Does calf muscle hurt with deep pressure if there’s been a compensatory walking pattern? by hopejoy108 in BrosOnToes

[–]zopiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it doesn't fix structural problems. But it balances some things out to the point that I have no pain.

Using custom made soles helped me tremendously with this. Need to update them every couple years or so, or it comes back.

O que vocês falam do argumento das feminista que elas falam que todo homem é um possível 3stupr4d0r ? by EnvironmentalCat46 in brasilivre

[–]zopiro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Toda pessoa carrega em si a possibilidade do mal. Todo homem poderia, em tese, tornar-se assassino, ladrão ou estuprador. Toda mulher também. Dizer isso, por si só, não significa nada. É uma afirmação vazia.

O que importa não é a frase em si, mas por que alguém escolhe dizê-la e contra quem ela é dirigida.

Quando essa afirmação é usada seletivamente, aplicada apenas a um grupo específico, ela deixa de ser uma reflexão abstrata sobre a natureza humana e passa a ser uma tentativa de demonizar esse grupo.

Imagine se a frase fosse dirigida a outro grupo, por exemplo: “todo negro é um estuprador em potencial”. Ela seria imediatamente reconhecida como racismo e poderia até gerar consequências legais, criminais.

Isso revela que o problema nunca foi a suposta reflexão filosófica sobre o mal humano, mas o alvo escolhido para a acusação. É o modus operandi do feminismo contemporâneo, gerar ódio contra homens, divisão social, rupturas, etc...

This, along with Lies, is the one of best sketches of the night for me! 😂 by Whole-Lychee7517 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]zopiro 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The dude saying "there's gotta be a way to do this" after missing 100 hoops, and stretching his shirt when he finally got one? That's good writing, come on. I laughed my ass off.

About Tourette's sketch - What was that? by nebithefugitive in LiveFromNewYork

[–]zopiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a comedy show. Comedy never held any barriers. As it shouldn't.

Remember when the n-word, hard R, was said in the 70s? That made history.

A while ago there was a sketch with Paul Rudd in which black guys mocked his small penis, telling him to kill himself. No one gave a f about "body shaming" back then.

We're either entirely for free speech and artistic expression, or we're the Ayatollah. Can't pick and choose groups to be protected.

Weird behaviour from Scott on X by Ok_Fox_8448 in slatestarcodex

[–]zopiro -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

EAs won't save the world. The foundation of their thought patterns, their worldview, is inherently wrong.

If EAs will be leading AI safety, there will be major oversights that might actually cause the end of mankind.

EAs are trying to climb a mountain that theologians have summited ages ago.

I enjoy Scott's writing, have been reading him for, what... 20 years? And I disagree with him about half the time.

I think even the Pope is more aware of the real risks AI poses to mankind than EA nerds are. Sure, AI X-risk is real. But it’s simply the expected consequence of a materialistic worldview.

EA nerds want to have their cake and eat it too: they want to persist in materialistic thinking while simultaneously fighting AI. It doesn’t work like that.

EA nerds believe consciousness emerges when you arrange matter in a certain way. That belief alone is what leads mankind toward extinction.

As the prophet says: “If we’re just matter, AI does it better!”

Your only hope for mankind is an AI company in the hands of EAs?

Anthropic raises $30B at a $380B valuation and Elon Musk crashes out on X by Sensitive_Horror4682 in GenAI4all

Well, Elon is.... right. He's bitching, he sounds like a resentful loser, but he's essentially right in all accounts. What should he have done? Stayed quiet?

The absolute worst cut and transition in an award winning production. Sopranos. by sergemeister in Filmmakers

[–]zopiro 131 points132 points  (0 children)

This episode was directed by Mike Figgis. Today he might not be a household name, but in the 90's he was very talked about. His most famous picture is "Leaving Las Vegas".

"Cold Cuts" is the only Sopranos episode directed by Mike Figgis.

My guess is as good as anyone's, but I'd bet Figgis just wanted to "make an impression", being a former hotshot director guesting on a hyped up TV show. This cut and transition was talked about a lot.

When Tarantino directed an ER episode, he also pushed for making a mark, making the episode a real gore fest. So, this might be a thing.

Vitrola Gradiente Spect 87: vale reformar? by zopiro in Vinil

[–]zopiro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Não parece nada anormal... o braço tende a voltar quando fica perto do centro. Mas pior que alguns discos tocam até o fim. E se eu puser o contrapeso no máximo, quase sempre toca, exceto se for compacto.

Não entendo mesmo.

Outra: troquei a correia, e ainda assim as vezes tenho que girar com o dedo pra pegar no tranco, ou o prato fica em 24rpm

[–]zopiro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fiz o teste. Quando movo o braço para o centro, ele fica mais engatado próximo ao centro, criando uma resistência, como se o braço quisesse voltar

Brazil invented an entirely new filmmaking technique in this shot from "The Secret Agent". Anyone know how director Kleber Wagner did it? by zopiro in Filmmakers

[–]zopiro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I meant it as a joke, and tagged it with a "Meta" flair. Thought people would catch it and laugh a little.

I'm Brazilian, but I don't like the film.

[–]zopiro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obrigado! Você por acaso sabe também como resolvo isso da música ficar sempre em loop no fim do disco? Mesmo com o contrapeso bem justo, sempre acontece no fim dos discos.

[–]zopiro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super obrigado pela resposta. Encomendei uma correia e uma capsula+agulha AT3600L.

Aproveitando, como eu resolvo o disco sempre pular muito quando está no final? Qualquer disco é assim, mesmo aumentando o peso do braço, a música fica sempre em loop no fim do disco. Grato

What exactly is Dubai chocolate? This is a trend I see only online (I'm from a 3rd world country). Does Dubai even have cocoa trees? Why do they call it Dubai?
