Capitão América | A origem nos quadrinhos
LuciocOMG, logo que apareceu o Capitão América tinha um escudo triangular! O_o
Pronto, toda a minha visão de mundo foi destruída, entucharam a pílula vermelha pela minha goela abaixo! 8-(
Pai terá de indenizar a filha por abandono afetivo
LuciocQuer dizer que o Estado agora pode obrigar pessoas a amar os outros por lei?
WHAT A TWIST!!!
TIL an Ancient Roman punishment for the crime of parricide (the killing of a parent) was to severely scourge the criminal, sew them into a stout leather bag with a dog, a snake, a rooster, and a monkey, then throw the bag into the river.
LuciocOh well, a invenção dessa punição deve ter sido mais um efeito psicopatológico do envenenamento por chumbo...

Caracas chaos: Venezuelan general on the run
LuciocO caos na Venezuela é tão pessimamente noticiado (ou será que é só censurado mesmo?) aqui que eu nem sabia que tem um general rebelde que saiu porque - segundo ele - o Maduro virou um pau-mandado ideológico de Cuba.
Marco Polo | Conheça o elenco da nova série da Netflix
LuciocAlgo na sinopse me diz que vai ser uma desgraça inassistível de assassinato histórico tipo o "DaVinci Demons".
Eu não entendo esse "gênero". Para que assassinar a história, se podem inventar um universo de fantasia do nada? Game of Thrones demonstrou que isso pode ser feito tão bem, e de forma acessível para as massas...
Women are more socially anxious than men (but only just), new study with 31,000 participants finds. Social situations include talking to the opposite sex, reacting to criticism, etc.
LuciocA própria pesquisa coloca um monte de grãos de sal de porque os resultados deram isso, incluindo o lance de "aspectos culturais". A pesquisa foi feita "across several countries – 16 in Latin America, as well as Portugal and Brazil". Olha que interessante, Brasil não é America Latina aparentemente. :-P De qualquer forma, eles mencionam "componentes patriarcais fortes" nessas sociedades, e eu os *meus* próprios estereótipos são de que a cultura latina é mais escandalosa e drama queen.
Outro grão de sal que ponho é que demonstrar "social anxiety" é uma opção que a sociedade tolera em mulheres, mas repreende fortemente em homens. O double standard que eu vejo é de quando uma mulher dá xilique e se desespera todo mundo vai consolar, mas se um homem dá xilique e desespera recebe um tapa na cara de outro homem que diz para ele criar vergonha e dar um jeito de resolver o problema. 8-)
[Interpretation Request] What does a finger portruding from my belly mean?!
Lucioc"I tried googling but fingers sticking out of bellies don't seem to be a common occurence"
Really?
Really weird dream I'm hoping someone can help interpret. I was helping my sister tidy up the bathroom in our old house where we grew up. Don't know if this is relevant, but I never got along with my sister growing up until a few years ago when I started meditating and forgiving and I just started treating her (and anyone) as I would want to be treated despite what she (or anyone) does and our relationship has greatly improved. So anyway while I'm helping her put away towels in the closets or something, I notice a finger sticking out my belly!? I'm freaked out by it and after a few seconds of panic, I decide to touch it and luckily it just snaps off and falls to the floor without hurting me. I tried googling but fingers sticking out of bellies don't seem to be a common occurence lol :p Thanks in advance

TIL there is an extremely effective, reversible, cheap, simple, and long-term birth control procedure for men in phase III clinical trials in India
LuciocÉ uma injeção dum treco no saco que deixa a testosterona e os espermatozóides sendo produzidos normalmente, mas os espermatozóides ficam "quimicamente incapacitados" (seja lá o que for isso). Em teoria pelo menos é bem mais facilmente reversível que a vasectomia e não causa efeitos colaterais de "blue balls" (i.e., acúmulo de espermatozóides no saco).

A study conducted by the Medical University of Graz in Austria found that vegetarians are less healthy than meat-eaters, despite drinking less, smoking less and being more physically active than meat-eaters. They also carry elevated risks of cancer, allergies and mental health problems.
LuciocLinkando esse estudo de novo porque achei isso aqui: "Participants who ate less meat also showed a tendency to avoid attending doctors appointment for preventative measures such as vaccines, the authors found."
Ah, então vegetarianismo é *realmente* coisa de hippie, igual "medicina alternativa"? =)
P.S.: brincadeiras a parte, fui olhar o estudo e achei mais umas coisas bizarras. Eu descobri que o cohort de "vegetarianos" é formado por gente puramente vegetariana, ovo-lacto-vegetarianos e "ictio-ovo-lacto-vegetarianos"(se é que existe esse termo) - ou seja, na verdade eles definiram "vegetariano" como "gente que não come carne" (e peixe não é carne :). De modo que minha hipótese de que esse povo simplesmente sofre de carência de vitamina B-12 foi pro brejo - afinal, ovo, laticínios e peixe têm B12.
Será que tem "algo" ou "algos" de micronutrientes a mais na carne que ainda desconhecemos?

Godzilla - "Whatever It Takes" [HD] - TV SPOT
LuciocAparece muito rapidamente o Godzilla irritado porque está sendo atacado por mísseis. (Será que são tipo mordidas de pernilongo para nós? Eu também ficaria irritado.) Acho que é a primeira imagem clara no marketing-suspense do filme, que até agora só mostrava silhuetas enevoadas e rabos gigantes passando.

Fermi Data Tantalize With New Clues To Dark Matter
LuciocA primeira vez que esses raios gama foram detectados no centro galático, anos atrás, fiquei muito cético. O centro da fonte era meio deslocado do centro exato da galáxia por exemplo, o que não condizia com modelos de matéria escura.
Esse novo estudo porém é bem mais cuidadoso e agora o resultado parece bem condizente com alguns modelos de matéria escura - a fonte é bem centralizada e bem difusa, se estendendo omnidirecionalmente por milhares de anos-luz ao redor do centro galático.
Agora acho que só falta a tal detecção direta mesmo, em experimentos controlados aqui na Terra...

"A group of 3,000 ordinary citizens, armed with nothing more than an Internet connection, is often making better forecasts of global events than CIA analysts."
LuciocFiquei com vontade de increver, mas como era de se esperar de um projeto demente do governo americano o processo é lento e doloroso. Talvez eu lembre disse em algum fim de semana e tente me increver.
No artigo citam o "experimento do boi morto", mas também citam que algumas pessoas inscritas parecem ser *excepcionalmente* proféticas. Gostaria de saber se detectaram alguma significância estatística para esses desvios (i.e., serem maior do que seria esperado por pura chance) - mas, se existir, provavelmente é um dado confidencial mesmo. 8-)

kept finding strange animals in my bathtub
i just had the strangest dream, i was about to take a bath but i just had a feeling not to, then this otter that took up nearly the whole tub came to the surface, it somehow teleported on top of the sink, then a fish that turned into either a weasel or an anteater came up out of the water, and finally a hamster. it turned out the anteater was actually a bat, when it flew into my room following me. what the fuck

Lizard/Dog Pet
LuciocOMG! Quando a engenharia genética estiver (MUITO) mais avançada temos de fazer o cachorro-lagarto!
I wish I could remember the beginning of the dream I had last night. It changed settings a couple of times before the last part I remember.
I was at my childhood home, in my old room. It was nighttime and I was there with some other females that seemed familiar but I can't place now. I saw something very strange on the carpet so I went over to get a better look. It looked like a giant green grasshopper from the distance but as I got closer, I realized it was more reptilian.
It was bright green and was kind of glossy, looked like a cross between a grasshopper/lizard mixed with a puppy! The puppy part showed up as a furry brown plush belly underneath. I was scared at first but eventually I became endeared by it, picked it up, and decided I would keep it as my pet.
I took it out into the living room to show my brother and his friends who were there. They seemed unamazed by it. My brother just said,"Yep, it used to be Herb's (his friend Herbie)." I, on the other hand, was just so amazed by it and thought it was the cutest thing ever.
I might draw a doodle of what I remember it looking like later on and add it.. It's hard to put to words because the way it looked seemed to sort of change every time I saw it but it was the same creature the whole time and the changes didn't really register.
Edit: just for reference, it seemed about the size of a cat or a large-breed puppy.

Pushing Toward The Final War -- Paul Craig Roberts
LuciocO Paul Craig Roberts - que vale lembrar, é "das antigas", secretário da Era Reagan - acha que esse negócio da anexação da Criméia já virou uma bola de neve que vai dar na Terceira Guerra Mundial.
Eu acho que ele está pensando com cabeça de velhinho decrépito e acho que o Ocidente vai simplesmente deixar a Rússia (e a China, não vamos nos esquecer do que está acontecendo no mar do outro lado da Ásia) fazerem o que quiserem, só ocasionalmente fazendo poses de ultraje cada vez menos convincentes.

FHC diz que incluir caso Alstom na CPI é 'eleitoreiro'
LuciocAh, então o governo quer sem mais nem menos misturar Alstom no que já é conhecido por CPI da Petrobrás?
Desculpe, governo, mas é uma idéia de jerico para desviar atenção. Compara a brand recognition de "Petrobrás" com a de "Alstom", que 99% dos brasileiros nem têm idéia do que seja.
Cultura machista está impregnada na sociedade brasileira, diz socióloga
Lucioc"Nina ressalta que o novo Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE), que está tramitando no Congresso, prevê uma educação voltada para a promoção da igualdade de gênero. No entanto, diz a socióloga, esse princípio está sendo questionado por grupos conservadores, sobretudo pela bancada evangélica, que querem retirá-lo do texto."
Naaaaaaaaaahhhhhh, me desculpe mas depois do bafafá em cima desse PNE eu já procurei umas palavras-chave no texto do projeto de lei e tudo que ele fala em matéria de gênero-sexo é muuuuito vago e genérico e parece principalmente voltado para direitos GLBT, com pouco ou nada contra machismo/sexismo. O que provavelmente é a causa do frisson entre os conservadores. Então falar que PNE vai mudar mensuravelmente alguma coisa na mentalidade dos brasileiros me parece meio que um stretch - tanto nos argumentos dos liberais quanto dos conservadores.
Além disso, essa socióloga tem uma idéia que não bate com minha experiência: “A escola é espaço estratégico porque tem centralidade na vida dos jovens." Errrrrr, para coisas ligadas a cultura e visão de mundo não. Minha experiência da época de escola é que a gente aprendia a ler, escrever, fazer contas, etc mas cagava para coisas tipo "educação moral e cívica"; moral e conceitos de certo e errado sempre foram aprendidos em casa. A não ser que as coisas tenham mudado muito em 20 ou 30 anos - outra reclamação da direita é a de que as escolas foram transformadas em madrassas ideológicas...
