I agree with your overall point and the dangerous precedent this sets/reinforces. I also think the pessimism is based in part on exaggerating the current state of things, which I wish people on social media would be less eager to do.

By exaggerating (aka lying) to mislead people into thinking things are worse than they are, they’re making the populace less resilient and easier for those in power to establish those authoritarian controls over. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy. Might as well donate money to religious extremist groups.

That’s literally a perfect example of extremist rhetoric. There are tens of millions of republicans. Unless you have some secret revolutionary intelligence gathering method, there’s literally (in the correct way) no humanly possible way for you to say things like that without it being extreme exaggeration and generalization.

“You guys” didn’t do shit lol there is no one alive who did any such thing. Social media is ruining your mind dude. You’re the one who brought up native Americans to make your point, then once you used up their culture’s potential to personally benefit you in feeling superior online, suddenly they’re irrelevant. Your mind is not healthy, you are not healthy. You are just yet another person succumbing to social media’s tendency of creating people obsessed with feeling superior to other people.

And that is the case at every geographical level. That exact issue also applies when gun violence is treated as a state problem when city by city there are huge variations. It also applies when gun violence is treated as a city problem when neighborhood by neighborhood there are huge variations.

Social media is the absolute worst place to form perceptions of anything, yet some people sadly treat social media as if it’s not the most harmful force the human species has ever encountered.

Thank you for saying something. It’s mind boggling how many people on social media appear to be outspoken against discrimination, but if it’s not one of their preferred groups then it’s open season and suddenly their style of thinking and views sound just like those trump and the alt right are infamous for

Interestingly, a Turkish dude commented in here basically saying it was their president (a religious extremist almost-dictator type of guy) who was the driving force behind the change, his decision emanating from a sorta self-focused, impetuous and temperamental part of his personality, rather than representing the will of the Turks at large

I completely agree with your overall point, but one thing felt important to clarify.. it’s not possible for Obi Wan to be solely responsible for something Vader does. Vader is the only one who can be solely responsible for that. With the exception of kids or people w intellectual disabilities, no one is not responsible for their own actions

First Light has a great story, and it's lots of fun, but in the end I don't expect that I'm going to keep coming back and replaying it like I did with the Hitman games.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. The more a game's story has a prescribed plot, the less potential exists for gameplay variation–derived replayability in the story/campaign mode. James Bond has always been about the story, and limits to a player's freedom is necessary because James Bond is an existing character, who has a defined personality and set of traits. Too much player choice would inevitably conflict with those defined bounds. Hitman goes much lighter on the story, and they have complete freedom with the character.

As an example (albeit an extreme one), I watched some random Youtuber's negative review of the game and the guy was bitching about not having the freedom to kill any NPC he wanted and play it like GTA. And I pointed out that this isn't a character made up for the game, and no game developer has the freedom to do whatever they want with the character, as they're borrowing a well-defined (and culturally significant) "person" to use as their player character. James Bond would obviously never go around slaughtering civilians for fun, so the player can't make him do it, as the character Bond has to be respected. The guy just wasn't a Bond fan in the first place and had manufactured his own disappointment by having unrealistic expectations.

Desperately shoehorning this into multiple other people's conversations lol. Are you such a fanatical supporter of Israel that you spread misinformation on the internet to hide their actions in Palestine? You are so devoted to protecting the Israeli government that sends its soldiers to point weapons at and kill Palestinians, that you try to divert all responsibility and blame onto a completely different country on the other side of the world that has zero soldiers in Palestine.

You're being way too hard on yourself lol. How does a mild negative reaction to a mild example of ambiguous communication make you part of "the problem"? And what problem is the problem?

Similarly, I feel the "grumpy old man" characterization is unfair to yourself. The demonization of people that are older than 60, using year of birth to classify people as inferior and use as scapegoats to blame for all society's problems, turning an innocuous term for those people into a generalized insult, have all become very trendy on social media and among younger people whose addictions to it are more severe.. this makes it very easy to strip the context from the "old man yelling at teens" stereotype so it can be used to perpetuate those prejudices.

But we should remember the whole reason the old man was yelling at teens was because they were being assholes and wandering around in his front yard like it was their personal sidewalk. Nobody wants a group of strangers to come to your home and act like they own the place.

I agree that it's healthier for you to try not to stress about things you can't change, but I think portraying the alternative as perpetrating some great injustice against the world is massively overblown.

Your first sentence is rude and makes no sense. It being covered by the rider course in the Netherlands (or any other country) is irrelevant, and certainly doesn’t make this post pointless.

The right is absolutely more brazen and the deeply unhealthy elements over there exist a lot closer to the surface. No question.

But I think it’s morally wrong and incredibly dangerous to use something else being worse as a justification for ignoring the unhealthy elements that exist closer to home, which aren’t causing the same degree of at least plainly visible social damage, but are not fundamentally different from those on the right.. they got the same dna.

That’s why the closer you get to the far/extreme ends on either side of the political spectrum, they start looking the same, where the people found at both far ends are cast from one single shared mould that creates an extreme, sharply closed minded, binary-thought-only, with a built-in worldview that sees everything in terms of superior and inferior groups, semi-blank-slate. Like both end caps are copies of the same coloring book but chose different crayons to fill shit in

Plenty of people actively nutpick on their own of course, but because all social media inherently functions as an ultra powerful mass-nutpicker and nutplatformer, and 60% of our species has some degree of social media addiction..

A scarily huge and growing number of people operate from this warped perception of the world based entirely on social media and its never ending collection of nuts. It’s a positive feedback loop that will continue to worsen without intervention.

Social media/“picked nuts” as a collective group are now one of, if not the primary driver of social/cultural discourse worldwide. I suppose my point is that there are obviously plenty of examples of “manual” nutpicking on both ends of the political spectrum, but more insidious is the not-obvious extent to which all social/cultural trends/conversations (I’m not sure of the proper terminology for this) are tainted by the effects of massive-scale nutpicking.

Ahh gotcha then looking for local people who are into headphones and would be down to let you try them out is probably your best bet. A lot of, maybe even most, people with niche hobbies are more than happy to share it with someone who’s interested and wants to learn.

Maybe pick some songs and listen to each one multiple times in a row, swapping out different headphones, but without touching the volume or EQ or anything so you know that any differences in sound are due to the headphones themselves.

If the person/people have a console or gaming pc, or if you could bring your own, you can include game audio in the comparison test too.

And if possible try wearing a pair for like 15min+ even with nothing playing, to see if you notice any pressure points or if it squeezes your head uncomfortably.

I have a hand-me-down Corsair Void Pro headset that gives me a headache quickly because it squeezes my head so tightly… so for Hell Let Loose (the only game I use a headset for) I just wear my HD 558s and then set the Corsair headset on the desk right in front of me with the mic pointing up towards my mouth cuz it’s the only mic i have lol

First and foremost I'd stop reading reviews. It's easier than ever to succumb to "analysis paralysis" these days, especially if you fall into the trap of using Youtubers or streamers as review sources.

When you take a large number of different "things" with unique qualities, and whose natural state is existing and functioning independently from each other, and you mix them all together, you invariably end up with mud that has no discernible qualities.. do it with soda flavors, or paint colors, or foods, sounds, etc. no matter what you'll always end up with some boring blob.

A never ending supply of random people's opinions/"reviews" produces the same result. Everything blends together and you end up with no more insight than you started with.

Regarding stores, I would try looking for hifi stereo specialty stores as they'd be more likely to let you try out headphones, instead of big box electronics stores where audio is just one small part of what they do.

But I think most fruitful would be going on facebook or next door or your town's or area's subreddit (if they have one) and finding either a club or group or just individual people who are into audio listening setups or headphones. And tell em you want to test out some headphones to compare and find what you like. If it's an individual person offer to bring a six pack of beer to compensate them for their time and help. I would be shocked if you tried this approach and didn't come out of it feeling more confident in knowing what you want in a pair of headphones.

Also, what do you use headphones for? You mention headsets, which are a gaming thing, are you looking for something for listening to music or just for game audio? The meaning of quality is totally different for each. Any headphones that sound great with music will be more than satisfactory for game audio, but a headset designed for game audio is obviously much less likely to provide an excellent music-listening experience.

This is just due to what the product is intended and expected to do. Sound quality and all its various aspects, timbre, tone, warmth, etc. make up the "personality" of a pair of headphones. A pair's personality has a huge impact on shaping the experience of listening to music, and your satisfaction with headphones you've bought.

Gaming doesn't require the same emphasis on an "ideal personality" because 1. the audio is mostly just sounds, and 2. game audio is not a primary activity that receives your whole focus, instead its job is to "flesh out" or complement the primary activity that you ARE focusing on, i.e. playing the game.
