That's not FLAC through a 3.5mm jack. But I digress, I understand that not everyone wants to go through that process.

Why would FLAC through a regular audio jack be better than a CD? It'd definitely be of comparable quality, but the availability of FLAC would be dependent on either buying the digital files from bandcamp (or somewhere similar), ripping the CD, or finding the music via illegal means - which is increasingly difficult today, and FLAC was rarely the format of choice anyhow.

At the end of the day, they'd be the same quality, so the choice on which is preferable would come down to convenience. A CD for a car without an audio jack is convenient.

Is any streaming service offering FLAC yet? I don't think so? "High quality" for Spotify is 320kpbs. Most of the time, I can't tell the difference, but there're a few songs where I do.

bruh

Because I think the people around you deserve to see your true face. You're not a good person though you pretend to be.

Believe what you want. I know the truth and that's all that matters to me.

Some of my classmates even talked about taking the infowars supplements a year or so ago and one of them wished Alex Jones would run for president. Now its a trade school so there are a bunch of maga weirdos but that supplement shit is wild to me

DON'T TRUST THE VACCINE

TRUST BRAINFORCE

I wish I had the energy to have awesome conversations with myself.

What are you selling?

We have 900 Degree pizza where I live so we win.

Congrats! My friend used to send me his dumps that went from the bottom of the bowl to the rim.

I like this gay buff guy that reports on RPGs lol.

No. I worked at a downtown Pharmacy and found the tourists that got off the cruiseships nauseating. Even before the pandemic, it just sounded like a great way to get diarrhea in the middle of the ocean while hanging out with a bunch of overweight Americans.

It's kinda strange that I legally do my drugs now.

I recommend it. These honey oil vape carts are the bomb.

How green is it

it was orange!

Good luck slowing down on drinking or stopping completely. Sounds like stopping completely is probably best for you, and that's extremely beneficial to realize. It's nice not being tired all the time and shitting weird (at least that's what drinking more beer does to me lmao).

My partner and I are going to couples therapy

His wife went on a date of her own. Apparently she had was already talking to someone in secret and this was her chance to tell him. She had pics on her phone and such.

He and I are going out Friday after work, my partner approved.

I finally clicked on this topic, and skipped from reading most of page 1 to page 8, so it was pretty funny watching it go from that to that with nothing in between.

Honestly, I'm less in agreeance with the majority here. I still think the majority opinion is fine and more respectable honestly, but the reality is is that the majority of people are ass at communicating and end up cheating when they are already drifting. I have sex with other adults that are open about their other sexual partners, as am I. Most people are normies that really blow at communicating.

Yummy!

I think I posted one dumb one but I've legit definitely had some of the best memes in these topics. I could name a couple users that post the lamest duds routinely though lmao

I mainly just don't get the Bernie one, and the They/Them one is just dumb. the other ones are fine lol, you were just a bit 50/50 on that page. and I was just being a jerk :p

One thing Ive learned is that when you follow 90% of clearly ridiculous conspiracy theories deeply enough, they end up containing some sort of weird antisemitic belief at their core. Everything from flat eathers to Q Anon. Moral is that Nazis will infiltrate or co-op any and all fringe beliefs and countercultures that will let them, and theyve been trying it from the get go. If the belief or movement lacks critical thought to begin with, the followers will be poorly equipped to stave off this infiltration

Andrew Calleghan has said in interviews that The Flat Earth Conference attendees were by far the most anti-semetic group he's interviewed.

i think we're in satire zone

Just history as a whole.

The point I am making is referring to the fostering of theories regardless of their veracity to create a environment that actual signals are lost to the noise. There are a lot of systemic elements that now have access to god like powers, it doesn't take a global conspiracy when there are (roughly) 300 countries with competing interests, and however many private entities that may have an interest in keeping ears on international matters,(not to mention personal actors out in the cold) all working for their own interests.

It's chaos of human nature coming to a head based off passed decisions that are confirmed public knowledge (intelligence services fostering conspiracy theories to obfuscate potential future leaks)

Doesn't matter, the act of confusion as to the truth is the purpose, that's the conspiracy.

A conspiracy theory contains a cover up of some kind. What exactly is there to cover up about Bigfoot? Same with flat earth for that matter.

All of the self professed 'conspiracy theorists' I've met would suggest that it is Bigfoot themselves being 'covered up'. Same with flat earthers, they think that it's being 'covered up' for whatever reason.

I mean, same with Kody here. He's claiming that...all of our recorded history is a big 'ole cover-up and nothing is as it seems. Maybe he thinks someone more evidence-based like me isn't 'open-minded' to these dumpass 'conspiracies', but I'm super open to examples, which he almost seems satirically intent on withholding.

Bigfoot existing is a conspiracy theory?

obviously? or fiction I guess, depending on your definition of conspiracy theory

But Muscles is right. It's how it is now. If you disagree with tipping, then...don't go out to eat. If things were 'the way they should be' you'd just be paying more for your meal because restaurants are running on a stupidly thin margin, that they take out on on their staff. People expect a 'certain price', and balk when it's raised due to inflation and to pay staff accordingly. Restaurant pay culture in North America fucking blows. I'm still going to tip well when I go out so that the bloody staff can enjoy living a slightly less depraved life.

Shame on the place, but shame on customers that 'refuse to buy into tipping' while buying fucking restaurant food for being just as callous towards those employees as the owners.

sasquatches can suck my balls

is what I'm trying to say

Also by design; and don't limit yourself to domestic LEO's and intelligence. There is a lot of human level incompetence to go around, but there are many examples of global networks that benefit from the current environment of information overload and mistrust in institutions.

The CIA/FBI are easy to point to because they have admitted to doing such in the past; there are operations still happening right now, regardless of attribution.

Eh, this is getting a little too...conspiratorial to me. All of that dumbass banter on alternative media is...by design? No, that's going into the human incompetence bin, thanks.

A little light on the examples in your response, happy to hear you name some. and not just saying "Blackrock", we're needing real examples with evidence.

Like with the Pentagon example (which you didn't bring up, fairly), there is too much counter-evidence and 0 evidence for the plane not crashing there. It's a crappy conspiracy theory. If someone had postulated in the early 80s that the USA was selling Iran weaponry while they were saying they weren't, then there would be evidence to point to. When it came out a few years later, there was evidence. What conspiracies are currently floated that have evidence and rely on a vast 'by-design' global network?

KodyKeir posted...

That's the point, to the CIA, (and other intelligence agencies) there is no difference, it is intentional to lose things in the static and discredit leaks

The CIA is barely capable of keeping their shit under wraps for 5 years. They do not have the capability to pull off some of the things that people claim they do. Examples I can think of include 9/11, killing JFK, faking the moon landing, 'doing a coup' in Ukraine in 2014 (plus upon examining this example, it is very fragile), trying to overthrow Syria (only people with hardons for Russia and Assad do this), and doing Jan 6th. There are a lot more that alternative media constantly regurgitates, but I find most of the claims of CIA/FBI conspiracies extremely sensational. If you have any that you think are plausible, I'm down to hear you out though, of course. I am just very hardcore with this because I lived with an extreme conspiracy theorist for 2 years and all he consumed was conspiracy content. I went down a lot of rabbitholes researching them.

Iran Contra

Before it was public knowledge, it was a "conspiracy theory"; the CIA actively promotes them as part of cointelpro (the doctrine of, not the actual FBI op)

Yeah, sorry, I didn't parse the difference between actual conspiracies and conspiracy theories.

also, I think this is pertinent. it wasn't exactly a 'conspiracy theory' in the sense that random people were postulating that this was occurring. it was something that 'came out' within a span of less than 5 years.

In the spring of 1983, the United States launched Operation Staunch, a wide-ranging diplomatic effort to persuade other nations all over the world not to sell arms or spare parts for weapons to Iran. This was at least part of the reason the IranContra affair proved so humiliating for the United States when the story first broke in November 1986 that the U.S. itself was selling arms to Iran.

It wasn't 'random people' making up weird-ass theories that found this stuff out. It broke because real people reported real things. If we look at the majority of real people involved in the plane crashing into the Pentagon, we get a very clear image of what happened.

Then why are so many flat earth documentaries funded by predominantly christian forward organizations?

Also, it doesn't say that. But, that doesn't mean that it's a belief among people that the bible does say the earth is flat.

Hell, how many people have you seen talk about "Bibically Accurate Angels" and are referencing The Book of Enoch, which (basically) every christian church has excluded from their canon? That's not from the bible people have read, people just assumed it did and moved on.

What exists vs what people assume exists are very different things when it comes to the bible.

Fundamentalist Christians and Flat Earthers just tend to coalesce because they are equally braindead.

OhhhJa posted...

But just because one or even most conspiracy theories are bs doesn't mean all of them are unfounded. For instance, I think conspiracy theories surrounding the pentagon being hit have some credibility

They don't. Any dumb fucking conspiracy theory anyone brings up is literally garbage. The Pentagon Conspiracies are abject trash. As are the Tower 7 theories, no clue if you're thick enough to believe those ones.

nope

started paying into my employer's stock buy-in program. I work for a national telecommunications company so I'm pretty jazzed.
