  1. That sounds like a feasible option. The only issue is that I can only stream internet radio and itunes to a SONOS. I wish it had bluetooh.

    there's an app called playwhatyouhear or something like that, I use it when I want to play some youtube music on my sonos (super easy to seteup, you chose a port and make it like a radio station, it plays what you're playing on your comp through the speakers) and have people over. It's not good for synchro between image and sound but this isn't something I need to do so I haven't looked into it.

     

    Soundcloud integration is already there in sonos btw. I'm an itunes-local/soundcloud/youtube user so YMMV.

  2. I'm pretty sure you're supposed to avoid chinese places filled with white people ...

     

    Also hygiene ratings are overrated as long as it isn't some staged Kitchen Nightmares Freezer scene level type of bullshit. If you keep eating your sterile surgical glove made food you're just gonna ruin yourself !

     

    Like you will step off the plane on your first trip to india and come down with a month long flu cause a stray dog gave you a a sort of dirty look

    This is stupid, you get a long month flu because your system is not used to bacteria in India, can't solve this by eating at slightly sketchy Chinese restaurants in NYC.

  3. I use a sonos setup, it's fine and audio-nerdism free. You should def get that. My headphone are Audio-Technica-M50x, also perfectly fine.

  4. i was joking. 

     

    all of my classmates come from abroad, me included, except that i've lived here for a bit longer than the others. to each his own priorities I guess.

    No, you are right, they are wrong. Living outside of town is retarded, they're doing an MBA anyway so it's mostly parties and not much studying.

  5. ^ How so? Race is only subjective through a deconstructionist lens, and if that lens is applied, the whole point is inevitably mute. For example, what does it actually mean to be Chinese? Who decided who was Chinese and who was Mongolian and the difference between the two hundreds of years ago? Valid questions if you deconstruct what race actually means, but in our society those are really culture questions. Then again, the difference between the two really just boils down to ethnicity, which is different than race.

     

    for example, if rafsemens went up to a group of black people and tried to identify as black as well, not just as having similar interests, mannerisms, or beliefs (culture), but tried to pass it off as actually being the same race, he'd probably get beat up, ignored, shunned etc.

     

    Race is cultural with a big C, in fact there are various racial classifications. As pretty much everyone already knows in 2015 Africa has greater genetic diversity than the rest of the world combined cause we came from there but most stayed and all that. If you go with some hardcore classification taking into account this shit you'd get weird race classifications that no one cares about.

  6. Nah, there are objective differences between races, not only regarding social constructs but physical characteristics 

     

    The question of choosing which characteristics to choose and of those standing in liminal spaces still remains. Ethiopians might have been classified as very different than western Africans or Arabs might be considered white in one system of classification (you can't check "Arab" as a race in the USA AFAIK) but be the Arab panethnic group in a more sophisticated one. Americans see Latinos as different from them Whites but Europeans see Spaniards as Europeans. If you're a mixed race black in Brazil you'll be called White while Obama is called Black in the states. In reality there are various systems of classification we refer to when we mention "race" and we might not agree on the one to use. Some of the posters here would freak out if I posted an Indian chick in the Asian girl you would wife cause they think azns are yellow people. The idea of race is truly more complicated than you would think, not that I assume you've ever bothered to think but hey.

  7. is race a social construct too 

    does liking young thug make me black

    please help

    Pretty much since we have gene clusters as the scientific concept.

     

    Now the diff between sex and gender doesn't have to be seen through the lens of queer theory or whatever. Imagine there are only straight people identifying as the sex they have in their pants, "gender" is still useful. The idea is that you're of the male sex (i.e. you have a dick and all that) but it is important to see how there are performative elements that are socially learned and enforced (i.e. not innate), historically situated and how they influence the way you behave (maybe in acquiescence but also in opposition). These change over time and cultures (i.e. men from the Arabian peninsula holding hands like little fairies but it being a totally manly thing to do over there).

  8. Chart is right, complete bullshit. Not that I care I barely cop any Supreme.

     

    Note: I have one of the old duffles that I've been using for years (7-8?) as a checked bag, it has held remarkably well. Anyone knows the different sizing of Supreme duffles? I want to get something bigger but not sure it exists.

  9. Looking at a girl's Facebook profile pictures in chronological order is like those accelerated motion movies of a flower wilting.

     

    Mignonne, allons voir si la rose

    Qui ce matin avoit desclose

    Sa robe de pourpre au Soleil,

    A point perdu ceste vesprée

    Les plis de sa robe pourprée,

    Et son teint au vostre pareil.

    Las ! voyez comme en peu d'espace,

    Mignonne, elle a dessus la place

    Las ! las ses beautez laissé cheoir !

    Ô vrayment marastre Nature,

    Puis qu'une telle fleur ne dure

    Que du matin jusques au soir !

    Donc, si vous me croyez, mignonne,

    Tandis que vostre âge fleuronne

    En sa plus verte nouveauté,

    Cueillez, cueillez vostre jeunesse :

    Comme à ceste fleur la vieillesse

    Fera ternir vostre beauté.
