It doesn't matter if the threats have teeth when the billionaire owners agree with trump and comply out of principle

Yeah, it's a thing.

Was always a gimmicky part of speaker software back in the day.

Like, a page in setting was a picture of a generic room and you can drag and drop an icon for the picture to change how 3d sound was displayed.

So you could likely find something like that and co-opt it for headphones.

Search for something like "3d audio setup" or "positioning software".

That being said, this isn't a problem with how you're processing sound. It's more likely an inner ear thing, but it's impossible to say if it's a "problem" or just weird variation. So anything you do with the headphones is just going to compensate for it, not actually solve it.

It's probably also weird watching TV or a screen from an angle either, fixing the inner ear thing would likely solve a lot of stuff for you, especially if you consider yourself clumsy

Really hurts to see...

I remember Hisense popping up ~20 years ago and being an amazing value.

They absolutely dominated the late 1080p source era for dirt cheap screens that held their own again the main brands. Absolutely zero upscaling or features, just decent screens at great prices.

I'm assuming at some point venture capitalist bought them out and that's why they're trying to squeeze ever penny out of customers.

It's not just wealth.

Any isolated social circle will start to exclude everyone else as "them".

It's our brains working as designed.

Even the founders understood this. It's why Representatives were originally so powerful and meant to spend most of their time back in their home districts.

Sending the same people to DC for decades just guarantees the people they represent start to become "them" and other politicians regardless of party become "us".

With insider trading and donor/lobbying system, the politicians are getting rolled up with wealthy as "us".

I've been saying for a while now that we have the tech, reps should be required to spend like 90% of their time in their districts. Have an office, occasionally state level meetups in the capitals, and super rare DC events.

But the bulk of the work can be done via telework.

It doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but it would limit grifter candidates, make reps face their constituents daily, actually understand their issues, and go a long way to making politicians feel like their actually accountable.

There'd be no hiding in a crowd of politicians.

He's too used to countries not falling for sunk cost and being willing to walk away to mitigate further damage...

He killed a literal "supreme leader" and caused a power vacuum where everyone is desperate to establish dominance by showing their feverance to fight what is quite literally a holy war admitted by the three main participants.

Iran isn't going to let this go anytime soon. And US and Israel can't win a war of attrition when we spend 100x the money shooting down what Iran launches. They can keep launch shaed drones from fortified positions in their own territory. They don't even need forward deployment to hit what they've been hitting.

Any attempt to invade will be a modern d-day. Anything crossing the border will see a constant stream of drones, and everyone that gets thru makes it easier for the next.

And the only way to get enough bodies for that futile attempt is a US draft. With Trump's obsession with state voter records, I really wouldn't be surprised to see them try to institute a draft and almost exclusively take Dem voters or any other demographic they don't want.

These days, they'll likely blame AI if anyone questions it.

What's really going to bad is when Trump tries to declare it's over...

Because Iran isn't just going to stop at this point.

I don't think trump realizes that by attacking Iran it gave them all the power in this scenario, they can keep that straight closed as long as they want.

And the whole time we're shooting down sub $1k drones with fucking patriot missiles.

America (and by extension Israel) can't afford to let this drag on. Both our burning thru defense stockpiles, and we just don't have the manufacturing capacity to keep up.

Meanwhile Iran (and more so China) can constantly produce a Black Mirror amount of drone continuously.

There's a very good chance that it leads to Bibi or trump launching a nuke. Most likely trump because he wouldn't care that much if Bibi and Israel got wiped out in response. If Bibi has been blackmailing him, trump would see that as a win-win and absolutely try to claim the glass wasteland.

If you want anyone to give you the benefit of the doubt that you're authentically asking questions, you really need to switch off one of the largest troll instances.

Do you think it is likely for voting to create a difference?

Yes, because I understand our political system...

There is nothing constitutional about the US and how it operates anymore.

You don't seem to even understand the meaning of the words used to describe our political system...

Stop asking rhetorical questions like you're teaching people, start asking real questions so you don't remain ignorant of how society actually works.

Just ask someone else

Buddy...

You didn't have to tell me you didn't understand.

But I feel like you do that a lot, and I really don't want to keep getting notified, because this doesn't seem like a rat occurrence

building something novel and cool is arguably a better use of it than just spending it on luxury goods.

Actually the opposite.

Taking up contractors time on this stuff means less making affordable housing which makes housing less affordable for everyone else.

In general.its happening to our entire economies. Only the wealthiest can afford things, so man hours and resources go into a small amount of luxury products rather than what the masses need.

Raising the prices at all.price points.

This is worse than normal.lixuryngoods, because it doesn't matter what jewelers spend their time on, we all need housing. And that's not even getting into the larger the single price tag the bigger the problem.

Like, there's a whole bunch of reasons this is horrible, even if I'm not explaining them all at once.

The DNC has been draining the "victory fund" that was stolen from the state parties and were a year deep into the largest reinvesture from DNC to state parties everywhere...

That and going back to "fight everywhere" is why we keep flipping special elections.

You don't need to hope, it's already happening.

If you're hoping billionaire owned mainstream media decides to tell you about it tho, you'll be waiting a long time. They're not happy about it, and they're doing a pretty good job of keeping the masses ignorant, there's no reason they'd change course

It comes back to Clinton/biden's 30 year old telecoms act again...

Back in the day they couldn't try this, because it was a huge number of owners.

Now it's a handful of giant corporations owned by political allies, which makes applying pressure easy.

Any opposition from broadcasters is controlled, but eventually the government will ask for more than corps want to give, and they won't have an option.
