Subcultural Puns

If that makes sense. Basically, just like people wear fedoras or handlebar mustaches as a throwback to the past, people will wear masks one day

pretty much per the title. I am doing some thought-exercises with my wife as far as what a trip to <xyz> might entail.

So, if i were going to England, what kind of ska-oriented places might exist that I should put on the list?

Could be anything. street corner from an album cover? list it.
gathering city square for mods and rudeboys? let me know.
Club that still centers on ska music - definitely let me know that shit.

For this matter, I'd also throw out the same question for punk rock focuses, so don't be shy about that either.

Thanks All!

For example, displaying of pineapples in the swinger community, shoes hanging from powerlines, spider web tattoos on elbows signifying incarceration, etc.

Hello!

Following the trend of surveys on osu! players and whatnot I thought it'd be interesting to see how subcultures interact with other variables at hand. For now, I don't wish to reveal the actual purpose of the survey since I believe it will bias responses, but the title (and scales included) should give you a hint.

This survey requires you to be involved with VSRG-related (Vertical scrolling rhythm game) or other rhythm game related content in some form.

The following survey will be LONG (roughly 20 minutes). Please find a suitable time and place where you can do it with minimal interruption.

The following scales are to be completed in this survey (citations given in brackets):

• Personal investment proxy scale (a small scale created by me)
• Need to Belong scale (Leary, 2013)
• Negative and Positive Affect scale (Mroczek & Kolarz, 1998; Joshanloo, 2017)
• Social Anxiety Questionnaire (Caballo, Salazar, Irurtia, Arias, & CISO-A Research Team, 2012)
• Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (Rush et al., 2003)
• Feelings about Mainstream Culture (Adapted) (Maffini & Wong, 2015)
• Attention to Social Comparison Information (Revised) (Lennox & Wolfe, 1984)

Please take note of the instructions given on each scale and read them carefully The survey requires you to have a gmail account as well since I wanna prevent repeated responses/limit malingering

The link to the survey can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfLnrvJfQXS6TeU-aYdJoDRmClm1ADSwElIvjy335bB6kFiTw/viewform?usp=sf_link

This is just a pet project of mine since I'm only running it at an intermediate level of rigour. I also don't credentials to give other than I'm currently studying psychology. However, I hope that this survey would serve some exploratory insight into how subcultures associate with individual variables.

Thank you for your time! If you have any questions regarding the survey feel free to post them down below.

I'm still working through the article (because most of it is admittedly going over my head) but I do remember seeing the Pantone 2016 Color(s) of the Year and thinking that the committee must have raided Tumblr content and aesthetic boards for anything soft grunge. What do you think of the color choices? Are the Pantone powers that be acknowledging gender deconstruction, appropriating subcultures, or just trying to sell more paint chips? Discuss! (Warning: I have little to no experience in art/culture analysis. I'd like to see whaqt more knowledgeable people think.)

(PS. I originally got the link from here: http://www.metafilter.com/157613/Rose-Quartz-and-Serenity-present-a-far-more-nefarious-situation which has more links.)

I've been here for more than 5 years and the more mainstream reddit becomes, the stronger the cognitive dissonance afflicting the hardcore users gets. I understand that 4chan exists, and that a lot of people use both, but reddit has never been and never will be 4chan. And in the age where everyone and their mother has a smartphone, the Internet no longer constitutes a compartmentalizated subcultural space apart from and not subject to the norms of regular society where invective and insight in equal parts is both accepted and encouraged. Anyone here can turn on their TV to cable news and see how valuable meaningless reproach is. It doesn't advance any ideas, it doesn't enhance any discourse. And it's no more valuable here. The average person, who is now an inescapable part of the Internet, doesn't see it that way. Most people under a certain age with dependable home internet connections and/or smartphones spend so much time online in some type of online communities that this famed dichotomy between online and "meatspace" is not relevant at all. The average person also doesn't see punching down as a manifestation of the much-extolled "freedom" of the Internet.

Anonymous does not and should not mean dissociated. You may see your reddit handle as an identity, but many just see it as an alias, the alias of a human being who they just have not met personally yet. And so when FPH supporters subconsciously see their hate projected onto an identity they see as isolated and bound to reddit, it's pretty likely the human on the receiving end doesn't see that distinction. I don't understand why people are willing to say things on here to people they wouldn't be willing to spray paint anonymously on the side of the other person's house. I'm sure a lot of people would just assert a priori that the different platforms would give the same message different emotional resonances. But again, I doubt the person on the receiving end would make that distinction.

You shouldn't have to use your real name like Facebook or Battle.Net, but you should recognize that other users represent real humans. "Polite society" gets along just fine in the exchange of speech and ideas without textbook meanness.

In the epic struggle of human existence, freedom and self-determination have emerged as moral imperatives - no mere ideals or platitudes, e.g. peace, love (etc). But freedom famously isn’t free; it comes with a price. From eternal vigilance at minimum, it has risen in our darkest hours to the ultimate sacrifice - “buried in the ground” (CSN - www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMfvYxK9Zoo).

This post follows a recent r/psychonaut thread “Alarming Things...” http://archive.is/yGlZq - toward less partisan more informed dialogue (if possible!) - on psychedelic subculture and its potential, in the context of our present historic moment - fraught w/ issues of an increasingly ‘post-truth’ era. (Cf. review by Early of ON TYRANNY https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/books/on-tyranny-review-post-truth-is-another-term-for-pre-fascism-1.3007212 ).

The ethos of liberty expresses ‘the better angels of our nature’ (Lincoln). But not all our ‘angels’ are all that good, apparently. And as ‘man lives not by bread alone but by the nourishments of liberty’ - so our ‘inalienable rights’ have been opposed in many times and places, brutally as ‘necessary’ (and with horrifying results) - by our species 'inner evil genie,' man’s inhumanity to man - AKA the Unspeakable (per Thomas Merton) with its endlessly exploitive ambitions of power, all ulterior motives all the time.

Authoritarianism has taken an astonishing array of forms, as reflects in the record of history and human events - from secular ‘theorizing’ ideologies (e.g. Marxism) to overtly missionary causes ‘gone wild’ – whether of Old Time religion, or New Age - eclectic neotradition of more occult/‘hermetic’ influence.

The psychedelic movement was spearheaded by 1960s icons such as Leary, most famously (or infamously, depending on perspective). Advocacy had 'the serve' with a clean slate as the decade opened, taking the lead in public discourse on wings of enthusiastic hopes and dreams. But amid a series of disturbing events from fiascoes at Harvard (Leary et al) to Charles Manson’s ‘helter skelter’ in 1969 – that changed drastically.

By decades’ end the psychedelic cause fell into disrepute amid a harvest of rotten fruit – ‘proof of pudding’ none very nutritious. In a few short years a tide of public opinion on the brave new psychedelic factor in society turned - and turned off.

Much to its unhappy surprise the 'community' found itself in a disadvantaged position, with its ‘right to trip’ canceled by laws newly passed - and its

I love Cities: Skylines. The DLC, assets, and quality of life mods are unmatched in the genre. That being said, it doesn't have the intense management simulation of some titles from years past. One element I think would add to the challenge and emulate our world today is subcultural groups, similar to those found in Monte Cristo's City Life.

So, what are 'subcultural groups'?

Essentially, they are segments of the population with varying incomes and political views which have immense gameplay consequences. In City Life, there were six: Have Nots, Blue Collars, Fringes, Suits, Radical Chics, and Elites. They were often displayed in a circular diagram like in this screenshot:

https://i.redd.it/ps7rrx7sq9p21.png

A brief description of each:

Have Nots: The poorest citizens of the city

Blue Collars: Conservative middle class citizens

Fringes: Progressive middle class citizens

Suits: Conservative upper class citizens

Radical Chics: Progressive upper class citizens

Elites: The richest citizens of the city

What's the point of subcultural groups?

There were a few major consequences of this system:

1. Citizens demand different things: In City Life, the conservative groups tended to prioritize having public safety while the progressive ones cared most about education. The poorest group just wanted jobs, and the wealthiest group demanded everything.
2. Class warfare: Groups would occasionally get into conflict with other groups; reference the above diagram. Groups adjacent to each other were friends, ones a step further were foes, and groups two steps away were enemies. For example, Radical Chic and Blue Collars hated each other, as did Elites and Have Nots. This conflict meant you had to carefully manage police resources. It also felt a little over the top and unrealistic at the time, but given the political polarization that has developed over the past decade, does help emulate the dynamics of a modern city.
3. The aesthetics of the city: Each subcultural group had different building and car styles that would take over when they move in. The style of the roads and decorations would also change.

How could this be implemented in a Cities: Skylines game?

First of all, I think this would add way too many systems to be a mod or even a DLC. That being said, I could see a system similar to this in a sequel. The sub cultural groups could be different but still embody similar variables. I think it could add both flavor and ma

I don't mean every historical pirate ever or whatever, but in general, in a movie or show or video game, it wouldn't be uncommon for any race or gender or a child or an old person to be a captain or crew member on any pirate ship. They just take in people who fit the bill and pull their weight, stereotypically, and the best or most vicious naturally rise to the top with little politics involved.

My brother and I were discussing it because of the way games like Archeage and EVE Online handle pirate factions.

Because OKCupid has become absolutely terrible at this function. I only want to see women of a certain type, and OKCupid used to be the best app by far in this pursuit. Not anymore.
