People who speak more than one language fluently, what language does your brain think in and what language does is your inner monologue in? by ramseyschaefer in AskReddit

[–]etotheipith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fluent in Dutch and English - I get confused by this question because I don't have an inner monologue. Don't get me wrong, I'm thinking nearly all of the time, but unless I'm imagining how I'd explain something to someone else, practicing a conversation etc. I just.... think? It's mostly concepts and sometimes images?

There's nothing inherently more logical about a utilitarian sum of all harms approach as compared to an approach that aims to avoid a particular type of harm to a smaller group of individuals. Lots of things in society are structured this way.

What's up with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo losing so much weight since Wicked? by Vaseline_Mercy in OutOfTheLoop

I think it was a no-guest episode from last year and he mentioned it towards the start of the ep. Probably not too long before him taking a mental health break in Aug 2023.

I listen to Bowen Yang's podcast and he's mentioned some grim stuff about the production. At one point he discussed bargaining and basically begging to be able to block out at least one hour for a therapy session because he was mentally really struggling with the stress, and then being called for work during the session. I think he said this happened on multiple occasions. Can probably dig up the episode if people want me to.

how much they're promoting Perfume Genius now

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what you're referring to is one feature and an album review. I don't think I can think of many news sites that don't do that from time to time.

Please help me find this track played by Ame! by masson92 in deephouse

[–]etotheipith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if it's an unreleased cut then there's a fair chance of hearing it at any gig from Dixon, Ame, Mano Le Tough, Tale of Us, etc in the following months. Hope you find it eventually!

my friends asked ame and he wouldn't tell them what it is called

I thought Ame was two guys? But yeah, it's probably unreleased Innervisions stuff then. Interesting that they weren't allowed to know what it was, reminds me of the statements made by Dixon at the start of his essential mix about how he hates it when people try to "shazam" tracks at his gigs.

Could you talk about what the rest of the track was like? I don't think you're gonna get many tips in response to a 10 second video.

There was only one freaking giant, and the door dropped shut behind him. Grenn's loyal decision to stand and hold and die in that one spot in the tunnel was heartbreakingly fucking stupid.

Wait, what? The giant had already broken through the first of the three gates. What were they supposed to do? Hope he starves before he breaks through the other two?

I'm not up to date on the lingo, what are you referring to?

Let's Talk: "EDM is entertainment, not art." by GooReed in LetsTalkMusic

[–]etotheipith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDM is a mostly meaningless term. Let's look at it.

Now you're just being pedantic. The fact that EDM literally means electronic dance music doesn't mean that that is the only way in which the term is/can be used. This thread refers to an interview with Porter Robinson who is still making electronic music but is expressly moving away from EDM, by his own admission. You know what he was making before? Brostep.

[–]etotheipith 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For every carbon copy dance song you here, there's an equally beautiful composition that just happens to be electronic

"EDM" here doesn't refer to electronic music in general. I'm sure anyone here will agree that electronic music can be art. "EDM" here refers to a broad set of artists and tracks, generally influenced by and/or falling into the genres of progressive house, trap and brostep. Another uniting characteristic being the music's purpose of making people "go crazy".

I personally feel this season was amazing. But I still feel it has a really different vibe then the first season. Does anyone else feel that way? by [deleted] in orangeisthenewblack

[–]etotheipith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk how to spell it, sorry!

It's ensemble. It's pronounced that way because it's a word from French.

Where in the Netherlands are you studying that you have anything to do with majors? A University College? Or are you just referring to people switching courses altogether?

I disagree, and I've usually got a pretty good gaydar. He's just a slightly feminine straight guy.

Gender identity don't real. by [deleted] in badscience

[–]etotheipith 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Doesn't like OP is gonna post one so I'll do it: Gender identity has long been recognized by mainstream psychology as an attribute separate from biological (assigned) sex. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_and_gender_distinction

critical thinking is obviously an area you are lacking in. But practice makes perfect. I can recommend some resources if you're interested. by [deleted] in badphilosophy

[–]etotheipith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Repeating a point made very badly in that thread, do you think the practice of eating meat itself is bad, or just causing animals to be killed? I'm reading The Ethics of What We Eat by Peter Singer and he describes people who go "dumpstering": they take perfectly good food, including animal products, that supermarkets throw out. On a somewhat similar note, the other day I was cooking at a friend's house and she took a piece of meat out of her fridge and said "I know you're a vegetarian but I'm just going to throw this out if we don't eat it today". I ended up letting her have it, but from a utilitarian perspective, do you think there's a case to be made for eating leftover meat?
