    Central Avenue: is the sound deficiency on the one side consistent with everything you can plug it into? e.g. your ipod, your home stereo, your computer, your tablet, etc

    and if you could, get me the make/model of your headphones

    It seems to be happening with everything; so far I've tried it with my laptop, an iPod, and a mobile phone's music app.

    They're Sony MDR-ZX100

    centie when did you become obsessed with Strawberry Shortcake

    that has never been a good franchise

    My headphones are jacked up. I get sound out of both speakers but the right one is much too quiet.

    The right one also kinda rattles when I pick up the headphones.
    CA: it seems like a solder in there got loose, perhaps. Or something else. However, I did find this: 


    Contains a whole bunch of large photos and a guide to how to test all the components inside. You may need to solder something, I don't know. 

    I suggest going this route because even if you fuck them up (which it doesn't seem likely, they're pretty simple on the side) you get a learning experience out of it.

    CA also, whenever you move over to a 4-year university and given your age -- the bottom limit may be 24 -- instead of feeding money directly into dorm life they give you a pretty pretty substantial amount simply for room and board that's off of campus. And this may already qualify for you considering your GD status, but that may require a doctor's approval.  Also, if you rate a disability, that is wholly separate which eases the financial burden that much more. 

    And I hate to bring this up, but the fact of the matter is it's there -- there's other ways to receive benefits based on your race and family income as well. I think the age limit on those are 24 as well. I would forego talking to your CC counselor and talking to one at the university you wish to attend.

    btw, I learned all of this from my sister who's an expert on what the system will provide for you. She got me a $1000 tax credit this year that I had no idea about because I'm a pre-grad student.

    Well, unlike with Hasbro and My Little Pony, American Greetings has, seemingly, never even tried to make Strawberry Shortcake anything more than a shallow pile of crap that exists to sell merchandise.

    Seriously, how do you manage to keep a franchise set in a world made of fruit and dessert so unappealing for over thirty years

    If it's so lame, how does it remain popular? Wait, Nickelback exists

    Nickelback kinda puzzles me, somehow

    I don't find what little of their music I've listened to especially offensive (though Chad Kroeger's singing voice doesn't really jibe with the instrumentation in some of the songs to me) but why did the "let's all hate on this" wheel land on them?
  • All of their songs sound the same, their style is incredibly bland, and the subject matter of their songs is juvenile.

    Applejack is Quick Draw McGraw, Pinkie Pie is Snagglepuss, and Rainbow Dash as Huckleberry Hound?

    Nickelback are incredibly bland yet became quite popular

    It's a symptom of the general public's bad taste and an affront to humanity in general

    It never fails...I go to talk to my parents for a few minutes and approximately 8 zillion posts are made while I'm gone.

    I'm not obsessed with Strawberry Shortcake, but Naney showed me the picture and I thought it would make a cute avatar.

    I know what you mean about the franchise seeming like a waste of potential, though. What AG needs to do is bring in a real creator to make something good of it, as Hasbro did with Lauren Faust and MLP.

    Ah, thanks. Looks simple enough...but I don't have access to soldering equipment. Maybe I should ask around and see if anybody I know has some.

    Or I could just spring for new headphones, but that's not as fun as jury-rigging the old ones.

    Ah, that makes sense.

    I feel kinda lazy for never having looked into this stuff before now. Better late than never, I guess.

    And besides, Lazuli and Naney both said I would be strawberry-flavored anyhow!

    And you said I should be maple, which kinda sounds like Mabel, so Strawberry Mabel fits perfectly.

    Those are just off the top of my head, you'd need to speak with a school counselor to get all the pertinent info.  Also, counselors at TG/TS centers will provide you with a ton of resources in that regard as well, especially in case your university needs information in that regard.

    ...aaand the headphones are fixed.

    I have no idea what I did, but there was a big round piece that was loose and I just shoved it back into where it appeared to fit and now they work fine again.

    I seem to have a bizarre talent for fixing things without understanding why it worked. ._.
  • Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    argh can't sleep

    more specifically want to go to sleep but am a little scared to

    I know I shouldn't be binge-reading certain parts of the internet. I guess I just never learn my lesson.

    It was a blog that collected Tumblr social justice stuff.

    It's probably not as bad as I'm making it seem. It's just that being tired, binge-reading to the point where I lose track of time, and not liking to see people get worked up (I haven't really figured out why this is, I just don't) don't mix well.

     and not liking to see people get worked up (I haven't really figured out why this is, I just don't) don't mix well.
    mob mentality is infectious, and it's found a way to transition onto the Internet relatively intact.

    Tumblr social justice is especially infuriating to me for the simple reason that I agree with a lot of what they claim to stand for--I'm a biracial bisexual trans woman; of course I want to take a stand against racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, etc.--but in practice so much of it is just stupid or inane and often completely distorts the concepts into something completely off-base.

    It's just...ugh.

    clearly you just don't understand, CA

    you should be running around yelling "DIE CIS SCUM" and telling everyone to check their privilege

    also you should go vegan or else you are the scum of the earth

    Even better: it's a Unix command that deletes literally every file on the computer.

    My favorite thing Tumblr invention that I discovered this past week was the "tone argument", that is, requesting a non-inflammatory, polite discussion is a "fallacy" (...it's not) and by requesting this, you're pushing your _______ and _______ (and don't forget your) _________ privilege on someone else by expecting them to be civil and coherent. It's basically a license they forged to let them harass and insult other people unchecked.

    sudo = run as root (i.e., allow something that the system wouldn't normally let you do because of permissions settings)
    rm = remove (self explanatory)
    r = recursive (delete the directory /and/ everything in it, including subdirectories
    f = force
    / = the root of the filesystem

    So basically, they're saying that calling ad hominem is now a fallacy?

    ...They are saying that pointing out a fallacy is a fallacy.

    ...That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
  • ...That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.



    One might say their reasoning is....



    fallacious

    hey this is all news to me

    I didn't see the "tone argument" until that white woman in the kimono photo caused all those tumblr posters to lose their shit and when she was all hey hey wait can we discuss this rationally (which is way, way more than I'd ever give them) she was then slammed with accusations of using the dreaded "tone argument"
