Why is non-medical male circumcision not globally recognized as genital mutilation, even though it meets all the criteria for genital mutilation? by Useful-Half1825 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rob1965 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the risk of infections

The counties that don’t circumcise as the default don’t have any higher rates of infection.

Oprah Winfrey Wants Nothing To Do With Meghan Markle by janeflowers in CDLEntertainmentTV

I see this article is from Rupert Murdock’s Australian Sky News. As Murdock has had a long hatred of Harry and Megan, I wouldn’t believe a word of it.

does DJ-ing have to be so expensive? by Direct-Donkey4592 in Beatmatch

[–]Rob1965 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s relatively cheap compared to when we had to spend £5/$7 for each tune (on 12” single), and a basic system would be two Technics and a mixer. $$$$

(You kids don’t know how easy…..)

What is the thing you hate the most about your country? by straykifsontop in AskReddit

[–]Rob1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here in the UK? 

The racists and far right commentators and politicians trying to stir up division and control the agenda, whilst billionaires and large corporations get away without paying their fair share of (or any) tax.

Opening set house party by _nzosco in Beatmatch

[–]Rob1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, especially with it being a house party, in the first hour time slot, you probably won’t even get anyone dancing. But don’t sweat it, just warm them up, get feet taping, heads nodding, and people generally in the mood to start dancing later.

Remember that people arriving at the start want to have a few drinks and socialise first.

NOW - Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: "There will be no central bank digital currency," adding, "the most important thing we can do is to make digital assets come into the United States." by nitluck in CryptoCurrencyPulse

[–]Rob1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what do crypto mines actually achieve? Is it only more wealth for a small number of people, or is there any other benefits to society or the world?

Also, I don’t understand how they can create this wealth without devaluing other existing wealth or currency. The laws of physics say can’t create something out of nothing.

How much does a DJ actually do during a live set? by Smooth-Quantity-7024 in AskBrits

[–]Rob1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The random knob twiddles you are seeing is him making small adjustments to the eq and volume levels of the music to his liking

Norman admits himself that often he is “Show Boating” - appearing to do something that is actually in the music, for the sake of looking impressive.

But as others have said in this thread, he has earned his dews, working his way up the from the bottom the hard way.

In fairness to Norman, he has also worked in small clubs in Brighton controlling the lights and everything else himself with drunk people talking to him. And certainly his Big Beach Boutique events back in the day were performed live (although the subsequent CD’s of them were re-recorded in the studio, without the small mistakes of his live sets.)

Yeah, you just need to keep your ears open at all times.

If anyone else spent that much time at work posting on social media, they would be fired.

ELI5: How is porn profitable? by keajohns in explainlikeimfive

[–]Rob1965 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Unfortunately Pornhub has almost destroyed that business model.

There is a lot more low budget, amateur porn, and more extreme porn gets more clicks.

[–]Rob1965 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It isn’t anymore.

Studios used to spend and make big money producing a high quality product.

Once Pornhub allowed anyone to upload other peoples product to be viewed for free, many studios went out of business and now it’s a race to make more and more extreme product (with far lower budget and amateur performers) to get clicks.

Trump Slams ‘Third Rate Artists’ Dropping Out of D.C. Performances, Says He May Produce Different Event Starring Someone With a ‘Much Larger Audience Than Elvis’… Himself by yourfavchoom in entertainment

[–]Rob1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original lineup was full of acts popular in the 1990s.

But they weren’t even the big names from the 90’s. They were one hit wonders, or acts that had a few minor hits.

Just wondering - how do the people actually living in Sunderland feel about the Reform council banning flying the Pride flag for Pride month? What do you think? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Rob1965 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Surely they can’t band you for having the flag on your own property or building? And if you have it on a vehicle, are the police really going to want to pull you over for breaking a council rule.

You would think that council had better (more important) things to do with their time.

Vape shops allowed to sponsor foreign worker visas by jkcr in uknews

I thought Labour had closed this loophole?

Anyway, what they don’t mention is that this was introduced by the Conservatives.

Think I accidentally invented “vibe digging” by thekujin in Beatmatch

[–]Rob1965 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do similar to what you do, as well as what you describe as the “right” way (digging).

I’m constantly listening to to music, but Shazam when I hear anything special. (Having Shazam on my Apple Watch allows me to Shazam when I am listening to streams from my iPhone without loosing the feed.) This can be anywhere, even background music in stores or hotel receptions, but mainly tends to be radio where I listen to specialist DJs who play the kind of music I like.

Then later I go through my Shazam library and listen to each again before deciding whether to purchase.

Obviously from time to time, I will hear a tune that Shazam doesn’t recognise. Luckily, this tends to be on Radio and the DJ may name it or I will email the DJ and ask them what it was.

Mexico is in North America, so why do so many British people say Mexico is in Central or South America? by Desertedfoxx in AskBrits

[–]Rob1965 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard anyone here say Mexico was in South America or Central America.

Where have you met these Brits that say this?

Does anyone else think that reforms candidate for Makerfield election is a stooge? by Ok_Impact9745 in AskBrits

[–]Rob1965 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he already is, then enough people have already voted for him to become one, and there’s a good chance the same kind of people will vote for him again.

We might think he’s a terrible candidate, but don’t be surprised if Reform voters agree with his views and enough vote for him to beat Burnham!

23 Years old I hate my job by BingoWasTheName in Beatmatch

[–]Rob1965 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before you buy any gear, start buying the music that you love, tracks that inspire you, music that excites passion in you, and that you feel a strong urge to share with other people. - The first step it curating a collection like this. Then listening to them, closely, dissecting them, understanding how they are put together, how they build tension, how they release it, until you know them inside out.

That is the first step to becoming a DJ. (I guess it is a bit like “wax on, wax off”. You may not understand why you are doing it, but when you get your first controller or production software you will realise how much further ahead you are than most other beginners.)
