     Thread on reddit about a study that's brought out discussion of sexual assault/harassment of men, and this comment just...

     This (lady) is talking about how the male pharmacist at her work gets all sorts of nasty comments, touched inappropriately (customers, female coworkers) and how she doesn't say anything because 'he can handle it better than I can'.

     MY GIRL, he shouldn't HAVE TO 'handle it' all by himself.

     Literally a thread about how when men and women receive similar (bad thing), women are seen as harmed more, and here's this lass fully acknowledging witnessing regular sexual harassment, but 'he can handle it so I'm not going to say anything'.

     MY GIRL, DO SOMETHING.

     On the plus side I finally got this mp3 audio analyser code to work and give me intensity ratings from 1-10.

     Right now that's only 1-10 over an individual file, but you can spot the drop and sudden slam on songs, so that's a win.

     It should just have an intensity rating of 'rocks my hairy anus' that comes up whenever SYL is fed into it.

     Ok, so knives are meant to move at 6-9 cm/s, and I'm seeing a comment from someone who said that the best way would be to have your knife - oddly enough - moving backwards while the enemy pushes at you and that would have made for a cool fight scene.

     Either way, it seems like there's a lot of people saying 'why was that fight scene so quick?', so I'm not wrong in thinking that it looked weird.

     Now my brain's just going through the catalogue of all the times I've been (very nonconsensual) groped by women.

     (and there are too many to remember, so that's even worse)

     Hell, the most recent one was only about a month ago.

     I hate this shit so much, and the fact that if I try to say anything, there's a 99% chance of 'well, you're a guy, RIGHT?'

     Fuck you.

     I can understand personally wanting to be groped, that is a kink, but not understanding that some people don't want that is harmful.
     So weird to me that people don't get that.

     A few hours later, and I'm still really fucking angry about that comment from the lady who's just letting her coworker get regularly sexually harassed/assaulted because 'he can handle it'

     Right in a thread about how harm to men is rated lower by society when compared to similar harm to women, there it fuckin' is.

     Really bringin' back a lot of bad memories, and I hate it.

     I think intensity ratings (of clips) ranging from 1-10 is probably a mistake. 1-5 is probably enough.

     I might just do 'fit to X +/- 1' so it's not quite 1-5, but a little fudgey.

     So, #Fortnite have done this thing where they merged all the season passes together to use account-season level gain rather than individual metacurrencies to redeem items.

     (previously levels would give you stars to spend on battlepass items, and lego pass stuff would be redeemed with 'studs' earned via quests. Music pass was similar to lego pass, etc

     Now it's all just 'you get to redeem X items from Y pass' as you level up, which I don't find as great, but I can understand the slipstreaming)

     On Epic's side of the house, it means that you get 'free' items on each of the passes (Battlepass, OG pass, Lego and Music) for doing other things, and you might be like 'well, I have completed the pass so I may as well just spend the money and get ALL the items'

     Certainly, I'm looking at the OG pass and thinking 'well...' (but I don't like the skins, etc on offer)

     Mapping song-intensity over a single song does give some pretty interesting data points.

     Now, I guess, the question is how you handle that over multiple mp3s in a playlist.

     Like, the code basically takes max intensity and gives it a ten, but that's one song at a time. One song's MAX might be another song's 1/3rd, etc

     I guess the answer here is to analyse all the songs in the playlist and then scale the intensity over all of them?

     But then you can't reuse individual data for mp3s.

     It's not an uber problem. Analysing an 8min mp3 is like, 30 seconds.

     @DarkestKale the absolute degree to which SA is trivialised when it's men who are victimised cannot be understated.

     Solidarity, obviously, and the yelling at people about this shit that necessarily goes with that.
