I’d totally believe that full contact fighting/sparring/boxing (done with newer improved safeguards for preventing CTE) is less harmful to brain health than regularly watching short-form videos on a phone

given how this show is entirely revisionist nostalgia cultural signaling, you have to wonder if these sorts of hiccups are unintentional moments of authenticity

it’s always striking how the lore and narrative of the MGS games is drawn exactly from the conspiracy theories discussed here, yet this still doesn’t seem to be a mainstream cultural discussion (and it’s admittedly not an easy topic to broach given the audiences involved)
Henry Ford accused industrialist and statesman Bernard Baruch of being the secret Jewish dictator of the United States. When reporters asked Baruch for comment he said, "Now, boys, you wouldn't expect me to deny that would you?"

we like to think we're an intelligent and unique species, but most of us don't really come up with anything ourselves. our behaviors are acquired by copying the actions/habits of others, whereas notable intelligence actually conceives or develops new concepts and ideas.

funny thing that has happened three times now:

-I urge them enthusiastically to get a Daking mic pre one (because pushing Daking is evidently my entire personality)
-they get a Focusrite ISA one

the first slot in my 6u 500 series chassis is solder-scorched after 10 years of regular use.
when I bought it (to host these preamps), my intent was to fill the rest of it out as dual channel strips of signal processing. But nothing else I’ve sought since has been available in a 500 format.
