  • Why is the "high end" brand Sony?

    About 1998: I tried to ask a Sony receiver to deliver about 80% published RMS. After about two minutes it went into a protection mode, never to recover, bricked.

    About 2005: A used Sony 5.1 HT setup's receiver failed. The speakers said 4 Ohm on them. An HK 4 ohm stable receiver begs to differ. Speakers went to Craigslist.

    I've been avoiding Sony for nearly 20 years. Are they doing something right for playback devices such as a CD player?

  • Because if you don't do as the others then you're perceived as personally attacking their bandwagon comfort. Said another way, your nuanced ideology is far less important than their shallow feelings.

  • The US. Psychiatrists can Rx. Psychologists cannot. But, they've always a psychiatrist in their back pocket who'll do whatever for a quick buck. If they label themselves "therapist" they're idiots who couldn't even hack a MA.

    My experiences have clearly demonstrated that anyone accepting money will inhibit progress or have one forever dependent upon pharmaceuticals. Those that provide the best help never asked me for anything in return.

    Same goes for education.

  • Reagan changed many paradigms for the worse. I'd bet the majority here couldn't name his predecessor without looking it up, let alone the legislative majorities and legislation.

    I'm going to go do something more productive.

  • A tradition like president candidates releasing tax returns or presidents making White House visitor logs public or staying out of justice department actions or not personally profiting off the presidency or...

    Yes. Much of the precedent that constitutes a "good" President was established by the actions of Washington and Adams.

  • I ran an experiment: I only posted the facts without the reasoning. They're not stupid. They reasoned it out quickly. But, the conclusions disturbed their comfort. It's comfort they value most. Truth and justice be damned.

    If you find one engaging IRL then investment there is a much, much better ROI for our future. All we can do here, in this format, is sow the seeds of doubt.

  • some kind of 12 dimensional master plan

    This is how we know you're not yet worth the investment of offering a communal opportunity.

    I'd encourage you to stay because the underprivileged are most likely to be motivated to meaningful action. But, it's pointless because you lack the resources to leave.

  • ...who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.”

    I think you're MLK's "white moderate": our greatest stumbling block in our stride towards freedom.
