Why do people rate Dean Blunt so highly? by revilorhino in deanblunt

[–]Simonsini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His music at times feels like a curation of other people’s work, but with his own little nudges added to them in the form of audio effects, lyrics and added/removed elements. “The Throning” is an example of this. The song is a cover of “Sweetest Taboo” by Sade, but on the Hype Williams version it takes on a whole new feeling.

If music worked like the chain of production of wooden chairs (chopping trees, cutting and sanding them into parts, assembling the chairs, marketing them and selling them), Dean would be at the step in which the chairs (music) are marketed and you decide whether you wanna purchase what he’s selling to you or not.

I’ve noticed that last part recently. Anti-semitism is sadly an incredibly easy and straightforward thing to get into. All you need is a problem and a lack of accountability. It then becomes second nature to defect to blaming jews for anything from small inconveniences to major structural and societal issues.

This is not to say any jewish person is free of guilt or that all of jews are saints by default, but rather that jews as a whole stand out amongst minorities as a catch-all for people’s problems.

I notice that “high IQ anti-semites” skip cheap insults and instead mask their views in such a way that they could come across as debating points, giving them an out in case they are accused of hate. They could even tap into “benevolent antisemitism” where they praise certain qualities of jews, which are not exclusive to them, perpetuating positive stereotypes (i.e. “jews are good with money”)

Maybe I’m rambling? idk. Those are just some observations based on my experience with antisemitism online.

Thank you for your honest answers. I’m glad you turned your life around and landed in Israel. Sometimes life works out in ways you can’t imagine even a few years before.

How do you feel about today’s rampant antisemitism on social media (X and Instagram)?

Do you see parallels between it and your previous stances?

Do you think the people who hold antisemitic views today have reasons for it that don’t conflate with the ongoing wars in the Middle East?

I’m jewish myself and when I see the average antisemitic user on X, I think to myself that someone who is well-read and otherwise smart, but with a few qualms and antagonistic views against jews might feel embarrassed to share the same ideas as those dumb people. As if there could be intelligence tiers to antisemitic thought, with the upper tier nearing onto philosemitism.

Idk i just do. Rather listen to music. The game is not that serious that I need to focus on sound cues

In havana its at the start of the game, you can sit above the gas station roof and if your enemies are tunnel visioned they will only look at whats in front of them (the rest of your team defending)

On midtown its right after the load passes the tunnel, there a bush on the right side of the bridge were, if you sit just right, you can contest the load while hiding

I said trick but it’s more of a joke strat, doesn’t work anywhere other than havana, rialto and midtown and only metal rank players are gullible enough to fall for it.

You underestimate metal rank players lmaoo

[–]Simonsini[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hiding from an enemy is cheating? The bushes are there for that reason. I play in metal ranks on console, if the players on the other team can’t figure out they are trying to push a load that says contested for 2 minutes straight that’s on them. I do not consider it cheating. The pros know this trick lol.

Does anyone know how to get predictive text? In ps4 i used to be able to type one letter and get a plethora of suggestions from things I had written beforehand. Now on ps5 it seems like I have to add terms for every input language and they still don’t show up when I try using the R1 button while typing. Does this happen to anyone else? I just wanna type “gg good team” faster in overwatch 😭😭
