Probably something active like the Q Acoustics M20, Triangle AIO Twin, JBL 305P, or Kali Audio In-5 (though the last two are monitors so you’d need a dac/preamp of some sort).

I’m not necessarily disagreeing with your list, even though some of those are mediocre at best, but yeah I did mean per year, and limited to Hollywood (Parasite for instance not counting). And no, ok, I will also straight up disagree with t

The Wire was made within the window I was talking about. From about 1995 to about 2005. The rest is a list of mediocrity. So, point not made.

No. I was talking about movies. I agree that series are better, but with few exceptions I don’t think series are truly good.

> an absolute shitload of good-to-great films do come out every year. Pick any of the last 5 years. If there are shitloads, then you should easily be able to name 5 great films from that year. What are they? Note; I can easily do this fo

I meant cinema. I don’t watch TV, save for a few (less than 20) shows I don’t think anything truly brilliant has ever been made as a series, ever. That said, I would agree that shows made between 2005 and today are generally better than sho

They only “subvert expectations” in popular content. First seasons and new IPs are fairly traditional and follow common writing tropes (although poorly, as if the knowledge has eroded). It’s only when something gets popular that it gets the

I find this take absolutely incredible. Take any of the last 3 years, and then let’s compare that to the past, and let’s compare what came out in e.g. 2022 and 1992. That you think things have gotten better is one of those things that makes

Democratized? It’s more centralized than ever. Also, giving more projects $5m is not a victory if the cost of a proper production is $20m. It’s just an explanation for why quality is dipping. Or following your logic and “hundreds of other f

You’re supposed to say “we should mandate all producers to only make organic food to achieve equality” and then only once you’re in power do you quietly ban organic food because your goal is impossible and it’s preferable to your ideology t

If a massive industry was baffled as to how buildings could possibly be full, pointing out the reason is very informative. Just because the reason isn’t exhaustive, doesn’t mean that it isn’t the best reason we have. There are massive incen

“ sit on the couch watching TV and you're spending almost the same amount of calories as a walking person.” Some quick googling tells me that walking burns 4x as many calories as sitting. Or maybe I missed your point and you were just

For a 22 year old that’s very impressive if true.

Well it's not really a question of what you should do, it was more a comment on what the ideal solution would be. Is your platform as large as Twitter, is it one of the main communication platforms in society, does it allow users to wi

People are upset because at the core of this debate lies a moral conflict between deontologists and utilitarians, where currently utilitarians are in control and wielding power with complete disregard for the fact that the majority are of d

I agree with OP, opinions shouldn’t be censored, no matter how much we disagree with them. Anything that’s not harassment, a direct threat or direct call to violence should be allowed. To your example, if someone attacks you personally then

1) Towards the end of a production cycle mostly laborious work is remaining that doesn’t require as much creativity to produce. Not so much programmers working on an engine, but rather art teams working on finishing assets. For this kind of
