Skateboards with no pop. Guitars with shit intonation. More broadly: consumables that wear through too quickly and cause people to nope out of the hobby because it is ‘too expensive’, the list goes on.
There is something reassuring about quality gear because beginners don’t always know or properly understand this stuff.
With that said there is a point beyond which those returns begin to diminish.
Mostly we just make up our own race. I’ve pretty much settled on “dark white”.
I really don’t understand their position.
Cats cannot make a moral choice so what are these folks going to do when they see their “vegan” cat take down a bird or a mouse?
The fact that domesticated cats are notorious hunters really does make this whole thing pretty fucking funny tbh.
I’m asking this purely out of naivety, not trying to make a point: are you saying that because there are removed comments there that seem balanced and pretty thoughtful but have been removed regardless?
This is honestly my very first time looking at a modlog so I’m trying to got understand how to read it.
When is science ever “conclusive”?
That very concept is anti-science.
Nowadays “the science is inconclusive” is used to weasel out of corners that grifters paint themselves into.
Scientific consensus now there’s a concept worth understanding and putting forth in arguments such as this one.
Also in the industry and I gotta say it’s not often I agree with every damn point. You nailed it. Thanks for posting!
It’s almost like someone who uses that word is actually plantspalining.
“Meatsplained” made my day though fr.
There’s a human centipede that goes from Putin to Trump to Musk. That’s why they are doing it.
The original was a time and a place thing imo. It was a vibe that had a lot to do with the music, a lot to do with the awful circumstances surrounding Brandon’s death. You know at the time there were conspiracies a surrounding those circumstances tying into the death of Bruce Lee too so the movie had this lore to it from the start. The other thing worth mentioning is that at the time goth/industrial (dare I say it…) emo were an actual thing. I personally saw the first film in 16 up docs, my girlfriends skinny jeans and yes a touch of the old eyeliner. What I’m saying is it was relevant to a subset of the youth market. Not sure that’s true today.
Laugh quietly please. I still have a Meridian DAC that transcodes MQA. Among the gullible audiophile set there are tens of us. FML.
As a bedroom producer who spent his children’s college money on analogue synths: go fuck yourself asshole.
Is this real though? Does ChatGPT just literally take whole snippets of texts like that? I thought it used some aggregate or probability based on the whole corpus of text it was trained on.

When you paste that code you do it in your private IDE, in a dev environment and you test it thoroughly before handing it off to the next person to test before it goes to production.
Hitting up ChatPPT for the answer to a question that you then vomit out in a meeting as if it’s knowledge is totally different.
QA brought to you by ChatGPT.
Found the round-earther.
I too have underestimated the glee of right wing trolls at twitters turn around. They are keeping it alive somehow.
Or, you know, kids haven’t got the same grasp of adult life that grown ups do.
I have a 23 year old daughter. She has a job, an education, is currently travelling the world and she’s still really very immature in many ways. I know there be will be people that age right now reading this and hating it and you know you’re really still very far away from really getting this but there is SO much in life that we have to learn to let go. SO many failures of our own and of others that we need to find a way to live with. It took me a long, long time to really get to the point where I was able to forgive the world for being a place where certain bad things had happened. That’s the thing that finally allowed me to keep looking for goodness, to struggle for hope instead of being angry with reality. You look deep into any maladjustment be it drug addiction, eating disorders, rage, pretty much any negative compulsion - deep down in there it’s this. It’s this inability to forgive the world for being a place where bad things can happen. Which is clearly a child-like response to not getting our way. Only now “getting our way”, like it’s not that you were refused a treat but rather you’re waching the bigger part of humanity suffer and realising you’re near powerless to do anything about it. Two things can be true. The world can be a bad place sometimes but it can also be good. If you can’t forgive it for its failings you’ll struggle to see the good side.
