Neutron Music Player for Android. Yes the UI is outdated, but the efficiency and feature set cannot be beat. It’s so efficient on battery life compared to both streaming music services like Spotify, or any other local music player Android app. And the feature set is incredible. The full parametric equalizer, built in frequency response correction for almost any headphone model you can name, volume normalisation, EQ presets, direct USB access to USB DACs to bypass Android volume or format limitations, crossfeed for headphones, and that’s just what I can think of now. I’m sure there are more features I haven’t even used yet.

Need For Speed Underground 2. That was a great racing game. Shortly followed by Burnout 3 Takedown. Got a PlayStation 2 bundle with both of those games for Christmas as a kid.

Yeah exactly you’re right, why overcomplicate the problem like the Reddit comment did? I guess that’s just typical Reddit thinking that being pendantic and using lots of fancy words and long explanations makes you smart.

The .opus audio format. People need to stop ripping everything to MP3, it’s inefficient and a flawed compression format. Opus is better than it and AAC.

It’s an American obsession.

Are you just going to pretend that there is no racism anywhere else? It was the Europeans that colonised half the planet and invented the concept of “whiteness”, and proceeded to divide and carve Africa up. Are you just going to pretend that this action has had no influence on modern European ideas around race and class? And I haven’t even mentioned the Roma people. Or the ongoing genocide in Palestine, which has a racial component. Or the rise of Hinduistic fascism in India. Or the issues around race in my own country in South Africa. Racism is a global issue.

Personally I see most of these prejudicial issues being an exclusively American problem that has been exported abroad

Have you forgotten who colonised most of the world, including America? This is in no way an American centric issue. Racism exists in most countries on earth.

A lot more tourism to Cuba from the US.

At home I have a set DML panel speakers set up in a 2.1 channel system with a subwoofer. The panels themselves are made of EPS polystyrene that has been sanded down and coated in wood glue, are about 1 meter tall, 30 centimetres wide and 2 centimetres thick (3 foot 3 inches tall, 1 foot wide and 4/5 inches thick) and have rounded edges and corners. Each panel has a Dayton Audio 10 watt exciter mounted to it on the location recommend on their website. The subwoofer is a ported down firing unit, which I have placed in the corner of the room for corner loading.

Yeah I am pretty concerned. I think if work from home or hybrid jobs start requiring devices similar to the apple vision pro, it will only further the divide between people that work from home and those that don’t, as well as increasing the barrier to entry to these jobs. Dividing the working class further.

Well it is a 20 year old study. Attitudes towards LGBT people were much less accepting back then. The participants in this study are now between the ages of 34-38 most likely. Probably a lot of people in the closet and keeping their relationships discreet or not having relationships, and some that haven’t realised that they’re gay yet.

If you did this study today, there would be a lot more gay sex, but probably less than we’d guess still. LGBT people are still a minority after all.

1 in 5 employers have had a recent college graduate bring a parent to a job interview

Who the hell does that? Even by highschool kids should be sorting out their life affairs independent of their parents.

Though the reason behind recent graduates getting looked over is simple. There are a lot of people on the job market with experience, especially in industries like tech with the tech bubble bursting (probably the worst time to graduate in tech is now), so recent graduates have to compete with experienced workers. And the experienced worker will win almost every time. Similar happened after 2008 to recent millenial graduates, it’s when the whole “millenials are lazy/immature” thing kicked off. It’s seems to be a cycle. In a decades time/when the next major global economic event takes place, experienced Gen Z workers will be getting all the job offers, and the next generation to graduate will get the short end of the stick.

So the millenial workers have had their spirits crushed, backs broken and expectations subverted to the point they’re considered “hard workers” now. I still remember when millenials were the ones considered lazy bums. Will only be another decade before gen Z become the “hard workers” and the next generation (I think it’s generation alpha) will be the “unreliable” ones. The cycle repeats infinitely under the current mode of production.

Commerical and enterprise software client side.

I feel this, used to drive a 70 horsepower car, overtaking on South African roads with that was a struggle.

TV On The Radio - Young Liars. The entire EP, or just the single with the same name from it, depending on my mood.

The single

The whole EP

This should be a popular opinion honestly, because it’s correct.

My mom bought me some for school because she figured out I couldn’t use normal scissors. I was also doing occupational therapy for some other child health issues so my parents were very attentivenat the time. This was during the mid 2000s.

Most scissors have a smaller top handle for your thumb, so when you flip it around, that small handle becomes the one the rest of your fingers are supposed to fit in, which makes it very difficult to use.

They’re the only ones I can use, I’ve tried to use normal scissors for my whole life and still can’t figure it out. Left handed scissors have the blades reversed.

I’m in my mid 20s and still can’t use normal scissors due to how left handed I am lmao. Left handed, left footed, left eye dominant. Even the left side of my face is more handsome 💀
