I don’t really understand still but thanks for trying all the same.

I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one thinking it!

Do you think it could be done by diffing a few of the different language tracks?

Try clementine/strawberry music player on your laptop. They scan your music library and apply a volume normalization value to each track.

I have a semi-related question if you don’t mind. People often complain about the voice tracks in movies being hard to hear, especially if you don’t have a speaker for the center channel (but even then I have trouble)

Why haven’t they solved this problem by packaging the voice track separately on the bluray/stream so you can turn up the volume of the voices only without blowing your ears out when the music hits?

I explain it roughly as “Veganism is when you at least believe that the combined values of non-human animals’ freedom, rights, freedom from pain and suffering, ecological impact of factory farming of animals, social impact of slaughterhouses, societal impact of allowing a class of “lesser” commodified sentient beings propping up and holding space for other axes of oppression, public health impact, and personal feelings of guilt at very least might be any amount greater than their value when made into a burger, or shoes, or glue. Everything you associate with vegans (diet) is a logical consequence thereof”

It doesn’t seem to help anyway because they still keep asking a bunch of seemingly obvious questions that verge on sealioning, but it at least seems to keep the conversation on track.

Being vegan (like arguing in defense of any minority) is a crash course in what suspender-slapping, exclusively crowd playing, bad faith, debate nerd, and fake arguments look like. Once you genuinely pick up one cause on even one axis of oppression, you quickly learn to see through a lot of bullshit. I believe veganism to be the most effective of all for exposing this.
