Should this be the year we finally try voting for other candidates?

Jump

I mean, you're not wrong, but also try your best to primary candidates outside of the two parties, if you're in the US.

While it is true there are no good kings, we should try to get as many halfway decent people in the office as possible.

Once primaries are done, then under no circumstances vote for Republicans. And if the option is between a Democrat that might narrowly win and a third-party candidate that might narrowly win, then vote for the third-party candidate. Otherwise vote for Democrats.

There's a hard spiky chitinous shell on it, if that helps.

Real Height 📏

bizarroland @lemmy.world 14h ago

If it makes you feel better, it kind of hurt my brain for a minute, too. And I'm supposed to be good at math.

It boils down to my legs are 5 inches longer than her legs, so adding 5 inches to her height by swapping legs would take 5 inches from my height, and the reason why our individual heights are different afterwards is because of the 2 inch differences in our torsos.

Reddit decides to remove r/all

Even then you're adding to their active user count, which inflates their metrics, which means they get more money from advertisers.

But at the same time, good on you for using ad blocking. The internet is terrible without it and not very good even with it, at least on any mainstream corpo site.

See, that's the thing. They don't fucking care.

If you're going to use Reddit because it's one of the three websites available to you, then you're going to fucking use Reddit and no matter what they do to it, you will stay there and continue to use Reddit.

They could come into your house, fuck your wife, punch you in the balls, shit in your mouth, and you'd go to Reddit to complain about it.

The more you complain about things on Reddit about Reddit, the more you use Reddit, the more ads they serve, the more money they make.

It's the same reason why YouTube now no longer has a front page for you to browse unless you sign in or enable some sort of history tracker in your system. They want their fucking money and they're going to get it and they do not care how much it annoys you.

When people post on YouTube about how terrible YouTube has gotten and get a lot of interaction with people who miss the good old days of YouTube, YouTube gets to serve a lot of ads and make a lot of money off of that. And it's the same thing with Reddit, it's the same thing with every other fucking corpo site.

If I remember correctly, it was also a somewhat common method of murdering your husband to drive a nail into his skull. The tiny wound would be easily hidden and apparently quite a few people got away with it.

Is there a way to simulate towards/away panning?

Jump

bizarroland @lemmy.world 1d ago

Visualize how a sound would change with a microphone approaching the source, as it gets farther away, it will pick up more room echo and reflection and have less direct sound.

I would do something like duplicate the track and put a very strong reverb on the duplicate and then fade out the direct track as you fade in the indirect reverb track to simulate the microphone moving farther away from the source, and then do that in reverse to simulate it coming in closer.

I would also, in the reverb settings, make it 100% wet and 0% dry, so that the fade controls the dryness and reverb of the sound.

If I'm going for maximum realism, I might also just do a recording of a room with silence and then amplify the silence so that the air noises and everything are somewhat present in the playback and then mix that in as a third track so that you get real room sound mixed into everything.

Real Height 📏

The last girl I dated was 5'10", and I'm 6'1", for comparison, but when we sat down next to each other, she was a good 2", taller than me, because my legs are much longer than hers, but my torso is shorter.

If she had my legs, she would have been 6'3", and if I had hers, I would have been 5'8"

The reason why it tastes so good is because they put sugar in it.

Look at their breading. There's lines of caramel fried into the breading.

Is there any place in the constitution that gives the people the right to over throw a King/Wanna be dictator?

Jump

bizarroland @lemmy.world 2d ago

Yes, but former governments claimed to derive their authority from some sort of divine being, or noble birth, whereas the United States rebuked that, and said no, it is the people who give the government power.

Prior to that moment, rebelling against the government was rebellion against God or against your genetic betters.

After that moment, rebelling against the government is the people saying, "You have gone off track. It is time to put you back on track."

And in a way that is important, because since American government derives from the consent of the governed, it is vital for the people currently in power to keep the American people distracted from what is happening so that they do not align together in strong enough numbers to overthrow them.

Therefore we have continuous circuses.

The moment they stop dancing and distracting us from what is happening is the moment they lose everything.

I have often argued that the Declaration of Independence is the true foundational document of the United States, and very few people have ever countered my claim.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Yeah, I think this one's a winner assuming they retain the information after the conversation you could convince your younger self to make different choices and to put you into a different place.

Sure, you may no longer exist after the conversation, but the version of you that would exist afterwards might be less sad.

Whats your Pick for the "First Doctor Who Episode to Show Friends"?

I would try to find the old Doctor Who episode where they land on a marshmallow world and, like, at the end, the marshmallow world melts because it's made out of marshmallow.
