I mean… a daiquiri-fueled government-funded cruise would absolutely do both kinds of reproduction
- Comment on Stupid sexy raft 3 days ago:
I remember hearing there were one or two hookups, all supported by the rest of the group giving them as much privacy as possible. Yeah, turns out that if you remove societal pressures and leave people alone, they tend to be pretty chill.
- Comment on Stupid sexy raft 3 days ago:
Probably depends on the definition of “tribe”, but yeah, I agree in principle.
- Comment on Stupid sexy raft 3 days ago:
In all fairness, tribes did occasionally fight.

This is the stuff I come here for.
The paper, not the mushrooms. Although, if you have any shrooms…

That is not what I’m saying. More, most people won’t interfere or even support someone doing things like Hitler. You don’t have to love your boring 9-to-5 job organising the maintenance of the trains to the camps, but if you do it because not doing it involves inconvenience… Yeah.

The Nazis couldn’t have done their genocide without the support of thousands of people, all who made the decision to actively support it for their personal gain, believes, or just plain complacency. What is a genocide supporting gene in one time is a normal suburban life gene in another time.

Why are they so mean? And do you have their numbers, by chance?

As a non-vegan, what the fuck, mate? There are ways to disagree without essentially calling people insane.
- Comment on The moment we've all been waiting for: you now can have targeted ads on your 2k smartfridge 1 week ago:
Fair point, and I am not going to argue that. I am just pointing out that eating animal products you have already bought is the less bad option compared to not eating them.
- Comment on The moment we've all been waiting for: you now can have targeted ads on your 2k smartfridge 1 week ago:
Sure, but let’s assume you want to eat x grams of animal products a week. You could either buy them and eat them, or buy them, have them expire, and then you have to re-buy them. The second one clearly sucks more.

I mean, you are allowed to own a car in Europe, just saying.
Of course, if you live in a dense city with barely any parking spots and roads that are impossible to drive through on work days, practicality may be limited.

Hey, don’t kinkshame.
Actually, on second thought, do kinkshame this.

How would you even be able to say “10” then?
- Comment on do no harm 1 week ago:
I’ve luckily only had some broken bones, and there were not that bad. Like, sure, it sucked, but I could limp home with a broken arm, and even after surgery, I could leave the bed and go to the toilet with only non-opiate painkillers. I’d imagine “ten” is “one step from being unable to speak coherent words”, so quite a bit higher.

Definitely not enough delirium. Get this patient more opiates!

Yeah, too relatable and not enough crazy racism for pol, I am disappointed.

- Comment on Anon starts his day 2 weeks ago:
It starts with questionable stuff, and ends on fucking Ketamine. Bravo. Yep, that is a perfectly healthy routine.
Also, pro tip, don’t mess with your hormones (like testosterone) just to get more gains. There are many “body-builders” who have fried their hormone system and have to rely on permanent medication to function.

With great power comes great responsibility. The ability to control comes with the burden of having to exert that control
- Comment on Anon doesn't like the doors 3 weeks ago:
Jokes aside, my ears are not that terrible, but modern compression is pretty damn okay.
I don’t have an anechoic, soundproof listening room, no soundcard I’ve measured myself had more than 80-90 dB SNR in real world scenarios anyway, and I am not going to turn off all electronic appliances in my apartment when I want to listen to music. Plus, most headphones that don’t cost a kidney or two will likely be a weak part anyway, as they are analog, mechanical, imperfect devices with manufacturing spread, wearout, and just general real-world mess.
I had pretty good ears as a kid, and I remember taking an mp3 blind test at a museum back then. Sure, the lower quality levels are easy, but past 128-192 or so kb/s? Maybe if you know what to listen for, and switch back and forth, but out of the blue I personally wouldn’t notice compression in anything higher.
Therefore, I believe that anything past CD quality is voodoo and won’t hold up to a blind test for 99,999% of people, especially if you randomize loudness a bit. The ~100dB dynamic range are more than enough for normal music, and the frequency range is plenty for everyone older than 3. Enough space for decent filters to practically eliminate aliasing as well. The only reason I see for higher resolutions and bit depths is mixing/mastering, if you want to modify things several times and not have audible quality issues.
No offence, but 700 MB a song from an old tape master sounds borderline snake-oily as well. I wouldn’t call tape motor rumble, dust specks or random background EM “soul”, and I kind of doubt you can squeeze that much resolution out of old tapes, but I may be wrong here, tapes were largely before my time.

I firmly believe that high-res bluetooth codecs have way more fidelity than my ears have left after years of enjoying music

Got it, I will set my dating profile to me programming while naked. Ideally at 3 am, after a healthy diet of caffeine and chocolate and not having slept or showered for 48h. Surely that’ll attract all the hot, nerdy girls.

While it must suck for you, I am kind of jealous of that strength. I don’t even have a vagina, yet the thought of being able to break medical equipment with my private parts… dude…
- Comment on house rule 1 month ago:
I kind of thought of him as a high-functioning psychopath with some autistic tendencies. He does not really care about the consequences of his actions, and derives his meaning in life from doing a good job only. If that includes helping people, nice, if not, oh well.
- Comment on Republican? Democrat? There is a third option: 1 month ago:
The Dems are the conservatives, they want the status quo with maybe some mild reforms.
The Republicans apparently are the radicals, they want to change society (in a direction that I think is completely stupid, but still)
