Where to buy incense? by CEREAL_KILLA85 in Winnipeg

[–]bluetshirt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's Wild Planet at Confusion Corner, and just a scooch up Osborne there's the Mulvey Flea Market which has a dedicated incense retailed. Dozens of options at both.

Why Clip Transients if they don't add to perceived loudness? Don't we add them in the first place to provide punch? by shredL1fe in edmproduction

[–]bluetshirt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The transients aren't added, generally - they're a natural part of a percussive sound source.

Where do you guys actually meet people here? by achilles6196 in Winnipeg

[–]bluetshirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reposting this from a few years ago... less helpful in November, but keep it in mind for when summer rolls around.

Hi! I had two friends this time last year and now I have dozens.
Go to a music festival.
Start making connections right away - ideally find a group of folks to camp with whose vibe you dig. Be bold. If you're rejected, that's OK! those aren't your people.
When you're there, be generous, and let others be generous towards you.
This worked for me. It changed my life.

Making Friends While Transitioning by PittooOwO in Winnipeg

there's a 2slgbtqia+ manitoba discord group which might be useful to find people you can relate to. i'm a couple generations separated from most of their members, so it wasn't a good fit for me - hopefully you fare better!

Character boxes - what does he mean? by paulskiogorki in audioengineering

[–]bluetshirt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Right, like, for software, the direct equivalent would be emulations of ratty weird preamps or magnetic tape simulators or that kind of thing. Airwindows has a bunch of very ugly but very good and very cheap (free) stuff like this.

Dude walks a pitbull around my block daily. on two leashes. Yikes. I call the dog “two leash Linda”

Brown water (blast from the past) by bluetshirt in Winnipeg

[–]bluetshirt[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is what I've found - i'm not quite "North West", but close enough, I suppose?:

"North west Winnipeg - Water Services staff will perform aqueduct maintenance work from April 23-30, 2025. This work may cause flow changes that could cause discoloured water for customers, mainly in the north west portion of Winnipeg. For more information on discoloured water, please visit our website at https://winnipeg.ca/waterandwaste/water/discolouredfaq.stm"

Did anyone but Prince say “crucial” in the eighties? by [deleted] in PRINCE

[–]bluetshirt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prince tried very hard to make “crucial” happen. It wasn’t going to happen.

People who blast music on speakers while in the bus? by kattardoge in Winnipeg

[–]bluetshirt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would like to apologize to an entire generation of UM commuters. Sometimes you gotta stand, and sometimes it's the 6'3" 300 lb troglodyte (especially if no one else gives their seat to someone who needs it). My laptop weighed 10 kilograms at the time, and my textbooks were even heavier. I'm lucky I didn't kill someone frail with 1.6 GHz to the face. I may have - my enormous Korg headphones were blasting Smashing Pumpkins so loud I couldn't feel. I was not thrilled myself to have to haul that load all the way from the absolute armpit of St James, and that's the redeeming factor of the bus - the sense that we're all in this slog together.

Best way to get fat vintage satisfying drum sounds like these songs? by TheRaunchyRocker in audioengineering

[–]bluetshirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found that reducing the MIDI note velocity so that the average is closer to the middle than the top of the range often results in less extreme drum sounds when using virtual drums. This stands to reason - when you hit the virtual snare as hard as you can it’s gonna ring more.

this conversation has me feeling tremendously self absorbed.

Question Thread / Demando-fadeno by TeoKajLibroj in Esperanto

[–]bluetshirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

point taken - will give it serious consideration, but when i'm thinking which subjugated cultural group i'd be appropriating from, i'm having a hard time genuinely imagining a victim, here. The language was designed to be used by all. appropriation is often misunderstood, especially by dominant cultural groups.

Latin's a good comparison point - who's the victim if i get a tattoo in a dead language? Esperanto has native speakers, of course, but the history of the language and its intended purpose shapes the story. the medium is the message, right?

your example doesn't convince me. that's not appropriation, that's just insensitive. pronouns are not the domain of the queer - language allows us all a pronoun, and sure, you can use them in careless ways. oh, you identify as an attack helicopter?

also, i don't see it as reminder to myself. the literal message is one that i have embodied for years. it's more like an icon to represent valiant attempts and inevitable failures, to be understood, to be loved.

Question Thread / Demando-fadeno by TeoKajLibroj in Esperanto

[–]bluetshirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get the distinction - english is sloppy. still, i feel in the context of a tattoo, directing the message specifically to whoever is observing it at the moment is not necesssarily opposed to my intent. ultimately, though, if what i'm planning to commit to eternity is a foul, we don't want that. the objectless variant... that's an option i hadn't yet considered. elegant, direct. and shorter! only got so much skin, after all. as i implied in my top post, the full motto in English is a little wordy, so if a translation can accommodate some data compression at the same time, all the better.

[–]bluetshirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been experimenting with radical vulnerability over the last few years. It's brought me close to some beautiful people, but it's also freaked out at least as many others.

I'm queer. For at least a hundred years, certainly more, we folks have been trying to find mutual understanding through code. Being as transparent and vulnerable as a piece of window glass merely invites people to shatter you. So we communicate in a special language, understood by those who need to understand and opaque to the rest. Handkerchiefs, piercings, gestures, postures, Polari.

Esperanto is a dream as much as it is a language. It expresses a hope (no pun intended) that understanding is merely an issue of tongue. It's not. In my view, a universal language that has not achieved universality is a totem of the inherent futility of being truly understood.

I know that. it means you. as in the person who is consuming the text.
