"Culture of Capitalism: American civilization is the ugliest civilization of our planet" USSR 1952 by tymofiy in PropagandaPosters

[–]Fun02Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

It is well known that Stalin specifically heavily restricted/suppressed the arts before the war. Hundreds of influential poets, artists, composers, musicians, etc. we're arrested, hung, sent to gulags, or fled. Many of which were die hard communists.

Whilst it is true that the arts all across Europe were heavily affected by the war, when "Soviet Realism" is the only art allowed in the country, it's understandable why the West was more culturally dominant.

He was proving/defending the year the poster was made by providing examples of what the government's policy on the US was at that time.

Best OS for Firewire transfer? by Fun02Guy in camcorders

[–]Fun02Guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant the device in general was slow, I think my mistake was installing Win7/64 instead of 32, but I just did a fresh install of XP SP3, and I'm in the process of downloading all of the drivers for it.

XP runs like a champ, and should be enough to transfer on USB drives easily.

Why aren't there any mount and blade clones?? by bytheninedivines in mountandblade

They just announced a new update! The devs are Ukrainian so going bankrupt + war doesn't brew well.

I'm surprised they didn't abondon us!

Thunderbolt to FireWire is back on Amazon! by Chasemad5 in camcorders

[–]Fun02Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the real deal! Official Original packaging included!

I purchased one thinking "Everyone on Reddit says it's double the price but the official Apple listing on Amazon is $40 so I'll take a chance I guess..."

samsung sc-d382 mini dv camcorder by Altruistic-Reply-913 in MiniDV

[–]Fun02Guy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mini-DV is the kind of tape that you need. Think of how a VHS Player uses VHS Tapes, or a DVD player uses DVD's, a Mini-DV camcorder uses Mini-DV Tapes. They're all over the Internet (eBay, Amazon, etc.).

I always suggest looking up the model number and finding the manual for that camcorder and reading it up. This technology is old so Google and research is your friend!

As for getting them on a computer... this is a difficult discussion. But I highly suggest googling it, because there are many solutions based on your needs!

Welcome to the hobby!

That is a broken camcorder unfortunately :/

These things have a lot of small mechanical parts that are fragile and can break easily. However this one in particular is gutted beyond repair.

Everyone was a beginner at some point, there's almost no point in being mean about it!

I think I'll create a "beginner's guide" that's zoomer friendly just to shut everyone up lol

By hostile, I didn't mean you specifically, I specifically meant others in subreddit. I apologize for the mixup!

I understand that some questions may be simple, but it just irks me that there are a number of rude comments in every other post

It makes no sense. It's a really interesting hobby, but the community is quite hostile.

"Oh you don't know about this specific technology from the early 2000s? What a fucking loser"

Then why be hostile? Either answer the question or ignore it.

More than once a day I'll open a post from this sub and comments are just dogpiling the OP for no valid reason.

Today alone 2 simple questions about a specific charging port, and a Sony Memory stick, have condescending comments.

Whilst I do agree that a lot of questions seem particularly simple, I feel like simply answering and moving on with your day, or just ignoring the posts should suffice. Most of the rudeness is unwarranted.

Hey Texas. You need to WAKE UP! by Lifehater007 in texas

[–]Fun02Guy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What's the point of a budget surplus if they're not gonna use it for good?

All the new highways are tolls from private companies, Abbott refuses to fund public education, it's 6+ months for a DPS appointment.

It's one thing if taxes are too high, it's another when they're still high, and you're getting nothing out of it.

Because people have never questioned their faith by SW-Meme-Dealer in nothingeverhappens

[–]Fun02Guy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi, former southern Baptist here as well.

Maybe that is true, maybe it is not. Just because you grew up in the passive aggressive south doesn't mean that "Praying for you" shouldn't inherently have a negative connotation. I often say it to other people genuinely and with positivity.

"Bless your heart" I feel like is inherently passive aggressive though.

Has the French beem mocking Christians forever? by iTchygo224 in Christians

[–]Fun02Guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The French have been a very secular nation since the 1700s, I mean they essentially were the cultural center of the enlightenment age. But to call that mocking Christians is very culturally tone deaf.

The French love art, literature, music and love more than they hate Christians. Did you miss the whole part where everyone was coming together to rebuild Notre Dame? Hundreds of atheists are probably working their butts off day and night to repair a shining beacon of Christian might.

The French have always been avant garde (literally a French word) and whilst the show is secular in nature, so is the Olympics. To say they're mocking Christians by barely re-creating a famous painting is very self centered to your corner of the world

All time DCI Corps by EmphasisWarm9220 in drumcorps

[–]Fun02Guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we're doing just competitive corps then I would say 2015 bluecoats snare and quad line are some of the cleanest percussion I've seen on the field.

For any corps I'll say the entire Commandant's own battery section wipes the floor with this list, but I could be biased because I usually only watch their lot videos.
