  1. The virus, its mutating.
  2. Everyone so eager to pounce on the thing that validates existing views. HE'S ANTIFA! HE'S GROYPER!
  3. Fuck you for making me aware of what #MomTalk is.
  4. Correct, not overt. Its not so much that oh, there would be a neon MORMON sign over the mantle as all the pictures of families engaged in activities would show activities provided through the church. They would be talking about their kid's mission, their work for the church, their kid's baptism, social functions and sports leagues, all organized by their church. If you are a mormon in Utah, you're a mormon in Utah. You aren't just a casual member of that church. Your life is centered around it.
  5. Yeah, other thing I saw in her FB feed was one post where she was praising Tyler (the dude in custody) for his 4.0 GPA.
  6. No religion in Utah is sorta significant. It means you are a minority and isolated (not intentionally, but just because the mormon to your left and right is involved in their church 5 evenings a week). We lived in SLC city a couple years when our kids were young, I felt more isolated there in a suburb of densely packed houses than I do in a town population 173.
  7. That kid could be either super far left or right of center in Utah.
  8. I agree. Someone in the king's court was assassinated. If he can't administer justice for that, it kind of undermines his shadow of power and authority. He was always going to be directly involved as a figurehead.
  9. I wish Charlie Kirk were alive. I wish he was less divisive when he was alive. I wish people would eschew being radicalized to political violence, whether they are drawn to it from the left or right. I wish there wasn't a machine that has been erected to mass produce them. I wish we had leaders who were more intent on fixing vs exploiting -- maybe even engineering -- our problems. I wish the people who are using this sad event as a platform for moral or ideological oneupmanship could see they are part of the problem, again, whether they are drawn to it from the right or left. I wish everyone would calm the fuck down, focus on their proximal lives and concentrate on the shit they can directly control, affect and make better. I wish I had taken my own advice sooner. I wish Charlie Kirk had, too. I wish Charlie Kirk's daughters had their dad. I wish the dad's of the kids shot at the Catholic school in Minneapolis 2 weeks ago and the public school in Evergreen, CO yesterday had their kids. I wish this world was worthy of my own kids. That is all.
  10. This 100%. This is how you become what they say you are.
  11. Assuming that is true, what are you going to do with that knowledge? Like, are you someone with expertise and authority to be in a position to do anything about it? Or are you just a dude who likes to watch YouTube about UAP? And if it's really an internal technology that we possess but have been keeping quiet, how is it in our best interests to advertise our otherworldly amazeballs technology to the world? The government holds secrets all the time. Rightfully so. We don't release nuclear secrets because someone feels it's their right to know and screams about it on YouTube or in congress. Which also undermines that there is this vast government conspiracy to keep you (as important to the balance of the world as you apparently are) in the dark. When real secrets have been leaked, like how to make nukes to the USSR, the people doing the leaking weren't free to just keep posting YouTube videos about it. They were executed.
  12. Do you believe the government is engaged in a conspiracy to withhold information from the public about aliens and/or how we are outclassed technologically by some unknown entity?
  13. I don't know, but odds are one of these guys does. Vs this guy Only in 'Murica does "a technology greater than our own" automatically equate to "it must be aliens". That we seem to be mostly focused on government hearings where the government complains about the government's conspiracy to hide these videos at the same time the government is showing the videos publicly makes me think its more about political theater, misdirection and/or grift than actually trying to ascertain what that technology is and who is behind it. "I'm not going to explain it to you, just watch. DID YOU SEE THAT?! It was hit by a HELLFIRE missle! DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID?! HELL!! AND FIRE! THATS FUCKING HOT HOT! AND IT KEPT ON GOING!"
  14. Neville Chamberlain had orders of magnitude more balls than the leadership of today's Democratic Party. The party is laying their prostrate, legs spread, waiting for someone to grab it by the metaphorical pussy and make it their own, like the GOP was when Trump came along. I know there are some signs of life in individuals like Newsom, the NYC mayor candidate and the Illinois guvnah, but Jesus, one of those dudes needs to call a press conference and announce that they are calling for a vote of no confidence in Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries and the DNC chair (whoever the fuck that worthless piece of shit is). I don't care if such a thing doesn't exist in American politics. Do it anyway to force the issue. Democrats need to have their own internal reckoning before they can hope to introduce a reckoning for the GOP, so... Chop chop. Time's up.
  15. It’s part of the cultural zeitgeist at this point to be an abject asshole challenging societal norms.
  16. How would you ever know? 😜
  17. I might understand how egregious this is if I knew who the hell James Blunt and Tal Bachman were.
  18. Also, he seems to be getting pretty desperate for someone to take his big city, blue state civil conflict bait. I guess its harder to justify suspending midterm elections if voters are just going about their lives ignoring him.
  19. The white supremacist billionaire's dilemma:
  20. Nope, just a happy side effect of getting it to all work together. Better to be lucky than good, etc... etc...
  21. Yeah, it actually sounds pretty good now on shitty speakers. One of the things I've come to rely on for mixing in my much less than ideal monitoring space is a plugin that makes your headphones have a response like a professional studio monitoring room. https://www.waves.com/plugins/cla-nx I've found that helps an awful lot when paired with a decent set of supported headphones. Its got 3 sets of monitors modeled from CLA's studio, one of which is just a shitty boombox. Its really nice to change between 3 sets of monitors in the software and cover lots of listening scenarios. I'm not tweaking a mix, bouncing it down, then listening it on my laptop speakers, phone speaker, car speakers, etc... I mean, I still do that, but once I get it good using all the monitors in this plugin, I find it pretty much sounds good on all the other listening scenarios, too. There's much less iterating needed.
  22. Thanks, yeah, I think it works as an editorial choice for effect/evocation like you describe, but my initial mixes, it all sounded like crunchy mush. In the end, I just really narrowed the eq band for the vocals and the solo has a somewhat wider band in the same area, but I notched it significantly where the vocals are present. So the solo kind of brackets the vocals frequency wise with the sum of them being a whole lot of mids/upper mids. A sorta unintentional side effect of the narrow EQ band on the outro vox is that it kinda sounds like an AM radio, which I think leans into the vibe of the song. The outro vox and guitar solo are panned left & right a bit, too, so they aren't right on top of each other. Another tricky part of the outro was the bass line, which starts down low around D1 and winds up at G3. So it is spanning some frequency lanes for the other instrumentation. I have it EQed more like a guitar and bring in some synth bass to hold the low end down as the bass line starts getting away from the lower register around where the vocal riffing comes in.
