That's that lovely show where they contrive social situations with actors and hidden cameras, right? Yeah I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that every single moment of that exchange is fake as balls.

SLOSifl posted:Everyone involved including the "racist", except the actual customers, is fake, yes. The whole point is to see what the unaware people in that situation do. Most of the time, it's nothing, and those people sometimes get called out for it too. The ones who give a stupid explanation (and have time for an interview) end up on the show, but that's not exactly the point. Yeah I was calling out the customers for being fake as well. Reality TV is notoriously manufactured.

1stGear posted:YOU ARE WEAK LEETLE MAN I'm short as gently caress so becoming like a "real" strongman was never in the cards, so having giant monolithic men talk down to me doesn't phase me anymore. It's more like a "I know, please don't crush me." Also British powerlifters must have the best accents, especially if they're posh.

I meant in the sense of like having one of the biggest upper limits for weight possible. My frame may be compact but it can only hold so much muscle, y'know? It's an ugly truth that when you're smaller, no matter how swole you are, you'll get wrecked by a bigger dude with a greater reach in the vast majority of cases no matter how well trained you are. We all love David vs. Goliath but the reality is that we love it because most of the time Goliath wins by a sizable margin.

It's like y'all are wholly incapable of actually processing what I wrote. I know short guys have an advantage and I'm actually impressed to see how much that Ed Coan could lift, but that's not what I'm talking about-- I'm talking about the real upper limits of what's possible. Guys like Ed Coan may be great but they're also the exception due to the raw physics of taller-yet-still-reasonably-compact guys being able to put on more muscle fiber if both of them train equally well.

Blue Footed Booby posted:I love how this tech just quietly chugs along with minimal fanfare, improving lives. Every time I see pictures or video the limbs have become simultaneously sleeker and more complex. Nice to see fancy tech that isn't either consumer gadgetry or for killing people. Research Deus Ex then realize that even in 2000 a lot of its ideas were pretty old hat. This poo poo frankly wouldn't exist if there weren't consumer and military applications for it, military especially.

Don't trust reddit. Ever. Reddit pomps itself up as a populist website but it's run by power users and/or corporate plants spouting bullshit stories and has been for years now. It's owned by Conde loving Nast for god's sake, it's not some basement labor of love like 4chan supposedly was or even an Elite start-up story like Facebook. It is and always has been a corporate for-profit enterprise masquerading as "content submitted and determined by the users."

poptart_fairy posted:But what about when Reddit posts are disproving Reddit posts. That's the rub of reddit. It's the best link aggregator website I personally know of, even if most of its communities and general corporate ethos are absolute dogshit. That said there are pockets of quality and sincerity by basic semantic definition alone-- if most of the content is manufactured and/or fake, then by definition the rest has to be sincere.

I'm going to go against the grain and say don't bother with Agents of SHIELD unless you're watching a highlight reel of Season 2 made up entirely of Kyle MacLachlan and Adrianne Palicki. Maybe Season 4 will shake out better and the Ghost Rider stuff is promising...but the batting average has been low so don't get your hopes high.

As an autistic, you make do with what you have and learn to be grateful. You learn to not give a gently caress about what other people define as 'good.' Drawbacks and limitations *can* really suck, but I'm confident y'all can relate to that. I doubt you're all good enough to be astronauts.

Snowy posted:In 9th grade we were called to a schoolwide assembly in the big amphitheater for a movie about recycling and energy conservation or something like that. A really boring movie that felt like it was from the 50s started playing on a huge screen. Everyone was immediately bored out of their minds until the screen split in the middle and smoke machines, strobe lights and lasers started going off. The screen opened up to reveal a rock band who did a full set of songs about nuclear energy and conservation or something like that, it’s been a long time. It made things worse.

Solice Kirsk posted:No they're not. Kids have no impact on anything. They'll grow up, file into the same lines we're in now, and vote the same way their parents did/didn't based on their own experience. Nothing will change because it's been made to not change. These kids grew up with a much more stable internet/communications infrastructure from birth alongside an America that has always been suffering for the sins of the last Century. They're in a prime position to both give a gently caress and give a gently caress in a meaningful way. Things likely won't change because of them, like you said our system has gotten really good at limiting the effectiveness of the lower classes thanks to the 60s, but the kids do ultimately have a better shot.
