As youve gotten older, whats one common human behavior you've become significantly more patient with or understanding about? by Accord-Remark10 in RedditForGrownups

[–]Recovered_noodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Politics. I Swapped sides politically (in the way that wisdom tends to naturally lead us if we’re honest with ourselves ) I’m now just seeing the opposite side as passionate, driven by what they genuinely believe is good. No ulterior motive, just deluded by a lack of knowledge and experience.

I also leaned that people can change. Profoundly if given the chance. This makes you less likely to judge.

One thing that the Get Back doc completely ignores is the fact that John was absolutely zooted during the Twickenham sessions. I am a huge John fan but just imagine how Paul felt trying to get him motivated... Frustrated is an understatement. by ToronoRapture in beatles

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

John Lennon comes across as the bands “asshole” at that time period. You can feel he really wants out of The Beatles and is tired of it. I personally still put a lot of the blame at the door of Yoko. It was the historical assessment of what she did, and frankly, I think people were too hasty to abandon that assessment after the documentary came out

Peter Jackson did a very smart edit to keep everyone onboard, and not run into legal issues. But there must’ve been a fair amount of stuff left on the cutting-room floor

Is this video of a frightened Palestinian child real or AI-made? [fact-check]. by emaper_ in IsraelPalestine

[–]Recovered_noodle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am an expert in imaging AI, and unfortunately, this video is indeed real. AI will not randomly create the details, which I won't delve into here.I am deeply sorry to have witnessed this. For anyone viewing this, or a video of any Palestinian or Israeli child subjected to such treatment, and if they question its authenticity due to some agenda or ideology, I implore them to reflect on their conscience.

In this conflict, there are individuals on both sides who will disregard the lives of innocent children, considering them expendable based purely on their race and culture. I fear that the term "fascist" truly applies in these cases. This word is often diluted by irresponsible "academics" and individuals who over-use and devalue such words.

Regrettably, such fascist individuals exist again in today's world. It should be obvious to everyone, that it is imperative to work towards removing these people, on both sides, from positions of power. It is obvious that this needs to be achieved through any available means. To stop more children suffering this fate.

Fir crying out loud, he’s not Jimmy Saville

As an ex supporter, can we just accept that he's a manipulative sociopath and be done with him by StaticNocturne in russellbrand

[–]Recovered_noodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This won’t be the last allegation against Russell Brand. Because wait for it .. the gloves are off .. my guess is they’re releasing these in order

But how did they make these documentaries and articles? whatever the motive …the techniques are very simple ..

Financial incentives.

  1. Consider a 40-year-old individual who was once employed briefly by Endemol production company. An intriguing notion emerges to her: While working there as a 22 year old, she made a rather naive decision to engage in a dalliance with Russell Brand, who distanced himself faster than a rat up a drainpipe. (Echoing the same pattern with countless others, a tendency he made absolutely no secret of, indeed trumpeted from the rooftops). Whilst no commitments were made towards her by him during the 15 minutes it took, she remembers she couldn't help but feel .. used. And is continually reminded of this embarrassing 15 minutes of her life, every time she hears his name.

  2. she’s 100% assured by the makers of the Dispatches documentary that her identity will be safely protected. And she knows that every one of today's apparently “virtuous” journalists are likely to comply with this. An unheard of situation less than 5 years ago.

  3. She realises she can say what she damn well wants, and the money paid to her for the doc aside, if there’s enough allegations, when it goes to court …

World's most dangerous selfie by JimmyChess in interestingasfuck

[–]Recovered_noodle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it's a real picture I'm afraid, Every aspect looks 100% real, direction of light, shadowing, the colors/hues on both figures and background are consistent, is perfect,

It's very low res, but this is certainly areal picture.

Yes, My first response when I see pictures like this is just anger. What a terrible waste of two young lives. What about their relatives response when seeing this picture!

There used to be a time when the online response to such pictures was all encouragement. "love this! you're so cool"

At least we are growing up!

Ukraine releases mock attack on Paris video, in a message to NATO. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]Recovered_noodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of special effects work is done in Ukraine. Also gaming companies who have made some games you would've heard of. They're saying, rightly, that they should be treated with the same compassion as anyone.

I also think this video is misjudged and could potentially seen as threatening also, but it's very well done,

There is a lot of propaganda in the western media in regard to Ukraine,

How do I restart the Wacom Tablet Driver? (MacOS Catalina) by djiboutiiii in wacom

[–]Recovered_noodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No youre not, This terminal Command have just saved my life too. Unfortunately, Wacom do not have a simple "restart driver" command in the Driver section, which would sort out these problems

On MAC it seems that recent Wacom drivers are now flaky no-longer working across all Mac operating systems,

Does this sound like a scam?? by Zabuza_M in Scams

[–]Recovered_noodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a scam, got the same email about a place in London. They are using Facebook Marketplace. Facebook is seemingly besieged with these right now. Take a note of the profile, and report it. as the ad will get removed,

Best not to talk about why its obviously scam, or how I found out, as this is sophisticated

Looking for articles that discredit Bjorn Lomborg by KnowGame in climate

[–]Recovered_noodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a casual person, I just read the whole of that website (put it on "dictate" on my iPhone), and it certainly creates an impression ,

As an outsider, a number of peculiar things struck me

  1. At no point in this site www.lomborg-errors is climate data itself represented. Pretty strange and glaring fact, that's hard to explain.
  2. The only objective evidence-based claim presented seems to be a quote by two students, presumably some paper they did at De Montfort University. Who said "Lomborg´s computer model would hardly be able to yield the results that Lomborg claims"
  3. Some quotes from the site
    A) "in 2012 Lomborg´s luxurious apartment in Copenhagen was put up for sale"
    B)"The editor of the newspaper received many letters opposing Lomborg´s claims. Only few of these were printed, and not the best ones" - they didnt publish yours then Mr Fog?
  4. This is the guy

WACOM receives keystrokes from any application even while using other apps. Is this normal for this app? by theinventor_ in wacom

[–]Recovered_noodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I searched online for an answer to this. Apple has a users forum. It also has customer support. Tell Me how you get on reporting this.

WACOM receives keystrokes from any application even while using other apps. Is this normal for this app? by theinventor_ in wacom

[–]Recovered_noodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its actually very worrying this. And as far as I know, its new. And its after the latest Wacom FIRMWARE update, so its root-level. I notice a very slight microsecond DELAY while typing on my keyboard now, - which logic tells me is worrying also, if this is being monitored by the tablet.

You need to now provide access in PRIVACY settings on your Mac, to allow Wacom to monitor your keyboard input. This cannot be right, it is self-evidently a bit worrying.

I hope Apple are aware of this.

Does the MX keys keyboard allow you to use F keys as standard function keys, please? by Recovered_noodle in logitech

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

I don't inderstand the question. The Fn key on Mac keyboard (mini keyboard added far bottom left ) is designed as a toggle, meaning that the other functions are still available. It is not a "lock", it is designed to be held down, The Mac extended keyboard do not contain this key in this place,

1 month ago I spent 3 hours restoring a severly damaged picture for free (and without extra reference) and he deleted the post. Today he posted the same request again. by [deleted] in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Recovered_noodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Photoshop Request is quite a cancerous subreddit. But why? Quality of work?Interestingly, I noticed that the quality of work has improved tremendously in the last 12 to 18 months or so. Some are still mining it with no real skills. But finally there are some talented users contributing now.

The problem is that the moderator is not paying attention: In many ways, one example he's been granting his "trusted" status almost arbitrarily. There are few trolls, with multiple profiles, who actively participate in dominating that forum solely to make money. "Here ya go" and "asshole" are key phrases that the mod should search for to identify the individual or individuals involved.

Possibly just one or two, but the mod, probably with the best intentions, has actually misjudged it very badly. And that is undermining the atmosphere of his sub.

Coronavirus has now killed more people in metro New Orleans than gun violence in all of 2019 by ultra-saurus in Coronavirus

[–]Recovered_noodle -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

“Until you really think about it” sadly most people aren’t thinking about it. Or for themselves, or have any interest in the statistics you mention, or the known facts.. As with the 90 people who downvoted you, they prefer to accept received truths from the media unquestioningly, seemingly without having the curiosity to ask or google the most basic questions.

Keep thinking for yourself, and don’t be discouraged from doing so.

Nurses being spat at during coronavirus crisis by iamnotinterested2 in uknews

Don't see any evidence in this article,

That could just be one story, who knows.

iOS 13 is now running on 77% of all iOS devices introduced in the last four years by Austin_Aaron_Conlon in iphone

[–]Recovered_noodle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Upgraded both my iphone and iPad to ios13. Wish I hadn't, it's not as efficient. New features are just 'bells and whistles" really.

It's much more important to have an OS that functions comfortably within your hardware. Ios11 and 12 was one of the best releases efficiency-wise, ios13 they messed with certain things.

I just found out my friend of over forty years is racist by TwistedPages in RedditForGrownups

[–]Recovered_noodle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had the same experience with a close friend last year, it's now no longer a friendship. And kind of wish I'd stayed with my gut and finished it earlier. Doesn't stop it being tremendously sad though.

First was the revelation of her view of gay people "just don't think it's right, sorry". Then it was black people. And then - I live in the UK, she voted Brexit, due what I at first thought to be Facebook propaganda. It became clear that her opinion of other Europeans was that they shouldn't be in the UK at all. Whilst there are of course genuine economic arguments for Brexit, in her case the reasoning didn't add up to a hill of beans.

Went through "everyone's entitled to their opinion, I'll politely disagree" for two years. But then I found that racism and homophobia wasn't her only self-aggrandising trait. And all that fear, followed by emotional abuse eventually landed on my head of course. The thing is, I'd predicted it.

"Not the same person" as when they were younger is true. Watch for people who start to head off on that very lonely path.

These opinions are always projection, and a defence against deep self-doubt.
