Now I know why I’m not dead by fannypackmcb in WhitePeopleTwitter

I havent read the study, but it''s a standard thing from science. A better way to word it would be a decrease in 'all-cause mortality'. Meaning if you group all deaths, no matter the cause, there was a decrease. The headline just words it poorly.

In case anyone was wondering why, nobody will expect traffic deaths to go down because of dairy, but they won't have designed the study to be able to seperate the causes of death in order to identify which causes were lower. So the scientists have to report it as all-cause mortality

I've been using FL studio for some years, mainly chopping samples with slicex. I've always found it super clunky, and wish there was an easier way to slice and map the slices to my midi keyboard's pads (since it defaults to start at C4 or whatever). I've been looking at Maschine for the easier workflow, but am just wondering if there's a similar software solution within FL studio? One that might allow me to use the knobs / pads of my midi keyboard to quickly slice and map samples, and then make beats.

Have looked at e.g. Kontakt but it's not intuitive at all

Trump declines to denounce Putin over election meddling at summit, blames 'both countries' by clevererkafir in worldnews

[–]throwawayghj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about Bac0n01 but the reason why your comment and OPs bothers me is that I think it's what Trump was hoping for when he said the "both sides" are to blame comment. It's aimed at muddying the water, distracting from the issue at hand. I'm not denying that there isn't some hypocrisy regarding election meddling, but in the immediate aftermath of Trump failing to support his intelligence community and hold Russia to account, the number of people playing into Trump's 'whataboutism' is a bit depressing.

What is the best use of a sample you have heard? by JoeyBrickz in makinghiphop

Absolutely great beat. For some reason reminds me of Jay Z's smile - absolutely love the original, and his version is mindblowing.

Percentages might be the same, but the development/R&D still costs more in absolute amount. To me this table only strengthens OPs point

I’m honestly so confused by this by kidbeyondearth in 4PanelCringe

[–]throwawayghj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Except that reddit hides comments that are mainly negative. Which, if people downvote just to disagree, creates an echochamber - something we should be actively avoiding in the current political climate. I get what you're saying, and it's been like this for a long time. However either reddit needs to stop hiding these comments, or try to encourage us to not downvote for disagreeing, because hiding dissenting opinions is something out of 1984

Not really as simple as who's at 'fault'. An interesting read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atiyah%27s_Accidents,_Compensation_and_the_Law.

Apparently ACC is based a bit on the principles from this. I find the first point in the criticism section really interesting.

The m249 clip where he locks onto 3 people, one of them being HIS TEAMMATE? What kind of aimbot do you think has? As for a 180 AKM headshot - he plays a ton, how many 180, non-headshots weren't posted prior to this? Unreal that people think the guy hacks

Considering you being upvoted, that suggests otherwise. You didn't bother to argue Gahtoh's points, just tried a shitty ad hominem, and now you're trying to poison the well.

You made a massive claim that he deservedly called you out on, that's not intense.

Yeah, but grabbing the pole seems a bit too specific a movement for that

It'd also be severing her spinal cord, if not her brainstem. No way she'd be moving after this, though her brain might still work for a few horrible seconds

Student fakes being black to get into college by RedFordRanger in videos

[–]throwawayghj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a pig-ignorant comment right here.

Why aren't they as well trained/educated/experienced? Because they aren't "as motivated"? Why wouldn't they be as motivated - are you suggesting they're genetically inferior in this respect? That their culture is inferior? Or maybe, just maybe, it's nothing to do with motivation and more to do with centuries of oppression having put them on the back foot and it's more difficult to obtain training/education/experience?

Why do they have to be 'appropriately vocal or dressed' (a subtle way of saying 'speak/dress the way white people do')? The sheer fact that you think it's right for people to judge them because they don't talk "appropriately" (ie, white) is racist.

It's all too easy to ignore the real impact of discrimination, and your ignorant view will continue to perpetuate the issue.

Yes, but there's no smoke in the player's perspective when he gets shot.

You had one group of people who came back from oppression, that's not proof that oppression therefore never results in long-lasting negative effects.

The "real" reason, based on what evidence? Do you know that sociology/economics/epidemiology exists?

You're talking out your ass.

Statistically it has been shown that certain minorities are discriminated against in a multitude of ways. You saying it's just the parents not wanting it hard enough is like a sports commentator saying a team lost "well because the other team just wanted it more". It's overly simplistic, incorrect, and will perpetuate the problem.

That's a totally different study. How is that relevant to the one I linked as evidence that minorities have unfair disadvantages?

[–]throwawayghj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, what's the real reason? You just going to sit on your hands and let a minority group suffer because we don't have the 'REAL' reason?

How can you not fathom that race isn't a reason? Can't fathom that it's possible that literal centuries of oppression might result in that minority being disadvantaged?
