apparently it went like this

1) trump tried to do something unethical

2) WH counsel threatened to resign

3) time passed

4) newspaper story came out about 1 & 2

oh ok

1:53 AM

5) trump told WH counsel to deny the story for 4

6) WH counsel said (internally) no, it's actually true

still stupid but not, you know, as stupid

Yeah, it's still kind of confusing for me

7) trump threatened to fire WH counsel for 6

8) no one got fired over this

so this story is about 5,6, and 7

pastemagazine.com/articles/2018/03/…

...lol?

Neat.

What possible use could that have

...raise awareness of the gender disparities that exist in music production and promotion, and give listeners a way to assess how, or if, their listening habits are affected by this?

Is this a trick question? Did you read the article?

Yes

I guess the difference between you and me is that I don't care about the gender of whomever I'm listening to

@ToxicFrog my listening habits are affected by me listening to things that sound good to me. I mean it's true, I know people who only listen to undertale remixes so maybe there are people out there who only listen to men or women because of... Reasons?

Just seems silly and useless and like it's trying to create an issue out of nothing

StrixVaria

I wonder how they judge bands with both male and female members.

11:45 AM

🤷

StrixVaria

I listen to music that sounds good to me, and don't really pay any attention to the genders of the performers.

@StrixVaria if I were writing this I'd count that as both, but I'm also not a domain expert sooooo

StrixVaria

Listening to mostly metal, though, I bet my ratio is way male-dominated according to that tool, but I don't feel like that means anything.

@GnomeSlice

@GnomeSlice I mean, I mostly listen to women and mixed-gender bands because I prefer female vocalists, but I think you've missed the point

Which is that this is a tool for people to inspect their listening habits and see what they actually are rather than what they think they are

And if "think" was 50/50 and "actually" was 90/10, maybe think about why

Why does there have to be a reason besides 'i like these artists'

They're making an issue out of nothing

12:01 PM

There doesn't have to be, but there often is.

I don't think my listening gender split is 50/50 because I couldn't give less of a shit about it. I have like 12,800 songs on my phone

@ToxicFrog what are you basing that on

Hmm yes the music industry's long-standing issues with sexism and gender discrimination in promoting and rewarding artists and the studies that have been done on blind auditioning/signing demonstrating this and suggesting mitigations are "nothing"

@GnomeSlice not giving a shit is your prerogative but maybe consider that people who aren't you do give a shit?

Rather than arguing that no-one should give a shit, the world we have is either perfect or, at least, cannot be improved, so no-one should bother

If you pick who you listen to based on their gender why are you even bothering

Why do you have to listen to an even split of men and women to be 'good'

Ah man whatever I'm obviously not gonna convince you that I think this is dumb

Like if that's what's important to you by all means go for it

No-one is saying either of those things, please stop being willfully obtuse

I am not, but thank you for assuming that I am

12:08 PM

Well, when you're responding to positions no-one in the conversation actually holds I'm not sure what inference I should be drawing instead

Anyways.

all comrades in Lansing have been bailed out

There are people who aggressively do not care about gender in music and do not want to care. You appear to be in that bucket. Fine.

This feature is for people who do care but perhaps have not thought about it very much

People who think "I listen to music based on what I like and that probably works out to about 50/50" and would be surprised to find out that it's 80/20 (say)

And might be prompted by finding that out to go out and find more music they like from underrepresented artists that they just haven't noticed because it doesn't get promoted as much.

Can you give me some examples of artists like that

If you are firmly invested in believing that Everything Is Fine, or in just not caring whether or not everything is fine, this feature is not useful.

I am not playing that game, sorry. Someone who listens to more music and has more patience than I do can if they like.

@Unionhawk awesome

@ToxicFrog how is me asking for examples me being not open to having my mind changed

Not sure why you're getting so defensive, you should know me better than that after all these years

I can drop it. Have a nice day

12:21 PM

@GnomeSlice "I know you're not a domain expert in this and I could google things just as easily as you could, but could you give me an example? No, not that one, or that one. Or that one either, it doesn't count because reasons." is something I've been running into a lot lately and I am 100% sick of it.

I am not actually that interested or invested in the music industry. I do not have particular domain knowledge about it.

I was just trying to explain why people who aren't you might find this a useful and worthwhile feature.

My entire point was that I have a fundamental problem with the premise that people may accidentally find they listen to more men because of some secret discrimination conspiracy

@ToxicFrog fair enough. A perspective from someone who sees differently from myself I guess

...you're the only person bringing up a "secret conspiracy" here

If an industry has systematic biases, it's really easy for your interactions with that industry to end up accidentally reinforcing those biases with no intentionality or "secret conspiracy" needed.

Possibly yeah. But it's that what's happening?

A systematic bias against women? There's like 2 industries where that doesn't happen

Happy international women's day folks

12:31 PM

@Unionhawk ⭐

I will allow it not that my allowing it matters

@GnomeSlice well, I mean, it's a matter of well-documented record that the music industry has a strong bias in (e.g.) who gets awards, who gets invited to music festivals, who gets signed and how easily, etc

@StrixVaria I'm curious if they count a female vocalist as a female band if all the other members are male, or what if only the keyboardplayer is a woman? Or what if on one cd there is a female bassplayer, and the next album there isn't.

or there is a female and male vocalist.

So at that point you have to argue either that the observation methods are flawed and the observed bias doesn't exist in reality, or that the observations are correct but the bias is working as intended (e.g. because "women are just less interested in music, so there are fewer female artists entering the pipeline to begin with")

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh at the between brackets bit

12:34 PM

(but in that case all you've done is flipped over a turtle and now need to ask, ok, why does this pipeline problem exist)

Belgium has/had a Female fronted metal festival. Where it was a requirement to have a female singer to be allowed to play.

@KevinvanderVelden yeah

The majority of the uugh came from the fact that that is a thing that keeps being said seriously

I mean it was a whole thing yeah

@Unionhawk We'll see what the local ruling class does about it.

@TimStone What the fuck

@TimStone why have one phallic object when you can have two?

let's combine this with the bullets are stored in the balls mag extender

I just feel like the double trigger is still actually breaking the spirit of the rule

is this going to get to like men's razors level of redic?

@TimStone broke: not getting an ar15 because of gun control, woke: not getting one because of BDS

5 barrels, plus a smaller barrel pointed backward for precision work

@Unionhawk hue

@GodEmperorDune Sounds like a problem that solves itself

i feel there is also a comic about a gun that shoots smaller guns that would also apply here

@TimStone I refuse to believe that the ATF is going to look at this and go "yeah we got rules lawyered successfully"

@Unionhawk but it would be antisemitic to ban an israeli gun...

6:43 PM

@Unionhawk two triggers one gun

@GodEmperorDune They should only be able to shoot rubber coated metal balls for peace reasons

@Unionhawk Surprise!

god dammit

The Beretta ad I got on that page is something too, lol

Mad Scientist

@TimStone this looks more like a gimmick, not something that is actually more dangerous than a regular AR-15

6:45 PM

Now in pastels!

conservatives: arm everyone
liberals: manufacture more pink drones

@MadScientist Oh yeah, for one it's definitely heavier, so I'm not like additionally concerned about it, it just seems entirely stupid that this is a thing that's totally okay just because they basically glued two guns together

The federal government wants unhackable encryption backdoors but they're foiled by someone using two triggers instead of one
