bird food bathtub posted:The magnetic poles, as in the things compasses respond to and that generate earth's magnetic field, switch every few hundred thousand years (from memory) due to ongoing processes in the planetary core that are not understood yet to the best of my recollection. The weather poles, as in where the cold air is/stays, are 1000% straight hosed and it's due to man-made climate change destabilizing the atmosphere. The magnetic pole reversal and structure of the earth's core fascinates me because it's one of those annoying science problems we could solve in a week if we could look at it, but we can't, even though if you look down right now it's literally a few thousand miles under you. The geographic poles, yeh, we've melted those, the bad news hasn't caught up with our perception of time yet.

The first Matrix was a pretty predictable plotted, mediocrely written, but tried to make up for it with SFX. It didn't work on me. The choice to tinge everything a sickly green didn't translate well off movie screens at the time. The whole thing was overhyped to Hell because of SFX, and rewatching it a few years ago, it mentally went into the same category as Armageddon- dumb brain candy that doesn't hold up to any critical application. The 2 sequels were worse. I think the 1st movie is a beautiful allegory for transitioning, but without that context it's a garbage summer movie. I'll have 2 Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers, and a baked potato. E- because I word gooder.

It's possible but unlikely that it was a vaccine reaction, but if it was it's the result of taking a die that comes up snake eyes one time in ten million and rolling it 150 million times. The rational thing to do is compare that to the COVID death toll and decide what risk you want to run, but there's a shitload of people who look at the two risks and say "eh, these are more or less equal, imma take my chance with the disease because vaccinations are scary." My boomer dad basically told me that verbatim. He was in the Army during Vietnam so he has the story of the assembly line of vaccinations and getting shot up with like ten of them and it not being a big deal, but the conservative internet has taken over his brain.

There was a really good lecture by a british virologist on our radio when I was a kid, which annoyingly I don't think is available anywhere now, where he talked about the risk of taking a vaccine vs not getting it (20 years ago our media was a lot more grown up). He put it out simply, if you take the shot you've probably got a 1 in 1 million chance of your immune system going boom, happens, that's life. If you don't get the shot and the disease is everywhere, depending on what it is, you might have a 1 in 100 chance of dying or being disabled. Basically, get the bloody shot. Explaining that is hard though.

Human brains are dumb as poo poo though. "I know this guy who got a vax and then [bad thing]" sticks in our primate brain much better than an entire page of statistical calculations. Basically "one death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic" is how we think. This is like the tip of the iceberg on this, but I'm doing 10 things right now: https://blog.rewardian.com/blog/2016/09/21/data-told-as-a-story-is-more-memorable-than-on-its-own-research-finds No idea what Rewardian is, but Chip Heath is a known researcher of this stuff. I use his ideas/work in fundraising all the time. Tell stories, then give numbers that back them up, basically. Edit: Also, relatability is huge. The more someone is like you or known to you, the more you will believe what they say. So "my coworker's brother" that had a 1/1 million shot thing happen is more relatable to you than the 40 year old widow on TV in tears begging everyone to get vaxed because she just watched her husband die. Our brains are dumb, and nowhere near as logical as we'd like to think they are. stealie72 fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Dec 14, 2021 |

Obviously I don't know all the details, but the guy is convinced the vaccine gave his brother heart problems that required him to get a pacemaker. Pretty much. It’s a justification for views he already holds, inflamed by mass media hysteria. If I went and bopped a few million forty year old men on the head with an inflatable alligator, one or more of them would shortly thereafter develop heart problems that required a pacemaker. This does not mean that my Alligatoridaen assault on their person caused this.

Oh yeah, I also dropped out of my free ride at MIT because I'm edgy like that. I also have zero game with women even though I look like I was grown in a vat of pulped-down Men's Health magazines."

I dunno with the new Matrix. I would like to have seen the universe explored more without Keanu mostly because it seemed like his story was over. I am hoping that since Keanu is back that the Wachowski's have something special and unique planned to explain it. Or maybe the suits in Hollywood just threw a bucket of money at them! We will see!

It's only Lana and someone else (not her sister though). They actually did explore what happened after the third film in The Matrix Online game, I think it takes place after the 3rd one and Neo is missing. But you might want to check a wiki for that as I only vaguely remember it. Honestly, I just hate how it keeps resetting and there is no real ending. I'll still never fully get into the "oh poor robots" thing, since they're machines and I'm just never going to buy into it (this is also true with Mass Effect...but that's more because Joker just wants to bang a robot). Then again that's because of Terminator and also how it always goes wrong and it's tied to someone wanted to bang their machine or something equally dumb (like let it control SAC). I also have the same issues with the Planet of the Apes movies. I'll fully admit to these all being weird takes (well not the resetting part).

This one is hilarious, that library is used by just about any large scale java software so it might as well be a standard library. You can make it load code from a location of your choosing with zero effort. People will be exfiltrating data via that for the next decade, 'cause are you entirely sure that one box on your network doing enterprise reporting on something dumb isn't running it? Bet it does.
