• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Earbugld question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones?⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I love wearing IEMs, but I know people struggle with them. Some people’s ears are interestingly shaped which makes iems difficult to use unless you find more specialized eartips. Some people also react almost allergically (or actually allergically, with swelling and all) to silicone eartips, though some also react poorly to hard plastic buds. There are different grades and types of silicone that might cause less of a reaction in your ears, it depends on the kind of aftermarket eartips you get. For me the first few weeks with IEMs caused some amount of pain as my ears adjusted to having something inside, and I don’t think there’s a way to tell when pain is no good and when pain means you can still adjust, but I adjusted and now they’re perfectly comfy. I also got wireless earbuds with silicone eartips late last year, and those still cause some amount of pressure regardless of how they’re inserted into my ears. The plastic housing just doesn’t fit my ears very well, and the nozzle is very shallow compared to wired IEMs. I had a similar thing going on with the airpods pro 2 and another set of chinese wireless buds, so I think that’s a curse that applies to me with a wide variety of wireless earbuds. Just my 2 cents.

  there have also been societies that valued sustainability and closeness to nature, and some still exist. they’re not the ones destroying nature, and it’s not inherent to the human experience to destroy nature.

  sure, but knowing the market for computers and computer parts there’s no way sony will offer a better deal in the next year. also there won’t be many exclusive titles for the ps6, if any, especially not in the first few years.

  recently a friend managed to snag a perfectly fine used ps5 for 200€. i think that’s a really nice price. buying used is just pretty epic for a lot of product categories.

  from what I’ve heard from “genetically modified skeptic” (someone who grew up in an isolated fundamentalist christian community with homeschooling and now has changed and makes youtube videos about his experiences) the indoctrination is so serious and deep that many can’t escape it even as an adult, even with mountains of evidence, even when it would be to their benefit to drop old beliefs, and so i believe it’s not really their fault if they turn out to be hateful and dangerous people. even if they were at fault, i still don’t necessarily want people to die for misguided beliefs. I’m still debating whether that kind of compassion should also work for people like trump, vance, kirk, thiel, musk, etc. but imo it should work for regular religious fanatics.
