Unwashed Village / Re: Why do we work?

« on: August 13, 2015, 03:24:42 AM »

I think in part it goes back to the barter system. "I have x-skill/strength/time and will do y in exchange for your skill/strength/time." If you look at the history of currency it started as a representation of "x-cows for y-sheep" or whatever the agreement was. Eventually that became "valuable metal for x-cows" and then a regulated amount of valuable metal became coins. Now you can argue that the cows turned into a skill and then into a time alotment.

Translating that into work analagies, look at the basics of survival food+shelter. How would you get your food and ensure your shelter? Maybe you're a super hunter but I claimed prime cave realestate. For x amout of meat I might agree to share my cave and you are able to survive another winter.

"Arsenic and Old Lace" partly because Cary Grant (and I'd probably recomend almost anything Cary Grant). I just find it to be a wonderful farce with layers that would be interesting to have seen in the original stage production. I'd especially recomend it if you see it on TCM, the host adding trivia bits was facinating for me

If you hadnt seen anything Monty Python I'd recomend "And Now for something Completely Different." To me it captures most of the best parts of Monty Python, the irreverency of the tv show but in feature film format. (Though I'm sure that you've seen Monty Python before and dont need to be introduced. I'm trying to find time to watch "Anatomy of a Liat" on Netflix, the animated biography of Grahm Chapman, which I'll add to the recomendation list just because I want to see it)

"The Book of Life" pseudo explains Dia de Los Muertes in the thin guise of the gods playing with a human love triangle. It's bright and colorful with enough of the "formula" without overdoing it.

"The Diary of a Doctor as a Young Man" only half the series is on Netflix (6 episodes). This got me seeing Daniel Radcliff as more than Harry Potter, he's actually a decent actor. Basic plot: during theRussian Revolution a doctor is under investigation for forging scripts for morphine. While his office is being searched he reflects and interacts with his past self from his first posting as the doctor in 'hicksville'

I started playing Fallout Shelter but it keeps crashing (ipad2 that's slowly on its march to death)

I've been on this board for nearly ten years and it's the first fallout game I've played.

Diito about the Autism.

I work with adults who have developmental disorders, specifically with someone who has autism and ocd. I wonder if there was more understanding earlier in his life if he would be in a much different situation.

So any idea what I'm supposed to do since I'm a new guy?

Step one: walk to the Bastard Bar (it takes more than one set to get there, probably about 100 or so)
Step one-oh-one: first round's on you. Introduce yourself.

And dont mind the tangerines, they're just for ambiance
