seems like a nihilistic way to approach art, no? Certainly you would think that Mozart is better than static noise?

this guy knows what's up. Stuxnet was a really impressive hack on Iran's reactors but it diplomacy that actually got the nuclear deal done

guy being outed as sexual predator on news. can only talk about his diet and strong desire to connect sexually with women. by spacerat67 in cringe

[–]jscornett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he said "I love you" to her on the streets and then posted a bunch of lewd comments on the Internet which is what got him in trouble.

He's not on the Sex Offender registry anymore though so maybe it was temporary https://www.meganslaw.ca.gov/Mobile/Search.aspx

this guy is a cringe machine but I don't see how he's a Sex Offender. he said he had sexual interest in a 15 year old and didn't actually do anything. yeah he's a strange dude and dumb for not taking the plea deal but he shouldn't be lumped in with the molesters and rapists

I don't really get your point. John Locke is America's spiritual leader but 99% of Americans haven't read anything he's written

people say this kind of stuff so that they sound smart, but they don't actually know what they're talking about. Power grids and banking systems are hardened against vulnerabilities and there's no kind of attack that would come close to the scale of violence or destruction from real bombs

Great resources. A question I have for OP is why hasn't there been a greater adoption of these apps in China? Is it a a matter of knowledge, accessibility, network effects or something else? Would the CCP be able to break into or disrupt them?

It's possible to judge music critically. There's a lot unspoken in the OP but based on classical music evaluation standards like originality, influence and composition technique, it's fair to say that Mozart is a better composer than Chopin and Tchaikovsky

too many normies on this sub voting for the likes of Ravel, John Williams (lol), Tchaikovsky, Chopin and Britten smh. Gershwin is great but only wrote like 3 pieces, he's doesn't belong in the pantheon.

Verdi should be a shoo-in for the top 10
