I pay $2800 a year to this company for Internet and TV

Did they connect your house with solid gold cables or what is this?

tobogganablaze ,

It’s the layout I know by heart so switching to anything else would just worse. No thank you.

tobogganablaze ,

And it seems to work out quite well for them.

tobogganablaze ,

How is that even a question? Bill Burr is a legend.

Also, I collect/watch all of real time. Bill Burr wasn’t on any episode this year/season.

tobogganablaze ,

Don’t be, I go to the effort of pirating it each week because I quite enjoy it.

Though watching Kellyanne Conway two episodes ago was quite tedious.

tobogganablaze ,

Las Vegas or Miami?

tobogganablaze ,

The vast majority of music without lyrics sucks.

tobogganablaze ,

Nah, classical music is one example. Another big one is techno/electronic stuff.

tobogganablaze ,

I kind of agree with you, there is a lot of great soundtracks. However, for me a soundtrack is part of a larger medium, which it underscores or sublements. Most of them make medicore songs at best when listend to in isolation.

tobogganablaze ,

Take rap for example, doesn’t it fit in a larger medium that is the rapper’s life ?

Maybe. I don’t really care about artists and usually know nothing about them, so that aspect is usually irrelevant to me.

tobogganablaze ,

I mean you’re right, they don’t exist in a vaccum. But for me they might as well.

All I care is the song. Like if a specific pattern of sound waves makes my brain go “I enjoy that” then I like it. I really don’t think any additional consideration are necessary or relevant.

tobogganablaze ,

Of course, that’s valid.

But I think your initial point was that songs, like soundtracks, are part of a bigger medium. And I don’t really agree with that. A good song is a good song on it’s own but a good soundtrack in context may make a lousy song on it’s own.

tobogganablaze ,

Can’t you say that of everything though ? Take rap for example, doesn’t it fit in a larger medium that is the rapper’s life ?

It was that part.

Adding an epic soundtrack to a movie scene transforms both pieces into a new expirence. I just don’t see how adding the context of an artists life to a song is comparable to that.

tobogganablaze ,

There is definitely exceptions. Though guitar instrumentals don’t do it for me, even though I generally listen to the rock/metal genre.

But for example I really like violin covers by this one artist/youtuber of movie and game soundtracks (especially the Zelda games). But that’s some of the only instrumental music I listen to and only when I’m in a specific mood.

And even there I think nostalgia is doing most of the heavy lifting for me enjoying the songs.

tobogganablaze ,

the other is the socio economical context of the rapper’s life that people might relate to.

Interessting, you talking more about relating to the artist directly. I guess in rap it’s very common for many songs to tell very personal stories, so people related to the broader story that spans the entire artists work. I haven’t really consider that. Good point.

tobogganablaze ,

Just quoting one of my comments I made elsewhere in this thread:

I’ll save this comment, because I’m not going to check those suggestions out right now.

Maybe in a few weeks you’ll get a random reply to this comment. I’ve done it before, but no promise.

tobogganablaze ,

Less then a quarter of people speak English, so not even close.

Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail?

It’s actually sick, they already get a light sentence and also getting protected by the justice system while the victim they violated is heavily traumatized, probably for life. And what’s crazier is it’s happening more, I’m seeing it daily now every time I scroll, there’s another case. Just a few days ago a middle aged...

tobogganablaze ,

I guess there are some stupid questions …

tobogganablaze ,

That’s one of the worst analogies I’ve ever seen.

tobogganablaze ,

I mean, no. But I get your point. Even a blind man could see how bad it is.

tobogganablaze ,

When you call yourself “Verkehrswende” but protest an EV factory. You can’t make that shit up.

tobogganablaze ,

It’s still Germany, cars are not going anywhere. Also there is much bigger car manufacturers that still produce gasoline cars. I hate Elon as much as the next guy, but protesting the one EV factory just seems silly.

But at least it’s a big step up from throwing soup at paintings.

tobogganablaze ,

In that case the slogan I mentioned makes even less sense …

tobogganablaze ,

What is this, a comic for ants?

tobogganablaze ,

That’s the exact same resolution (365x750 pixels)

tobogganablaze ,

A little bit. Most people just count the years.

tobogganablaze ,

Oh that’s supposed to stay attatched? Thought it was only to make sure that bottle was unopened. I always just rip it off.

tobogganablaze ,

That’s cute, but doesn’t quite hold a candle to Tarrare.

tobogganablaze ,

Dunno, he really seems to be into his daughter.

tobogganablaze ,

Went straight to the browser for me.

Seven out of 10 Europeans believe their country takes in too many immigrants (english.elpais.com)

Europeans view immigration with increasing suspicion. Seven out of 10 Europeans believe that their country takes in too many migrants, according to a survey carried out by BVA Xsight for ARTE Europe Weekly, a project led by the French-German TV channel ARTE GEIE and which EL PAÍS has participated in, as part of the countdown to...

Seven out of 10

Why? Why mix words and digits in that way. That’s not acceptable.

tobogganablaze ,

I’m very sorry.

tobogganablaze ,

I don’t think it’s an “or” situation. They are both.

tobogganablaze ,

!reddit is probably more suited for complaining about reddit.

tobogganablaze ,

lol, they are still around. Amazing. I was at one of their farewell concerts before they got back together for their 2004 album.

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...

Master Yoda?

Everyone knows meat is bad

The hell are you talking about? Meat is awesome, probably one of the best things to exist.

Does color change how hot a laser can get something?

For convenience sake let’s say you have 2 identical lasers, one is blue and one is red. And you shine it on lead (so none of the light leaks through) until the lead doesn’t heat up anymore. Would the temperature change at all between the different color lasers. It doesn’t have to be red or blue, it could be microwave or x...

tobogganablaze ,

Red light will generally carry less energy than blue light, so if you want a red and blue laser with the same power output, you need more intensity on the red laser.

Also the colour affects how some materials absorb the energy. A material that is good at reflecting red light won’t heat up as quickly from a red laser, for example.

it could be microwave or x ray, just different colors is nessisary.

Colour just means different wave lenghts of light. So x-ray is a different “colour” from microwave.

tobogganablaze ,

I can totally spend all my money. I’ll just get more next months. It wouldn’t be optimal, but I’d be far from fucked.

tobogganablaze ,

The trouble with triples …

tobogganablaze ,

No, most people pre-heat their ovens.

tobogganablaze ,

Is this real? Because I’m pretty sure that was a South Park episode …

tobogganablaze ,

I’m so glad I’m stuck with a “your hardware doesn’t support windows 11” message.

Torrenting exposes your public IP. In a country where government doesn't care, does that pose a risk?

I honestly don’t believe I will have any legal trouble because I don’t do anything like cp or worse, I just pirate media I like, not even porn. But across users of communities, or on public trackers, is IP exposure something to be concerned about?

tobogganablaze ,

But who created it is irrelevant, the seeding is the legal issue.

tobogganablaze ,

I mean, I can’t speak for every obscure jurisdiction that might exist, but I’ve never heard of that being a factor.

tobogganablaze ,

came to an agreement to not invest in companies supporting the war

No, they came to an agreement to listen to a proposal to maybe not invest in those companies.

tobogganablaze ,

You can torrent most TV shows a couple of hourse after they aired.
