Oh I’m not even just talking about TVs. I’m talking about headphones too. I’ve had perfectly good headphones of decent quality that have experienced this issue with movies in particular. Everything else is fine. Games, videos, music all sound great, but some movies are just balanced so poorly. It’s a shared computer space so it’s not really the place for one person to have a whole sound system just to watch poorly balanced movies.

You looking for an excuse? No one else brought it up but if you need permission, go ahead. Thumbs up from me.

I shouldn’t have to invest hundreds of dollars into a whole separate sound system just because the sound designers of a movie can’t properly balance to audio for stereo sound, the single most common audio set up in the entire world.

Wholesome plot twist: the thralls to be know. They don’t really care about the conversion, they just think you’re cool and see you struggling to manage your lair. The conversion is just so they can help you out after death.

It’s not that they never get around to it. It’s that the thought of taking on the responsibility of thralls is so paralyzing that they cannot muster the willpower to get it done.

“Hey boss, you ready to bestow eternal life unto us and forever bind us to servitude?”

“Shit, I forgot dude. I’m sorry. Still have some prep to do but I’ll keep you updated.”

That’s a lie. ADHD folks forget a lot of things, but not the horror that is being locked in your useless body watching the clock tick down while you scream internally to just DO THE THING INSTEAD OF TORMENTING YOURSELF FOR HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS, or god forbid CENTURIES when the fix is a simple bite and being fucking honest with your thralls, hoping they understand.

Another hour passes. Executive dysfunction doesn’t care. Not like you can metabolize your medicine for it anymore.

Are you not also complaining about freedom while also participating on Lemmy? Lol

Isn’t manipulating and coercing people to do evil things also evil?

We don’t need to. But we do it anyway for ease of language flow. See: Every single contraction, some of which don’t even reduce syllables. Just contacted to make the tongue say it faster.

That’s a lot of copium you got there.

No mouth, no anus, no nostrils, no ear holes, not even a urethra on the tip of that dick. Not a single pore on this person’s body. That’s rough.

Now I can tell people I strive to be FOSS rather tham say I’m into bimbofication.

I think what your missing is that the trolley problem here isn’t an allegory for the US health care system. This trolley problem is entirely unrelated, and the victims are pleading their case for harm mitigation… Until it gets hijacked by a greedy CEO trying to bribe out of it. The self sacrifice the other two on his track is not symbolic of anything other than the generally growing hatred and resentment toward the billionaire class. It could be any CEO there. The health insurance one is just the currently relevant one.

Bigotry of low expectations!

Shortsighted. The real fear here is that you’ll use it at the wrong time and waste it’s potential, so you save it for the perfect opportunity…

Unfortunately, you never know when you missed it and the potion is never used.

I don’t need practice. I can do it fine. I just do not want to.

So, to be clear, are you saying that stealing from a corporation is equally as bad as raping someone?

“no backup style” hits just right.

I’m curious then, and this is not a value judgment. This is a genuine question to understand the perspective. Is the threat of getting abused in jail the only thing keeping you from breaking the law? If you could guarantee no consequences, would you start murdering? Personally, things wouldn’t change for me. Just like I don’t need god as a moral authority, I don’t need law to want to be beneficial to my community.
