That's not microdosing. That's macrodosing.

Is this what an out of control madman looks like?

Tbh I have wanted something like this for ages. Is annoying if you want fish and chips and you can't get any fresh veg with it as a palate cleanser.

Your brain is constantly processing the inputs from all of your senses and pretty much ignoring them if they fit with what it is already expecting.

Your brain is lazy. If everything seems to fit with what your brain expects then you believe that what you are seing is reality and you generally ignore it.

Generally the mind only focuses on what it believes is salient/interesting/unexpected.

Well, it depends where you want to stick it, doesn't it?

I heard child labour was legal in the US again? Or is this not in Arizona?

Isn't this about 40 years too late?

 
 

I've recently been reading a little about Nijinsky and am wondering whether there is any online film of Nijinsky dancing available.

He was committed to an asylum in 1919 and was active shortly before this. This is well within the bounds of film and given his contemporaneous popularity I'm surprised I haven't been able to find any clips of him dancing online.

Does anyone know whether any footage exists?

Because I've lured you here with my question I'll give you this clip of Paul Giamatti doing a brilliant reading from Nijinsky's diaries: https://invidious.protokolla.fi/watch?v=XYnxo9K9fQo / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYnxo9K9fQo (beware, probably NSFW).

 

A UK Member of Parliament recently suggested that there should be a Government minister for men which would presumably do similar things to the existsing minister for Women.

This has thrown up a series of heated discussions on social media about whether this is part of the 'backlash' against feminsm, or whether there is a legitimate need for wider support of men's issues.

As a man who believes that there are legitimate issues disproportionately affecting men which should be addressed, what I really want help in understanding is the opinion that men don't need any targetted support.

I don't want to start a big argument, but I do want to understand this perspective, because I have struggled to understand it before and I don't like feeling like I'm missing something.
