  • What's an artist / band that you used to dislike, but now enjoy?

    Jump

  • Joy Division. It took several years of being a New Order fanboy before I revisited the earlier band and realized its genius.

  • I am shocked...shocked to find corruption going on in the Supreme Court!

  • What's the easiest way to host a music colletion (FLAC)?

  • I'm also considering just getting a portable, 128GB FLAC player with a minijack connection and moving on with my life without getting involved in networking at all.

    Yeah, I'd say that this is definitely the way to go. My .mp3 player only has something like 8 gigs of storage, but it takes a MicroSD card. With a 1 tb card, I can carry all the music I want (and realistically, given that your collection is pretty small, you could get away with a whole lot less than that).

  • Good for them! Hopefully this leads to a stronger labor movement nationwide.

  • What's the most petty/pointless/pedantic hill you're willing to die on?

    Jump

  • I'm fine with language evolving; my issue is that there used to be a word that succinctly conveyed a particular idea, and now there is no way to concisely convey that idea in English.

    "Gay" changing its meaning isn't the same thing, because there are still plenty of ways of saying "happy" in English.

  • The word "literally" has been forever ruined by people who use it to mean "figuratively." Worse, there is now literally no way to actually convey the original meaning of the word "literally" in a concise, clear way.

    You have to say something like, "A is literally 10 times bigger than B...and I mean that ACTUALLY literally." And then people will STILL assume that you're speaking figuratively.
