People seem to flourish the most in societies that have some degree of market capitalism, though also with strong support for those at the bottom of the ladder. I will add, though, just to challenge a premise of your question, that by every possible measure, the citizens of communist countries are miserable and unfulfilled. Involuntary and unchosen suffering of the sort you’re talking about is totally different, and I think-contrary to some-that there is little to be said for it. My book is a defence of chosen suffering, everything from hot baths to BDSM to scary movies to training for a marathon to having children. I think there are some interesting issues here, but I should emphasize that I am not overall in favour of suffering. But is it not also true that Western culture, particularly the economic structure we live under, also fetishizes achievement? And is there not a risk in telling people that they have to suffer to live meaningful lives, when they live in an economic system that benefits from suffering (for example, the overworking of employees)? You say our culture suffers from a fetishization of pleasure. SUGGESTED READING Schopenhauer vs Nietzsche: The meaning of suffering By Joshua Foa Dienstag We want pleasure, of course, but we also want to have meaningful lives, to be morally good, to have intimate relationships, to enjoy a range of experiences, and much else. One purpose of my book is to argue against this, to defend what’s been called motivational pluralism, which is the view that people want many things. Some people, especially in the modern West, think that all that matters for a good life is pleasure. So here’s a different way to frame my view without that annoying word. I don’t think that someone who equates happiness with pleasure is making a mistake they simply have their own definition. Has western culture misunderstood happiness to mean comfort and joy? What do you think the source of this misunderstanding is?Įveryone seems to use the word “happiness” in a different way, and I’m cool with this. One purpose of my book is to argue against this. This refusal to treat pleasure/happiness as the sole goal of life is a surprise to some (though, as I point out in the book, old news to many others, particularly those steeped in religious tradition.) ![]() But I argue that suffering gives us more than pleasure, and more than happiness that it is central to goals we have that are entirely separate from those of pleasure and happiness. ![]() Now a smart hedonist can concede some role of suffering-maybe suffering now leads to more pleasure later, and the math works out so that choosing the suffering is a smart move for someone who only wants pleasure. If this is your perspective, then the importance of suffering can get missed. Many people, including many psychologist colleagues, think that we are hedonists-that pleasure is all that matters. Why do you think that claim can come as a surprise to some? The fundamental thesis of your new book, The Sweet Spot: The Pleasures of Suffering and the Search for Meaning, is that suffering is necessary for a happy and meaningful life. But without the pursuit of experiences and goals that entail a certain degree of suffering, our lives would be meaningless, argues Paul Bloom in this interview. Western culture today equates the pursuit of happiness with seeking out pleasure and comfort.

We've made so many adjustments that a lot of our own suggestions have already been implemented, which is where you come in. Keeping in the spirit of the community-suggested update, we've listened to YOU and decided to release the tweaks as they are developed rather than saving them up for one big update. You may have forgotten that some of those changes used to be different!Īlthough we all LOVED seeing a release note list that long, you may have noticed lately that since a lot of the original game's content has been released, we've been lacking release notes at all! You can view the whole list over here on the final Toontown Tweaks Blog Post from last year. That post turned into one of our largest updates EVER, resulting in some of the biggest and most loved changes for the game. The idea was a hit, and so we proudly put together a big update consisting entirely of community-suggested tweaks. Last year, we released a Backstage post just like this one where we talked about making a couple of Tweaks to Toontown. Just like last year, we're going to talk about making. There's a lot we've been working on, but first it's time to talk about something more along the lines of the "classics" in terms of updates. And quite honestly this land is a new standard for us and we’re extraordinarily proud of it.Did you miss us? We're back for another exciting Backstage Column, where we talk about the inside scoop of the Toontown Rewritten team. They are the people that will bring to life, the passion, the empathy, the sensitivity of what this land is all about. So you’ve heard enough about me, I wanted to just take one last shout out to our cast members, the operational cast members, you see them in their costumes throughout the park. So I’m very, very pleased to be able to talk about those kinds of things as well. ![]() We wanted to make sure that to all of our guests, and especially our children with a variety of different capabilities and abilities, that this was a welcoming place for everyone. One of the things that went into this was care and thoughtfulness. And the hot corner of the park encompasses, when you walk right outside the gates of Toontown, it encompasses the Tale of The Lion King at the Fantasyland Theater, the Small World attraction, the parade step-off and so many other things that happen in that area, it makes this multi-layered experience on this side of the park so extra special and really, really effective, so we’re thrilled about that, as well. To give you a little bit of context, Toontown lives right here in what I have been calling the ‘hot corner’ of the park. And again, I would like to give a big round of applause to all of those people that worked on it here today. So, in addition to Imagineering, one of the things that we think about are all the different disciplines and people and groups that went into this very layered experience. We hope you’ll look at it through those lenses today as you get to experience it.īy the way, doing something like this is truly, you know, a team effort and it takes a village to make it happen. ![]() And I think the Imagineering team built this and developed this with such sensitivity that it really is coming through. One of the things that we wanted to be able to do is recognize that this was going to be a land that was available, not just to all of our guests and our families, but all children of all capabilities and all ages. One of the things that I think is so incredibly important, is recognizing that Toontown, and what we tried to accomplish here in Toontown was really not just creativity and hard work, but a labor of love. And today, Toontown is one of those very, very exciting and dear milestones. But we built it in such a way that we would have new milestones along the journey. We launched our celebration in January, and it continues to do extraordinarily well. ![]() The next step could have been done several ways. At this point the arrangement was very similar in concept to the Buddipole "arms" except for the materials used and the tubing dimensions. The extra nut was then removed and hammered into the opposite end of each section of PVC. With another connecting nut threaded onto ther exposed bolt threads it was relatively easy to hammer them into the PVC tubes until the first nut was level with the end of the tubing. A 36" length of 1/2" ID PVC conduit was cut int two equal lengths and a combination of 1" long connecting nuts (3/8"-24) and 1 1/4" 3/8-24 bolts were assembled using high strength "Locktite" to form the connector at the lower end of each "arm". We made a conscious decision to emulate the design of the Buddipole system when it came to the design of the "mast". As we worked on the project we realized that we could simply substitute a mobile dual band antenna that was designed for both bands and used a 3/8"-24 mounting stud at it's base. ![]() It consists of four radials, two cut for one band (2 meters) and the other two cut for a different band (70 centimeters) The radiators consist of a "vee" with one leg cut for one band and the other leg cut for the other band. The basic design of the antenna started out to be a variation on a design concept that has shown up in the pages of QST and on the Internet fairly frequently. Small wire nuts were forced onto each cut end to protect assorted body parts like hands, eyes etc. The 70 centimeter radials were cut to 6" from the center stud and the 2 meter ones were cut to 19 1/4". Once the inner ends were fabricated, the radials were installed and then measured for the final cut appropriate for the band in question. Thus, less stuff to drop and lose in the field. ![]() That way we never have to completely remove the bolts from the mount in order to mount the radials. This end was made this way to slip under the four bolts in the corners of the mount. The radials wer heated at one end using a blow torch and then bent into a "U" shape with a 45 degree bend downward just past the horizontal "U". These are slightly less than 24" long and made of steel. ![]() The radials for our antenna were constructed from Insulation Supports made by the Simpson Strong Tie Company. Another two similar holes were drilled and tapped in the vertical surface of the aluminum angle to permit the mount to be secured to the mast without additional nuts, washers etc. These holes were tapped 3/16"-24 because that was the closest tap set we had at the time, not because there was anything special about 3/16"-24. We drilled a 1/2" hole in ther center of the horizontal portion of the angle and four smaller holes in the corners of the same surface. We could have simply gone to the nearest CB shop and purchased a mirror mount for a CB antenna but we had the raw material and he had the skills to make the project work. Since I was visiting my son Steve, KC1AJC at the time, he perused the "junkpile" in the corner of his workshop and began to fashion a suitable antenna mount from a scrap of heavy angle aluminum. I decided to do things a bit differently. According to the instructions from Buddipole this was to be used when erecting a vertical antenna using the components of the Buddipole system. This little project came together after I purchased a Buddipole HF Antenna System and noticed that the "Versa-Tee" in the system had an extra mounting hole on the top surface. ![]() Pour passer les scenes, "sexy lesson" car c'est pas une histoire, c'est parfois assez ardue, d'une facon generale faut la manette occulus, le X, Y et la manetre de direction, puis toucher les zones bleue, coute bien ce qu'elle te dit, si ça passe pas c'est que tu a oublié de faire quelque chose ou fais quelque chose qui lui plait pas, dans ce cas au bout d'une bout elle reset ^^ Pas possible de ramer autant, c'est tres mal expliqué.Īpres ça tout marche avec la version acheté Steam Pour l'avoir nu ça se passe dans le jeu, dans interface gauche occulus "nudité", tu choisi naked 5- tu a aussi ici, je ne sais plus quelle discussion un dossier à DL qui remplace les textures intimes 2D par des 3D, là comme indiqué dans le dossier téléchargé tu remplaces les fichier manuellement 4- Tu prends le dossier abdata du 18+, tu le déplaces simplement dans le dossier steam qui a Abdata, tu acceptes de remplacer les fichiersĭonc tu cherches pas à l'installer toi meme, ni meme à l'executer dans le dossier steam 3- Tu execute la patch 18+ steam dans un autre dossier bureau J'ai bien ramé aussi, je te dis les erreurs que j'ai fait, on ne sait jamais. ![]() Her clothes just stay on and it just takes me to another touching scene. I haven't even been able to unhook her bra when she asks for help and I've tried everything. I have the folder installed in the Game folder but I'm not getting any of the uncensored scenes. ![]() If you installed the patch properly you can undress Sakura through the menu while in a scene All you have to do is merge the patch 'abdata' folder with the one already in the game directory. I guess I am assuming it is restoring the original files? In the game, is there a way, after you launch it, to tell whether or not the 18+ patch is there or not? Thanks for any info. When I try to validate the game files, it tells me 130+ of the files can not be validated and it needs to replace them, and then it proceeds to download and replace those files. I also tried placing the original abdata folder on the desktop and then dragging and dropping the new abdata folder and same thing. I run the game and all I get is a "loading" message and the game never even launches. From here I have attempted several different ways from renaming the original abdata folder to abdata orig and then dragging and dropping the new abdata folder. In the Steam app, I located the VR Kanojo game, click on properties and the folder opens up. I go to the VR Kanojo website, download the patch that specifies it is the Steam 18+ patch, run the exe file and I get the abdata folder.

I can not get the +18 patch to work on the Steam version. ![]() Knox has been way more miss than hit this year, and especially compared to 2021, but the Bills face the Dolphins in Week 15. HAIL MARY START: Dawson Knox, BUF - If you’re on Yahoo, the answer is Jeff Driskel, who the team listed as a tight end last year, giving him eligibility there this year. Moore is WR37 since Week 7 with 8.6 FPPG and is now pushing for the team lead in receiving yards (sad, I know). No matter what the Texans do at quarterback, the Chiefs are a favorable matchup for wideouts, especially as they push opponents to play keep-up. HAIL MARY START: Chris Moore, HOU - Speaking of the Moops (Seinfeld fans understand), if Nico Collins remains sidelined, you can take a flier on Moore if you’re thin at wide receiver. Nope - strike that now that Zach Wilson is starting with Mike White out. As long as the weather stays out of the sub-30s and with no precipitation, fire up Moore in Week 15. For the year, the Raiders are the only team worse against slot receivers, and since Week 8, they “jump” to 27th, while the Lions are dead last. POSSIBLY START: Elijah Moore, NYJ - With Corey Davis sidelined, Moore steps up in the target share pecking order, and boy is the matchup ripe for a big game. Campbell is a free agent - yes, he’s already that old - and Pierce has the bigger play, and higher touchdown, potential, especially against the porous Vikings defense. As mentioned in waivers, I lean Pierce slightly over Parris Campbell, as Pierce is the potential future No. POSSIBLY START: Alec Pierce, IND - It was a long wait from Pierce’s third double-digit score to his fourth (six games), but he returned to relevancy with 8-4-86-1 against the Cowboys in Week 13. Nevertheless, Akers gets a favorable matchup (Packers) and is RB10 the past two weeks. HAIL MARY START: Cam Akers, LAR - This is why I drafted Akers in Rounds 4-5 - miss the playoffs and win my consolation bracket on his shoulders! It’s still extremely dicey to trust this offense, the broken offensive line, Sean McVay or even Akers himself. ![]() Dobbins and Edwards is enough volume to make Edwards a decent flier versus the Browns and their lack of a run defense. Yes, the Steelers defense is vulnerable, but 28 combined attempts for J.K. POSSIBLY START: Gus Edwards, BAL - Tyler Huntley sounds likely for Week 15, but it’s not going to change the Ravens’ game plan of running, running and running some more. And that upside would be in the fringe QB1 range. Ridder is actually a good pocket passer, and a game of 225 passing yards with 1-2 touchdowns is doable, even against the Saints, and then an added 40 yards on the ground with a hope for a rushing touchdown gives Ridder floor and upside. He can run, but he’s not going to take off every time. POSSIBLY START: Desmond Ridder, ATL - In his first game?! Are you mad?! Well, let’s consider Ridder the runner, because his ability gives him a Daniel Jones-like fantasy outlook. This is chasing upside and often carries more risk. #CheckTheLink-ageįantasy Football 101 (weather, lineups, trading, more) ![]() Maybe you found/saw others, so please share them if you have ’em.

It sits on the side of the gearbox on front-wheel drive cars, and on rear-wheel drive it sits down by the rear wheels separate from the gearbox. On the gearbox side, the driveshaft is mounted on what’s called the differential gear. A more affordable repair would be to simply change the drive shaft boot before it’s too worn. If this is the case, the constant velocity joint itself is exposed to dirt and water and may result in the entire drive shaft being replaced. You can only partially pass the MOT if the CV joint boot is worn down or torn. When conducting an MOT, this part is examined under the category “drive shaft joint constant velocity boot” and the mechanic notes to what degree it has deteriorated. As mentioned, this part is covered by a ribbed rubber boot. The drive shaft joint is sometimes referred to as a constant velocity (or CV) joint.
