Do apes give birth to chimpanzees?
  • Your comment spawned a delightful train of thought where I imagined all the other fish trying, and failing, to successfully fuck before these two fish stumbled on how to do it.

  • Autism Sneaks
  • There are a lot of reasons, but I think this article does a good job of listing the main criticisms: https://www.themarysue.com/the-autism-speaks-controversy-explained/

    But in a nutshell:

    • They frame autism as a disease that needs curing
    • None of their board members are autistic
    • They spread fear and misinformation about autism
    • As a charity, embarrassingly little of their money goes to actually doing anything for autistic people
  • All My Homies Love White Freckles, but They All Hate Ariel Pink
  • I've always thought "separate the art from the artist" should be a conversation, not a hard and fast rule. I've never heard White Freckles so I don't really have an opinion on this. But if the track is meaningful and brings beauty to people's lives, that's valid despite the artist being a piece of shit.

    There are some artists where I feel the artist's behaviour does not outweigh the impact of their work on my life, for example Eric Clapton, but there are other artists where I feel their work stands up despite the artist's actions (Prince, David Bowie).

  • Novembre - Materia (2006) [progressive/atmospheric metal]

    This is one of my favourite albums. It's a bit of an odd one out in Novembre's discography: it's generally a bit softer, it features mostly clean vocals, and it generally sounds quite upbeat.

    The standout track for me is Jules: it balances a melodic tenderness with an outro that makes you want to headbang and cry out with joy all at the same time. The whole album gives me a distinctly summery vibe: lazy days, the feeling of life stretching out ahead of you... all the possibilities it brings.

    This album will always hold a special place for me.

    'Safe' Metal Bands and a campaign I'm part of
  • It's really good to see this. As a long-time metalhead who will never tolerate fascism and bigotry in this scene or anywhere else, I'm always enthused to see others push back against that bullshit too.

    I found out about this band through to Poema Arcanus, another Chilean death-doom band. They've got a great melancholic sound to them.

    I can't praise this album highly enough. Even 20 years after first hearing it, I still find something new to appreciate in it.

    This album really landed for me when it came out. I was an angsty teen going through some general teenage angst and this song came along, sounding like it had been written just for me.

    You couldn't pay me enough to go through teenagehood again, but the music was good.

    Help recreating synth sound from "A Warm Place" by Nine Inch Nails

    > I'm looking for some help in recreating the main synth patch for "A Warm Place" by Nine Inch Nails (can be heard in the linked video) using a software synth. > > I think one of the main components to the patch is some kind of organ voice but beyond that I'm a bit lost as to what I should try. I'm pretty new to creating synth patches, but I learn best by experimenting and trying to reproduce things I know I like. I'm not looking to recreate this sound perfectly, but if anyone here could offer some guidance on how to achieve a roughly similar sound, or even just a good place to start, I'd really appreciate it. > > I'm mainly using ZynAddSubFX but don't mind trying out other software.

    Getting "LemmyApiException: temporarily_disabled" when trying to view comments on lemmy.world

    I'm getting a "LemmyApiException: temporarily_disabled" error when trying to view comments on lemmy.world, and comments don't show.

    This only seems to be happening on my account on lemmy.world with Thunder. Liftoff doesn't have the issue, I've tried with an account on a different instance with Thunder and I'm able to see comments without any errors.

    Is anyone else having the same issue?
