Where did I claim to be an expert on audio recording and processing?

You did not. I did not imply that you did so.

I just stated my opinion that it sounds fake.

That's the problem. Since you have no idea about audio recording and processing, why did you end up with an opinion on the matter? I know absolutely nothing about deer hunting - would it make any sense for me to have an opinion about some deer hunt?

That said, the difference in the sound quality is due to the location of the recording. Were it made on the US side instead, you'd be hearing Biden crystal clear and Poroshenko's voice muffled. You can test this easily with your friends and an impromptu recording.

The big paragraph you wrote is correct. But that's unrelated to the validity of your premise.

You probably want to be real to yourself and admit that you know nothing about audio recording and processing, especially when it comes to long-distance group calls. With that realization, you might also want to consider that your assertion is completely wrong.

Well, assuming you're not reading textbooks, you'll find horrendous things all across the ages.

Here's an anecdote for your entertainment.

Philip II, king of Macedon, had a male slave called Pausanias of Orestis. They were fucking like mad. But at some point the king gets bored with him and gets a younger male lover and then flaunts him at the face of PO, because why not.

PO gets mad and calls Biden to ... no wait. Anyway PO gets mad and calls his fixer to make it so the younger dude gets killed in battle. That was a bad call, because that younger dude happened to be close with a guy very high in the hierarchy of power, Bill... eh, no, Attalus.

Attalus gets pissed off, so he naturally gets PO drunk then proceeds to rape him. Which is legal because PO is a slave so who gives a shit.

Apparently PO gave a shit, so he goes to complain to Philip. Now Philip is in a dilemma. He wants to piss at Attalus for kicking his dog, buuuut Byzantine politics can't keep a candle to Macedonian game of thrones, so it's complicated and ain't nobody got time fo dat.

So Philip gives PO a promotion and makes him his personal bodyguard because "aren't you happy now bitch?". Not surprisingly PO isn't very happy and so he goes and kills Philip.


Our time the most decadent ever? Ha. Don't even get me started with Rome, where the real shit went down.

Nonsensical platitudes, you should open a history book.

"Your politics don't define your identity"

Um, how is that possible? They don't necessarily define your future identity, but they sure do play their part in your current one.

Make no mistake - it's always about control. Masters of the Universe aside, the only goal of bureaucracy as an institution is to enlarge itself.

Normies know nothing about the stuff here and that doesn't make the stuff here any less real. Left symbolism is real. Now, does that mean that in this specific instance the rose is there to represent the left symbolism? Fuck if I know.

This great man was a hardcore Marxist, until he took a job in the government :D

He belongs to the tiny minority of people who have an amazing combo: {very smart, intellectually honest to themselves}.

Most people pick a team to cheer and never have the balls to question their choice, regardless of the reality - even if they have the intellectual capacity to do so.

This time, it wasn't even for the children. It was for the elderly, with one foot on the grave.

Orwell was a naive idealist, very much left leaning. He went and fought on the Spanish "civil" war with the side of the commies. But his naivete was due to inexperience.

Once he was on the ground, he saw the nakedly harsh in-fighting between the various Marxist groups - his being on the losing side. When his side eventually lost the internal power struggle, he was prosecuted and convicted (in absence, since he had managed to escape) as a traitor.

So he learned the realities of the world from experience and his intellect allowed him to do a great exposition of it, in a way that is accessible for everyone to see.

In short - he was an anarcho-socialist whose party was basically thoroughly crushed by the commie-socialists, so he had first-hand experience.

The analogy with the car enthusiasts pretty much nails it.
