lotion/perfume I'm using?" How the hell could I know the names of every hygienic/cosmetic product, especially when the reek of detergent, fabric softener and sweat is mixed with the scent I'm supposed to recognize?
Or people just laugh at me and call me a liar.
But my friends are aware of my talent, when someone is considering to buy an apartment they often ask me to accompany them for a presentation. I can tell almost instantly if there's water damage or mold. When I was buying my own apartment I found one spot under the stairs that had a very faint but odd smell, like wet cement mixed with the smell of a wet dog. There were no water pipes or sewers even near that wall, nor were there any signs of leaks from above. I called the seller to ask about this and he started laughing. The spot was their old dog's favourite place to curl up for a sleep after a walk in the rain. And it was years since the dog had passed away, they had even painted the wall once and renewed the floor laminate after that. So no worries, I bought the place.
Yeah, Covid was a freaky experience. I got off easy, no fever or other symptoms, I just realized one day that I was unable to smell freshly cut grass. Then I realized that I did not smell anything at all.
My sense of smell started coming slowly back after a few days and I can't tell if it's diminished or not. But after Covid every brand of whiskey smells and tastes like vomit to me, so there was a price to pay. Also the smell of someone eating rice cakes became utterly disgusting, as well as yogurt. Before Covid I barely registered these two.
I do not know. I have never actively tried to smell ants nor had them inside any apartments I've lived in. I shall test this when summer returns one day. But I do remember that the ant guy wrote about having some genetic quirk that ables him to register some compound that's out normal human range of smell.
I have a hyper sensitive sense of smell. Sometimes useful, most often a nuisance.
At work the roof had small leak few years ago, I could smell the wet concrete several days before the water reached the ceiling of the upper floor office and became visible. I told my boss about the leak as soon as I had first smelled it and located the correct room. "There is no leak here, you're just imagining things" was the response after I showed the room to my boss. "There is and we shall see in a few days." After 4 or 5 days the ceiling started dripping water and I received an apology.
I've been able to mentally bypass most of the awful smells of the world and people around me as long as I can remember, so it isn't so bad. But after a few drinks the mental filter turns off and I can smell everything, including my own metabolized alcohol infused sweat. That is not fun at all.
Along the years I have managed to scrounge together almost all the gear I always dreamed of when I was young. Nothing really expensive or fancy, but good quality second hand stuff that would get things done right.
But there just isn't any time to use them. And if by some miracle a bit of time appears, it's guaranteed that I'm dead tired and choose sleep.
