The real reason the is no sych thing as an objectively bad person is because good/bad is non-imperical and therefore unguagable.
Not because of some appeal to nature.
However, the appeal to nature holds stock in certain instances of human behavior, such as diet and an array of other lifestyle choices, because we have many imperical ways of measuring the style of life which any organism should lead.

I came in here expecting something sadder
but then realized we were talking a bout the massive raisins
also, DUH they're sweet as fuck
where did you think the sugar was gonna go after the water evaporated?
sliced dried fruit generally leaks more sugar but this bitch is dried whole
there's nowhere for that sugar to go
you're just eating cellulose and sugar at that point

You know it's illegal to not give you a break right?
I don't think I've ever had a foodservice job with a breaktime.
It's slave work.
Breaks are for retail and office jobs. and who the FUCK do you think is gonna pay for a lawsuit?

I used to work in the food industry, I relived my stress by transferring out of it (even if where I transferred to was even shittier).
Work in the food industry. Only way you can catch a fucking break.
I can't remember precisely why I started smoking but I'm sure weed had a lot too do with it.

Desticles have been trying to buy Mythic accounts for years. Didn't think they were this thirsty for Halo accounts since it's possible to attach somebody's available gamer tag to your profile anyway.
Why the fuck do cunts want to appear OG to that piece of shit community anyway? The biggest/only appeal to being an active member from the earlier Bungie days in the first place, is to have experienced a really fucking special developer and social yet drama filled community where cunts actually mingled. Nobody who matters gives a fuck about the number next to your account being big beyond a "huh, that's neat i guess" factor.
I just hit seven years and honestly I see it as more a detraction than a boon. It just makes it hard for you to connect with desticles because they know you're from the past.

the difference between news media and you being that they generally give some form of evidence to back up their claims and you just say this happened because i said this happened
like i'm not even asking for much proof here since a top trending twitter hashtag would have even been enough
(((evidence)))
seriously, how much evidence does it take support the statement that there are conservatives all over the country who respect the office of president enough to tell people to blow it out their ass when they talked about killing obama
i never said there weren't. i said there wasn't the same kind of outrage over the obama hangings and burnings that there were over this literal whos dumb photoshoot.
and I stated there was vocal recourse in a public manner I'm not sure I qualified it as an equivocal reaction, merely that they did, and do react. this is the margin vs buffer argument all over again

still wondering why conservatives weren't outraged when stuff like this came up during the obama administration
they were
source: I live around a lot of rednecks with bumper stickers and paint on their trucks talking about killing obama and people like WWII vets and younger, more level headed (and frankly better educated) conservatives in the area would often vocally and publicly berate them for their disrespect.
of course FOX NEWS never covered it though, what do you expect?
Information that is fair, and at the same time, is somehow balanced?
a couple people in your hometown are irrelevant. it's obvious i'm talking about something larger than just a few scattered individuals
Clearly this sentiment is neither isolated nor unique to one town.
the lack of any kind of media (traditional or otherwise) outrage tells me that the condemnation of those acts wasn't as wide spread as you believe.
based on samples from varied conservative communities in a selection of southern states including Florida, Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas that I spent time in during the Obama presidency and witnessed this phenomenon I'd say human decency isn't a completely radical concept.
But hey, that may sound nuts to a liberal.
your argument is pretty much the equivalent to the invisible intangible pink elephant. the only proof you have that it was widespread and common is your word that it was there. you even admitted yourself that conservative media and leaders didn't comment on it and they would have if there was a noticeable public outrage over these acts in the conservative community. they wouldn't want to jeopardize their sheckles/chances at reelection after all.
At some level every account is a firsthand account, and therefore the forensic idea that eyewitnesses are the least reliable form of evidence does not apply to broader anthropological studies or journalism, and in fact makes the firsthand account a mainstay of journalism in sharp contrast the heavily publicized sentiment that witnesses are unreliable.
that's nice, but you could at least give me some tangible evidence for this elephant of yours
Tangible evidence or what is considered 'hard proof' is largely irrelevant outside of the advent of photojournalism. Even then, misconstrual of evidence often so vague as a photograph blurs lines of true and false without an accompanying account from the witness (ie: the photographer). Corroboration is the only sure method of verification. So sure I could call up my old running buddy and ask him to tell you about the elderly gentleman at mcdonald's in the MAGA hat who yelled at a guy who hooted in agreement with the sentiment professed by the hat and then turned to his friend and made a grim remark about how he'd like to get rid of Obama sooner and would take the matter into his own hands if need be, at which point the older man demanded he show respect for the incumbent of the highest office in the world, but that would require me to bring him here. Ultimately, since we're looking at this from the point of view of the media, I can generate a quote from him on my own and claim he said it to me when I asked him to confirm my account. If I had a television show the account I created on his behalf without his knowledge would be considered a fact, (heck, my the friend I credit isn't even real, who gives a shit) and would be widely accepted, and even if it was later proven to false a strong sentiment believing that this person exists and confirmed my story would remain. In other words if you can't accept that someone who contrasts you may have a point then you definitely shouldn't believe anything you see on the news.

So in Recap, my recommendations are:
•Bose qc25 - quietness
•Sennheiser HD558 - sound quality
•Earin - portability
•v4ink Teana - runner up in portability, but easier to use than Earin
•Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless - excels in all categories, but also most expensive
Thanks for the advice. I appreciate the detail you put into this. My response would be that:
The qc25 feel very cheap to me, sound quite poor without noise cancellation, only have music/call control with the cable plugged in and are quite a bit more expensive.
I already have Sennheiser's 598's and they provide (to my knowledge) better sound quality than the 558's. Neither of them are very portable though, and that's what I'm going for now.
Looking for headphones rather than earbuds this time around. The Earin ones look pretty neat, but they lack connectivity as you said. I need to be able to go wired as well and use them with, for example, the TV's on planes or other devices (laptop/TV) that don't have Bluetooth. Never heard of the Teana's before. They look decent too, but again lack some features I want.
And the Momentum 2.0's are too much for me to spend on this.
I've been looking around and haven't seen anything that beats the ones I'm looking at now. I'm seeing nothing but great reviews and they meet all my requirements at a very attractive price. I want headphones that let me noise cancel when necessary (I travel a lot for work these days) but also turn the feature off otherwise (to wear in public / on a bike to stay aware of traffic). I want them to be durable, portable and provide great audio quality. They need to be wireless but with the option of going wired and connecting to any standard 3.5 mm jack, and they need to let me take calls, change volume and change between songs on the fly. And at €195, I don't think I'll find any better.
Yeah the 598 is a superior product to the 558, but seemed a little pricey considering the other selections on the list are all under $200, save the Momentum 2.0. Honestly, having read your more fleshed-out list of desires it seems to me that you're going to have to sacrifice a little sound quality or move your price range up to the €350 area. The Sennheiser 4.00 series is just an reskin of the old 400 series. All of the core components remain unchanged. They tossed a few new features in and upped the quality of construction for the casing, but are still bound to the limitations the 400 series experienced, which very quickly drove the price of every product in the series down from €150-200 range to around €55-70, then into complete discontinuation. Since selling off some of their surplus the price has started going back up, but that doesn't excuse the problems that led people to refuse to buy them. If you're okay with sound quality that varies noticeably between devices and inconsistently going from decent to shit to good sound depending on a wide number of factors, then they're your hail mary, reaching out from what more expensive sets offer to touch the price range you want to live at. But they likely won't work well with lower end cell phones, are usually built mainly for use with apple products, and on a PC may deliver sound anywhere from thin and tinny, to unreasonably burly and without nuance. But I'm on a rant again. I just really, really, really don't think it's going to be as good of a product in the long run as it might seem to be in the store.

« on: June 03, 2017, 05:22:59 PM »
not at home rn but I'll describe it
I got a 24" 1080p monitor and a 4:3 monitor to the left of that forget the specs.
It goes out to a 4k 55" TV on the wall to the right that site behind the desk as well.
Opposite the TV is a couch, where I sit to play games.
Got a big ass subwoofer beneath my desk and 4 speakers on the desktop.
Also beneath the desk is my PC, when I finish the rig I'm working on now I'm putting it on top in the corner up against the right wall.
Also replacing monitors when I finish the new rig with a set of three curved 24" monitors forming one big curve.

bose is mediocre but they have the best noise cancelling tech bar none if you absolutely need it
if you want something portable with good isolation, get ciems that mold to your ears
they can get very expensive
if not, just get a good pair of iems with foam tips
any offering for over-ears/on-ears wont do as good as job for sound quality as any half decent iem for the same price
a good iem seal is comfortable, silent and firm when you try to move it
Going to expand on this. If you buy iems, don't just dick around. You're going to spend top dollar no matter where you go, so you may as well go all out and order something from ultimate ears. Don't fall for the Noble Audio meme, you're going to pay €1850 for a pair of ciems that have excellent cancellation and are hands down more gorgeous than any other audio device you will ever own, but the sound quality is only barely better than some €100 jogger's headphones. But absolutely everything UE makes is ridiculously good, and you don't need to drop €1000 to get it either. Usually buying iems on the cheap side is a bad idea, I know fender has put out some laughable products in their day, and at a certain point you're just buying earbuds that look like iems, and are seldom worth even whatever meager amount you did end up spending. However, the UE 900s go for just €355 and offer the same absolutely PERFECT FUCKING SOUND as the ciems that have made Ultimate Ears an institution in the music industry, and while they may not have that perfect zero noise cancellation ciems offer, they do come with nine different interchangeable sets of buds to make sure your fit is as close to perfect as you can get. This is all after the fact, however, that you have left the range of casual listening. Ultimately, despite how praiseworthy higher end iems and ciems are, they're still just that: higher end. If you're not completely serious about changing the way you listen to music forever, you should never spend more than €200, unless it's on a pair of completely decked out over ear headphones that are jam-packed with features, high durability, easy to use, etc. You spend more on something like that for what it offers beyond just the raw audio quality, not because you have transcended consumerism and are pursuing audible nirvana. /rant Do shop ultimate ears if you want a portable speaker though, they're affordable and the sound is infuriatingly good for the tiny package it comes out of.

If it's quiet you want, get something from the bose quietcomfort series.
My personal recommendation is qc25.
Features removable cord and noise cancellation that can be turned on and off, and factory refurbished models go for under $200
If your highest concern is raw audio quality, then Sennheiser is a great choice.
I don't recommend that set you've picked out, as it basically recycles the outdated HD419 cans, which do offer superior sound, but only at the $60 range.
You're better off with their HD558.
An excellent middle ground between the two, but sacrificing affordability, is Sennheiser's Momentum Wireless 2.0
Features bluetooth, active noise cancellation, and the crisp, powerful sound. Sennheiser is known for.
As far as portability is concerned, Earin makes a great product with excellent sound quality, but battery life is significantly short, as low as 2.5 hours, and destined to get below 2 hours after the first year of use. They also suffer some very major connectivity problems and become almost unusable during exercise.
My preferred alternative is v4ink's Teana headphones. Also true wireless, with fewer connectivity issues, and a simpler connection format, they beat Earin in a lot of categories.
The audio quality itself is very slightly muddled, but the product does come with a few sets of adjustable rubber ear molds to attempt to achieve more comfortable fit and a degree of noise cancellation. Although, these molds can be difficult to use.
As long as you don't keep your phone in your front pocket you shouldn't have any of the trouble Earin suffers from, and the battery life is twice as long, or even longer. The charge sometimes lasts as long as six hours of use.
However, they're slightly less portable and rather clunky if you carry them on their charging base in your pocket, where earin's sleek charging case can effortlessly and nonintrusively join your EDC.
All in all, it's a shockingly good product to come from a company best known for their quality printer ink and cartridges.
Almost like buying a television made by Kodak.
So in Recap, my recommendations are:
•Bose qc25 - quietness
•Sennheiser HD558 - sound quality
•Earin - portability
•v4ink Teana - runner up in portability, but easier to use than Earin
•Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless - excels in all categories, but also most expensive

there are millions of athletes and only a small handful of them will ever experience the joy of winning losing is a good thing
Not when people drive themselves into depression over it.
When I was a sophomore in high school, there was a star athlete—captain of the football team, actually—who carried his team all the way to the state championships, becoming a hero of the entire school—and then he lost.
How do you think he reacted?
Well, he didn't train harder. He didn't tell himself "better luck next year."
He killed himself.
If that's the sort of situation that people put themselves in after losing a stupid game of football, I'm always going to be ardently opposed to its existence, and no one is ever going to change my mind.
if he was stretched so mentally thin by the idea of training harder and getting better, and he couldn't think of anything else he wanted to live for, then his training was over that's what I mean by body and mind, it takes both he reached his mental limit, and without any other ambitions he was useless it was time for him to kill himself anyway
