My career is not all that relevant, actually, despite the coincidence of both of us working for radio in one way or the other. In fact, if I were a McDonalds cashier, or a janitor whose career consists of wiping up vomit every day, or a large corporate CEO, what I said is just as valid or invalid.<br /><br />I know your alleged core argument in various guises.<br /><br />What you are saying is that people who shuffle around money make the decisions. By this, you are trying to make the whole process look cheap and corrupt. You do this as an indirect way to really say that q959fm is a worthless person and that his career is worthless. But the problem with this is that these same decision makers largely base their decisions on ratings. Meaning that more ratings = more money for them. There are exceptions here and there, but that is what they are, exceptions.<br /><br />Also, I don't know why you are talking about the US government for. Radio in the states is mostly private sector, having little connection besides certain press releases and FCC regulations.<br /><br />I did not call you a commie and I do not know why you dragged this issue in.

Great minds think alike Gary and it's all in the timing; in the actual gif and in the posting of the site. Also ismellpussy, yes it does make sense. It's fucking Westeros. Life there is not guaranteed much less dancing. So, once again, SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.

Nothing can carry itself in the current palette of up and coming sites. Not even the one that admits everything recently created sucks. <br /><br />In fact, looking U&C, it's at an all time low. We reached a low where sites below 4 were consistently showing there like two years ago, but the situation now is that when this was made, the list displayable on the front page wasn't even full. That's how little sites were being voted on, and that was visible by looking at the recently created sites. <br /><br />I'll come back in a month or something when I have another good idea and more than five minutes to work on a YTMND and make something good. Right now, it's filler-for-the-masses time.

Is there a part of your brain that takes full control of your body and brings out the sites you make, or is it all you?

I remember this from the muppets movie. They were playing "You got a fist in me" in between clips from toy story 3. Jimmy Stewart would say "I don't wanna get married to anybody you understand! I just want to put my fist in side you and jiggle it around! It was ground breaking for its time because it was the first muppets/fisting/crime drama to be shot in colour. Oh yeah Fozzie Bear mauled some kid in a grocery store while flying on angel dust and 500 eye witnesses saw him pour apple-cranberry juice into the victims eyes and open wounds. Kermit supported his alibi that the kid was in fact a russian spy, but mid-trial, Hans Christian ANDerson burst in and yelled "Soilent Green is PEOPLE" and everybody started losing their lunch all over the place. Then, that green guy with the gold tooth, disguised as a janitor, poured what looked like cat litter all over the place, but it was really [i]gun[/i] powder. Mrs. Piggy lit a fart and the whole place burned alive. I think the muppets got away because after the place had burned for a while it showed all the dead people and the wreckage and stuff, and the camera panned over to the defendant table and just showed like dust, like in the shape of the muppets, like they were there, dust formed around them and now they're gone, leaving just the dust. It was just like [i]pointing[/i] to the notion that they escaped but it didn't say for sure. I think they did that so they can kill them off if they don't get picked up for another movie. I shoulda taped it.

Given that the majority of the few users left here are retarded fucking morons that spam and five shit like this all day long, how are you surprised? And for that matter, how are you not grossly embarrassed that you didn't 1 this piece of shit site (like all of these piece of shit sites) to distinguish yourself from the retarded fucking morons that spam and five shit like this all day long? <br /><br />Answer: Because there is no difference between you and them.

Sooooo...accepting a flame war challenge from my pit bull is a waste of your precious time but arguing via entire paragraphs with the fucking Ritalin snorter above is time well spent?!<br /> <br />Congrats, I believe it is entirely the case that the two biggest fucking morons ever to connect to the internet have finally found each other. Tim Berners-Lee and Al Gore can sleep well tonight knowing that all the decades of their hard work have finally paid off.<br /> <br />(by the way, you crippled gerbil dick of a mental midget, there is a difference between a definition, or denotation, and usage, or connotation, in language. What you or your stupid fucking father or some angry Randian commenter posts in one of your tard-vacuum forum comment sections in no way changes what the words "selfish" or "greed" mean. How different people utilize language merely illustrates whether or not they have a fucking clue. And you, pussyPussyPussy, have not the slightest of clues)

I am sympathetic to this objection. A lot of people would agree with you, including some who are recognized as intelligent.<br /><br />However, I am afraid this is an oversimplification.<br /><br />You imply that the 1950s and 1960s because all the New Deal policies were retained. But also during that time, Truman had also reduced government spending as well as the top tax rate. Eisenhower reduced it slightly as well, as did JFK.<br /><br />Now, while most of the New Deal programs and polcies were in effect during the 1970s, there was also a great recession during the 1970s. The top tax rate had not yet fallen. People had a difficult time buying gas. Food prices were rising. The official liberal policy of adding inflation seemed to have no effect. A term came about during the 1970s called "stagflation". Meaning that in spite of the federal reserve providing more money (the sort of thing that people like Paul Krugman recommend), there was still economic stagnation.<br /><br />Was this Reagan's fault? He did not even start office until January of 1981. But somehow you portray the times prior to him as an economic paradise.<br /><br />You also accused Reagan of cutitng the New Deal programs. To be fair, you are not the first to make this accusation. But the fact is, not a single New Deal program was cut during the Reagan administration. In fact, domestic federal spending was actually increased from 1981 to the end of his term in 1988.<br /><br />http://www.nationaljournal.com/interactive-graphic-budget-throu<br />gh-history-20110214?mrefid=site_search<br /><br />Clearly, you were trying to imply that Reagan had cut government and then sent the country into the shitter. But the problem is that Reagan had done no such thing.

"Sorry you're too stupid to understand son but what he's saying is the government should not interfere with the sale of tobacco. Or DDT in colorful cups marketed to children."<br /><br />Not exactly. With tobacco, most of us try not to interfere with the lives of others. That is unless they make others unhealthy.<br /><br />Also, if I had a kid, I would not in any way approve of my child consuming or touching DDT. For the same reason that I would not approve of him or her consuming arsenic. Any company which would sneak such contents in their products are not defended by people like us.<br /><br />But we do defend smokers because smokers are usually old enough and have heard from enough people about the dangers of smoking when they buy them. I also have a girlfriend who smokes. I am trying to help her quit. As someone who likes to be in shape, I have no interest in touching tobacco.<br /><br />Finally, I distinguish second hand smoke from smoking all by yourself or smoking among other smokers in a lounge.<br /><br />But you know what I find ironic of those on the left? How passionate they are to legalize marijuana, but they go on these extreme moral crusades to punish tobacco users. As if mary jane did not destroy your lungs faster than tobaccy.<br /><br />"Any attempt to stop that is state interference and is unacceptable. Unless by "state" you mean individual U.S. States."<br /><br />I don't believe in the existence of those either, actually.<br /><br />"The Fed's tendency to protect blacks from racist state governments has nothing to do with that, probably."<br /><br />I look at it as one mafia gang stopping another mafia gang from doing something evil, but for cynical reasons : vote harvesting. Politicians typically don't care. They only pretend to care when there are votes to grab.

Political parties. Morality. Class equality. Economics. Crime. Corruption. Innocence. Fairness. Survival. Comfort. Safety.<br /><br />Timeless, endless struggles of humanity. Confusing, overwhelming, unsolvable problems.<br /><br />I'm not highly educated, but I'm not stupid.<br /><br />I observe, listen and watch everyone but I rarely debate or participate.<br /><br />All I know is that everyone is basically looking out for their own interests, wether they realize it or not. <br /><br />Anyone who claims to know everything and has it all figured out is usually either dead wrong or just lying (in part or in full to themselves and/or to others).<br /><br />Still, one has to take a stand somewhere and choose a side to some extent. <br /><br />I'm no anarchist. I agree we need a society, government and police. But I also hate the inherent, unavoidable corruption and abuse that comes with it.<br /><br />But I'm also half expecting society to crumble at any moment. I try to rely on the system as little as possible. I don't drive a car, I'm somewhat of a preper, I try to stay off the grid as much as possible, while still taking advantage of it as much as possible (a difficult balance).<br /><br />Bottom line is that everyone is an animal. Sometimes territorial and fierce, sometimes communal and bonding. But always wanting to dominate their surroundings using any means at their disposal, be it money and power, emotional subterfuge or brute force.<br /><br />I don't have it all figured out, but I do know you have to be damn careful out there and you can't really trust anyone. Not a stranger, not a family member, not a cop, not a president. <br /><br />Except that there are times when you have no choice. That's the rub.

"You'd lose that fight, kid. The only reason you're alive is the state protects you."<br /><br />Are you superman? Because I can't think of any other reason why someone could get up or survive a gunshot to the head afterwards, unless they would be wearing some advanced ballistics helmet. Even then, you would be on the ground.<br /><br />Also, if I lived in a community where there was private security, AND you managed to survive such a gunshot, they would take you out.<br /><br />If they proved to be inadequate or nonexistent, I am sure the neighbors might get you. At least the kind I would live around would be packing heat.<br /><br />Besides, statistics show that states have killed more people than they have ever protected. They have killed many more than private criminals could ever hope to. In the 20th century alone, states have killed upwards of 200 million people. Not even factoring in those they have killed using their militaries in war.<br /><br />Besides, if you pay attention to the news, there are all kinds of reports of police brutality in the USA where they kill numerous people.<br /><br />The fact is that you are far more likely, statistically, to be killed by a police officer than any private criminal.<br /><br />But I understand where you are coming from. After all, the state has very effective propaganda and prejudice on its side. Most people do not look at facts or statistics. They just get butthurt when contrarians come along.

Yes, print has been in decline for a while. Making a living as a freelancer is hard enough. <br /><br />Packaging is a big part of my work now - everyone who sells physical items still needs cartons and labels. One advantage I have is that all the new people in the design field know zilch about cmyk + spot or complex finishings. So there is less competition for me.<br /><br />I got my cs6 on ebay and I plan to use it forever unless Adobe reverses their licensing. The print apps are feature complete and mature and I'll never miss anything new. I'll virtualize CS6 if future OS upgrades break it.<br /><br />If I switched to mobile/web, as those technologies advance, I'm afraid I might be left out if I were to rely on feature frozen cs6 web apps.<br /><br />When it comes to web, I hate code, I'm lazy and don't want to learn it. But I also know most wysiwyg editors are flawed in some regards that would require some knowhow to fix or optimize. With print, I never have to edit postscript, so I'm spoiled compared to people who deal with html.<br /><br />I've been waiting for web authoring to mature and solidify so that what I choose to learn won't change for a long time. But I don't see that happening yet.<br /><br />I also hate how when you design a web page, clients always expect unlimited revisions and sometimes unexpected features like database integration or e-commerce, or layout responsiveness.<br /><br />I'll have to jump in some day - I get a lot of requests.

It's all about the seconds in the audio and how many image frames you have. Take for example you have an audio that's 10 seconds. Now you have 100 jpeg/png frames you want to sync to that 10 seconds. We'll use Jasc animation shop. The frame delay timings in that is 1-100/100th of second. 100 being 1 second. To make this easier for understanding we shall use 10 frames to make up 1 second so each of those 10 frames will have a delay timing of 10 (10/100th). In fact for this example, all the remaining frames can be delayed timed at 10. Since 100 frames equals 10 seconds. 10x100=1000 (10 seconds) From that you should have a basic understanding and be able to sync to your heart's delight. There's also a little trick to do in syncing the frames with the audio on ytmnd. Add 1 blank frame to the beginning of your gif.

I really respect the effort and intent of your efforts with this site. But ultimately, I disagree with auto connecting youtube to the ytmnd site creator.<br /><br />1. Doing this might risk further legal/copyright liability towards Max and the whole site. Suppose the youtube in question was a direct DVD/Blu Ray rip? If the content creators happened to be a major studio, distribution network or production company, then that alone could earn Max some serious trouble. They would likely have the resources to pursue litigation against him. As they have done in the past. Besides, such a DVD rip would even violate youtube policies. Perhaps someone from youtube might also pursue something against him.<br /><br />2. Aside from legal issues, I think this would also discourage creativity for some. Most of the movie cuts/rips that make it to ytmnd have some modification to it. There are some which do not, but I do not think it makes sense to increase this number. Besides, if a clip is not modified, then it is less likely it would be thought of as satire in regards to legal issues.<br /><br />3. This would also place a great strain on server resources. Video conversions are processor and ram intensive. Especially if the desired clip size is something ridiculous like 10 minutes long. Just imagine if 100 people were doing this at once. I almost guarantee that all of ytmnd would slow down drastically, if not simply fail to deliver pages entirely.<br /><br />4. The great thing with users currently downloading the clips on to their own computers and doing their own conversions is that whatever they end up creating will not be able to make it to the server without the resulting file be smaller than the stated maximum file size per upload. With a server side conversion, there is no guaranteed easy way to detect how big the resulting file size will be until the animated gif is fully generated, unless one really shops around for such a converter.

The drunkest I ever got caused me to record a 15 minute video of myself playing Mortal Kombat II and throw up on myself, the floor, and the garbage can, which was crammed full. I felt bad for the Red Baron pizza box that got the brunt of it throughout the night as I leaned over the side of my bed several times to heave the remaining leftover bile onto it. The next day wasn't a whole lot of fun, as it included yet another fire alarm incident just minutes after I threw up for the last time, which more or less trashed a completely empty monstrous trash bag that I stole from the janitor's trash room. I feared that I was gonna lose it again in front of all the people as we filed outside. But there was nothing left in me. I haven't had a glass of Sunny D in three years. <br /><br />I think lickitwellhiem is more likely to get drunk and jerk off to something furry.

(unless of course this is all bullshit, but given that this is in fact the birthday according to a whois report, prior April Fools posts here resulting in an actual change and the fact that there were no April Fools posts when the site reached its lowest point of inactivity, I'm assuming it's part joke, part truth - in a YTMND fashion)

I'm just curious: how many moderators does YTMND have that are active, if any?<br /><br />There's no doubt that the community's quality has gone down. From any perspective if it's not x user who thinks x user(s) are the problem, it's the other way around. People have different tastes and different ideas as to what YTMND should be, so it seems to me the most effective way to make the community better is simply to reduce redundant banter and argumentative users who are pricks on a daily or near daily basis - this is a small group of people, among a not so large group of total active users.<br /><br />Of course, what constitutes someone being a prick is also a variable. Long, recurring troll discussions between two or more who always go at it as being one that most people would agree on. I'm sure there are rules that cover a portion of this sort of thing and that's led to some of the more volatile, non-contributing members (who need not be named) being comment banned, account banned, possibly IP banned (if that has been done). Then of course there's the very obvious moon crew shit which personally seems to have dwindled, however it seems for anyone who posts a generic moon crew site, an IP ban is in order.<br /><br />I'm not sure how the site will evolve from this point, but I know that behavior has been a detracting factor firsthand from various users (mik3m, comradvolk and myself just to name a few). The back and forth thing is an obvious byproduct of all this, and I'm not talking about YTMND transients like Umfuld who actually makes sites, says things in jest and is at best grumpy from time to time, more so those who seek to start shit. On occasion, this place is sometimes comparable to 4chan.<br /> <br />So with all that said, would it be in the best interest of YTMND to give well-behaved, legacy members who are still active possible moderator jobs? People like Ochobobo come to mind. Many might decline it but I'd assume some would be happy to take the position.

Is that the best you got, Primadon? <br /> <br />I mean, I know that you're excited for your new job at H&R Block and it's got you all uppity and full of yourself But cleaning out shitters is cleaning out shitters, and it'll be no different there than at your ol' Wendy's gig before.

It doesn't look as much, but many things are optimized for a quantum immortal. The local dominant species is naive and gullible, its handy for the slight improbability mechanism to exert control over them. Why do all the hard work it self, when its simpler and more probable, to have an entire intergalactic civilization do it for it, at minimal effort. Otherwise i wouldn't be of this species. Weeeellll, if i end up like in "i have no mouth, and i must scream, it should do the trick too. But how, and why, would humanity start taking care of my little existence, no matter what happens for millions of years to come? Simple, i'm required to start a new religion, this religion, that will do that, what else :). You see, naive and gullible, is a feature not a bug, other wise the slight improbability mechanism should work harder. Of course if they are too naive and gullible, it would undermine there usefulness. I'll be rebuild, with near 100% probability of success(rest plugged by improbability mechanism), no matter whats the cost, even if it necessitates all the energy of entire galaxies, or what ever. So, extraordinarily unlikely savings will be kept to a minimum.<br /><br />cooperation responsability rezults

First, it must unsuperpose in a suitable species. A cockroach, would not do the trick, too limited, but a more potent being would. A god like being, is too improbable, or even impossible, given it must somehow being assembled. An intelligent being, like a vulcan or something, seems, nice, but the problem its that its too potent; it can not be controlled easily, for some non essential purpose, like "surviving" the quantum immortal. The ultra lazy slight improbability mechanism, would have to actually work seriously. A half arsed, some times "intelligent" being like a human, is a good compromise. A human civilization, can always invent something out of a dead end, and on the side "survive" the quantum immortal, without overworking the slight improbability mechanism.<br /><br />The possibilities are infinite, but i'll concentrate on humans, this planet, and at this particular time. At a personal level i had to be very smart, the smartest i am, the beater i'm able to behave as expected by the infinite improbability drive, doh, i mean the slight improbability mechanism. Its not some random smartness, its at a very specific domain, with the appropriate sacrifices in abilities balanced out, for maximum practical impact, the best a human brain can offer in the field. Origin, of life, brain model and sociology model, and others, will play there given roles in my survival. Being male is an other requirement, more fit to survive in the long term, but also, with modern technology physical possibility to spawn out millions of kids, an important long term advantage, to have a strong blood link with huge chunk of the population. That it just happens, that i have some genes that will become the future norm helps further in establishing my self, all those millions of kids will help things up.

Well, for starters, you can rest your sweet little head knowing that I don't care in the least what you believe or don't; it doesn't change my reality in anyway.<br /> <br />But for the fun of the flame:<br /> <br />#1. I don't have a resume, I have a CV.<br /> <br />#2. If you recognize any of those names/references (in all honesty and without Googling) then you'll know that anybody who bothered cite them probably deals with them regularly, as they aren't exactly popular or important outside of the little bubble of academia in which I spend most of my time. Said another way, if I were lying, that'd be a boring fucking lie.<br /> <br />#3. Mostly, though, within my professional world, there's not that much "impressive" about all of what I stated above. It's just standard academia/art fare. In fact, among my peers, I'm rarely the smartest brain in the room. And I don't need to be. I'm successful, creative, and smart enough to hold my own. But the pedigree at the top of the research institution food chain, whether you study hard sciences, humanities, or the arts, is a laundry list of accomplishments, awards, publishing, screenings, speaking engagements, and the like. My CV, as mentioned before, is 15 pages long in 10pt font. But it's also just typical for someone of my experience in my field. One important lesson I've learned in my years of cultural production is that, past a certain level, there's no more bragging, name dropping, or pretense because everyone around you is "somebody." <br /> <br />You went to art school so this'll mean something to you, even though most of the world could give a shit: two curators of the current Whitney Biennial are friends; dozens of the artists are friends, classmates, colleagues and/or collaborators of mine. But the art world is small so there's nothing "impressive" about that because, eventually, if you don't suck or get swallowed up by life, everyone reaches that level to some extent. No biggie.

[...] In short, I come here to blow off steam. After a day of teaching Plato, Benjamin, or Manovich to my undergrads or, in my own studies, reading Bergson, Deleuze, Massumi, Galloway, Kittler, etc, or after sitting in seminars with pointy headed peers discussing Agamben, Harvey, Berardi, Foucault or watching Pasolini, Bresson, or some new upstart experiential video artist flavor of the month kid, well, I need a good fart joke. I need to act like an ass and joke with people who also act like asses. YTMND used to provide that in spades: mattdh12, braxton, MurdarMachene, and so many others made genuinely funny, smart and stupid sites. Then, acting like an ass shifted to acting like an asshole because that's all that's left here now. With few exceptions, everyone left is a troll, max included (though he's the least active among us). So I began to think of YTMND as a MMORPG for trolling trolls (though lately that's one "M" too many). I fuck with people I have no respect for here because it's funny (or can be from time to time), it's what's left of a once semi-productive space, and it really seems to irk some otherwise terrible people--yourself included. You're pokerfacing how angry you are at me right now but let's just say that never, not once in my entire life, have I posted to my real Facebook page that I was arguing with YOU on ytmnd. <br /> <br />Never, not once in my time here, have I been actually angry. Of course not. And those of you who are not idiots, who are capable of subtlety and subtext, who are not fucking retarded morons know exactly what I'm talking about. There's plenty for any well adjusted adult to be angry about in life, but it sure ain't that some moron troll on the internet called me a FAGGOT! Or that some 12-year old acting adult downvoted a site I made that he isn't at all capable of understanding. It's been a game. And sometimes it's a fun game. Especially when I know who is losing, despite their flailing attempts to deny it!

This site is incorrect, and here is why. I see that you have explained away some of the anachronistic stuff in the site (i.e. the pen). However, one thing that you did not explain and that cannot be rectified is the shadows. Though there is a candle lit on the desk, in each of the shots one can see multiple shadows whose lines and angles do not move as they would with the flickering of a natural flame. Sunlight would create a single shadow, so there must be multiple non-solar ligth sources. Also, all of these shadows seem to be cast from blockage of light sources that are at least at a 45 degree angle above the "Edison" in this ytmnd. Therefore, they could only be created with light bulbs. If they are made from standard incandescents, then all this idiot would have had to do would be to yank one from a fixture above his head. If they were LED's, fluorescents, or other more modern bulbs, then what would be the point in creating a filament in the first place?<br /><br />One star.

is there a point to all this?

I suppose if I said I was the smartest guy around or the smartest guy at ytmnd or went to the best school in the world or even something comparable to Ivy League, you might actually have a point there.<br /><br />But considering that most people don't even have a college degree, that automatically places me at an advantage at that regard. No matter what school I went to, I would still have something most Americans do not have (currently 70%). Something that clearly requires a few brains, a bit of talent and some work ethic.<br /><br />But we all know of smart people who have either never went to college or did not complete a degree. Some of them are geniuses. Therefore, it is fair to assume that a degree completer (regardless of where he/she went) obviously has more than a few brain cells to rub together.<br /><br />But then you throw in my admittedly only decent 3.2 GPA, the idea I am stupid becomes harder to swallow. You also have to consider that most of those courses were in the 12th best communications design department in the USA, especially in the later years. I even took on electives for the hell of it while still maintaining the GPA.<br /><br />My alleged stupidity (according to DevilDerrick and you) becomes harder and harder to swallow. Which is the only point I ever needed to prove in this whole argument.<br /><br />But if you allege that Forrest Gump could somehow do all this (which would be insane), does it make sense to think he also worked in 4 different places (plus freelancing gigs) all relevant to that degree, even being a goto guy for technology questions and issues? Do you think Forrest Gump could somehow have figured out far off things like MySQL programming or TV commercial quality 3d animation? Especially learning most of it outside of school?

Now that we've removed 62 of the best schools in the US from our sample pool, we have to further narrow the results, this time addressing the subset of [i]Regional Universities[/i]. Only, remember fucktard, that this list does not include all "regional universities" in the US, as I pointed out earlier, but only represents the northeast or 11 states, thus excluding dozens of other 2nd tier universities in 3 other regions. This at least counts for another 30 schools, even if we merely take 10 from each other region (again giving Pratt SIGNIFICANT padding in our counting).<br /> <br />So now we're at a very generous 92 schools better than Pratt, [i]BUT[/i] because this list doesn't include [i]Regional Colleges[/i], of which there are again four regions, and figuring a polite 10 colleges per region better than Pratt, this adds yet another 40 colleges to our list, bringing us to 132 schools...<br /> <br />...before we even get to that claim of [u]#20th[/u] on the [i]North Regional University[/i] list.<br /> <br />So, are you following this or are you too fucking retarded to get it? Let me spell it out for you, just in case: Your "top 20" American college is really, if we're being incredibly generous here, at best about 150th in the nation. For fine art schools, it doesn't even crack the top 25. And the department you were in at that 150th-ish school isn't even nationally ranked in the top ten for it's field.<br /> <br />Thus, maddog, you went to a fucking safety school for the art and design world--which is saying a whole fuckload more about your intelligence or, heh, "smarts," than your cocky, entirely bullshit response to DD's question.<br /> <br />So, whatever Pratt might be good for (its Interior Design dept seems to be their strongest field, out of which have come such luminary thinkers as, umm, people who design K-Marts or drape stylists for rich people's condos) they clearly did a shitty fucking job educating you.
