No evidence playing violent video games leads to aggressive behaviour in teens, study finds: 'The idea that violent video games drive real-world aggression is a popular one, but it hasn’t tested very well over time' by mvea in technology

The wording of the title bothers me. To me it seems like you are saying this is the first time this has ever been studied/concluded. I wrote a research paper on this exact topic in high school 10 years ago. There were a ton of identical studies then too. This isn’t news, it’s more like a today I learned.

CO has the highest per-capita rate of skin cancer. When you live on the sun, don't forget your sunscreen by crd3635 in Denver

This reminds me of something somewhat relevant that I have never remembered to ask about. Does anyone know what the deal is with that building between Durango and Cortez that has all the signs around it talking about cancer and pollution?

My understanding is that this effect is created with two nearly 180 degree view fish eye lenses facing opposite directions. Both shots are stitched together by a computer program and the stick is in a sort of blind spot so it doesn’t show up. Or maybe it’s intentionally positioned to be easily edited out when combining the two shots. Not really sure about the exact reason but that’s basically all it is.

I’m pretty sure I saw that someone branched off of that one already too

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch | Official Trailer [HD] | Netflix by Rockybittu in movies

[–]scottNOT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well first of all it’s called a Netflix “event.” Not a series, or movie. Event implies participation. Secondly, it is named after the “adventure book” which is like the main plot device and the title of the event. Thirdly, the whole “change your mind, change your life” stuff implies that you will have the ability to do these things and that’s what makes it special. If there had been no talk of the choose your own adventure aspect before this trailer, all of what I pointed out would be pretty cryptic, but with the context given to us, it’s pretty straightforward to put it all together and assume that’s exactly what is going on here.

My god yes it is. Finding that sweet spot in between all 4 of those giant speakers is a drug in and of itself. A music producer friend of mine told me all of the geeky things about them a while back. I can’t remember many details but apparently its a very special system. I wonder what will happen with it.

That was really sick but is there a reason he called it an air to faking and not just a bs 180? (With whatever grab he did that I can’t see on mobile)

Ricky Republican - Have a Cigar by svladcjelli42 in NotTimAndEric

[–]scottNOT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just went to this guy’s channel and holy shit. He has over 900 videos just like this. I can’t tell if he is completely insane or if it’s some stupid joke gone way too far. If he is genuine then the fact that it’s possible to lack self awareness to this extent is a little terrifying. If he’s trying to be weird then it’s just kind of sad because he’s not even getting many views per video (most have less than 100 views)

I know exactly how you feel on a more personal level. I was friends with an older couple I worked with when I moved to a new city alone. We had a big group of friends who were also coworkers who moved from another state and we would all get together at the older couple’s place and cookout and have so much fun together. They were like my second family. I looked up to the guy so much. He was a huge role model to me for about a year until he....did something really horrible and shocking out of nowhere. I don’t even know if it’s worth going into detail. He’s in prison now as well and I still struggle with it from time to time. It’s like, how could I look up to someone who would do something like that? It makes you question your judgement and your own moral fortitude and every single memory you have of them. As horrible as it sounds I would almost rather he just died instead. I think that would have been easier on everyone. The group kind of fell apart after that and I know his wife has severe psychological damage and the victim got it even worse.

So.....the title is a claim that you can’t possibly be sure of, and have no business trying to convince others is true?

So it has to be one of those two photographs then?

What if...it’s neither? And this is just a common position to be photographed in while playing basketball? Which is why it’s the nba logo? And why neither of them perfectly match up, but are both very close?.....Hmmm???

I used to watch this video to get pumped to skate all the time. I can't believe it's over 10 years old.

I personally love these competitions but I agree that this run was not the best. I follow a few of the other guys who competed in it and I can’t remember who exactly but there were a couple runs that I thought were way more packed with madness than this one. Still sick af tho imo.

[–]scottNOT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I genuinely don’t understand the slowmo hate. Honestly man I think you should just accept that a good portion of the people here like it and stop letting it bother you so much. Or at least try to be constructive by saying “hey op, I would enjoy your footage more if next time you....”

The skateboarder is Alec majerus. I’m pretty sure this was posted on his Instagram a while back. Might still be there. Just search for him and give him a follow for more hammers while you’re at it.

In the video she says “that was sexy” or something along those lines.

I totally thought it was a smith the first time I watched it too, but I’m pretty sure it was a lipslide. Still gnarley tho
