I don't think that article is correct.

I've never understood subsequent realization to be integral to the dissonance itself, which already exists regardless of one's awareness of it.

It's like insisting that you are not depressed unless you "realize" you're depressed.

unless by "realization" that article simply mean experiencing conflicting emotions, which is the cognitive dissonance itself.

requiring "realization" of a feeling as a prerequisite to that feeling existing doesn't check out.

I was hoping for a much higher quality, but they're still kind of funny

holding two conflicting beliefs at the same time.

like you don't believe in the death penalty, but you read about a child molester and want them to die.

a lot of aggregators just throw shit together, but 1440 works pretty hard on making sure their articles are simply reporting significant news from reliable sources.

as far as a collection of news, I get a lot of it from 1440, which compiles current, objective news stories reliably.

I get ideas from the posts here, but I'm pretty careful about checking multiple sources before accepting any of the articles people post here as legitimate information.

it sounds like you were protecting the Nazi-punchers rather than the Nazis.

That's the right call!

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 57 points 4 days ago

just like violence isn't applicable everywhere, non-violence isn't applicable everywhere.

back in the day, nazis used to get violently run out of shows because they tried to infiltrate the punk movement and punks said "Nazi punks fuck off" and then punched them until they left.

i like watching "making-of" or "behind-the-scenes" featurettes and documentaries about the behind the scenes machinations of movie making, but in terms of literature, I'm not sure what to look for if i want to learn about the process Martha wells went through to conceive the murderbot diaries, for example.

i can search for making-of The Matrix and find documentaries, but not making-of project hail Mary and find similar literary results.

is there a section of literature like this?

should i be reading annotated editions?

thanks

I used to take screenshots of the picture I wanted to use as wallpaper, but then Android stopped that from working, and now I have to manually add a giant border to make the screenshots fit the arbitrary fiant wallpaper size on the Android screen.

any normal screenshot I take is blown way oversized, is there any way to simply make a screenshot my wallpaper yet on Android?

it seems crazy that this is still so complicated years later on Android, am I missing something?

Thanks for any help

I remember

spoilera couple different things.

less clearly, i remember Hanks trying to kill himself, the branch breaking and then you seeing the broken tree until the scene fades to black into the next scene. but I suspect this scene was actually from another movie.

more clearly, i remember Tom hanks' character suicide-testing a wooden dummy to test the carrying capacity of the branch that is on a short but tall-enough cliff, but the dummy is too heavy and the branch breaks.

Branch can't break twice, so I'm clearly remembering something wrong, but I "know" that whatever I saw happened fairly early on in the movie and was not his description of attempted suicide near the end of the movie.

I remember a fairly lengthy (2-3 minutes) action scene of him physically testing the tree off a cliff.

other people swear that neither scene was in the movie and there's only the description of his attempted suicide at the end.

there are unsubstantiated rumors that the scene was in the theatrical version(which is the version i saw) but not in home releases.

I haven't seen the movie since I saw it in theaters when it came out.

What do you remember?

the car models can be whatever, I'm just curious if anyone is dressing up their cheap cars as expensive ones or if this is an industry yet?

is there a legal hurdle?

is there a limit to car decision in general?

is this sort of car case business already a thing?

Update: thank you everyone! user @Today has provided a great link of a discussion that suggests the correct answer is where being an abbreviation of, whereas as a replacement of since, hypothesized in these comments.

As I love archaic definitions, I'm more convinced to now that this is the answer!

Especially since the question originates from one weirdo using "where" instead of since.

Like "Where we knew he was heading to Chicago tomorrow, we got on the first plane heading east to intercept."

"Where we knew where the safe was, we began to cut through the wall in the corner behind her desk."

Thanks

This is the first I've heard of it, but here's one of his infamous quotes:

"There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews.

I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”

His other quotes tend to be condemnation about specifically Israeli zionism and barbaric murder, but i don't have context as to whether he's referring to palestine or not. Some people might have more sympathy for these statements these days, but a lot of his other quotes have to do with Jews controlling money and media, less defensible prejudice.

I haven't met anyone yet who does and I haven't read any good endorsements about foldable phones but I keep seeing advertisement for foldable phones.

Thanks
