Japan: Ground Swaying and Liquifying

sanderbos says...

Can someone speak to the validity of this video? I am amazed by it, but don't understand it.
I never heard the ground would keep moving after a quake completed (but living in the Netherlands means I know nothing of earth-quakes)? I also wouldn't think that with the amazing forces at work below the surface, on the surface it would manifest at points where one kind of man made street would meet another kind of man made street (why is the movement among the seams of the pavement, instead of just a new crack at a random point in the street)?

"Sid and Nancy" - Ending Scene

gwiz665 says...

Spoiler from youtube (spelling errors and all):

This is probably the best scene of a movie I ever watched. When i think about it, the strange place the kids (sid liked to play with kids) the pizza in the midlle of nothing, nobody was selling pizza because when he kicked the table no one protested. At the first look it seams that is too much mistakes but the dreams are wierd and i think that this scence is to demonstrate that when he died with overdose Sid was dreaming, dreaming with pizza, kids and nancy of course. Sid is the best!

Reconsider Columbus Day

Ryjkyj says...

I don't get it. When I moved to NYC people acted like Columbus day was a big deal. I even got the day off work for it. I thought that was the weirdest thing ever. Aside from elementary school (which is completely full of shit about almost everything) I didn't think people even paid attention to Columbus day. Anybody with half a brain knows about Erik the Red and his son. And anyone with any book lurnin' knows the Basques were probably here before that. Not to mention it doesn't really take ANY deductive power at all to know who was here first(Jesus and the Mormons).

That said, name an important historical figure from around 1492 that wasn't a monster. Shit, the natives would've happily killed us all if it got us off our land.

Seams like this is a pretty weak statement to make that a lot of people will probably never care about.

EDIT: ...oh wait, ok, I wasn't done watching the video. I'm all for a day to remember the indigenous people that were here first. Whatever.

Dog Pack Feeding With Patience.

daxgaz says...

with our dog, he is fed after our dinner. Every night at dinner he is in command to lay down and watch us all have dinner. Then, after every person is finished, he is put in command while his food is set out for him and he is required to do a command or two before eating. This clearly communicates to him who is in control.

It may seam mean and it would be mean to do to a HUMAN. But dogs are not people and don't want to be treated like people. Treating a dog like the lowest member of the family is good for them and they like it. It takes the weight of pack leadership off their shoulders which is a relief to them.

When a dog is allowed to eat at their leisure, they are being told they are the boss and they will often act accordingly. The boss dog gets to bite inferiors if they are out of line and bark at inferiors and all other kinds of nasty behavior. There is a great book called "be the dog" that goes in to detail about dog psychology and i highly recommend it to any dog owner.

I hate the smugness of Apple

direpickle says...

I own a G4 TiBook (circa summer 2001). It really was the biggest waste of money I've ever spent on a piece of computer hardware, though it did remain sorta-functional (with abject babying--most of my classmates, who were less careful, had theirs literally falling apart at the seams within a few months) up until 2008 or 2009 or so. I'm a lot more pleased by my T61p from Lenovo, two and a half years into its life, though I have a few issues with it as well.

In fact, I think the TiBook cost me as much as my Lenovo and my last two desktops combined.

How To Brainwash a Nation

NetRunner says...

It's amazing to me how ensconsed in the bubble the right is these days.

Let's break it down:

  1. Ideological subversion propagation - Radical conservatives begin pushing their ideology to all members of society through churches, schools, and supposedly independent policy research "think tanks". This begins in the early 30's, and is a systematic campaign aimed at chipping away at the credibility of embedded liberalism, America's original ideology. The "threat of communism" is conflated with traditional American values like empathy, solidarity, and equality.

  2. Destabilization - The 1960's reads literally like a textbook example of a country in crisis. A presidential assassination, two proxy wars, a mexican standoff with nuclear weapons, a counterculture protest movement, race relations getting strained with protests and violence, and the then-dominant Democratic party coming apart at its seams over disagreements about the war and civil rights.

  3. Crisis - This one is clear. The oil crisis of the 1970's was our key takeover crisis moment. It basically ushered in an end to embedded liberalism as the American way of life. So many aspects of our political life and the way our economy was run was radically changed in the aftermath of that crisis, even though it was a walk in the park compared to today's economic problems.

  4. Normalization - Conservative Republicans won 3 terms in a row, from 1980 until 1992, followed by a conservative, Southern Democrat who won in part because a third party candidate split Republican support. Party-line economists have treated the works of John Maynard Keynes the way their forebears treated the work of Karl Heinrich Marx -- they pretended it had nothing worthwhile to say, and tried their best to erase it from academic discourse. The Democrats of today consider reforms Republicans proposed in 1992 massive ideological win for the left.

Take the bananas out of your ears, morons.

Anyways, this is actually a pretty astute observation about how radical political and economic change happens. It's not necessarily planned like our conservative takeover was, but the framework for all ideological revolutions start with an ideology becoming commonly known, then during a period of destabilization and crisis, people may turn to the new ideology.

This is literally what more than a few libertarian bloggers say is their raison d'etre -- to make sure the ideology is lying around for when a crisis hits.

However, anyone who thinks some Russian-led infiltration of "Marxist-Lenninist" ideology happened or is happening is fucking deluded. It would've been a real trick considering your average American doesn't have a fucking clue what Marxism is...because the right stigmatized knowledge of it!

Mumford & Sons "Thistle and Weeds" & "Dust Bowl Dance"

calvados says...

http://lyrics.wikia.com/Mumford_%26_Sons:Thistle_%26_Weeds

Spare me your judgments and spare me your dreams
Cause recently mine have been tearing my seams
I sit alone in this winter clarity which clouds my mind
Alone in the wind and the rain you left me
It's getting dark darling, too dark to see
And I'm on my knees, and your faith in shreds, it seems

Corrupted by the simple sniff of riches blown
I know you have felt much more love than you've shown
And I'm on my knees and the water creeps to my chest

But plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds
Rain down, rain down on me
Look over your hills and be still
The sky above us shoots to kill
Rain down, rain down on me

But I will hold on
I will hold on hope

I begged you to hear me, there's more than flesh and bones
Let the dead bury the dead, they will come out in droves
But take the spade from my hands and fill in the holes you've made

But plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds
Rain down, rain down on me
