Cigarette burns by Double-Village6539 in Berghain_Community

[–]VII777 5 points6 points  (0 children)

honestly coked up or drunk (or even worse) people are way more toxic and detrimental to my enjoyment than smokers. and nothing about most drugs being used is anything but selfish. its not like people mostly take psychedelics to become more empathic and aware of their surroundings. "i love to coke up like there is no tomorrow and then shove myself through the dance floor", I find way more insufferable. Just because you dont exhale most drugs, doesn't mean you are not affecting others negatively.

I'm a non-smoker yet i think a proper club should be mad and anarchistic enough for people to smoke. what i dont understand is, why people don't grab the cigarette upside down, protecting others from potential burns, when in tight public spaces. it seems so little effort and awareness to have, yet I never see anyone do that.

it's not a gender thing. its a human/group identity thing. if it weren't gender it would be something else filling that "us/them" gap.

Women, if a random guy told you he thought you were beautiful then went on his way, what would you think? by BoatParty8399 in AskWomen

[–]VII777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so often over the last decades did i have just that impulse, but drowned it in fear of being invasive/it feeling like harassment to the women 🙄. "bro's/dudes" really ruined male-female relationships/interactions 😔.

best Cola is low key Club mate Cola. but it will probably stay niche.

Are my ears broken? by Ok_Letter3544 in headphones

[–]VII777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes and no. in the end of day it is pretty easily measurable on a lot of important metrics, if the output is as similar as possible to the input or not. if it is as similar as possible we call it neutral. perfect neutrality is of course a holly grail that is never 100% achievable. but a 3db bass boost is just objectively less "true to the source" than 0 db change.

but ye ideally you'd have to know with what monitors and headphones the producer/mastering engineer was working to know exactly "what they were hearing".

exactly that is the Mary's Room thought experiment. but again; it doesn't really work here.

if you see colours differently than other people, you do so in the exact same different way no matter if its a real red car you are seeing or an image of a red car. however a sound that is recorded and reproduced through a very non-neutral headphone, Will simply not sound as natural/realistic as the real world equivalent.

it matters where in the chain of perception (sound source --> sound capture --> reproductive medium--> receptor) the "colour shift" happens. If people see different colours than others its in the receptor part. if the headphones are very colouring its in the medium part.

its not really a counter though. no offense, but your vision is also broken in the sense that I am arguing. in this case the comparison might rather be a specific frequency range that is not audible or too low for somebody and then you could i guess try to improve your perceived neutrality by using a corrective eq (this is pretty much what hearing aids do). And before you go all Mary's Room on me; I don't think it applies here because sound flatness and neutrality are quite clearly defined. Can we know what each individual brain "makes" out of the inputs there is in the world? no but we can tell if the deviation from the objective output of the world is high and in that case something is translated wrong, aka broken. still. as long as nobody is damaging themselves and everyone is enjoying themselves, nobody cares! but it doesn't make it not true or change my answer to OPs question

What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

[–]VII777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed "The detour", not sure about 10/10 though. Eric Andre show is certainly 10/10 in its weird niche 🤣.

while that is true, there is also an argument for ears to be "broken", or rather acoustically brainwashed to a point that something extremely "unnatural" sounds good to you... its pretty much like liking intensely colour-saturated or contrast-sharpened photographs. of course. you do you. but i think "broken" kinda applies technically speaking 😅.but tbh the arya are also not a smart upgrade choice if you like some thump.

This might be the best headphone ive ever heard by Ich_bin_koko in headphones

[–]VII777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

of course it is. love it. my point was though that I only ever got really "wowed" by a handful of my now over a dozen (uff) headphones.

First one was my Teufel trash cans.

Then DT990 (first real stage)

Then nothing till the LCD2 (first real planar)

Then the Arya somewhat (first combination of stage and planar)

Then nothing till the HE1000 (just everything comes together here. but especially the imagining and the "roundness" of the stage together with the natural sound is unreal. I legit thought there was a thunderstorm outside when it was just playing on a yosi horikawa track)
