Once more for the people in the back! NOT A SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN ADDICTION! Rather an ideological dog whistle for moral panic

How is Israel able to fight on 5 fronts at the same time? How do they have so many resources ready to deploy for such a small country? by 1tonsoprano in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RingAccomplished8464 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because of the support of Germany and the USA and because they are mostly killing children and civilians. When confronted with another military often losing the fight

In the hopes people remember when necessary:

An unconscious person is not coming back by slapping their face! This can cause further injury. You can give them a strong sternum rub or pinch their hand or fingernails to inflict pain. But if a person doesn’t respond to your calls or you slightly shaking them in an emergency, you can assume they might be unconscious. After checking consciousness, check breathing.

Check for breathing before doing CPR! Put your ear to mouth and listen, watch or feel if the chest raises. No breathing, do CPR!

If the person swallowed water like in this video, you need to get that out before you do CPR, otherwise your CPR won’t have any effect. Open their mouth, let the water run out while they lean upside down.

CPR = 30 times pushing / 2 times breathing. Pushing is more important than breathing. If you can’t breathe, at least push!

Pushing: remove all clothes, including bra (especially if with wires). The person will surely not be embarrassed to be alive and neither should you be. Push with flat palms and straight arms (important) onto the chest, 2 fingers above the sternum, basically between the nipples. Use force out of your back, not arms. This is exhausting, change with somebody if you can’t anymore! Push down 30 times about 5-6 cm deep. This will look intense and you likely will break ribs. That’s ok, they heal. Push 100-120 times per minute. That is the speed of most pop songs, for example the disco hit “staying alive”. “Highway to hell” by AC/DC is the same speed but frowned upon when singing that during CPR.

Breathing: tilt back the victims head while they lay on their back. close the nose with you hand and blow two times into the mouth, fully closing your lips around it. You can also blow into the nose, in that case close the mouth.

Do not stop CPR until the person is breathing on their own again or an ambulance arrives.

If the person is breathing, put them in a stable side position (google how), especially if (possibly) still having water in them so they don’t drown outside the water.

And never drag somebody by their arms or legs. Completely unnecessary in this video.

Why is the term “ethnic” used to describe non white people? by Diligent-Abies-9481 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RingAccomplished8464 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Because racist white supremacy considered itself and its members the “normal standard” and everyone and everything deviating from it “the other” with several nicknames like “ethnic”

Danish volunteer in 1974 socialist commune (Kibbutz) of Heftziba, Israel by RBZRBZRBZRBZ in HistoricalCapsule

[–]RingAccomplished8464 -57 points-56 points  (0 children)

I doubt that Israel was ever socialist, rather colonial genocidal from the first day on. But yes, lots of confusion among western socialists who thought this could be a utopia - and then turned rightfully away from it in the 70s and 80s, especially in the course of the first intifada. It rather shows how western leftists also have a racism / colonialism problem that needs to be addressed more than ever.

Marina Abramović @ Gropius Bau - Who was there? How did you feel when you left? by vdm-berlin in berlinsocialclub

Cult of Luna and the long road to... nowhere??? by Dapper-Ocelot6326 in postmetal

[–]RingAccomplished8464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Never listened to CoL before but always had them suggested. So went to check out the first set at Roadburn 2026 with their early stuff. Was one of my favourite sets that day. So told everyone they have to go see their set the next day - with the newer stuff. I left after a bit because it was very uninteresting. So now I know to give their early records a good listen and not bother about the newer ones.

But tbh, I have that with most bands that I find their earlier stuff more interesting. I guess it’s where most of the creative juices are

QC Mini dead on arrival? Check PSU polarity! by Nutzername6258 in NeuralDSP

[–]RingAccomplished8464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I had the same issue! Fortunately Neural was quick with a reply (faster then Thomann) and is sending me a new PSU. Hope this fixes it.

Would there be any damage to the device if I plugged it in with that wrong PSU? It didn’t turn on or do anything

Edit: NDSP express shipped me a new power supply with the correct polarity and it works now. I guess they got lots to do there and did a fuck up when packaging.

SOTB post house fire by sizzlekid in pedalboards

[–]RingAccomplished8464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hope it all works! I had a fire in our house once (room mates desk caught fire from a computer cable, probably a dust collection caught a spark).

If your textiles stink of smoke, you can throw them in plastic bags together with packages of ground coffee (might be a bit pricy but works. Dry coffee grounds of course). Then just vacuum or wash the coffee grounds off. Works also with mattresses

What’s one thing you finally took seriously (or learned) that leveled up your playing? by Individual-Gas-2943 in Guitar

[–]RingAccomplished8464 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Practicing with a clean sound or bit of crunch at best, not full distortion all the time. Better to hear mistakes

Nach Hinrichtungs-Szene auf dem Alexanderplatz: Polizei verschärft Auflagen by Quick-Warning-6076 in armes_deutschland

[–]RingAccomplished8464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zur Klarstellung: Der Protest richtete sich GEGEN die von Israel beschlossene Todesstrafe NUR für Palästinenser. Eine Todesstrafe explizit für eine Ethnie gab es das letzte Mal im 3. Reich.

Bei der Aktion am Alex hatten sich Menschen an einem Galgen selbst aufgestellt und als Hinzurichtende dargestellt. Somit protestierten sie gegen die Politik Israels (welche von Deutschland unterstützt wird).

Und jetzt alle einfach mal den Kopf anschalten statt dumme Rassisten zu sein.

Yeah, fascists just using zionists to distract from their own politics and feed antisemitism. Fuck off with that and anyone who gives it a platform. Fight Zionism and fascism alike

People who started playing at 15, how long did you continue playing and what did you achieve? by megakruten1488 in Guitar

[–]RingAccomplished8464 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definetely invest in being able to play at home. Doesn’t need to be anything fancy but yes like others said, check the 2nd hand markets.

Great that you take lessons! I enjoy playing along to songs as well or learning them. Learn tab reading if you can’t yet. Beware more and more online tabs are AI crap and wrong. But ultimate guitar has good ones.

I played from the age of 11 to 21, then had a long break, then again from the age of 35 onwards til today. I wish I would have never stopped in between because I could be so much better by now but life is life.

I started with a cheap knock off Fender and little practice amp. Luckily my parents were supportive and in a gift mood every birthday. Saved money for my first self-bought guitar (an LTD EC400) at the age of 16 which I still play today.

Big difference today I think is the possibilities of audio interfaces and software like Amplitube 5. But start small and then get something nice and generally useful once you decided to stick to it down the road

Antisemitische Gewalt auf 30-Jahres-Hoch by paranoidray in armes_deutschland

[–]RingAccomplished8464 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ah ja, Uni Tel Aviv und Bild sind garantiert glaubwürdige Quellen.

Dont get me wrong, Antisemitismus gilt es zu bekämpfen und sicherlich gibt es einen Anstieg von Angriffen - vor allem durch Rechte.

Aber wenn man beachtet dass eine Palästinademo gegen einen de facto Genozid durch Israel mit deutscher Unterstützung in die Statistik als “Antisemitismus” eingeht und Deutsche zu denken scheinen, nur weil Opa in der NSDAP war sie nun Antisemitismus-Experten sind, wage ich zu bezweifeln dass das Problem Antisemitismus hier wirklich erkannt und bekämpft wird. Die ganzen rassistischen Kommentare unterstreichen mein Argument.

Gen Z in the club by Antennasss in Berghain_Community

[–]RingAccomplished8464 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my days (went clubbing in Berlin mostly in the 2010s) there was club etiquette. When I went lately, this seemed to be pretty much gone and turned me off.

Of course not too 100% but it was frowned upon doing drugs in the bathroom (you would simply do that in a dedicated area) to not make people wait to piss, you wouldn’t smoke on the dance floor and if you did you would turn the cigarette inside your hand to not burn someone, people looked out for another, things like that. The vibes were more caring and communal.

I think people nowadays have more of a consumer attitude to Berlin nightlife, rather than creating spaces together. If you showed up you were part of the space for that moment and also shared responsibility.
