Shove a cold beer into hot sand. Great idea.

You could pump the brakes a bit, though. You're coming in way too hot on this one.

Keywords, friend. Keywords.

Not in my experience. If you don't want to see politics there is a robust blocking system on Connect (and other apps I'm sure) that you can use.

It seems like you don't know the definition of the word truth or you've been taught an inaccurate version of it. They way you write makes me think that you read a lot online and I've noticed in the last five or so years that there seems to be a push by some people (typically with ulterior motives from what I've seen) to dilute the definition of truth to accomodate the propagation of their worldview.

Image of the definition of the word "truth" from the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language

The truth of the conversation is that the guy was wrong. Calamari is not caviar = True.

This idea of adapting the word "true" to conveniently dodge outright wrongness on a topic is a problem. You're using the wrong word if you're saying things like "my truth" or "your truth". It would be more accurate to say "my/your understanding".

As I mentioned before, the truth is something that exists outside of you. You refer to facts to describe the truth to the best of your ability. No one expects anyone to have a complete understanding about everything. Incomplete knowledge is just fine so long as you accept when others fill in the gaps or correct you.

Its OK to be wrong. If people accept their own fallibility, they grow with every conversation they have.

Nothing is eternal if you purposely limit the ability to preserve things.

How did you get that from what I said?

Here lemme flip the script on you. If you can't listen to someone and absorb information without immediately conjuring negative assumptions about them, you might not be fun to be with either.

The point was that facts are facts. The fact that calamari is not caviar is not malleable (unless you're in Estonia I suppose lol). It's just a cold hard fact that outside of Estonia they're two completely different things. In this situation there is no spectrum of rightness. You're just either right or you're wrong.

I'm not saying that its worth dying on the calamari hill in public. Handle that debate however you see fit.

You can find them at Giant Tiger too! Best damn pickles I've ever had!

Facts exist outside of you. Facts are already confirmed/researched and we just call upon them in conversation.

If an argument is based around a fact, there is indeed a right and wrong side. The accuracy of your recall of a given fact is the meaure of rightness in the argument.

iHeartRadio is a cancer. They're just consolidating everything like Ticketmaster did with venues.

I like to think I got pretty good at guitar. I'm no virtuoso but I've gotten to the point where I've been truly stoked about where I'm at skill-wise a couple times.

As a kid I always thought I'd plateau in my mid 20s and would never really progress from there but I'm 35 now and I feel like learning in general is still an easy thing to do, or at least get started on.

Here's a clip if you wanna check out some playing.

I also feel like I'm a pretty good music engineer/producer. I like covering songs to practice my skills. Here's one I did recently.

What would you like to modulate in the EQ?

To be honest it sounds to me like you're trying to figure out a way to put a square peg in a round hole, to use a hammer when you should just use a screwdriver.

Each tool in music production is going to have its strengths and weaknesses as well as use cases that are just not appropriate for a specific tool.

If you need reverb, use a reverb. There's multiple different kinds to play with.

Try not to over complicate things. You'll just end up wasting a lot of time.

 

Hey everyone,

Not sure I've seen this particular technique before.

Here's a tutorial on how you can use REAPER's stock gate plugin to generate MIDI that you can send to an EQ to modulate frequency bands to eliminate bleed in your drum tracks. This is super powerful on toms.

Inspired by the FabFilter Pro-MB bleed reduction tricks.

This is an all instruments/vocals scratch-made cover of the track that got me into Black Metal. A truly iconic masterpiece of atmosphere. I always wanted to do a cover of this track. I'm very happy with how this turned out.

Thanks to Yabridge (https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge) I was able to record, mix, and master this entirely on a Linux system (Nobara) running Reaper with stock Reaper plugins, many FOSS plugins, and a couple choice paid plugins; namely GGD Invasion and Sketch Cassette II. Everything else was free or open source by choice.

Hey folks, I'm hoping to find French Youtube channels to subscribe to based on the topics above. I don't get to engage much with French and I'm trying to maintain my ability to understand it and speak it. I figured if I inject some french content into my Youtube algorithm that would be very helpful.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. :)

 

...in what proximity would you have to be to the sun and how fast would you have to be spinning (like a rotisserie chicken) so that your light side didn't burn and your dark side didn't freeze; rotating just enough to keep a relatively stable temperature?

Absolutely absurd, I know but this question somehow popped into my head and won't leave. 😆🐔🔥🧊

[EDIT] Inb4 more people try to suggest that I'm mourning the loss of this scumbag capitalist fuck: No, I'm not sad he's dead. No, I don't think corporate murder is acceptable and no, I would not ever rat to police if I knew the shooter and yes, I believe the punishment fits the crimes he's committed against untold thousands of people. THAT SAID...

I'm not down with vigilante murder or anything because it seems like the slipperiest of slopes toward chaos, but what other option is there in a situation where someone seeks to make an impact in this way? You can't just beat up evil CEOs and let them go back to work. It would be naïve to expect them to change their ways when faced with consequences for their actions and then promptly let go. It just seems like the chances that it emboldens their penchant for exploitative behaviour and disdain for people in need are too high.

We're just born into and strapped to this capitalist ride and expected to sit quiet and make these leeches their billions. How else can this cancerous greed possibly be dealt with? Is vigilante murder the only effective option? Honest questions. I'm terribly conflicted and I'm genuinely curious what more reasonable and intelligent minds than mine think about this because I can't think of an alternative to murder in this case.

Ideally, we wouldn't have to resort to vigilante killings to level the playing field but I 100% understand that we don't live in a society where the rich will ever give a fuck about the rest of us or would ever sacrifice their power over us in the name of goodwill.

 

Real therapy cat vibes.

 
 

What outside wing thing? How to dinner time? How to exit tub (sphynx)? 4am zoomies land speed record? How to second dinner time? How to outside?

I was just reading this thread... https://sh.itjust.works/post/23476261

...and it got me thinking about something that I've wanted for a long time. Why is it that keyboards have not evolved to have dedicated copy/paste keys left of the main board? I'd love to see an additional column of keys left of Esc->Ctrl configurable as macros at least. I do a lot of copy/paste for work. The current shortcuts arent terrible or anything but they're not exactly comfortable. I'd rather move my whole hand to the left for a macro key than contort to hit the current shortcut.

What do you think?
