Listen, we can’t all be Sid Meier or Edmund McMillan. Some of us are just a 14 year old who’s learning Java for the first time. Doesn’t mean it isn’t fun.
Isn’t this because of those special stamps they use in Japan to notorize documents? I heard about them on a podcast: 99percentinvisible.org/episode/hanko/
I am especially interested in the initial migrations into the Americas 15,000+ years ago, but our community is small and my interests large, so… any great documentaries are welcome.
For me it’s watching petapixel (a photography gear review channel) on youtube, not because i want photography gear, but because i think canada is beautiful especially in winters and so are the pictures in the video
By commercialism, I’m aiming at a mix of spending a lot and sifting through bloated business models (e.g. this or that accessory/equipment, microtransactions, etc.). Feel like many can relate to this sort of commercial fatigue, and yet it creeps even into hobbies where one tries to unwind....
I remember being really creeped out by The Car movie when I watched it as a kid. So much that it’s stayed with me well into adulthood. Anyone else affected the same?
I have come across a lot’s of people like these. like 99% of them. Sometimes it makes me think twice if what i am saying is wrong? What’s wrong with them. Is it so hard to swallow your pride and acknowledge that the other person is speaking facts? When they come to know they are wrong they proceed to insult/make fun of...
It’s a basic psychological need to be able to trust that your brain can be right. A lot of psychological problems can result if you don’t trust your own brain to be able to solve problems and cope with new information.
Some people don’t learn the value of accepting mistakes/failure as part of learning. As a result, they will associate being wrong with weakening the trust they have in their brain. They don’t want to believe that their brain may not come up with answers for the problems and changes they face in life. So they will deny that their brain is incorrect.
It’s an ugly insecurity, but it’s totally understandable from an evolutionary perspective. We need to be able to trust our brains to navigate life’s challenges. People need to be taught that it’s okay to make mistakes, and that admitting when you are wrong is an opportunity for personal growth.
Seriously this was very surprising. I’ve been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it’s a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn’t “true open source” but it’s a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app....
Sponsorblock simply jumps the video ahead automatically. If you’re okay with doing it manually, you should have no objection to a simple labour-saving device in the form of a browser plugin
I use Patreon and Nebula yes. But I don’t think creators should feel entitled to people watching the ad section of their videos. And advertisers shouldn’t feel entitled to have their ads be seen.
Kinda. YouTube has stats about which times of a video are watched more proportionally for a single view. You can ironically usually use this data to see when a sponsor spot ends (to skip to it) since there will be a peak in the watch time curve.

What's some amazing technology they have in Japan that's very normal to them but would blow our minds here in the US and western world?

I wanted to try out Serato Sample’s new stem separation tool added in 2.0 so I downloaded a crack to see if it was worthwhile....
What is your favorite anthropology documentary?

Does anyone know what a genome destabilizer is?
Someone told me about them but I don’t know what exactly they do. Thx.
What is something you watch/do but not for its intended purpose?
