Dismantle the DHS? Whoa there. Lets cool it with the antisemitism

Whichever alphabet agent is watching me through my phone and the signals from my wifi, I guess.

In terms of gear, a good amp, and a good DAC (Digital Audio Converter) with a solid pair of headphones can turn your digital music into brand new songs.

Even my cheap DAC and headphone amp can output enough quality to hear the difference between FLAC and every other format (the realisation that music having ‘texture’ wasn’t just audiophiles being pretentious and was more like ‘being able to hear ALL the instruments’ ruined my bank account) :')

Vinyls are, to me at least, more a way of having something to directly support the artist and gaining a piece of musical art.

My record player has been out of commission after being stupid enough to hit the play button without a record or deck protector and chunking off the tip of the diamond. (Since it’s a vintage record player a new stylus is about 300)

I’m not gonna lie the old peace kinda threw me off in terms of what the lore is, feels like I’ve missed something between the hex quest and the old peace

Also some people will try to goad a reaction out of you. At what point never underestimate the power of asking “What do you mean by that?” To someone over and over

Wild that the sitting president can call you a domestic terrorist off rip

Oh god, a metal box filled with shards of silicon glitter and neodymium magnets makes for a helluva projectile.

Gotta get yourself some good gloves or a very specifically sized desktop trebuchet.

Keeping a low profile by learning how to make the NT’s comfy around you is a hard to learn but worthwhile skill.

You’ll find that NT people view you as chill but quiet if you just listen along and occasionally show that you’re retaining some information, especially if you remember what people are into and ask them simple open questions about it.

Another part is what others here have said; aim to do the casual conversation with the types of people who enjoy it, but don’t feel bad or cut out someone altogether if theyre having a day when they’re not feeling talkative (everyone’s trying to work out how to be a human when they’re a teenager, NT’s are just better at hiding that they don’t know :D )

You mean like making meta shadowban anyone that speaks out against atrocities in the middle east, like how they use shitter to astroturf every one of their beliefs, or how they had to make their own version of facebook just for propaganda?

Why would the BBC watch youtube when they’ve got genocidal world leaders to propagandize for? /J

Ballas from Warframe (at least they gave him the ol’ snip)

At what point do they get sued for attempted murder? Considering how those “less lethal” rounds are designed to be fired at the ground to indirectly bounce at a person, and even then, only at long distances.

In close quarters they are entirely lethal.

Bro stores his hard drives in the microwave

Digg still exists?!

We’ve seen direct evidence of them use white phosphorous munitions on Gazans since 2023.

Aye but that micron thin oxide layer that it gets looks magnificent, if you put it in an oven at the right temp you could get it coming out almost goldlike

In this situation it’s safe to say that the DJ of the 90s vs AI today is an “Apples and oranges” comparison.

Where you’re taking an endeavour of human effort to take bits of music that already exist and making something brand new out of it, much the same way you could reuse wood claimed from an old 1920s boat to make a new one. Comparing that to “The computer program that makes something that sounds like it could be music because it’s copying real songs.”

I know it’s just an analogy to give an example but ive heard the argument so many times now it’s become habit to talk it through lol.

In terms of holding two similar beliefs that are tangentially related, it’s entirely possible to say where you draw the line, especially if the argument is a fallacy, for example like the slippery slope, where a person arguing believes that any minor concession will have an exaggerated impact.

One of these guys, for example.

If it needs to be waterproof you can thread the LEDs into silicone tube, seal the ends with a dab of bathroom sealant and put the powerbank in a strong ziplock bag

COB LED strips are an absolute godsend, grab two 5v usb powered strips and weave them around your bike frame / your backpack/a high vis jacket, power it off a phone charger block, you can ride for hours without worrying about being seen because you and your bike have neons
