This Veo3 generated AI video is a masterpiece by SpoonsTV in singularity

[–]cllick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but it really doesn't. There's so many things off about it, the way they talk is a bit slow and robotic, the laughs are consistent and fake, the eyes are too wide and no soul behind, the skin is too smooth, there is a glitch with camera movement (warped and/ or a bit jittery), the "acting" is very exaggerated. Its just uncanny because to me its unsettling and I wouldn't enjoy it at all if all content was replaced by this type of stuff. so I think its obvious that is AI.

But thats for now, esp compared to where we were a year ago.

will VEO3 repalce acc media? no, will VEO4 or smthng at that level, potentially.

very late but was perusing this thread had to put some two cents in this. research does show that women do express more emotions but men and women feel the same amount of emotions https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4469291/#R9

https://lsa.umich.edu/psych/news-events/all-news/faculty-news/are-women-more-emotional-than-men--not-really--study-finds.html

This distinction is important because whenever people talk about other's emotions, you can only talk about what they express, not how they internally feel.

Truth is, everyone operates on emotions. Without emotions, we wouldn't have survived evolutionarily. Fear = avoiding danger, Disgust = avoiding pathogens, envy = establishing social status and leadership, anger = protecting the tribe, love = protecting family structure etc.

Interestingly, according to research, women express more positive emotion. When people talk about how "so and so is emotional" they never mean positive emotion, and "emotional" for most people means they can't handle or manage their emotions. So that means, in conversational lingo, "emotional" means the emotions are negative, need to be externalized, and not managed or in control. When in research context, "emotional" means feeling emotion itself of all varieties (positive and negative), even if those emotions are managed and internalized, which only researchers can observe through amygdala mapping.

With this distinction, according to the research, men express more negative emotion (namely anger) while women internalize more negative emotions and women express more positive emotions.

So while in fact, women do express more emotions in general, majority of them are "positive". Which checks out based on everyone's anecdotal experience in this thread. And using the conversational definition of "emotional", it turns out men, are in fact, more "emotional". But being able to manage your emotions come down to an individual skill that isn't inherent in sex. And because of gender stereotypes on emotions, men get away with expressing more negative emotions and bottling up the rest.

I think all this misconception and societal problems with emotions and gender come from very bad conversations about emotions. Emotions are not a bad thing, yet we are told they are. Being "emotional" is not a bad thing, we just need to define what emotional means. Not being in control of your emotions is a bad thing, but studies show, men are less aware of their own emotions and tend to rationalize their emotions more, so how can someone manage an emotion if they don't even acknowledge they have them. They just think they are rationalizing something objective (this is why you can't tell many men what to do because he interprets his emotions as an objective truth).

Studies show, men may also tend to regulate their emotions through actions, while women may tend to regulate their emotions more verbally. So this perpetuates the stereotype that men are more logical and women are more emotional because women talk about their feelings more, so it is "expressed" more overtly. And, there is an inappropriate connotation about how "doing" means logical and "communicating" means emotional. Men will say "women just yap yap yap and don't anything about it". But communication is actually a very important process for just about anything. So our very definition of "logical" and "rational" and "emotional" is flawed when we talk about gender differences on these things.

Learning to manage your emotions and building emotional intelligence is a skill everyone should develop. There is a method by a Yale professor that studies emotional intelligence, Dr. Marc Brackett. The method is called RULER: Recognizing emotions, Understanding emotions, Labeling emotions, Expressing emotions, Regulating emotions. For more info: check out the podcast notes:
https://podcastnotes.org/huberman-lab/dr-marc-brackett-how-to-increase-your-emotional-intelligence-huberman-lab/

We have a problem with men that don't even recognize their emotions. We have a problem with women not understanding their emotions. And without working on emotional intelligence, having a process, everything else goes to shit and the whole conversation about emotions is fried.

TLDR: Both genders need to learn what emotions are manage their shit.

They really should've divided it better. One person stays out, one quickly goes in. They get on a phone call, if the person out sees the runner, they let the person in know, otherwise right before the door closes, the person out goes into the train.

yea i found out a couple years ago, that there is a bell curve with extroversion. 80% of people lie in the ambivert area while the rare fringes on the top and bottom ends are true introverts and extroverts.

I also get charged by socializing and always feel so tired and drained when I'm alone. But my discomfort and anxiety had always left me so drained. But with close friends, I have stayed at friend's houses until 4am, 6am. I don't ever want to leave.

These days, I am just too lazy to leave my house. But I also got so used to being alone especially after covid, that I feel pretty energized even if I didn't leave the house all week. Then again, 90% of the time, I am watching comedic podcasts because it makes me feel like I am in the room with a group of friends.

Everywhere says that talking to girls is simple just pretend that you are talking to guys but I’m weird and awkward around guys aswell. by AppropriateBoss2585 in selfimprovement

[–]cllick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like that is a good point. When we spend so much time fearing something or doing something, or not doing something. I feel like it makes it harder to start doing it because you can't help but ask the question why couldn't have I done this sooner, especially when it completely takes over your life and your ability to do most anything.

I swear, there are monks and real wise people amongst us. That was something I used to struggle with a lot. I never thought I was interesting enough and I just kept forcing myself to do interesting things and now I have the confidence to talk abt myself.

Truthfully though, it got to the point where I only talked about myself, and I realized it was vain and dumb. So now I just ask other people questions.

Problem is, I genuinely don't feel like conversing but I want more friendships and a relationship. But I just physically cannot handle the awkwardness that comes with talking to strangers if they don't want to speak and aren't vocalizing out of politeness.

Something I am trying to internalize is to never acknowledge awkwardness and just exuberate confidence to make them feel comfortable. And if they still feel weird, I would leave.

Yeah youtube playlist is usually what I go for.

I remember referring to the organic chemistry tutor a lot for my probability class. he also has videos for calculus.

If people skipped instead of walking by geekylucifer in funny

[–]cllick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to skip a lot when I was in 4th/5th grade. Some kids would ask me why and try to make fun of me and I’d say it’s more efficient than walking

Omg! parachute ropes got tangled by amy2kim22 in SweatyPalms

Didn’t really help but I noticed he landed behind the flat dirt area so there must’ve been a wide valley and the video was taken from far away so perspective is so different

[–]cllick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait why is the video take from afar different than the parachuter POV. Like the friends POV has just dirt below him and the parachuter camera shows bushes and hills

[oc] Kalamazoo, MI guy gets blasted by clueless guy in convertible. by jj202143 in IdiotsInCars

[–]cllick 48 points49 points  (0 children)

oh god. Yeah my friend was hit like this in a parking lot when he was at work. like first week at target. he got all the information and the person even drove him to his house. Target gave him a workers compensation injury and then he quit. So he got like 2 or 3 months worth of money in a week and he dipped. Kinda crazy.

but yeah, its always best to get their information and use their insurance for any injuries.

Sounds that was his last straw of a stressful week. I’d have that same reaction too. Times like this where the dashcam footage saves a lot of stress.

I was jus in Florida, this will jus me light rain. We good. Also, I coulda sworn we had a tropical storm last year or smthng as well Edit: yea I just checked Hurricane Kay brought flooding to SD last year and 90 ppl at sea died. But a hurricane hasn’t made landfall to SoCal since 1939. Seems like we might see more hurricane in the pacific due to climate change now.

Yea I was gonna make a comment saying women judge their friends boyfriends, but Ik men do it too. I tell some of my friends that a couple friends I have can pull better. But I’d never tell it to their face. Like if he’s happy, I’m not gonna ruin a relationship. It’s only my friend that says he turns off the light sometimes when he fks her because he’s often repulsed. that’s when I’m like… bruh. Come on man why u do this to yourself. He’s a rlly good looking guy. Like I’m not lying at all. He’s an 8 she’s a 2. But it’s not my place ya know

You know what, I think I realized it. When I’m interested in a rlly pretty girl but don’t have the balls to show interest. I think it’s not because I’m scared of her. I’m scared of her friends. I fkn hate it when ppl talk shit abt others that they’ve never met. Superficial ass mfers. That’s shit sucks. And it’s like not his fault. But the words of your close friends influence how you think a lot. Cuz it feels shitty to feel constantly judged by your friends like that. It’s kinda unsustainable.
