This is meant to piss off me in particular. Something being obnoxiously loud is mostly a side effect of other stuff that is way too quiet requiring you to turn up the volume to hear it at a normal level. Unless you’re mastering specifically for theaters your dynamic range should not be ’ barely audible’ to ‘hearing loss’ it should be ‘softer’ to ‘louder’.

If compressors were as ubiquitous as volume controls instead of being a moderate pain in the ass to get working on most things this wouldn’t be a problem that needs a bandaid solution.

Oh ok I guess nobody has ever won a war because war is bad and even the winners take casualties. Very strong arguments you’ve presented of ‘no lol’, acting smug, and having your own bespoke definition of winning a war.

Thank god biden put a 100% tariff on chinese EVs so that this wouldn’t happen here.

20 years? The US ousted the ba’athist government in less than a month and installed a sympathetic regime in less than two years. Even a pyrrhic victory is still a victory. The US got what it wanted geopolitically and the government they waged war against was ousted. That’s a victory.

It was costly, unjustified, evil, and probably not even worth it from the cold math of empire but it was still a military victory.

Ok so you can’t win a war if it wasn’t clean and easy? And since when has the publicly stated justification for a war ever had anything to do with who won? Lots of wars start with false justifications.

Do you think Saddam’s government won? The US won the war with Iraq if not the war with the insurgency.

Tell that to Saddam and Gaddafi.

lol the downvote. Did those governments that no longer exist actually win the wars that caused them to cease existing?

*this doesn’t mean they were good or justified. If anyone thinks I implied or said that you need to learn how to read.

Because ~90% of people don’t actually think about morality deeper than ‘gross, icky.’ If that seems high I’m also including in that people who start with the reaction and work backwards looking for justifications.

Good, hope it’s lonely. Die alone, bigot.

Vote score on this comment really proving the point that this type of moderation is necessary. If you don’t want a community in your feed block it, it is not everyone else’s responsibility to cater to the hivemind.

I’m guilty of it too but most people living paycheck to paycheck could avoid it. Bottom thirdish is definitely stuck in the poverty trap but most could cut their expenses if they tried.
