so what's your threshold for calling police on random situations in your area that appear strange and potentially violent? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The police are typically just there to point guns, so I'd only call if I thought a gun was useful, which is extremely rare.

e: I'm answering from the USA

butI would absolutely change that stance if we took guns away from cops and stopped giving them military training. Especially if they had a social worker / deescalation force that was more likely to be sent.

What is a stupid question? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

People have already correctly answered that in this community there are no stupid questions, you're supposed to be able to ask anything without ridicule. But if you want to permit the general existence of stupid questions, here's the definition I've always used.

A stupid question is one you can easily answer yourself.

As in, any question due to real lack of knowledge is not stupid, but if you can answer your own question just by thinking about it for a second, then it wasn't necessary to ask and therefore "stupid”.

Be direct in communication when needed, otherwise just don't.

Isn't this kind of posting just feeding into said noise machine?

‘It’s time we put a felon in the White House,’ California sheriff says in c/[email protected]

I don't agree with now being the time, given who that would be. But I do think it would be good to elect a convicted felon to the white house at some point.

Is there anyway to have YouTube videos play within Jerboa instead of opening the YouTube app? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Fucking duh. It was a very simple settings change. Turn off "Open supported links" in "Set as default" in YouTube app settings

With most links it goes to the browser version which plays within Jerboa, but with YouTube video links it always takes me away to the YouTube app. Can it not do that please? Thanks

Pythagoras was wrong: There are no universal musical harmonies, study finds in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Those aren't perfect though, there's still distortion and unsteadyness. As an audio engineer, even when an instrument is super clean, I add a little saturation to make it come to life. And yes much electronic music is perfect rhythm wise, but they often mess with more complexity to make it feel off or lean into the uncanny nature of it's perfection.

Just because it's in the uncanny valley doesn't make it bad.

I think perfect music starts to approach the uncanny valley just like a perfect human face does. Where it's just missing some piece that you can't quite figure out. Also distortion/saturation makes music sound better, pretty much always.

No weed, no alcohol, no caffeine, no meds, nothing legal or illegal.

What job could I get? (lemm.ee)
 

I'm an adult considering a change of career. I have no relevant education or experience. I'm at least an hour away from anywhere that could be considered a major city and would not like to move. My only requirements are that I am actively helping our ecosystem thrive and I'm not dirt poor. What's a position I could reasonably obtain?

Do any of y'all know where I can get a retro box? (lemm.ee)
 

My college roommate had this little box that had 2 controllers and RCA'd into the TV that contained basically every game from the most important retro consoles. All the important consoles and games pre y2k. Including Nintendo, Atari, Sega, and maybe some arcade. I assume I can't get it through normal channels because of some of those roms are unsanctioned, but where might I get something like that? Thanks!

Is it okay for a community like c/fauxbait to exist on this platform? (lemm.ee)
 

This probably isn't the best place for this but something I want to have been mentioned.

Obviously porn in general is fine, even the more risqué or honestly even unsanitary isn't really a problem to me. And yes I understand all the women are of legal and there's verification. But isn't this still problematic? They're being sexualized for the reason of looking like they are too young to be sexualized. That seems like a great way to encourage pedophilia. It's a gross concept, especially given the median age on this platform.

And yes, I've blocked it for myself because I'm too old to want to see that when I'm scrolling /all. But I still think it's a bad message to leave out there.

What type of lie do you tell most often? (lemm.ee)
 

When I lie, it's most often a lie of omission. Are you more of a falsehood teller? Or do you lie out of ignorance? Or is there a particular subject you're likely to lie about? Or a person who you tell most of your lies to?

Do you always tell the truth? If yes what type of lie was that?
