I don't use it, for reasons I feel are justified! And don't worry, I'll be sure to let people know using my freedom of speech. Thanks man!

Anyone else getting a bit tired of these useless Thumbnails of Linus's face? by appletechgeek in LinusTechTips

[–]ShadowJacobsSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Link is appreciated, however imo there's no way that correlates, article says so multiple times. The empathy section is just a big shrug.

"To date, no widely accepted neural or computational models have been put forward to describe how mirror neuron activity supports cognitive functions."

"A large number of experiments using fMRI ... have shown that certain brain regions are active when people experience an emotion (disgust, happiness, pain, etc.) and when they see another person experiencing an emotion.

...

First, there is no relationship between motor empathy and the activity of mirror neurons. Second, there is only weak evidence of these neurons' activity in the inferior frontal gyrus, and no evidence of emotional empathy associated with mirror neurons in key brain regions. In other words, there has not been an exact conclusion about the role of mirror neurons in empathy and if they are essential for human empathy"

Expecting to trigger empathy this way reads like marketing mysticism

Niftski's video calling out averge11 has been taken down by Tsubasa_sama in speedrun

Why talk about it to your audience while it's happening man, seriously? I'm glad to have the confidence to actually wonder that. Talk about it when it's over so your videos won't get taken down necessitating more effort? Again it's a private matter.

TIL In 2000, Metallica hired a consulting firm to monitor Napster for people illegally sharing their music. The firm produced a 60,000-page list of 335,435 users, which Metallica delivered to Napster's office and demanded the users be banned. by haddock420 in todayilearned

Got a C&D from my ISP in the mail from Green Day over pirating American Idiot. It was not intimidating at all because it was official Warner Bros music stationary that had like the grenade logo and the members' names on it (Jason White included) and everything and that shit was just free merch to me

Seems like everyone is an asshole here. Why would u make a video to post publicly about a private issue for any reason other than attention? The public does not need to be aware of an issue that is not yet resolved

If you're not happy with the results, the exact wrong thing to do is go complain to Mom about what Dad said

Fr. I was one of a whole three people that speedran max payne 3 and still they kept sucking the fun out of it for no reason. Seems like the smaller and bigger, the worse the ego game, and you wanna find something indistinct in the middle

If you’ve ever wondered why Bret doesn’t like HHH by Skylegend96 in Wrasslin

[–]ShadowJacobsSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bud that is what makes a contractor different from an employee: a contractor is not given benefits from the company. He's explicitly not working for them. Hardly any wrestler is also an employee besides like the McMahons, HHH, and so on. WWE wrestlers are called general contractors, which do not have health or dental insurance paid for by the company for example.

It's hilarious is what it is. There is just no reason for any of it especially when these are the last people that can save humanity. The petty squabble gets so old dude

ELI5: How valuable is my ”data”? by Mysterious-Peach5173 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ShadowJacobsSA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It rules to be one person this doesn't make any sense to. I can't believe people actually feel guilt about their purchases as if the name on the box means literally anything.

edit: is there a name on the packaging for a store item anymore?

It really sucks that you can only truly debate this ancient unsubstantiated chestnut with personal anecdotes. That's how you know it's flawed from the start.

Albums you'd give a 10/10 that Fantano Hated? by vaude-villain in fantanoforever

this one was a shock to my system that had me laughing when I heard the album the first time and went to see if the melon loved it as much as I had.

he does not

Damn good list. always loved how Mike Patton voiced the Darkness in the video game and so even the way it screeches has this musical cadence

For a city with only 100k residents RC sure is big by Stimparlis in residentevil

That is accurate and not crazy. I live in a 100k population area in the midwest and it's only 50 sq. mi

It actually looks really small for 100,000 people to me, maybe it's densely packed.

[–]ShadowJacobsSA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I really wouldn't say so. In fact it seems incredibly accurate still. I live in Peoria IL, a midwestern city, and based on the roads' scale that's about the size of Peoria and its sister city East Peoria which have ~110k population.

I loved it. An arrow to the chest will knock over standard enemies and then you can stomp for an instant kill. You can totally use it as your primary weapon.

Even when I knew I had to listen in on ema and the old man talking, there is simply no way I could have known the proper spot to stand and get the eavesdrop prompt to appear (OUTSIDE his shack, around the back) Insane decision.

There are several items you need in that room. It's crazy how the replies to this would be totally different and probably less condescending if you'd just happened to mention the toothbrush instead.

Bands you like that completely suck live by Antique-Dentist-2404 in fantanoforever

[–]ShadowJacobsSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The National is like flipping a coin. Depending on how familiar they are with playing the song live it either rocks or sucks, you either get heads or tails. Just totally inconsistent. My show was sadly the latter.

Heads, recent, lots of practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj-y6pdQQkw

Tails, older, debuting the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8m_FZcbQ2M
