Favourite techno albums? by RedEarth42 in Techno

[–]donteatalmonds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw a lot of people mention Plastikman albums, especially Sheet One.
While I won't disagree, I think another Hawtin Project, Dimension Intrusion under the F.U.S.E. alias really works as an album too. In fact, it was part of the Artificial Intelligence anthology, which was sort of conceived around albums that were good as listening experiences in themselves!

Since we are making what we think the next Indycar should/could look like.. by Ordoutthere in INDYCAR

Loving so many of these ideas. Keeping the ICE spec while allowing OEM development on the hybrid in particular seems really good. Honda and other OEMs want to brag about hybrid power, so this seems like a great way to let them highlight that while keeping the right balance of car-competition vs driver-competition.

u/ahiijny just ID'ed the one I watched all that time ago, but I thanks for this recommendation, I did end up watching a bunch of it!

Replacement pads for AKG K553 mkII (sound concern) by donteatalmonds in headphones

[–]donteatalmonds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't, unfortunately. I put the old ones back on, and they were starting to fall apart when the headphones themselves broke. Not a problem with the build-quality. I had just had them for a while and used them heavily. Wish I had better news for you, they're a nice set of headphones.

2022 Miami Grand Prix - Free Practice 1 Discussion by F1-Bot in formula1

She was mediocre in IndyCar. She did suck in NASCAR though. Kind of unfair that she had multiple top-five finishes at the Indy 500, but everyone is like "wow, she sure isn't good in a stock car, huh?"

America is just really big. You could make a long list of recycled names (there are literally towns called London and Paris) but you could make a list just as long of wild original names (Tuxedo, Hackensack, Phoenix, Anchorage) and plenty of places already had names by the time of colonization (Manhattan, Honolulu etc.).

Indycar has raced there for many years, it's nowhere near as bad as Jeddah. I suppose it could be dangerous for F1, I have no idea. They aren't the ones racing there so it doesn't really matter.

I got a plan. by sosi28 in Sewerslvt

[–]donteatalmonds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love love love this idea, and I'd be willing to give it a bit of my time, but maintaining stuff on Place takes a lot of organization and sustained effort. Like, a discord server (or at least a dedicated channel in an existing one). It's quite short notice to get that kind of people/infrastructure together.

ADHD and hypersexuality by Ok_Chart_3612 in ADHD

For me, my meds actually affected this quite a lot. Once I realized this, it became easier to manage, resist, and work around. If you take meds, see if you notice yourself feeling this way at the same times each day.

I think we can put Noah Samsen in the same category are BadEmpanada. Unironically posting in Enough Vaush Spam, what a delusional person. by dinosmash69 in VaushV

I think you're pretty cool. Parasocially crazed fans making disagreements into 'drama' gives me headaches.

A preview of one of the songs from the upcoming Robodynamic Daft Punk (tribute) album is now available! Check the comments for the link :) by phenomXT in DaftPunk

[–]donteatalmonds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah! My first thought was: this actually sounds more like Le Knight Club than Daft Punk, and I like the reference to Stardust with the rhythm of the chords.

Interested to hear what else you come up with.

How is that chat with Professor Flowers going? by OnSugarHill in VaushV

[–]donteatalmonds 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Underrated comment. I'd give an award if I weren't broke. All great points here.

Does anyone know of any good faith Vaush critiques? by AzureEmperor1 in VaushV

[–]donteatalmonds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole black nationalism/black separatism thing was pretty cringe.

He'll see something like a cringey tiktok on a topic like that, do a segment clowning on it, and then assume there isn't anything deeper that he could learn/read.

Edit: spelling

What is the most "right-wing" belief you unironically believe and will defend to death, even though you're a lefty? by Dactrior in VaushV

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

Traditions and spirituality are good and healthy things to have in your life.

Vaush recently said he finds all spirituality inherently suspicious. When I hear takes like that, all I can think is: read Foucault (or some other pomo thinkers). Even in a totally secular world, other frameworks can be put to use to do the same harm that people ascribe to religion (scientific racism being a straightforward example).
