There is a certain Australian accent the just drives me wild. There are others that don’t 😃

Nested parentheses in prose… Nice! 👍

I listen exclusively to 96kbps opus and it sounds perfect. Not sure if 75kbps would be noticeable.

Public speaking. It always comes in useful.

If your nas has 300tb spare, you could.

Humbucker humbucker single coil?

Who names an iceberg? Even the one the real Titanic hit hasn’t been given a name.

Still an artist. Just not made entirely by humans

It’s such an arbitrary distinction. Humans create computers which can create art following human instruction. Whether that instruction is words or mouse clicks seems like a trivial difference.

Entirely by humans is a tough all. It removes most visual art as even the masters used paint and brushes. Check out live dance performances and choirs. They would qualify as entirely human art forms. Unless you include the lighting and costumes…

Digital art isn’t made entirely by humans. It’s using a computer.

My dog loved going to the vet. The car trip, new smells, other animals, new people to meet. We took him to the vet to get it done 😢

We made the call when our dog had cancer and couldn’t walk anymore. It was the right call. We wanted to maximise his good life and minimise his suffering. From his point of view, he got lots of pats and treats and then peacefully went to sleep. There was no pain or panic. He lived a good life.

What’s wrong with assholes? Using that as an insult is bad because assholes are incredibly valuable parts of our bodies.

Try to understand yourself better. Notice when you have strong emotions and question why. Revisit the same situation from different angles and try to understand what happened. Why did this make you angry, why did that make you feel ashamed.

Also don’t spend your life arguing online. It’s easy to get caught up in winning an argument. But it’s a waste of your time.

If it’s not a yes, it’s a no. If you ask someone on a date and they um and ah, that’s effectively a no. Some people are just bad of saying no.

To try to understand someone is not the same as respecting them. One can try to understand one’s enemy to better fight them.

I have been for quite a few of them. We’ve fallen out of contact now. I think it’s a good thing to be. But if either of you are heart broken, you need to cut off contact for a while to really get over them before you can be friends.

My bad. I was not meaning sarcasm. I genuinely wish you well

Agreed. Although I don’t know if killing healthy animals is a “good reason” to own a gun.
