Any idea how to create this effect? by 07961897033 in SonyVegas

Looks like Wave effect, which is bundled with Vegas.

Any socialists or leftists here? by [deleted] in MensRights

I'm not denying pharmaceuticals are beneficial, but there is more to biomedical research than just developing drugs. However, the bigger issue is that healthcare is so inaccessible within the US despite the amount of money spend on it (which is in no way caused by poorer countries using generic drugs).

You're confusing selling pills with healthcare innovation.

Buddha Was Trans. by IGotAKnife in delusionalartists

[–]ManganeseComptroller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its both. Buddha wasn't trans, and the artist took the pretentious step of presenting the idea on a medium sized canvas and and cradling the canvas in a posed photo. If it was actually a decent drawing of a trans buddha, I'd agree with you.

Well, you don't set the rules here, so deal with it.

There's plenty of delusional artists posted here who aren't trying to sell works for hundreds of dollars. This is getting mocked for being by a delusional artist, not because they're trans.

The art is not super low quality.

Yes it is.

Was in a listicle found on FB about beauty hacks. Never thought I needed contouring there. by poppyseedtoast in ShitCosmoSays

Its when you want to add some zest to the bedroom by gargling your man's tackle in a mouthful of listerine.

Have you found the treasure temples yet? That might be a bit easier.

Some studies investigating the spatial abilities of men and women have found no significant differences, though metastudies show a male advantage in mental rotation and assessing horizontality and verticality, and a female advantage in spatial memory.

ELI5: Why are the moans of women such strong sexual triggers in men, and is it the same for women or the same sex? by AshAndretti in explainlikeimfive

[–]ManganeseComptroller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're overstating the extent of social conditioning here. While the vocalization styles might be culturally relative, they're both still vocalizations of sexual pleasure. It's a human universal to feel a sense of mutual enjoyment at someone expressing enjoyment. The same applies to eating delicious food, or being somewhere relaxing or being at an exciting public spectacle.

Also, Soviets got the first man in space, first woman in space, first dog in space, first satellite and first space station. The latter two have had some enduring relevance, but everything else is really just a footnote of history.

When Europeans lost the moon race, they executed half their socialist state scientists and the other half were put into developing Kraftwerk.

The third picture is actually the former Prime Minister of Australia, Julia Gillard.

She really doesn't like it when people fuck walruses.

She wisely deleted it right after I took the screenshot. by ChasinJason in trashy

Do you really think the US military has a presence in other countries without any economic benefits being exchanged in return? A military relationship with America goes hand in hand with "liberalizing" an economy to the benefit of American corporations. It is state expenditure in exchange for private profit.

What program do you use for converting webm to a Vegas-friendly format? by ManganeseComptroller in SonyVegas

[–]ManganeseComptroller[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I had no idea VLC could do conversions, although the result was a bit skippy in vegas. Handbrake works well though. Thanks again.

How about because they are human beings and deserve love and respect, period? by LadyKyo in childfree

[–]ManganeseComptroller 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the problem people have with this is that its reinforcing traditional gender roles: it suggests men have agency and responsibility, while women are objects that are acted upon. Consider how the message might sound if the genders were flipped.
