DAWs. LMMS is only really functional as introductory software, to see if you like the workflow before you graduate to a paid DAW IMO. Maybe when Audacity introduces the requisite features to be considered a DAW it’ll be better, but that’s at least a decade down the line.

17. I stopped denying that being attracted to femboys was gay.

Really I should’ve recognized I was bi when my first boner to a man was the same year as my first boner period.

I live with my mom and brother. If I could live on my own I would, but this is better than the alternative for any of us.

Mostly I wish that we all had our own bedrooms, that I could do anything without either of them noticing, especially leave (I have perception anxiety and I don’t like being questioned about what I’m doing if I do something unusual.)

More dependent on how much money. $100 is a lot for me in general, so I’ll definitely go out of my way. $20… Maybe, depending how much inconvenience and how much the remaining price is. I’ll never under any circumstance inconvenience myself over less than $5, because I can’t fathom a situation where $5 saves my life. Maybe if my entire family died.

Bruh I was born in 2001, but I’m black enough to tell you that I didn’t think of lynchings as a serious concern until Trump got re-elected. But I’ve never truly been outside Blue territory, so…

I mean yeah but who eats a whole family size bag in a day? I know most people eat more than the serving size, but whole bag in a day?

Hardcore Sonic fan here: It’s not that Sonic fans are hard to please, it’s that it’s a fandom that doesn’t have as strong a sense of consensus as a lot of other fandoms. There’s a few obvious favorites in the series (S3K and SA2 mostly) but even then not to the point where people get to thinking not liking them is objectively wrong (vs., say, Kirby, as someone who likes most of the series but thinks Kirby Super Star is an awful game.) There isn’t really one thing that “every” Sonic fan really wants.

This results in outsider commentary from people who are used to fandoms with strong consensus invoking the Goomba Fallacy all the time.

Hell, I’ll also note that I sometimes see people say that Sonic fans are too easy to please because a lot of us liked something like Frontiers in spite of it’s miryad of flaws.

Honestly I find a lot the people with the worst decorum regarding porn are old

I could go into detail, but the broad strokes are a life where I don’t have to work and live alone, and have active relationships with people who aren’t my immediate family. Also Trumpism is either a distant memory or never happened to begin with.

I’d use the time for creative endeavors.

Very positively as a concept, and negatively as an industry.

Porn shapes my sexual identity more than I’d like, but that’s just the way it is for most people in my life situation. I think I’m a more discerning consumer of most forms of media than others. I hear people talk, in an often-justifiable panic, about how music streaming is changing music listening habits and therefore music. And it’s perplexing to me that people seriously have streaming algorithms as their primary way of music discovery, that they don’t prefer something more manual. I feel the same way about porn, it’s a surprise to me that so many people just accept whatever’s on PornHub’s front page. To that end, when people say their sexual identity is “shaped by porn” I think people are generally thinking they’re into really brutal maledom, raceplay, and incest play. The former two are absolute turnoffs to me, and the latter is something I’m okay with when it’s a part of something I’d actively look for. But I’m like…would I know I’m a bisexual without porn? Would I know I wanted to be a femboy which is why I lost a lot of weight? And I know I wouldn’t know that I’m into something like gentle femdom or lactation.

I basically only seek out amateur stuff. In a vacuum I like the idea of paying for porn, but I worry about where it’s really going; in theory OnlyFans is better but I know that isn’t completely clean either, neither are porn companies claiming to be ethical. And I dislike that OF models sometimes exacerbate the parasocial nature of it for profit. If I buy porn, I don’t want the vendor pretending it’s anything more than me buying a good, but that sells.

I largely believe the current panic about porn addiction to be overblown, and an attempt to exploit male insecurity to get them to vote right wing. I don’t outright believe it doesn’t exist, but it’s in the same sense video games are addictive, not the way crack cocaine is addictive. It’s known that the people who report porn addiction often don’t actually watch an above average amount, they just have the most shame. I do, however, believe you should be able to masturbate without porn, and that relying on porn over an active sexual imagination is a problem.

I could at least see the logic behind a ban on paid, live-action porn, but anti-porn groups generally include hentai in their bans, so I’m certain it’s the same logic as violent video game bans.

all they can about is riling people up emotionally.

Damn, this shit goes all the way to the places where people signed up for boring policy work and can make a difference?

I get why the whole “colorblind” thing ended, but what we replaced it with is even worse.

Lemmy is a website full of people who are left-populists on paper, but hate the population.

The average Lemmite should never be in charge of anything that their IT degree doesn’t qualify them for.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who use “thugs and gangsters” as a euphemism for “black people”

I’d bet money the average working class black American hates actual thugs and gangsters more than most though.

I’m sorry, the notion that the Fediverse has diversity of thought is actually laughable. Not just about politics.

A very specific type of person goes here.

do you think this post is serious

Comic Neue

60% of Lemmy users are that teenager but they’re 35 and still haven’t grown out of it.

So many people here don’t even accept historian consensus that Jesus was a real person
