  • Old person traits

    Jump

  • That's a fact, not an opinion that implies contempt, prejudice or a hatred of women.

    You can try to deny millions of years of evolution if you want.

    People don't like to admit it, but despite all the advantages of our modern society, our DNA is essentially unchanged from when we were all cavemen.

    If you were a cave woman and you had the option of two cavemen who are essentially identical except for that one makes a successful hunt everyday and the other only makes a successful hunt every week. Who would you choose to help you raise a family? And vice versa, if you were the caveman and you knew that women were selective of men based upon who can provide well for the raising of children, would you want to be making a successful hunt daily, or weekly?

    We can cry about how unfair it is, but the vast majority of women today, whether they want to admit it or not, absolutely consider economic status as something to weigh up when selecting a partner, men do also consider this, but not nearly to the same extent. Please don't misinterpret anything I'm saying here as resentful or hateful, it's not it's life, you can choose not to accept this, but it doesn't change the facts.

    Inb4, yh but we're not cavemen any more. I've already addressed that.

  • I'm not opposed to having a well-off working wife and being a stay at home dad, so all these accusations of mysogany when I'm just trying to talk about making work pay like it used to is rather tiresome.

    Yes, I wrote using a traditional family model as an example, sorry it triggered you so much.

  • It kind of sucks that I wrote a comment about making work pay like it used to and people are arguing about whether I'm a mysoganist that wants women back in the kitchen.

  • I understand it from the women's point of view and I didn't mean to be mysoganistic in any form, but it is in the DNA of men to want to be a good provider and I think, if you're being honest, that many women look for that as an attractive trait in a male partner.

  • The fact that one working man could support his whole family just a few decades ago didn't mean women shouldn't, couldn't or didn't work, just that they didn't have to.

  • Wanting to support your family is sexist in 2024 /s

  • My old person trait is a belief that anyone that works full time should be able to aspire to own their own home, support their wife and kids and still have a little left over to save at the end of the month.

    Edit: It kind of sucks that I wrote a comment about making work pay like it used to and people are arguing about whether I'm a mysoganist that wants women back in the kitchen. (I'm not, I'm happy for women to work as much as they want too, it'd just be nice for double income homes to be doing it out of choice and thriving because of it, rather than having to do it out of necessity.)

  • Vinyl records outsell CDs for the second year running

    Jump

  • Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out

    Edit: It needed me to sign up with an email address and I saw it had in app purchases that put me off a bit. But when looking for that app I found Musicolet which looks pretty perfect, just a simple ad free music playing app without all the bollocks!

  • Pupil behaviour 'getting worse' at schools in England, say teachers

    Jump

  • I somewhat agree.

    It is a real phenomena, but a random assortment of afflictments post COVID with no real test to prove that someone does or doesn't have it is pretty unhelpful.

    I'll remain sceptical of long COVID until we have hard science that can explain the causes and effects.

  • Pupil behaviour 'getting worse' at schools in England, say teachers

    Jump

  • This is almost certainly Covid.

    I think there are so many possible factors and that "it's long COVID" is not just hysteria but entirely unhelpful.

  • I liked Google play too. I was not pleased when they moved to YouTube music and made accessing your own music a total pain in the balls.

  • They're absolutely objectively worse from an audio stand point.

    I agree that they give you a different listening experience, which is subjective.

  • Retro sound of a CD?

    They sound exactly the same as the digital releases. Only audiophiles up there own arses believe that they can hear a difference. Vinyls sound different but for obvious reasons.

  • I agree that some cases are brittle but I've not seen a disc get fucked since I was a kid, when I couldn't be bothered to put them back in the case.

  • I'd buy the vinyl as a collectors item, but the CD to upload on to my phone.

  • I view vinyls as collectors items, not something you actually listen to. I still buy CDs because I hate the idea of subscription services.

  • I hate subscription services, for the cost of a Spotify subscription I can but one or two CD albums a month.

    I buy a vinyl here or there but just to collect. I listen to my CDs.

  • The only vinyls I buy are from charity shops or because I love an album so much that I want it as a collection (I'd also buy the CD to actually listen to)

  • Keep kidding yourself that you can hear the difference.

    Vinyls have their appeal but they get dusty, scratched, they skip etc. Only snobs truly think that they sound better.

    Digital music can be taken as easily as it can be given.

    CDs are the best compromise. They have sound quality as good as digital but you also get the lyrics and artwork that come with a vinyl, they're also much easier to store. The best thing though, is that if I get bored of a CD, I can sell it or even just give it away for free, you can't do that with digital music.
