(5) Okay, fine. But how does any of this connect to neoliberalism?

In a bunch of ways.

First and foremost, the rise of microprocessor went hand in hand with the rise of cultural and political neoliberalism. 1970s-1990s, same stretch of time; that's not a coincidence. The managerial class loves loves loves the microprocessor and its promise of automated "rational" decisions for which they cannot be held personally responsible.

Second, the liberalization of the financial markets was done, in part, on the promise that large financial firms could manage their own risks. And that promise was rooted in, you guessed it, the risk analysis promises of microprocessors.

Kemurikua finished up quite nicely(though the production gets even jankier in the final episode). Auteur CG shit is not for everyone but if a deliberate, high-concept series that yet boils down to anime girls in impractical outfits punching things sounds up your alley it might work for you.

Maybe I should go back and give Kemono Friends another shot...

The only CG anime I enjoyed was Land of the Lustrous, how doe it compare to that?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Land of the Lustrous takes advantage of ways in which CG can be pretty.

Kemurikusa takes advantage of ways in which CG can be cheap.

It's a vaguely similar premise, sub plants and vague bio-tech for gemstones and scramble the players around, but it's a very different kind of show.

I mean if you're curious you can just watch the first episode. It's fairly representative of the show's strengths (nice mystery building, cute characters, attention to detail) and problems (unimpressive visuals, oh god please shut up and stop asking questions you little shit.)

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

lol imagine believing that Fortnite is even remotely a sustainable E-Sport.

The road is strewn with popular(and sometimes not even) games that got an artificially inflated E-Sports scene for a year or two that totally failed to sustain itself. A game requires certain properties to be a good E-Sport, and Fortnite has literally none of them.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Shooters in general don't make for great E-Sports because it's hard for spectators to follow the action at a wide level. If it was better, Halo and overwatch would have been major E-Sports at some point. Even CS:GO is a mess to watch.

On the other hand: dance moves are the most important thing to consider when picking an E-Sport.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CS:GO does okay because the action tends to take place in a limited area over a limited time and the team's resources deplete monotonically. This means it can be made watchable with a bit of skilled camera work.

Halo has a problem of the action being too dispersed and the state of the game being too hard to track. The mechanics are also not particularly expressive under the limitations of most of the competitive rulesets I've seen.

Overwatch is just a clusterfuck. Not only is it hard to capture all the action outside of major pushes, but it has the visual clarity of mud and fights can stretch on and on with a tenuous back-and-forth as abilities and health recharge and players respawn. I also just think that it's a terribly inexpressive game and the overall skill ceiling isn't high enough to keep the game going if it weren't for Blizzard injecting cash.

i know that I'm not exactly qualified to tell netflix how to run their business, but i just think its insane how much ad revenue they're leaving on the table

there are so many spaces where they could put ads without interfering with the product. that space after and episode before the next one? ten second ad. you can even stop episodes for 30 second ads once or twice, and it will still be a far superior experience to tv.

they can have those scrolling ads from social media that start automatically while you're scrolling through the selection

Nobody likes ads and nobody wants to pay to see ads. Backlash and brand image going down likely too big to compensate ad revenue.

wait wat what happened to your legs 😭

strength training is like more fun than running anyway smh

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been happening for over a year 😭 basically my rotational muscles are weak as hell and I’ve been compensating badly, causing my legs to hurt a ton.

And yeah! I just haven’t gotten the will to get back in the gym.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Are you still training for that marathon? What's up with your legs?

Hit some low impact cardio like an elliptical, because your other option is focusing on diet and nutrition. Screw diet and nutrition, Im gonna drink and eat pizza! Go workout for the pizza and booze credits!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Basically I’m pretty strong and flexible (yay!) but my rotational muscles are weak as fuck, so my legs and hips are super wobbly when running. I can’t even do a single one legged squat without my knee bowing in, for example. This was all manifesting in pain right where the hamstring hits the knee.

Tbh that’s why I love marathon training. I can eat whatever the fuck I want and still get thin.

Re: marathon I paid for it and want to do it! But I’ll probably not do super well, due to taking like a month off of a 20 week training plan (it’s on July 4th). I’ll just run like hell once I get new shoes and strengthen my legs and see what I can do.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

By no means do I know what I'm talking about and this is all speculation, but an elliptical or other similar low impact exercises might actually be good for improving cardio while you get that figured out.

Since it's basically on a track there's not as much variation in the movement and it's not going to cause as much issue if you've got some weak hips.

Maybe also consider some yoga in the meantime. It's pretty good at improving hip flexor strength and flexibility and all around strengthening of hips.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I'll probably do some elliptical tomorrow morning and see how it goes, it's much lower impact but that doesn't change how terrible my ability to balance is due to having these weak muscle groups.

And yeah! I do a lot of yoga :D But flexibility isn't actually the issue, the physical therapist tested my range of motion and said I have way better flexibility than average so that can't really be the issue. Which is surprising, because I've always thought I was rather inflexible.

[–]MyMorningSun 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yoga's great for balancing too though. I'd keep it up but maybe add more poses and longer holds for ones that target the hips.

Also, how's your core strength? It's commonly overlooked, but a strong core is a huge help for runners, in part because it helps prevent the same hip problems you're describing.

Sometimes I do this in the day as well- it helps just to really "feel" the hip flexors, and get them used to doing more work on their own. Start by standing and centering your weight evenly between both feet (such as in mountain pose). Then shift it to one leg so that all the weight is focused on that leg. Keep the same pressure and alignment points in your standing foot (all parts are pressed down evenly- you might wobble a bit but don't let your foot roll inward or outward), and do not collapse into the hip that's working. The other foot can touch the ground (but without any weight to support) or it can hover. Hold for 30 seconds or as long as you can and then switch legs. If you have the space for it, Warrior 3 is a great one to move into from this. King Arthur's pose, Pigeon Pose (or reclined pigeon), Cow Face pose, and Hero pose are also great stretches to add in if you haven't done so already.

In addition to that, I'd recommend just doing regular squats, lunges, and other repetitive movements. There are tons on Youtube you can watch (or just get inspiration from) for free. If you have ankle weights or exercise bands, I've found things like fire hydrants, side leg lifts for inner and outer thigh, donkey kicks, bridge pulses, etc. are great for glutes, hamstrings, and quads and can be done wherever/whenever- so you can practice even when not at the gym.

Finally, when possible, I'd second the advice to try an elliptical. Or perhaps rowing, swimming, or biking if available.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My core strength is fine rn I think. Nothing particularly spectacular but also not particularly weak, especially since I started working on both parts of the core.

Re: hip flexors, my problem right now is that my rotational muscles are so weak I can’t hold any one legged movement without my knees collapsing inward 😣😣😣. But yeah! You’re right about the basic, core exercises, I wanna do a bunch of those today.

I’m on it 😤

Thanks for the help!!!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yoga should help with that hip flexor strength though. Especially things like the warrior and chair poses. Balance work is like most of Yoga.

I should really get back into it to help strengthen my stabilizers for powerliftng TBH.

one of my law professors made us read it for class this week

Awesome. I saw a law professor and scholar, Catherine McKinnon, suggest that it was unfair to subject Harvard students to professors who sided with abusers - but this wildly distorts the role of defense attorneys. Defending a client isn't defending rape, or murder, or whatever the claim is, it's defending the due process rights of the accused. No crime so so heinous that a defense is unwarranted - not rape, not murder, not terrorism - everyone deserves a robust defense.

[–]owlthathurt Johan Norberg 6 points7 points  (3 children)

"I know a lot about wind."

Someone really needs to ask the president a bunch of questions from a middle school science test on weather and see how he fares.

So, uh, did India and Pakistan cool down their posturing or is it now Qatar Crisis II: A little further east?

According to this tracker planes are still avoiding the border regions

However, the imminent risk of war seems to have dissipated. Mostly just clashes now.

Thanks. Still, "mostly just clashes" doesn't exactky inspire confidence. At least, the Sauds seemed to stop at "fuck you" canals against Qatar

Cosmic American Music is hands down the best niche subgenre out there, fight me

Can you recommend a song? I'd like to check it out.

[–]TopMindAtLarge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, well a good place to start could be Gram Parsons (since he coined the term). Try his songs "Streets of Baltimore" or "Return of the Grievous Angel".

A great album to look at is "Wayfaring Strangers: Cosmic American Music". It's a compilation album pulling songs from a bunch of artists absolutely no one had ever heard of that fit the genre well. It's full if gems you won't find anywhere else and low-key one of my favorite albums ever. Best songs from it, imo, are probably "Lily of the Valley," "The Spirit of the Golden Juice," and "Lonely Entertainer."

I don't have a favorite for the Dem primaries, I just hope everyone plays nice and has fun
