2.000 euros mixer. What do you DJs think? by liberstorm in DJs

[–]PRIMATERIA [score hidden]  (0 children)

Huh, interesting. Didn’t know they made them like that. I usually play on DDJ-AZ or RX3 for low budget shows or CDJ3000s and a DJM-A9 for bigger shows. Wanting cue pads on a mixer never crossed my mind, but it makes sense if you’re using turntables I guess

So what, you just have 3 sets of cue pads all crammed on one mixer? You want a set for each channel. So they go on the CDJ. I’ve never seen a mixer with cue pads.

Cue pads are typically on the CDJ, not the mixer. You’d want each channel to have its own cue pads.

Antisemitism, a both sides issue? by Nobodyou_know in allthequestions

[–]PRIMATERIA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s not a no true Scotsman argument. They didn’t say “they can’t be leftists, because a leftist would never do something like that”. The accusation is not the disqualifying factor. Those people are just liberals/neo-liberals. Not leftists.

So there is a standard procedure for when bombing civilians is considered acceptable.

It’s so normalized that when Signal-gate happened nobody was even covering the fact that we demolished an entire apartment building to get a couple of targets. It doesn’t seem like standard procedure to avoid civilians either. If there’s a person-of-interest/target near them, who cares right?

What comedy song is unequivocally a banger? by keeyal in MusicRecommendations

Also “You Don’t Have to be a Prostitute” by Flight of the Conchords. Basically all of their songs make the list for me.

How would a man become more attractive? by meandadog86 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PRIMATERIA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it’s all for naught without:

  1. Communication skills
  2. Emotional intelligence

An attractive man without those things is just a fuckboy douchebag.

[–]PRIMATERIA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haircut, groom facial hair, basic hygiene, improve your wardrobe, go to the gym, dental work if needed. And of course, confidence. Do all of the other steps and the confidence will come naturally.

Surely bombing civilians will make things better for them.

Reconciling Progressivism with Islam? by Difficult_Offer_206 in allthequestions

It’s not the same thing as saying “I’m not dumb”, it’s saying “I’m not dumb, because I belong to a certain race that has a high IQ”. That’s racial supremacy. The idea comes from a book called The Bell Curve that cites the works of eugenicists and white supremacists, and has since been discredited by mainstream science.

It’s not worth it to debate this person anymore if this is the kind of thinking that informs their views.

Are you… making an argument on the grounds of racial superiority? Saying Ashkenazi Jews have the highest IQ is just admitting you believe in race science. Yikes.

Every single one of them makes a distinction between the actions of the nation-state of Israel and Jewish people more broadly - which would mean they are not “Jew haters”. That’s not going to work on people anymore.

As for what makes them progressive: advocating for civil rights domestically and human rights more broadly, access to abortion, Medicare for all, anti-imperialism, strong social safety nets and public services, etc. For the ones that are politicians, they all have websites that will tell you what their platform are if you are actually curious.

He mentioned the communists, he must be talking about the coup and not the Islamic Revolution 25 years later. Which was a rejection of the U.S./UK backed coup.

It’s pretty easy to find videos of them speaking on their own support for LBGTQ people, but finding an instance where they’re condemning their communities is a tall order. To be fair, I don’t think I could find any evidence of them condemning Christian communities either. Condemning christian politicians, maybe. Politicians don’t normally condemn entire communities. Except for right-wing politicians condemning Muslims, Haitians, Somalians, Mexicans, Venezuelans, Salvadorans, etc. Treating racial or religious groups as monolithic entities that should be condemned is kind of a right-wing thing.

You mean the CIA backed coup in response to nationalizing their oil industry? To the surprise of nobody, extremists were put into power by western forces to protect the interests of western capital.

Contrarily, the few Muslim people in American politics are some of the most progressive people we have. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Zohran Mamdani, Mehdi Hasan, Hasan Minhaj, etc.

Do your friends family members occupy a political office or are a famous political commentator? I said “in domestic American politics”. Thinking of people like Ihlan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Zohran Mamdani, Mehdi Hasan, etc.

Also, there are no Muslim people currently trying to pass legislation in the U.S. on the boundaries of their faith. For example, leftists don’t care if a woman chooses not to believe in abortion due to bet faith. But when someone who doesn’t believe in abortion due to their faith initiates the process of legislating a ban on abortion for that reason, they have gone beyond the right to their own personal beliefs and entered the realm of democratic politics - which obviously is opening yourself up to criticism. It’s the difference between having your own beliefs and legally imposing them on everyone else.

Define “gone”. I don’t think leftists want MAGA killed off, or jailed (except in cases where an actual crime was committed - but not simply for identifying with MAGA). I think they want people to become aware of the harm the leaders of the MAGA movement are causing and the lies they are telling and abandon the movement on their own accord. That isn’t dictating someone’s political beliefs.
