I saw some YouTube videos about the "Goldeneye sound effect", a sort of pitched-down percussion. The author of the soundtrack said once it came from an E-mu Proteus. I found the preset and tried to record it in this short: youtube.com/shorts/E4ehCw9Ldgg #goldeneye #soundeffect #007 #proteus2 #rompler #proteus #soundtrack

Israël : défense

L'armée israélienne lance une amnistie unique pour 14 600 Haredi réfractaires au service militaire
Pendant cinq jours, l'armée israélienne va contacter les déserteurs, principalement ultra-orthodoxes, en leur proposant d'annuler les sanctions s'ils s'enrôlent. « C'est une opportunité unique », affirment les responsables. L'armée affirme que sans une véritable loi sur la conscription, le nombre de déserteurs pourrait bientôt augmenter de 5 000 et atteindre des

Spent a lovely weekend with my lifelong friend, attending both an MCR and Linkin Park concert. But as usual, when getting filled in on the finer details of her life, I remain increasingly concerned about her husband. For all I write about the dangers of men, it was my super libfem older sister who asked me the obvious question today: "Does he even like her as a person?"

I don't think I'm being biased in saying my friend is fairly brilliant. She meandered a bit in her twenties at a job she did not like but after joining the military and getting specialized schooling seems to be a standout in whatever she does. Her husband is newly ex-military, flunked out of college twice, and each time we meet up (around 3 times a year) he has a new career endeavor. Each endeavor shares the following similarities:

1. They must move to somewhere that is both obscure and far away for him to take the job.
2. She must quit her own specialized military job and grad school to make the move.
3. It's something comparatively low level and lower paying than what she does, usually some kind of security guard.

Luckily so far everything has fallen through for him but on our recent meeting she came in with a complaint about her life which she usually doesn't have. The husband hosts a DnD group every couple weeks. She prepares and/or orders in food for everyone. The guests make a spectacular mess of the house. She takes it upon herself to clean it up. She hates this and also doesn't have the free time to keep participating in these long DnD sessions without assistance from other people.

In addition to that, she asked me how to make chicken. She has been a vegetarian her entire life so you can imagine my surprise. Apparently she bought a rotisserie chicken from the store for the husband but him spitting it out and making commentary on how it was dry apparently impacted her so much she is now fretting about how to cook chicken on her own for him... someone who historically doesn't even physically touch meat.

Did I mention they have guns stored all over the house?

I know my views on males at large are considered extreme by the general population. But if I loved someone, I wouldn't keep coming up with these scenarios that would require her putting her entire life on hold, having her clean up after my friends, or spitting out food she got me as a thoughtful gesture.

@HebrideanHecate @GalacticTurtleWe've got a law against coercive control in the UK, and we can report it if it's happening to someone else.

in reply to RadicalCartoons

@RadicalCartoons @HebrideanHecateThank you for the resource! The tricky thing with these friends and others in my life who have eventually found themselves in unhappy home situations is that it has never been so cut and dry as "Bob is beating the shit out of me, what do I do?" But rather, I'm aware they have certain life goals, but upon meeting Bob, those goals magically change overnight. They insist that this change is one they have their whole hearts behind, but in reality, it's just Bob's interests and goals replacing their own interests and goals. And it just deteriorates from there. My one friend packed her bags one evening and left in a hurry, which was ultimately the best option for her, but it's not something I want to relive again. I really think she got lucky, seeing as the retaliation on his part was rather limited. They certainly didn't have guns stored all over the house. And they lived in Los Angeles, not some field in New Jersey.

Israel must end the genocide in Gaza, Cuban FM asserts cubanews.acn.cu/world/27405-is…

CIA spymaster James Angleton shaped the US-Israeli relationship in secrecy. Newly unredacted files shed light on his wanton betrayal of his country to assist Israel’s theft of US nuclear material and global spying operations.

Veteran CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton secretly oversaw a top-level spy ring involving Jewish émigrés and Israeli operatives without “any clearances” from Congress or Langley itself, according to recently declassified documents published as part of the Trump administration’s pledge to disclose all available information on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The files provide a fresh and often disturbing look at a spy described by historian Jefferson Morley as “a leading architect of America’s strategic relationship with Israel,” detailing Angleton’s role in transforming the Mossad into a fearsome agency with global reach, while assisting Israel’s theft of US nuclear material and protecting Zionist terrorists.

You can submit war crimes evidence in Gaza directly to the International Criminal Court (ICC) via OTPLink (otplink.icc-cpi.int). The UN Human Rights Office (complaints.ohchr.org/Home) also accepts reports.

Don't assume somebody else already did. Especially if they come from smaller accounts.

Tip: keep files unaltered (metadata intact), use secure submission, and consider sending to multiple channels.

Oborne makes a series of important points that illustrate why the BBC’s slanted, Israel-friendly news agenda amounts to genocide denial, and means executives like Burgess are directly complicit in Israeli war crimes:

Hamas, with its light weapons, did not have the ability to inflict this kind of damage on Israel, and we know from Israeli witnesses, video footage and admissions from Israeli military officers that Israel was responsible for at least a share of the carnage that day. How much we will apparently never know because Israel is not willing to investigate itself, and media like the BBC are not doing any investigations themselves, or putting any pressure on Israel to do so.

@Basedshibe now if you want bro-op shooters, the best on the market is Deep Rock Galactic and it isn't close. L4D2 still holds up. I honestly liked Payday 1 way more than 2 because it was focused more on cooler bigger maps (the newbie bank in PD1 is a two story bank like from the Batman movie while PD2 is the corner store supermarket bank. Felt like the biggest downgrade) without the autistic perks and silly stealth dichotomy. But don't take that as a hard recommendation as its been 15 years since I have even thought about PD1. [Game redacted] wasn't just a meme it literally was worth the time we put in it sadly and it is hard to find a crimegame that I would call better.

And of course your viewers should have a vote too after all not just my autism
