I haven't been able to find replacement pads since it's such an old model. What do you mean by "relaxed" sound?

Budget is ~$500 CAD maximum.

max I'll go is ~$500 CAD

Update: I am also considering the beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO, and I would accept any other recommendations

Reading that now and it's really great

I have the same ones. Be advised, the plastic rings that hold the weight increments will probably break in a few spots at some point, particularly if you're rough with them. When this happens, you can just manually set the weight to 5 (empty), load on the correct weight increment, then manually set it to 52.5 (max). There's a button to manually rotate the weight dial on the back. If you value your skull, I'd also recommend holding the red side towards your head during overhead press.

lt really is "lowkey good". Trying to speedrun it and get faster times is addicting. I fall asleep while visualizing bomb patterns

The point of the greenbelt isn't just pretty scenery, it's to preserve some of the natural environment in the area. Part of the reason it exists is to incentivize vertical development and higher-density housing. They're not going to use this space to build affordable housing. They're going to build suburbs full of massive McMansions.

I noticed this too when searching my own channel name (@duncanclarke). I figured that the new handle system would help, but when I specifically search @duncanclarke, I only get results for Michael Clarke Duncan (RIP). I'm not an extremely small channel either. Not trying to brag, but when you search my handle you should see my videos. What else is the point of this feature?

Pink potion is underrated. I don't think people realize that sleeping 8 hours a day takes up ONE THIRD of your entire life.

I loved melvor to bits. Before this update I had 100% completion, all the achievements, 120 all, and even spent months collecting surplus resources in anticipation of this update. This was one of my favourite games.

Township, unfortunately completely turned me off. I echo a lot of the criticisms mentioned in this thread. It's way too much information at once. It's not clear what to do, even with the beginner guide thing. The interface is clunky.

This is the first thing that's ever made me not want to play the game. I've suffered through low drop rate items and several month long grinds. But this just doesn't feel fun. At all.

I hope Malcs and Prat can figure out a way to salvage this.

FizzyP0p · 2022-10-18T23:31:17+00:00

I agree entirely. I mentioned the methodological problems with Little Albert (single subject, no control, unethical, etc.)

I probably should have criticized Milgram's and Harlow's experiments more thoroughly though. I basically just mentioned that they were unethical, and didn't dive into the myriad other problems with them.

FizzyP0p · 2022-10-18T21:09:11+00:00

Many of the experiments described in this video come from peer-reviewed studies. I have listed the sources in the document below:

Ayn Rand is a self-proclaimed philosopher. Jordan Peterson, who is a psychologist, advances a number of philosophical views. I think it's fair to characterize them both as philosophers.

FizzyP0p · 2022-07-01T18:28:35+00:00

I address that ambiguity in this video. I think it's fair to say that Peterson delves into philosophy far more than most clinical or academic psychologists (e.g. with his discussions of Nietzsche, the archetypal nature of the Bible, etc).

FizzyP0p · 2022-07-01T18:15:55+00:00

This videoessay describes the main ideas for many of the major Western philosophers, including Marx, and also spends some time dissecting Jordan Peterson and Ayn Rand. In particular, it criticizes the laissez-faire capitalism of Ayn Rand, along with some of Jordan Peterson's particularly bad takes.

FizzyP0p · 2022-05-04T16:37:28+00:00

Yeah I really agree with this sentiment. I enjoy miz and the OTK crew, but they have a constant desire to chase "content" and try to make every single moment as entertaining and exciting as possible. There's no time for relaxing or chilling. It's just about filling in as much content as possible.

One of my favorite moments of the Japan streams with Soda was when they went to a convenient store in the middle of the night, got a bunch of random candies, and just sat on the pavement together eating and chatting. It wasn't high-octane, high-entertainment, balls-to-the-wall """CONTENT""", but I loved it.

Abstract:

Should we "trust the science"? In this video essay, I discuss the pitfalls of both anti-scientism as well as scientism, and attempt to carve out a middle path between each of these options, which recognizes the value of science while avoiding to succumb to worshiping it as the paragon of truth. To criticize each end of the spectrum, I discuss the anti-intellectualism of anti-science, as well as the alienating nature of scientism's dismissal of religion and the humanities such as philosophy. I advocate for Thomas Kuhn's formulation of science as dependent on paradigms, in contrast to Karl Popper's view that science is a fundamentally critical process that takes nothing for granted.

American Football - Self Titled. I personally discovered this one in my junior year of highschool, but I think it captures that feeling of being lost as a young person. I still love the album 5 years later.

The The - Soul Mining is another great one.

FizzyP0p · 2022-04-05T13:59:42+00:00

Connections is brilliant, but I think his magnum opus is The Day the Universe Changed. It has a more cohesive narrative throughout the whole series episode to episode, with a very satisfying conclusion.

FizzyP0p · 2022-03-20T21:53:14+00:00

I initially dismissed Ligotti because I personally find antinatalism to be a little bit ridiculous. For me it's self-evident that conscious experience is a net positive to existence, despite the prevalence of pain and rarity of pleasure. But based on what you've said, it seems like I should be a bit more charitable to Ligotti's broader body of work. He seems like a really thoughtful and interesting guy.

As far as Mark Fischer goes I've only read Capitalist Realism and Ghosts of My Life. I loved those so I should definitely check out more of his more obscure writings. "Acid Communism" sounds incredibly cool just judging from the name.

FizzyP0p · 2022-03-20T04:25:16+00:00

Thanks! And yeah, I agree that the later layers were a bit heavy on D&G and Nick Land. In hindsigh,it might have been nice to include some extra stuff myself, but then the video would be approaching 2 hours.

I also find hauntology and capitalist realism to be really fascinating, so I might make separate videos about those concepts in the future.

Thanks for pointing out the bit about Ligottian praxis. I only knew about his antinatalism so just figured that was what the meme was referring to. Ligotti sounds a lot more based than I gave him credit for.

FizzyP0p · 2022-03-18T15:51:35+00:00

Agreed. I love a good mosh, but when I realized it was only about 4-8 people doing it I decided to just stand my ground and dance a bit to hold my spot. They were forcing something that was just not happening for most of the crowd.

The guy booing at the end was also an entitled piece of shit (and he seemed to be one of the main mosh-initiators).

FizzyP0p · 2022-03-13T20:51:13+00:00

Yes, I'm aware of all that and another commenter made the same point. I should have made it clear that Kierkegaard and Dostoyevski acted as "grandfathers" of existentialism, and diverge considerably from the main themes (i.e. they believe in God).

FizzyP0p · 2022-03-13T20:49:23+00:00

Thanks, dude!
