the crazy thing about placebo is just how effective it is. because yes, placebo could do that.
we have piles of studies that prove beyond a doubt that placebo can measurably and significantly aid in the healing of physical injuries like broken legs. you don’t Even need to believe in it. there’s studies where patients are told they’re being given a placebo that will do nothing, and they STILL got better faster than the group given nothing.
dry needing is a different thing. that’s where they electrically simulate the muscles to like hyper massage them. it’s kind of an extreme deep tissue massage. leaves me sore usually.
it’s not accupuncture, it’s a medical sound practice primarily done by physical therapists.
that would be fair if these companies weren’t incredibly profitable, only increasing that profit, and only using that profit to pay the executive and shareholders.
it’s just greed. they don’t need the money.
IDK, the people deciding that only care about money. i bet it will replace the expensive ones first. this will probably make many things even more shitty, but it’s not like anyone’s going to replace the like 8 tech companies that do anything. even if they all suck even worse
what are you watching that’s uhd and high ftamerate? is is something you made? I’ve never heard of anything releasing like that because yeah, most people can’t play that lol.
yeah, they should’ve picked a more common artist. i thought it was a trick about knowing the lead singer of a band at first.
i mean, this story sounds like it’s from pre-release testing, or maybe a trade show demo showing a pre-release build. it not working this way in the release version just makes sense, and doesn’t mean this is a fake story.
i work in video. i have one monitor as my primary “work” space. that’s where i put my timeline, or whatever I’m working on the most in that moment. sometimes it’s color controls, sometimes it’s keyframes and effects controls.
monitor 2 is actually my best monitor. that’s the video clean feed. that’s my big color accurate monitor.
monitor 3 is bins and scopes and effects and whatever other control surfaces and monitors i might need.
Yes, I would be very confused if you sent me one that way
Lol, saruman was more or less a theocratic monarchist with highly authoritarian practices like killing any who opposed his will. He literally used magic to dominate the wills of others. If anyone was leftist in that series it was the Hobbits. They were outright Communist with no government. Though there was certainly still a class structure of sorts there. It’s just tough to get a better look at Hobbit social politics. The books tend to just say “then they talked about their family history for 3 more hours” whenever it comes up.
Regardless, the stated intent of the story was to relay his experiences with war. Not with any political system. The forces of sauron and saruman just represented war itself. The feeling of its inevitable March towards you no matter how much you don’t want it and dread it. It’s very much how I’ve been feeling lately.
You’re just changing the direction of that light with a mirror. Picture a light bulb vs a light bulb in a flashlight with that reflector dish behind it.
Walls also do this, but to a lesser extent. If your concern is wasting light then get a lamp with a reflective directional shade. You know, like the Pixar lamp.
“i know you love sticking your dick in everything, but try not to fuck this one”
top 20 one liners for me. she was one of my favorites in that series.
yeah, genuinely rich people have never gotten their own food at any level. that have people to buy and cook their food.
hmm, that feels a bit like splitting hairs. at that point we have to argue whether the establishment is capitalism, or the government. and that just seems like a pedantic argument about semantics that will accomplish nothing. point being, most fascists want to overthrow their current government.
that’s still only a very small handful of places, though i agree. it’s spreading.
I’m pretty sure that’s the difference between anti establishing and anti government. the “establishment” is the established power structure. technically fascists ARE anti establishment in most places. and that’s a very good thing.
that’s significantly less bad of a problem than the current issue of no one being able to afford homes. that nurse might just have to go for the apartment… that’s really not that big of a deal.
did you intentionally say Dennis server? cause I’m gonna start saying that regardless.
or any of the other lemmy apps that start without ads…
i still haven’t heard a compelling reason to use that one other than “it’s what I was already used to on Reddit”
