| I'm somewhere on the far-left. If I had to describe it I might go with Chomsky's term "Libertarian Socialist". I'm not quite an anarchist, as I believe the state should be maintained at a strong enough level until the power of corporations and capital are eliminated. In America you might c... |

| I've had, like, four songs stuck in my head for the past few days, and they have absolutely nothing to do with each other: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=so8V5dAli-Q [ Control is one of my favourite songs, I listen to it almost every day. Gasoline is brilliant too, it goes well with Control. https:/... |

| In my experience, noise isolating earphones tend to cancel out sounds like talking etc. best but be more limited with lower pitch sounds. I have the Bose QC25 noise cancelling headphones and they are excellent, especially with drowning out car/bus noise. If you play something at a reasonable volume ... |

| I downloaded the Blood and Wine expansion on PS4 and it crashes ridiculously often. Sometimes you can get around it and avoid whatever cutscene or battle leads to the crash, but now there is a crash in the main quest, so i'm screwed. Would appreciate it if anyone knows how to fix this. I have the la... |

Favourite album is probably Halcyon Days, it's hard to pick a favourite song, but some would be Hearts Without Chains, My Blood, Paradise and Little Dreams |

| Leaving aside the many inherent flaws of capitalism, I think the main way it works against people with autism is through cronyism. Getting a good job in too many sectors is based on having social contacts instead of skill. Personally I think the corporate structure is at fault, as it encourages patr... |

I really like Ellie Goulding, her music is almost all I listened to for the last three years.
Recently I started listening to Halsey. Badlands is just an unbelievably good album, and there is something unique about her voice.
That's it really. |

| Yes. The principal of the primary school I went to also taught the older student group. At first I was trying to be helpful, pointing out mistakes and questioning some of the things he said. In my mind that would be helpful, but apparently not. I was singled out often and treated with open contempt.... |

And The Weak Suffer What They Must by Yanis Varoufakis.
It's about the history of European currencies since the second World War, and also mentions some of his experiences as Greek Finance Minister. |

Every vaguely socialist thing he has said has been contradicted by his policies and later statements. For example, he says the minimum wage should be higher, but wants to abolish th... |

| I despise Trump. He claims to be an alternative to the corrupt politicians in Washington who take money from wealthy donors. He is a wealthy donor. He says that the rich should be taxed more, then proposes a flat tax of 15%. He complains about trade deals hurting workers, but wants to scrap the mini... |
