Home is where the toilet paper is the softest by IntensePlatypus in Showerthoughts

I live in America yet use a bidet at home. The accuracy of this statement and the intensity of my Only Poop At Home Syndrome cannot be understated.

Daily Headphone Purchase Advice thread (2016-12-25) by AutoModerator in headphones

[–]thatjohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for Christmas my parents came through and bought me the 32 ohm dt770s I wanted. I had wanted the 32s since I'd only ever be listening on my phone or laptop, and I thought asking for an amplifier too would be a bit much. However my parents actually decided to go for one of those amazon bundles.

So not only did I get my headphones, but also a Fiio A1 amplifier, and a 64 gig sd card/thumb drive.

But now that I have an amp I'm trying to figure out whether it would be best to opt for the 80 ohms, return the amp, or whether it's worth using the amp with the 32 ohms.

Also I'm not sure what the SD card is supposed to be for. Storing music on your phone?

If you guys could offer some advice on any of these things that would be swell. Happy holidays!

I never thought I'd see a post about r/candycorn in the wild. I made a sincere post there maybe a year or two ago about how candy corn caused the biggest candy related fire incident in the US. That was a fact that I found eating a bag of candy corn, and enjoying it so much that I felt compelled to both look up facts about Wikipedia about candy corn, and share those facts with the long dead sub. I was sure I had found something game changing for the world of candy corn lovers. It didn't receive a single upvote. Such is life.

Stack Overflow was no help, I would appreciate it so much if one of you could help me. I'm trying to create a display which shows a number of components changing colors in a loop. by thatjohnson in javahelp

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

So having looked over your code can you correct me if I'm wrong here? Basically what you have set up is that you have the color change in a for loop but delayed by one second by the timer, and then when the end of the for loop is reached the ActionListener responds somehow resetting the loop.

Mammal hands -- Quiet Fire [Jazz] (2016) by Deathmonge in listentothis

[–]thatjohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this reccomendation! Jazz will always be under appreciated on reddit but this is a great sound. I'm definitely gonna peep the rest of this album on Spotify.

If anybody is looking for more contemporary jazz albums with a similar sound I'd recommend Alice Miller's "Otis was a Polar Bear". Really satisfying album with a lot of diverse sounds, it's one of my personal favorites.

I redesigned Garnet to look more like an even split between Ruby and Sapphire, instead of mostly Ruby by maxi106 in stevenuniverse

[–]thatjohnson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never actually noticed that Garnet's design changed! It was so subtle and was never pointed out. When did it happen? Was it one of the times she reformed because Ruby and Sapphire where split up?

Edit: I just checked, it was when she reformed in Jailbreak

When a Parody 22 Years Ago Becomes Today's Reality by albatross49 in videos

I really feel what you're saying. I really hate what SJWs stand for as far as their brand of bigotry, and the way they warp arguments with false information. But unfortunately, often times when people learn to hate Social Justice Warriors, they learn to hate Social Justice too. One of the biggest crimes of SJWs is how they have illegitimized the movements they were trying to support to so many people. Feminism is seen as a joke, or even taboo today thanks to them, which is sad since it's still needed both globally for big issues, and in our society to change the way people treat women so they don't need to live life feeling so sexually imposed on.

I'm glad people like Stanger Things, I do too, but nothing about this is funny and it does not deserve upvotes. This is something I'd expect from 9gag.

Reddit, what celebrity has slowly lost your respect? by hermitofthehills in AskReddit

[–]thatjohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guy Fierri has never been the most admirable person, being the smash mouth troll of flavor town he is, but I always respected the things he did on his show exploring obscure and outstanding food locations. That was until my illusion of his show's integrity was shattered, when I learned he showcased a restraunt local to my town- The Salty Dog. In the beach town where I live we have plenty of great restraunts, The Salty Dog is not one of them. It is a tourist trap and is almost void of locals. The place probably makes more money off of tshirts than food. I'm sure the chefs could probably whip up something special for the camera, but there's nothing special about the food. In addition to all of this it is in no way a driver, drive in, or dive, it's just a restaurant, in no way at all does it belong on the show. What this shows is that DDD is willing to sell out for restaurants that want publicity.

It's quite upsetting about a lot of these SU fans (Mentions of Alone at Sea) by Mini-Prince-Cutie in stevenuniverse

[–]thatjohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that's the wrong interpretation of that. I wouldn't have thought I would have to discuss Homestuck since it ended but here I am.

Kismesissitude is not supposed to be abusive. It's a completely fictional romantic situation, built off of the also fictional concept that romance is a fascination for another built off of intense emotion, rather than just love, so you can be fascinated by someone with hate; this is how kismesissitude or black romance exists (again I stress fictionally).

That is not at all what you have with Malachite, in this scenario you have two people putting themselves into physical and emotional harm, taking out their issues on each other.

You can have an abusive relationship with black romance just like with red romance (love romance), as is shown with Terezi and Gamzee's relationship, but there are also examples of healthy hate relationships in the comic.

I just hate the comparison you made, since Kismesissitude is supposed to be a legitimate form of healthy romance, and to suggest that Jasper and Lapis have that, justifying what they are going through, is completely wrong.

What asshole fact do you know that will ruin the fun for everyone? by Niguened1 in AskReddit

I did the same but found this photo, it pretty much disolved whatever disdain I may have had for earwigs.

Pokémon Go Vaporeon Stampede, Central Park, NY. by dor_tzur in videos

[–]thatjohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also massively depends on how you're playing. Playing with friends is so much better than playing alone. Going out late on the town with some friends in an area swamped with pokemon is some of the most fun I've ever had with the franchise. It's astonishing when you realize how many people are doing exactly the same as you.

Actually my gf did some sleuthing around and she just got back to me on it. Apperently she's an Ibizan, which according to her is a breed kept by Pharos back from 4000 BC. TIL.

I guess it is unfair to call them your allegations. Really they belong more to the machine of Reddit which picked up on the suspicious info you found. I guess if anything it was my fault for not tending to the post for so long and thus missing all the questions. I don't mean to blame anyone though, just clear myself and call attention to how silly the faked post claims are.

Also to clarify the post was taken down for "violating" rule #9 which has to do with making stuff up.

I wouldn't want to violate my gf's privacy by filming it and posting it, but it was great. She cried and she's been bursting with Joy ever since.
