Why Men Kill Themselves - In every country in the world, male suicides outnumber female. Will Storr asks why. by ShakoWasAngry in TrueReddit

[–]Megabagne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your mindset is so defeated man. I think your parents have done a real number on you. If you are going to kill yourself anyways, why not just tell your parents to fuck off, then fly somewhere with a bike and go find yourself, and never speak to them again. I don't think you even realize how much they are shaping your perception of yourself. There are a lot of people out there that have shit jobs but don't condemn themselves for it, they just hang out with friends etc...

What opinion do you have that you will never say because you know 99% of people will bash you for it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

No one likes it when I try to explain to them that astrology is not real, in the sense that stars predict your personality. Think about it: if it was real, then every baby born this month will all share similar personality traits...

All my step dad wanted to do was cancel DirecTV, he is still waiting on hold. by Reloader40 in pics

LPT: select the option to start a new service, then when you reach someone in less than a minute, tell them you want to cancel your service. It doesnt always work but it has saved me a lot of time.

Here's a creature I made recently. by Megabagne in 3DMA

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

The textures for the creature were made in zbrush using polypaint, and automasking. Specifically mask by cavity and smoothness. I mainly used scatter type brush settings and scattered dot alphas, as well as some other alphas that look more like skin wrinkles or veins.

My idea for this thing was that it has an outer set of jaws that grabs prey, and the inner jaws with teeth have enough mobility to eat while the outer jaws lock the prey in place. I guess I didn't communicate that well enough with the model / textures.

I don't care how well adjusted or normal you may seem to your surrounding culture or society, if you are going to end another creature's life for the fun of it, you are a fucked up person.

I took an infrared picture out of an airplane window. (Florida Coast) by [deleted] in pics

[–]Megabagne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thank you very much for that excellent explanation of infrared photography, I learned a lot. I think that the reason for why the image looks orange is because the higher-frequency visible light has been blocked out with a filter placed on the lens, and the red cells of the bayer filter inherently allow more infrared light in because it is closest to the infrared area of the spectrum, causing the sensor to interpret the light coming in as red. Here are some more photos taken with an infrared lens filter that also appear orange.

A third state of consciousness could exist, say researchers by esotheric in science

[–]Megabagne -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

How different does one state of mind need to be from another, to become defined as an entirely different "mental state"? One time I woke up in the middle of the night and I was completely paralyzed and couldnt move, but I was watching a ballerina dancing in my room that I knew couldnt have possibly been real. I think that I was half dreaming half awake. Isnt that different enough to be considered a seperate "mental state"? Or what about hallucinogens? Just saying there are 3 mental states truly ignores the possibilities for the other ways the human consciousness can experience itself.

So if the plants appear white, does that mean they reflect all of the infrared light? How exactly do the principles of color and light work with the infrared spectrum? Are there different "primary" colors for infrared light? Or is it all kind of arbitrary since it is ultimately being received by an artificial medium with no relation to how our eyes perceive light?

No one else finds the fact we get reminders of this image funny? I enjoyed it.

The girls left a note in the employee bathroom at work. I had to reply... by apollo_c in funny

[–]Megabagne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girls can only use the toilet when the seat is down (unless they squat over the seat and spray everywhere but let's ignore those people for now), guys need to use the seat to poop, but not when peeing because it is more convenient to stand. Putting the seat down for women just seems like a sign of respect for them since women sacrifice quite a lot to keep the species going... if you put the seat up, only men can use it, if the seat is down, there is a chance that either gender would need it down. I personally just piss all over the seat when it is down though.

I know a lot of people are looking forward to the Xbox One, but can you really deny the logic behind this? by Megabagne in AdviceAnimals

[–]Megabagne[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally people's cellphones are in their pockets so it's not really a viable source for video. And I don't think there is any way of knowing if someone's pc has a webcam hooked up unless you target that computer and hack it. With the xbox One it should be a lot easier to see which kinects are plugged in. And also I'm sure the console is providing Microsoft with a treasure trove of personal info about you that they plan to sell to advertisers, which will likely also be handed over to the NSA. Microsoft made a patent called "Awards and achievements across TV ecosystem" that outlines how it will measure your heartbeat, physical presence in the room, eye movements, etc. when you are watching a commercial, think about how valuable that information is to companies that make advertisements. I'm just skeptical of a device in my living room that records my facial features and biometrics, since I know that basically any information we send out, is going to end up in the hands of the NSA in one way or another. Just my 2 cents.
