A pontiff or any religious leader can say anything they want, but obviously if you wade into political waters, I think you should expect some political response and I think the pope has received some of that.

The actual quote.

Thanks! Just passing on what I’ve learned before!

So I can’t be gay if I’m the one sucking dick?

That’s… not how you wear a diaper.

I use the custom search range on DDG. I just leave the date the same and set the years to 2000-2020. Before AI slop was most of the internet.

Yes, and telling people that are addicted to things engineered to be especially addictive to just stop and telling them why they should is an actually effective strategy…

“Being secretly recorded by smart glasses is the same as being recorded on a smartphone” is a really dumb take.

Peter Thiel is trying to buy himself a papacy.

There are links to Britebart and fucking Newsmax in there and you’re posting that stupid link everywhere.

Stop being a moron.

Read the article.

One of our colleagues, Keith Ervin, made a grossly inappropriate comment toward our student Board member.

The student was a member of the board. That’s why they were up there next to the creep.

What about those of us sympathizing with the Iranian people?

This is a shit take. It’s not one or the other with spaceflight and curing diseases.

Obviously the ones actually doing the horrible things are the bigger problem.

Yes, I am aware that studio monitors (other than NS10Ms, lol) have a flat response and that albums are mixed primarily on studio monitors. But the people mixing those albums aren’t mixing them to be listened to on studio monitors. There using their extensive knowledge to make that album sound its best how most people will be listening to it. Taking into account people listening in their car, on their phones, on their laptop speakers, headphones, air pods, home stereos, fucking TVs, etc.

No engineer worth their salt will be mixing an album to be listened to on studio monitors because that’s not how normal people listen to music.

Edited to add: However, the point I kind of lost is people should listen however they want. I used to listen to albums that I knew very well on my monitors to get to know the speakers.

It absolutely is not. Albums aren’t mixed to be listened to on studio monitors, they are mixed to sound good on consumer grade speakers because that’s where people listen to music. Nowadays if you’re listening on air pods that’s probably the way it was meant to be listened to.

This is not ID checks.

Did you read the announcement? This has nothing to do with identification.

And yet you’re commenting on it… ;)

You would have known that if you had read the article.
