  • Why does it feel like there is currently less new games, songs, YouTube videos, valuable articles and creations in general?

    Jump

  • They definitely do because my recommendations are squeaky clean 98% of the time and those buttons, along with not clicking on shit that I think will poison my feed are the main tools I use to keep things clean.

    One thing to keep in mind is that YT makes changes to their algorithm every once in a while. For me, that typically manifests as sports channels, especially the NFL, or political stuff making their way into my feed. A few clicks of those buttons and I'm back to normal.

  • The Not Interested and Don't Recommend Channel buttons work surprisingly well for this. I am very protective of my algorithm so I try to avoid videos that I think will open up the flood gates for shitty content but in the event that it does, a few choice clicks of those two buttons usually has things bavk under control pretty quick.

  • What's an unscientific opinion that you firmly hold?

    Jump

  • Safe speeds are not whatever speed is comfortable to drive a given street. Part of the posted limit is considering how much of a wrecking ball a vehicle would be if it suddenly left the road.

    The limits in suburbs where I live is 50km/h. The roads are wide enough to land a plane on and you could very easily drive most of them full throttle as they are flat and straight. With that in mind I still think it should be 30km/h.

    When I was a kid a car hit a snowbank and was launched straight into someone's living room not far from my house. If they were driving 30km/h, that nightmare scenario pretty much becomes an impossibility.

    We just need to stop making residential roads that look like drag strips. More curves, more trees close to the road, more speed bumps. I've driven in some places in Europe where it's very clear that it's unsafe to drive any faster than about 30 km/h due to roadside obstacles. I think that design is much safer than the NA standards.

  • What's an album with a completely unique sound

    Jump

  • You're telling me you can't get a hold of an HM-2 and a Peavey Rage 158 or a Bandit? Three of my friends had the Rage 158 as their first amp and you can just buy an HM-2 on Reverb if you don't know anyone that already owns one.

    People have recreated the LHP sound countless times. Entombed is not the only band to ever do it.

  • Pierced From Within didn't define the sound of Brutal Death Metal?

    Nattens Madrigal didn't innovate for Raw Black Metal?

    There's not a single record that sounds like Nihility does, nor does anything sound like Burial both in production and composition.

    This question is asking for subjective answers. There's no such thing as failure as you so kindly put it, only difference of opinion.

    Your suggestion that LHP is somehow more appropriate of a response ignores the fact that it did the exact same thing for Swedish DM as Suffocation did for BDM.

  • A beautifully written and produced record for sure.

  • Extol's "Burial". Very smooth sounding record considering its bordering on Technical Death Metal.

    Decapitated's "Nihility". I don't know if drums have ever sounded more violent, tonally.

    Suffocation's "Pierced From Within". Unique in that IMO that level of brutality and density has still never been matched.

    Ulver's "Nattens Madrigal". Bees in a tin can.

    Literally anything by Ad Nauseum.

    Man, I could go on and on about this. So many metal records have one of a kind production.

  • Quite nicely, actually. Thanks for asking.

  • You are the fourth Wise Man that nobody talks about. What did you attempt to bring the baby Jesus that they cut you out of all the stories?

    Jump

  • Their first few records are the best IMO. Their debut is absolutely killer.

    Lots of good music came out of that scene in the early 90's. If you go to metal archives and search for the band, their band page will have a Similar Artists list you can check out as well!

  • Linus vs Linus

    Jump

  • I do think Linus should be held to a higher standard than the average joe, but yeah. IMO he should have done his due diligence to do things right. It was just very low effort for a guy whose professional life revolves around tech.

    Some people go way too far with lambasting him though.

  • Linus vs Linus

    Jump

  • What's notable though is Linus' experience is likely to be very typical of an average non-technical Windows user's experience when it comes to dealing with problems.

    To seemingly lose the ability to read when an error occurs and then just try and slam it through regardless instead of pumping the brakes and asking for help is all too common.

    Is it weird that i talk to my pets more articulately than i sometimes talk to actual people?

    Jump

  • You're not alone. I have very detailed convos with my cats all the time. I think its easier because you can say whatever you want and they won't judge.

    It's almost like its own little mini catharsis sometimes.

  • If I didn't have blood pressure issues, there is no way in hell I would subject myself to that BS 5/7 days of the week

    You shouldn't necessarily ever expect to enjoy doing something that you're essentially forced to do. The gym is kinda like work for you so its perfectly reasonable that you hate it.

    I love playing guitar and working on music but if I was ever forced to do it daily I would start hating it real quick. This is why I avoid monetization routes for my music that would require adhering to a routine.

    When it comes to the gym, I've certainly gotten well into it to the point that it feels weird not to go. Same with running, but even more potent. I'd actually be in a shit mood if I had to skip a scheduled run for some reason.

    Its a real bummer that you're struggling to enjoy the gym, but I totally understand where you're coming from. Life is busy and sometimes all that I have the bandwidth for is a beer on the couch after work. We all have our limits and that's OK.

    Glad to hear you're pushing through it for the sake of your health. There's likely no better reason to hit the gym. 💪
