The specific thing that made me mention it was this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEGSijQFIDg&t=1487s (excuse the bad music, it's just an example). Like he is twisting so many knobs but it doesn't seem like it changes anything that I can hear anyway.

I used to poke fun at my boyfriend a lot because he produces electronic music. I always figured that nobody ever really knew what all those knobs did and just twiddled blindly until something they liked happened. But I started dabbling into sound design myself. Knobs are infinite potential. Knobs are life. :science:

A lot of what the garbage music man in the video was doing was basically just sidechaining and futzing around with sample rates -- a common thing that a lot of producers, good and bad, do that looks impressive to an audience but is a pretty average part of making the music in general.

I guess my pet peeve is how drat hard it is for electronic musicians to engage an audience. You go and see a band or something, and you're impressed with the music and the band as people but, going to electronic shows, people just show up to dance or nod or whatever the mood calls for. Lot of people could give a poo poo less that the actual musician is there. People like Flying Lotus get it halfway right with high quality projection shows, but it always seems a little impersonal still. No idea what makes the concept so hard.

Yeah it's just hard to tell what the knobs are doing without being familiar with what they even can do. I'm sure it's plainly obvious to people who have experience in it. As a non-peeve side-question, why does he keep taking his headphones off and putting them back on?

There are non-serrated steak knives.


There are also serrated knives with actual sharpened edges that cut fairly cleanly. (These get sharpened with a round ceramic file.)


there are many kinds of good knives

Twenty five odd years of electronic music shows being an excuse to take drugs and party would be my guess.

Plus a lot of electronic musicians are probably just awkward people to start, especially new electronic musicians. Futzing with a DAW in your bedroom doesn't really lend itself to developing any kind of stage presence, and a lot of that community is mostly online so even if they're social, they're not in-person social. Add to that they're basically hidden behind equipment and a lot of their interaction is messing with samples and you don't have a whole lot of ways to communicate with the audience.

watch his non-hell's kitchen or US kitchen nightmares shows. The over the top angry stuff is just a persona he puts on. He might not be the best person outside of it but he's not that mean, unless you're an alleged professional chef who can't cook a scallop in his kitchen then he might be irritated.

Unrelated sidenote: watch his documentary thing about shark finning. You would think when one of the most successful chefs in the world says in front of a camera that there is no culinary value/reason to use shark fins in food people would listen, but they don't. Actual peeve: people who turn a blind eye to stuff like the eradication of sharks because they are scary and the whole "gently caress the ocean" attitude.

That doc was just fear mongering about the Chinese population in Britain. I don't see Ramsay showing how the ducks suffer when they create foie gras. Suddenly he's concerned for the well being of sharks?

Just because he doesn't care equally about everything doesn't mean the facts (not opinions) about shark finning are wrong. It's not a ramsay thing, he just has a prominent documentary about a real issue. How was it even fear mongering? It showed people cutting off a shark's limbs alive and being tossed back in the ocean. Am I supposed to see that and say "yeah sure that's fine" because the chinese like it?

And besides, you can tell by the way he talks in the documentary he would have been cool with it if it actually was some delicious delicacy instead of a tasteless "it's expensive because rich people want it" luxury.

The whole thing only targets a minority non-white group for a practice that isn't even that bad. Why is killing a shark that way more cruel than something like eating a dozen oysters while they are alive. I bet Ramsay's restaurants go through a billion oysters a year and it's not like oysters taste particularly good. Westerners think it's an aphrodisiac, but only really like it because it's considered a luxury. Chinese think of shark fin the same way.

sorry you're an goddamn idiot about animals and think it's somehow racist? Oysters don't have brains, Sharks do. Oysters can live in farms(this is where most of them come from also), Sharks can't and are also various shades of endangered.

Again, you can think more than one thing is bad at the same time. A ton of people will strongly disagree with you about oysters not tasting good. Oysters aren't even a luxury, there's a raw oyster bar in basically every moderate sized town that's anywhere near an ocean. Shark fin is not even close to the same thing.

I've been disgusted by a lot of goon opinions but this tops them all, like seriously, severing all the limbs of a sentient animal and dumping it because its flesh isn't worth enough is "not that bad"? e: because i feel like I need to emphasize it to get through to you: while it's still alive

e2: serious question mu zeta: hypothetically if white people were doing this instead of the chinese, would you still have no problem with it?

Sub oysters for literally anything else they serve in his restaurants then. Like veal. Do we really need to be killing cute babies. Has ramsay expressed disgust for any other practice besides the shark thing? Why just the sharks?

Stop trying to make this about gordon himself. It's an issue of animal cruelty. Just because he ignores other cases doesn't mean he's wrong about sharks, like I said at the beginning.

if it was a "minority chinese group" sharks wouldn't be going extinct so quickly because of finning. Look up the numbers. China isn't some obscure small country.

And I'm saying Ramsay doesn't care. He's totally fine with ducks being tortured and he'll happily slaughter pigs until they go extinct. The doc is about the Chinese being backward, primitive, and barely a civilization. The best part was the finale scene where he brings out a group of chinese restaurant owners and lectures them about being monsters in front of a bunch of cameras.
