  • How do you decide what to buy online without being basically scammed?

  • Oftentimes, and I hate to say it, I look on reddit, for all the reasons you just described. I'm not saying it's a perfect method, but these days I find myself looking on there for anything based around opinion - such as the quality of certain devices. It seems the fastest route to find opinions of real people. And besides with how pretentious most reddit users are, they have a tendency to OVER recommend (for example suggesting anything less then the best is dog water and shouldn't even be considered, a rare benefit).

    You just have to learn to see through the occasional bot post but it is usually pretty obvious, at least moreso then the endless crap on the, as you put it, hellscape.

  • How much do you care about music?

    Jump

  • One of my main hobbies. Not just that, but my method of dealing with emotions, focusing, working effectively, expressing myself, preventing boredom, taking my mind off the world, bringing me up when I feel down, it's my main source of enjoyment, main source of happiness, my culture, my community. I enjoy learning about it, absorbing content, creating it, playing it. I even mod two communities here and post to other peoples'.

    So yeah, it's pretty much my entire life at this point. Wouldn't be here without it. I probably spend more time awake, listening to music, then not. And when I'm not, I permanently have a song playing in my head.

    To answer your question about devices, I like to listen through devices that allow me to get as close to the way the artist intended it, as possible. Whether it be good-quality peripherals, listening digitally or listening to vinyl.

    The irony is, a lot of music I gravitate towards has many imperfections, which to me, is what makes it human, real, and ALIVE. It is far more powerful at conveying true emotion and is thus more meaningful. So even when listening to music which was poorly recorded to begin with, I still prefer listening through good quality speakers for example, because it is more true to the original sound.

  • Why is hatred/dehumanization of the working class so prominent in the UK, when about 60% of the UK population is working class?

  • Modern day wannabe-gangster tracksuit wearer. Causing trouble, giving other people a hard time cus it makes em feel bigger. Who the fuck is Owen Jones anyway?

    Where are you from anyway?

    EDIT: you're either not from the UK, not working class, trolling, or just OPs alt account.

  • Not this again... Chav isn't a fucking slur, if you think it is, then you aren't using it right.

  • Why do some people have so many browser tabs open?

    Jump

  • Fair enough, for that purpose I use either an actual list, or bookmarks.

    Son wants me to take him to a strip club for his birthday. Thoughts?

    Jump

  • Then I say, go for it, yknow, you only live once. Provided you talk about it first, and understand what to expect, and make sure you are BOTH comfortable with it.

    Jump

  • I guess it depends if YOU would be comfortable with it. Me personally I would find it a bit awkward to go to a place like that with a close family member. And I'm not sure he will make many worthwhile friendships there haha. Then again, what do I know, I don't really have friends either...

    I mean if you are both okay with the idea, then go for it, but it also depends on what kind of example you want to set for him. It will probably help him come (heh) out of his shell a little, but if he doesn't have much social experience, well I guess just think about what kind of behaviours you might inadvertently breed, especially if he is lonely, it could make him feel worse.

    E.g. lonely teen who believes he has no chance with women, starts hanging around places like that. I'm not sure whether it would help things or make them worse. But I don't know your son, so that's a judgement call for you to make really.

  • What's your favorite recreational drug and why?

  • Whats a band/artist who's music all sounds the same?

    Jump

  • Yeah I can't deny that.

  • To some degree, Goatwhore. Love the band, and this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I can never remember song titles of theirs, because they are all a bit OTT tbh.

  • Went with .world, due to the growing userbase at the time, I had a feeling it would be around to stay. We can worry about avoiding slight centralisation once we have a somewhat significant number of lemmy users.

    Is it common for family members to spy on each other's sexual behavior to find evidence of "degeneracy"? Or did I grow up in hell?

    Jump

  • That sounds pretty fucked tbh.

  • Of course they exist, ya dummie! I'm working class and they definitely exist.
