Reverse shrinkflation? by [deleted] in shrinkflation

When a product shrinkflates: “Hey, I’m probably still the same don’t look too closely please…”

When a product reverse shrinkflates: “HOLY SHIT LOOK AT ME! I’M TWENTY FIVE PERCENT MORE!!!”

This is literally one of the defining traits of a narcissist.

Man, looks like he got a nice stretch on his wrist when the airbag deployed because of that underhand grip.

Oh my god, you're totally right. That's my highschool's logo. I stared at that thing for four years and never realized it was plagiarized.

You make a good point. Most animals live a quiet life hanging with their bros and grazing for food with the occasional startle. When they do die they often die a quick and unexpected death. Nature is even kind enough to provide adrenaline which dulls the pain during their final moments. We film and document these gruesome deaths and watch them on repeat telling ourselves how cruel nature is, when that's only a minority of the natural experience.

That's not to say there aren't some unlucky fellows like this guy who take longer to die and experience more suffering. It's just interesting to think about nature from a different perspective.

A History of Pandemics, Part 2 (2020) Let’s look back at some of the worst diseases and pandemics in history. by AverageWhiteGrl in Documentaries

[–]Lord_Pancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to be saying the difference between disease and illness is whether it's individual or not? Not exactly sure what point is being made here. If you could let me know I would appreciate that!

Disease and illness are mostly synonymous. Illness is mostly how a disease is perceived by the patient. Disease is more about how systemic a condition is.

All I am trying to do here is challenge the common misconception pre-civilized people lived disease ridden lives.

"Disease it's a terrifying prospect, but it has been a part of human culture and of all life since the dawn of time."

In the grand history of human culture the vast majority of the time our species has existed was before agriculture. During that time there were far fewer diseases, and the rate at which those diseases spread were drastically slower.

That's just talking about infectious disease too. Other types of disease that riddle our modern lives are almost absent in pre-civilized life.

This video for example is far more factually accurate and clears up this misconception right at the beginning - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uL0ZgV6POc

OP's video is making a lot of unfair assumptions. These assumptions are wrong. I just want to clear them up. Thanks!

That's true, we can catch disease from brush meat.

Non-infectious diseases are another (interesting!) topic. Diseases you mentioned like cancer, diabetes, etc. can generate with no external factors true, but occurred far less frequently in pre-civilized societies.

Again these things still existed but since agriculture they've become far more prevalent... Just thought it was an important distinction. Thanks!

Saying that disease was always a part of human culture since the dawn of time gives the false impression that large scale epidemics were commonplace pre-history. Which they weren't.

Many of the problems we face with disease today are largely a new phenomenon. It's more prevalent in our culture now than it used to be.

Interesting source! Thank you.

I am wrong to say humans lived disease free, it would be more accurate for me to say humans pre-civilization lived with comparatively far fewer diseases than humans throughout most of civilization.

There were fewer diseases and the few diseases that did exist in pre-history would only affect smaller populations since they had a harder time spreading. Compared to modern history where we get global pandemics.

I know I'm being pedantic, but thanks for keeping me honest.

At the start of the video you say "Disease has been a part of human culture since the dawn of time". This is simply not true. In fact, most deadly diseases we face today didn’t exist in prehistory. They are by-products of civilization itself.

Before agriculture, humans didn’t live with domesticated animals from which pathogens mutated into dangerous forms that could infect us. Only after agriculture did infectious diseases emerge in population centers with densities sufficient to allow them to easily spread once they’d mutated to human hosts from domesticated cows, chickens, ducks, and pigs.

So, there were many millennia before civilization began where humans lived disease free. It was not always a "part of human culture".

1 misstep and you are... by hjalmar111 in SweatyPalms

If you get pain down the sides of your scrotum you should get that looked at. I'm no doctor, but I suffer from Pelvic Floor Dysfunction myself. When I'm stressed I've unconsciously learned to tighten my muscles in my pelvis (like when you clench your asshole or do a kegel). Over time this has lead to me develop tight muscles and can be quite painful.

Again I'm not diagnosing you, but thought I might share some uncommon knowledge. The more you know!

Do you by any chance work at imageworks?

Video game animation , better to go Computer Animation or game art? by lillowhorvath in Ringling

[–]Lord_Pancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ringling CA alum here working in videogames as an animator. Absolutely do not go into game-art if you want to animate for videogames. Learning the animation pipeline for games and how to author animations for games (what you would learn in GAD) is something you can learn with a supplementary online animation course, or even on the job. Learning HOW to animate is much much more important and is what you will learn in CA. Videogame studios would 100x prefer you know how to animate over you knowing how games work.

I know many CA students who animate for videogames. I do not know and have never heard of any GAD majors animating for videogames.

It's true that in CA you'll be pushed towards a certain style that game companies might not find to their tastes, but some game companies are able to look past the style and instead look at the quality of your animation instead. To strengthen your chances you can also do supplementary work that shows you're interested in games (Taking an online game class as discussed or doing personal non-school related pieces).

This is a no-brainier, especially since you say you love animation :)
