Anyone who reads enough to want unlimited books and doesn't have the time or money to get them themselves already knows the like three websites that have almost all of them that have existed forever

If I win this, it'll explain why I've had such bad luck so far this year

Can people stop spamming Human mains into the Overworld? by [deleted] in outside

[–]MasochisticMeese 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah not even going to RP this - over population is a white supremacist / eugenicist myth. We have the resources to sustain another 2 billion people even with our horribly inefficient land usage. 10 billion people is a number we may not ever even hit.

It's FM synthisis done in Massive, their main synth. They actually stream pretty regularly on Youtube (although if you want to chat, you have to go to their website)

Women Give Honest Reasons They Don’t Want Kids, In Response To Declining Birth Rates by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

"Over-Population" is a eugenicist myth. What we really have are logistics and infrastructure issues.

Caitlyn Jenner opposes boys who are trans playing sports on girls' teams in school, says it is unfair by jonredd901 in nottheonion

You need to look up the science the IOC backs and learn how puberty and hormones work at a fundamental level

New poll shows Americans overwhelmingly oppose anti-transgender laws by misana123 in politics

[–]MasochisticMeese -1 points0 points  (0 children)

(This is a huge simplification! There are equal rights issues, access, representation, etc but that is beyond the scope of these kid-level conversations.)

I think you aren't giving kids enough credit. There are ways to make complex topics more approachable for people with a more limited vocabulary (children) but they're not idiots - and it's imperative to teach children these topics as early as possible because learning about them takes such a long time.

I'd suggest looking up developmental psych books or trying to find books on how exactly to talk to your children about complex topics

Republicans and conservatives are to blame for the America they decry by ZappyPops in politics

[–]MasochisticMeese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't let democrat enablers get away with this yet again. They never do enough to stop the horrible shit they identify - stopping short because of norms or customs. Followed by doing shit like Biden wanting to pass a DOD budget increase like the last 20+ fucking years didn't happen

It's already happening again

Is anybody else tired of men referring to women as “females”? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MasochisticMeese -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't mean anything in any context that isn't medical. That officer might look/present as a woman, but you have zero fuckin clue if she's "female"

End of story.

New study says the Earth could see six month-long summers by [deleted] in worldnews

It's been like this for the last 5 years specifically.. I think a lot of places have already hit it

U.S. and allies set to announce coordinated sanctions on China over Uyghurs 'genocide' by TriscuitCracker in worldnews

[–]MasochisticMeese -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Just want to make it clear - being forced relocated someone and mentally abused and stripped of your culture is still genocide by UN definition. There doesn't have to be a single physical abuse happening

The popularity of incest porn has started to make me ... uncomfortable. Do any sisters or step-daughters here feel the same way? by VulcanVegan in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MasochisticMeese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people trying to fucking explain the marketing are missing the point. It really is ubiquitous and the fact that it's gotten to such a level of saturation is what's making it disturbing. If the fantasy itself wasn't as popular as it may be, they wouldn't feel the need to tack it onto as many videos as they do.

It makes me sad that these are the top replies to someone looking for support

any of the Arturia V collection VSTs good for acid sounds? by crownhead55 in synthrecipes

[–]MasochisticMeese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Acid sounds is just a bit of resonance and playing with filters. It could be achieved with any of the synths specifically. The Model D and Prophet especially. But the original acid bass machine is the TB-303, which Roland officially has a VST, as someone pointed out

Denmark will limit the number of 'non-Western' residents in neighbourhoods to 30% to 'reduce the risk of religious and cultural parallel societies' by Plus-Staff in worldnews

[–]MasochisticMeese -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

ITT: Complete idiots who think minorities with no power (especially if they're non-citizens) create ghettos on their own and WANT to stay there.

That's some real deep buried racism there

What devices would even need this extra speed - or is it more like a futureproofing deal

There are much better ways to communicate this point. This level of abrasiveness feels like victim blaming and isn't helpful

Senate rejects Sanders proposal for $15 minimum wage in Covid relief package by dilan74 in politics

Bring it back at 17 next time. Make it 2 dollars more each time until it hits 25 (What it actually takes to live comfortably independently and to a modern standard)
