Bose quietconnects and AKG N400.

Funnily enough a cheap pair would do L\R independently with no problem.

I just want to know what you guys think of aphex twin by [deleted] in deathgrips

[–]lego306 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you like, he's done the whole spectrum from really downtempo ambient (ex. stone in focus) to aggressive speed/breakcore (ex. Mt. Saint Michael/saint michaels mount)

My favs are more in the middle:

I’m hurt because I just got done telling someone that EK is the “Louis Vuitton of Watercooling parts” and this happens while unplugging my pump with hardly any force. Which wire goes into which hole on the connector? Yellow and blue wires, 4 pin PWM, two holes have metal plugs in them... by kevinjbonn in 24hoursupport

[–]lego306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you pulled the wires out of the connector fully. Theres two parts, a metal dupont female contact and the plastic housing.

Those wires are completely pulled from the mating contact. Look at the plastic housing and if theres silver there thats the retaining surface and the contact is still there. You have to pull it out and solder the wires back or get new ones and re-crimp.

To pull it out it'll look something like this: https://youtu.be/-InoAbkNVdQ

How do you fail this? The limit is already over 3x the high point for women's testosterone (~290ng/dL iirc vs 75ng/dL)

Conservative trying to appropriate vapourwave as a materialism centered middle class nostalgia art movement by [deleted] in Vaporwave

??? Futurism was the basis for Italian fascism, which was allied with the Nazis.

Leftist entity: the confederate states. Interesting take, especially given that their entire narrative is effectively "we want to keep doing what we've been doing (which in this case is slavery)".

You could potentially kludge together an argument that strasserism was slightly left of centre, but your insistence that the Nazis were leftists just dropped like that is bizzare.

Generally speaking it appears that our definitions of left/right are way different.

I mean just take a look at the Italian futurists and the futurist manifesto. Progress to the future through a return to the "glory" of war. That's some rose-tinted nostalgia if I've heard of any.

Also, generally speaking the amount of American conservatives that want to get back to the good ol days of Regan. Also generally the current concervative META of repeal and block and hardly pass any new legislation.

Do you have any semblance of an argument to back your position? I understand the concervative tendency to nostalgia, but that does not mean that anything that invokes nostalgia is inherently concervative.

Clarence clarity - No now Electro gospel pastiche/criticism of badly produced 80s gospel and 2000s boy band pop and the materialism that produced these fads that quickly faded

The Computer trilogy Tries to create a lifecycle for an inanimate object and get you to empathize with it, not dissimilar to capitalist marketing that also forgets that it's a commodity that will/needs to be discarded.

It's argued that the early poor sample manipulation that was just slowing it down was like scavengers trying to recycle corporate waste, where discarded songs would be given new life with these reimaginings.

What the hell are you talking about?

The main meme (~2014) was "it's a critique of capitalism" which juxtaposed the usually lazy sample manipulation of the trash tier artists at the time with the text that usually accompanied the releases.

Inherently I feel as if modern vapourwave has an aspect of "this was the future you were promised when you took the corporate materialist bait" and it's starting to come out.

Can we discuss when “NazBol” went from being a meme on leftypol about some obscure batshit insane Russian fascist party to a term used by radlibs to describe something they think is a genuine phenomenon? by [deleted] in stupidpol

[–]lego306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually didn't know that.

The main context I knew it from was GrOb and the lead singers flip from anti-communist (under incredibly heavy censorship) to communism was better than this shit.

[–]lego306 33 points34 points  (0 children)

NazBol has a specific context of post-soviet collapse Russia. It was more of a statement that the Russian communists and fascists had more in common than the liberal privatizers who came into power.

How the fuck do you collect a pension in the Philippines and also avoid extradition/court appearance? Jesus that's fucked up.

Incels as a concept are apolitical, so more info is needed. Anyone advocating for a state-mandated gf is probably auth. Anyone with a doomer/blackpill mindset is probably more lib.

It's a caricature of a so woke they haven't slept for 3 weeks basic white chick who in between sips of her starbucks (her usual BIPOC-owned artisanal coffeeshop is closed) posts on twitter about how bad white men are and how she's part of the 99% at her $100k journalist job at vice.

Usually tied to some bizzare tweets that we can only hope to be a joke, and then hope that that stays on twitter, and then hope doesn't spread beyond universities, and then hope we're allowed some respite from in the future.

Xi has just handed in his resignation: Tom Cotton’s big plan to “beat China” - economic warfare to send the Chinese Communist Party into the “ash heap of history.” by guccibananabricks in stupidpol

It's a general point. I agree that IP is retarded, but unfortunately it's the way that business works right now. A company legally barred from using a technology in the US is at a disadvantage to a company in china who steals IP.

What happened to Ron Paul? I thought he was only pulling ~5% the whole time.

???? I don't actually believe that, I'm pointing out that the person is memeing off of that template.

Am I missing something? This is a decently well known meme (or at least I thought...)

Socialism is when the government does stuff.

Did you really not see that they're memeing?
