santa is haram. Only jesus is allowed.

follow through lies are always the solution 👍

no thats the point. I genuinely think you might be unlucky enough that this lie stays with the kid for too long. might even reject other classmates attempts at clearing it out because your kid trusts you. Also critical thinking involves dividing facts from fiction, and you dont teach this by telling fiction. If thats a white lie i dont wanna see your actual lies.

Im pretty sure someone tried. And if they are unlucky enough your kid might even ignore input from other classmates telling him that this is bullshit for longer than a few years. Because your parents wouldnt be wrong, right?

No one: Me telling my kid there is sunday school:

Idk how to tell you but there are people in here that think this is a good idea. If it is all sarcasm then thank god, but i doubt it is, since they are arguing it.

well if you dont even manage to keep this stunt covered for a year then maybe you are just stupid for trying in the first place.

Its lying. I mean i dont judge. If you want to teach your kid how to lie your way out of developing any spine, i dont wanna stop you. Not telling the whole truth can even be interpreted as lying.

It will be pretty obvious that you did this out of self interest. If you wanna teach your kid to lie themselves out of putting any effort, this is the way to do it. Its the only conclusion for your child that critical thinking will bring. No one will trust your kid to do any work, this means it will have to fend for itself. There will definitely corrective info from classmates, teachers, but by that time the damage is already done, and the only lesson that remains will be that your dad/mom is a terrible human beeing.

These arent meant to be spoken out loud anyway.

i lived above three. The intersection is pee.

I think musicbee had a plugin that could do that, havnt had any quick success with it.

Killer samples are lossy sounds that are distinguishable from lossless regardless of bitrate. They are usually handcrafted extremes that you wouldnt find in any real audio.

Its a shame that you NEED a secondary lossy archive. You can only do true on-the-fly functionality when the syncing and music app are not seperate. Currently i use MusicBee for the transcoding and resilio for the syncing. I should propably switch over to syncthing too tho.

how much of that did you at least listen to once

There could be a metric fuckton of reasons why the file on your computer and the file you downloaded from a store sound different, but the codec most definitely is not one of them, assuming they are good first gen lossy encodes.

I collect flac wherever i can on my Computer and sync it to my phone with transcode to lossy. I agree tho, a good lossy encode cannot be distinguished from their lossless version. Even less when you dont have the immediate comparison.

Three reasons:

• collectors appeal -> music on the internet comes and goes. Chances are that your file that you downloaded randomly becomes the only one available. having it in best available quality is the icing on the cake.
• generational loss -> the ability to transfer your music to any future media you like without/with minimal loss. Also if you remix/cut/edit stuff it keeps quality high
• killer samples -> given more agressive music, codecs might fail. There are some examples on hydrogenaudio.

Thats why most of my yotuube downloads is .mka I found that matroska has better support than webm or ogg lol

Under 100 kbps it sounds significantly better. I have decided that i dont want to choose on the least shitty lossy option tho, when i can have flac.
