I love sound engineering and design as a whole. Music production was what got me into it. It’s still mind boggling to me how much you can do with a simple sine wave and process it into essentially unlimited amounts of various sounds.

I never knew a thing about music theory, synthesizers, drum machines, etc. Almost 7 years down this path and I’m still learning as I go and just as curious as when I first started.

Seeing different instruments through an oscilloscope or watching the different frequencies dance as a whole on an EQ plugin is my favorite.

I think it could go both ways. Another commenter mentioned the younger generation being used to things just working. You pull it out of the box, power on, good to go. When it comes to troubleshooting, that’s where they seem to fall behind.

On a other note, I have a friend that is the same age as me, grew up with pretty similar upbringing. He’s the type that if it doesn’t work then it’s not worth using. Couldn’t get a Bluetooth speaker to connect to a computer so he got frustrated and played without sound.

I think it will really just depend on what that specific person was exposed to. Admittedly, there has been a few times I got confused at a card reader. I’m used to swiping or inserting the chip. Some card readers are the touch and go and it took me a few minutes to realize it was scan and go.

Driver chose to drive, therefore taking the responsibility of not only their life in their hands, but others on the road as well. Yes, you blame the driver. Because the driver also made the choice to drive the vehicle, then chose to check their cell phone and cause an accident. It’s just responsibility at that point.

It’s not vehicles, it’s people. Cars are safer than they’ve ever been. People in general, just choose to not be responsible. And that’s the reality of it.

Don’t get me wrong, vehicles in general are dangerous in the fact that they are basically rolling hunks of metal with combustibles.

At the end of the day though, it’s just that most people aren’t willing to admit to themselves that they shouldn’t be driving because they’re too easily distracted in the first place.

Responsibility and self awareness. Put the phone down, don’t eat and drive, put your music on before you put the car in drive. It’s not rocket science.

No it doesn’t lol. You need an operator for a car to function. Cars just don’t go driving around running into people and random objects. If you get into an accident, who do they go after? The at fault driver. Not the car. It wasn’t the vehicles fault it got into an accident. It was the person operating said vehicle.

Operator error.

Edit: I’m starting to think most people here just don’t want to take responsibility for being stupid. Downvote all you want, drivers in cars kill people, not the car itself.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. You’re not wrong. It’s the operator. If people actually drove responsibly, we probably wouldn’t have as many issues. There are definitely too many distractions, and people in general just naturally mind wander.

That being said, it would be much better to have a mass transit system. Less accidents, I can watch my phone, do my nails, and eat my mcdonald’s without worry of killing someone.

Definitely an American thing. Can confirm. Am American and not proud of this shit. It’s disgusting the way our homeless are treated.

We hungry!

Not downvotes, but I have noticed that some of my comments are either being deleted or hidden?

Either it’s an issue on Lemmys end, or we got Spez wanna be mods in here deleting shit they don’t like or disagree with.

I’d prefer to just eat them. I’ve been hungry for too long now.

Another bar soap user. And they don’t smell bad. Not sure what you’ve tried. Liquid body soap feels like it leaves a layer on my skin. Bar soap doesn’t do that.

Btw, your liquid soap is more watered down than a bar of soap. And bars are less expensive.

As someone who lives here, I have more and more desire to leave.

Why even wear pants? Might as well have left them at home. Unless the pants are an accessory for the belt.
