there are CDs that use mp3

but yes, mp3 files are compressed, which means it takes up much less space at the expense of the overall sound quality

The ideal form of government is an elite minority choosing what's best for everyone, not the majority choosing what they have been fooled to believe is the best for the majority.

I used the word ideal to point out it's not realistic.

A single all powerful leader is beyond idiotic.

Who would be the elite minority? Rich people? I don't think that would turn out well at all.

you make it sound as though this is speculation and not reality

Operation Paperclip was a secret program of the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA) in which more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians, such as Wernher von Braun and his V-2 rocket team, were recruited in post-Nazi Germany and taken to the U.S. for government employment, primarily between 1945 and 1959; many were former members and some were former leaders of the Nazi Party.

This is a high school science fair project, not a legitimate scientific study. They can pull anything they deem inappropriate. It's a touchy enough subject in the actual scientific community, it has no place in a lighthearted public school event.

i assume that by "touchy" you mean there was one book written by a white supremacist that pushed this link, which has since been debunked

I feel like all liberals these days just have their opinions decided by others

In a topic about a guy who has a cult following that praises every word out of his mouth like it's the gospel this is highly ironic

conservatives will always praise guys like Milo and Peterson (Lohren even) because Liberals set the rules on what makes someone credible

liberals have been attacking character instead of arguments for so long that if someone is gay, a woman, or a professor saying what they think, conservatives are going to love them for the simple fact that liberals have decided your arguments are only as credible as the person or identity saying them

thats one of the main reasons why liberals only try to attack petersons character to dsicredit his arguments instead of his arguments themselves

not sure if you assume socialists are liberals, but the majority of the conversation in my circles that I've seen around Peterson has been deconstruction of his points, and it's been pretty fucking thorough

Appeal to Definition
(also known as: appeal to the dictionary, victory by definition)

Description: Using a dictionarys limited definition of a term as evidence that term cannot have another meaning, expanded meaning, or even conflicting meaning. This is a fallacy because dictionaries dont reason; they simply are a reflection of an abbreviated version of the current accepted usage of a term, as determined by argumentation and eventual acceptance. In short, dictionaries tell you what a word meant, according to the authors, at the time of its writing, not what it meant before that time, after, or what it should mean.

Dictionary meanings are usually concise, and lack the depth found in an encyclopedia; therefore, terms found in dictionaries are often incomplete when it comes to helping people to gain a full understanding of the term.

Logical Form:

The dictionary definition of X does not mention Y.

Therefore, Y must not be part of X.

try to figure out the time signature of this bad boy

there are a couple ways to interpret that. I hear it as 1 measure of 13/8, 1 measure of 10/8.

edit: the groupings of 8th notes in the first measure are 3 - 3 - 3 - 4, and in the second measure they're 3 - 3 - 4

Mostly 3/4 and then 4/4 on those last few beats.

So the music just keeps on changing time signatures back and forth, every two bars?

no

what you're hearing is 3/4 (or, to be more precise, 6/8) figures in 4/4. the first four "beats" are actually dotted quarter notes (or quarter notes tied to 8th notes, or other ways of grouping 1.5 beats). the last two in the phrase are quarter notes.

1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1 +1 = 8

so it would be written as 2 bars of 4/4

That's true, it's wrong of me to put all the blame on you.

if you think he's in any way reasonable, you should be aware of the topic called "Sometimes I think profit is intrinsically evil" - it's archived on that site.

Like, here's the best way to settle that particular point.

Do you agree that it's stupid for the average working American to complain about their money situation when they're financing $500 of car per month, in addition to other spending habits that are way out of control? That this person has a spending problem, not an income problem?

I literally could not care less what the average American is spending on their car, and I think it's stupid that you focus on this meaningless, irrelevant statistic instead of the fact that the majority of working Americans can't afford this relatively small sum of money while their employer can wipe his ass with hundred dollar bills

Sure, just as soon as you address the multiple arguments and counter-arguments I posted that you ignored. You can start with the ridiculous argument you made about how the rocket fuel would cost more than the shit we could mine out of the asteroids/moon/etc.

lol

your exact point was

If someone were to give me $100 and I used that money to build a drone that could mine precious metals out of the moon and bring those precious metals back to earth, I'd be introducing new wealth into the system. Both in terms of net resources available in the market and in terms of dollars that go into the global economy.

I said

any wealth introduced into the system via this method would be offset ten times by the cost of the fuel used to get the drone to the moon in the first place

keep in mind that you also assumed you would be able to build a drone capable of doing this for $100. I was being generous
