The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

When I was a child in the 1970s, plenty of adults said this, and it was a completely uncontroversial thing for a person to say.

If saying that gets your post moderated, then the platform in question is a safe-space for Nazis.

One of the challenges of using an iPhone to shoot professional footage is apparently that the iPhone so aggressively fucks around with your image that it requires a team of Apple engineers to turn all that stuff off for you if you actually know what you are doing

Regardless of how the iPhone image quality and resolution has improved, one of the major challenges of using it as a professional tool remains how hard it is to get around its auto settings, and the built-in AI and 3D image sensing designed to help us mere mortals take better photos. For example, if you are shooting in low light, your iPhone camera automatically adjusts a combination of the aperture, shutter speed, and sensor’s light sensitivity — each of these adjustments has a profound and different impact (depth of field, image clarity, how motion is represented) on the image. It’s the type of adjustment professionals need full control over.

“You need a skilled cinematographer to manipulate [the iPhone] because there are restrictions to do with the algorithm that operates them, that you need to override at certain times for necessities of drama,” said Boyle.

But Mantle refused to take sole credit. “You need a lot of help. I had to deactivate [the algorithm], and Apple was very compliant. I engaged with them and I had five to 10 of these Apple wizards from the bunker in San Francisco on the blower with me and my guys trying to work out how to control certain things on the iPhone, and try to understand a little bit more about the DNA of it. Because they understand that we are creatures of control, and I had to let it go sometimes, but I also had to know what I had to stabilize inside the phone. So they helped me get there and were quite transparent.”

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

My guess is the only thing that was “obliterated” this weekend is the meaning of the word “obliterated.” #Politics #Iran

¿Sabéis una cosa que hace "muy bien" la psicología al tratar individualmente problemas sociales?
Relegar al ostracismo a quienes peor están.
"Esa es una persona toxica", "yo ya me he trabajado lo mío, que se trabaje él lo suyo", "ve a terapia", todo esto lo he visto utilizado contra personas que pedían ayuda, que han acabado solas, porque rompían con la "felicidad normativa". Dicho por las mismas personas que luego te dicen que pidas ayuda si estás mal, y cuando la pides te mandan a terapia o que llames al teléfono del suicidio, ese que va a acabar con un poli y una ambulancia en la que te van a atar, en la puerta de tu casa.

"Este tipo de personas te hunden, mejor alejarse", "hay que alejarse de la gente que habla desde la rabia", sin mirar si esa rabia es o no legítima, también os digo, es una forma de mantener el statu quo.
Todos esos psicólogos youtubers hablando de "si conocéis a una persona de este tipo, alejaos". No deja de semejarse al miedo que meten sobre ciertos sectores de población, migra, gitana, racializada cuando dicen "tienen otras costumbres, mejor separarse".

Algo debería hacer clic en nuestras cabezas cuando el mandato de la normalidad implica aislar a la gente.

El estoicismo es un poco como el consejo de salir al campo si estás deprimido.
¿Tiene algo de malo salir al campo? No. Pero el problema está en la intención del consejo, que es "deja de quejarte por cómo están las cosas, deja de pedir ayuda, deja de buscar la raíz de los problemas".
Si yo te digo que el estoicismo es simplemente aplicar inteligencia emocional cuando surjan los problemas que no puedas controlar, está bien. Si digo que cuando tengas un problema tienes que volverte duro como una roca para ser un macho, lo que te estoy vendiendo es individualismo, cinismo, un bajo concepto de la humanidad y distrayendote con unas llaves (la masculinidadTM) mientras te robo la cartera.
