  • The fuck you talking about.

    The complaint is “phones don’t have headphones jacks”

    Presuming I was on your side,

    Just insert this adapter into the 3.5mm jack and it will be blocked for you. It’ll no longer be wasted space because this adapter is a useful place to store several grains of rice for a snack.

    Homie, you got rice storage with the old jacks. An adapter doesn’t introduce this problem.

    Unfortunately you do lose a feature as a result of using this adapter, it will stop one of the speakers from working and degrade your audio quality.

    Homie, this is how headphones work. You plug them in and the speakers stop working. If your audio quality is dropping something is wrong.

    But you shouldn’t complain about anything removing a feature, or degrading your audio quality. You’ve got a new feature of being able to store rice!

    Homie, again the data jack on USB C is more than fast enough to push FLAC through. If you’re losing quality it’s not the architecture.

    You can even buy special fairphone sustainable rice from us. With only a small 300% mark up but an incredible 80% of the sustainability of already available rice. It comes in green!

    This is you projecting. While this is on an article about fair phone, I’m only here to inform you that your nonsense complaint about 3.5 mm jacks is silly. It is valid, sure, but fucking silly anyways.







  • I think you’re making assumptions that aren’t fair but maybe aren’t obvious either. Honestly I’m only thinking about this because I just watched the contrapoints video on twilight, and so I’ll use her example, though she’s talking about a slightly different topic. Gonna paraphrase like a mofo:

    Weird Power dynamics between partners in a fantasy, like twilight, or say porn since we are being obvious here, is normal because self image often requires women to present one way while hiding their desires for sex. It’s absolution of a sort, and is ostensibly healthy to explore in this way. That said… Some examples such as race play in fantasies may dehumanize the “other” in super not cool ways and reinforce negative racial stereotypes.

    If we take that and extend it to pedophiles, normalization of the thought process leading to that sort of disfunction/disorder seems like a not great thing, but yeah, we’d need to study to learn more and that seems both difficult and likely undesirable for the researchers.



  • This is a really solid writeup. L’Enfant Sauvage is a banger front to back. Of particular note for me are Explosia, L’enfant Sauvage, and Gift of Guilt.

    Magma feels really good too. Silvera and Stranded are the standard picks, but Magma and Low Lands are worth checking.

    Fortitude… Born for One Thing starts it off nicely, but Amazonia just bugs the shit out of me to the point that everything that follows sounds bad. I have listened once with that song blocked, and I enjoyed it much more, but not enough to give more info.
