While Lemmy might be getting a larger variety of personalities, some of them being jerks, I still find it a far more pleasant place to be than reddit.

Caudasity

let’s make it one. White Smart: the lower bar that white men have to get over to be considered smart compared to non-whites and women.

35 years since then for me. I couldn’t do it now for sure.

Unfortunately too many of my engineering school classmates have become hate filled old white magats. The ability to solved diffy Qs doesn’t related to empathy or morality.

No but I am old.

I would disagree since getting a speaker with a “good” 10 or 12 inch driver is difficult or very expensive and impractical since those large drivers don’t do well with mids and upper mids. The Tannoy, Klipsch heritage line, and similar old school designs with large drivers all measure like crap.

My Revel F208 speakers don’t really need a subwoofer for music but having a 12 inch 500 watt subwoofer to support them for movies does add to the dramatic impact. My apartment neighbors haven’t complained so I assume they are enjoying the music and movies too.

That’s a rabbit hole I managed to avoid. I lived in Shanghai in the 00’s when you could still get nice counterfeit mechanical watches there. Then I got a nice Seiko mechanical watch but no matter what I did, I just didn’t love the auto-winding function. Then came the solar watches from Seiko and Citizen which were relatively cheap. Now I’m here with a smart watch and never looking back.

Edit: also an engineer.

D or G because those both can grow coffee.

Tough call though.

D is lots of different Chinese regional dishes (Shanghai style, south China styles, Xi’an Muslim styles, and all the different dumplings); all the great Japanese food, Vietnamese food, Thai food, Indian food, Aussie and New Zealand wines, Aussie steaks, New Zealand lamb, Malay, Indonesian dishes, Cebu BBQ, plus Lebanese and Persian food. That is a lot of variety.

G gets you New Orleans dishes, California wine, Cali tacos, Tex Mex, southeastern USA BBQ, Low Country Boil, Mexican food, Caribbean food, central American, chocolate, and I am guessing Hawaiian dishes.

And now I’m hungry.

Bullshit

Was it this clown or Ben Shapiro that publicly made statements that would imply they never satisfied their partner? Though both likely failed.

I believe he made that brilliant statement in 2022. Something about Empathy being woke and a modern liberal creation.

Fair enough.

Sucks for his wife and kid(s) but otherwise nothing of value was lost. He made his silver spewing hate and oppression.

Loony techno-fascist going openly cult fan is an interesting move.

Start talking about The Spanish Inquisition. Nobody ever expects that.

Even Max Klinger is technically eligible.

The Zuck is just another techno fascist

Enterprise has been good.
