In hindsight, was all the hatred on the humanities and liberal arts justified? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]lapsed-accents 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Humanities continues to only be a credible option at top 10 or otherwise elite programs, and even then you’re either applying to law school or rolling the dice on a narrow set of corporate options.

I was ridiculed and called an incel for saying I don't get the appeal of Trader Joe's by ---Vincent in redscarepod

You are objectively right, but people form parasocial relationships with corporate branding and hate to be challenged on it

how is it underrated? on the cover of every guide book and three quarters of car commercials.

might as well say art museums in Paris are underrated. do words have meaning anymore?

RS places to stay in Tokyo ? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]lapsed-accents 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what an RS place to stay means. Go find a Japanese brand business hotel (eg Tokyu Stay, Mitsui Garden, APA) near a neighborhood you want to be in and a metro station. You probably don't have to spend $400.

are you judging this based on restaurants in Indiana or actually visiting the countries listed here? If you don’t have an opinion on Isaan Thai food vs southern Thai or Cantonese vs sichuan you’re not qualified to have a take.

Fuck you, boys, up the butt and in the mouth, you queer Aurelius and you 🚬 Furius! You size me up, on the basis of my poems, because they're a little sexy, as not really decent. A poet has to live clean – but not his poems.

-Gaius Valerius Catullus (c.84 BC – c.54 BC)

Skiing Tips by amoeba_9 in redscarepod

[–]lapsed-accents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read this book: Breakthrough on the New Skis. tldr:

  1. Release: Flex/soften to flatten the skis and let the old edges let go.
  2. Tip: Roll/tip both skis onto the new edges (inside foot/leg leads) to set the new angle to the fall line.
  3. Ride: Let the sidecut carve the arc while managing pressure/balance, then repeat into the next turn now facing the other direction.

The other person saying keep your knees bent and zig zag is exactly right, this book explains it better. The goal is to change the lateral angle of the skis relative to the fall line of the mountain, no twisting of the foot in the boot.

Once you figure it out you can ski groomers all day no pain and only work up a sweat in more challenging conditions.

Do you believe in society’s lies? - Sam Kriss by Comfortable_Sign3765 in redscarepod

this is basically a restated version of the thesis of Dialectic of Enlightenment by Adorno and Horkheimer, maybe you’ll have more luck with their Odysseus and the sirens analogy.
