As well they should be, both are liable to make children retarded and demean the our species as a whole.

On second thought I read that there is a high risk of suicide related to both groups. I say roll on douchebags, survival of the fittest. As long as you're not breeding go ahead with your make-up wearing self.

this is just a media stunt for making a $ selling sh*t and keep the masses distracted from the real problems of the world.

Haven?t you noticed that from time to time some event is "associated" by the media to some pseudo-cult, first was MTV, then its was the Video Games, now there are EMO's, its just a way to sell you crap and keep you distracted from the REAL problems.

Exactly. In the same way that people in this thread have the right to listen to whatever they want to, and dress how they like.

I really cannot believe the attitudes of some people in this thread. I'm not going to point out individuals, however, if you don't want to look at somebody, nobody's forcing you. If you don't want to take notice of what they look like, nobody's forcing you.

Just because somebody doesn't look like/dress like/listen to the same music as you, it doesn't mean it's wrong.

Exactly, my dad had a strong stereotypical view of my daughters boyfriend and friends till he actually met them face to face and found out you should never judge a book by it's cover. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Skin tight trousers have been around long before most of you people here, my dad wore than in the 50's /60's and I wore then in the 80's, they were unbelievably tight and if they had even a tiny tiny little bit you could pull we'd refuse to wear them calling them baggy :|

I thought they went away in the 70's. :)

I thought so too once.. oh yes.. they still lurk around in the deepest darkest mukiest areas of the society we live in today. Of course this is best illustrated by Eric cartman as you can find hippies in your attic, in your walls, etc. lmao.

I grew up with lots of goth friends and none of them were whiny or suicidal. Most of them "look" the way they did because they were angry at the world, not themselves, and/or did it to rebel against parents or normal standards of beauty in society. And by the "world" I mean government, or corrupt elements of society, or whatever was bothering them. It was a way to express themselves and make a statement through personal tastes. The music was always meant to be spooky, haunting, or whatever dark description can provide and not self loathing. Besides goth is just a stupid label anyway. I mean think about it; does the Cure sound like Marylin Manson? No, but the media would tell you that they're both goth. That is why the stereotyping is really garbage.

It's just like the media made out all raves to be drug-fests in the early 90's, which is a total crap. I used to be a "raver" and have seen more drugs at a concert-hall seeing smashing pumpkins than I ever saw at a rave. And I went to raves every weekend for a few years in the 90's.

It's all fictitious crap spewed by the media that way too many people consume.

Don't Believe the Hype.

What about my right not to have to see people that look like complete tools?
That's not a right. That's your judgement/perception.
There is not a fashion trend in the past 100 years that looks so stupid.

Again your judgement and perception. If it bother's you that much look the other way.

I say we put a stop to it not only so the rest of society doesn't have to look at them, but for their own good as well :p

You come off awfully ignorant, and selfish, almost like a prick! Do you realize that?

This is not fair at all.

They should ban all ugly, depressed and scruffy people.

What about those overly happy people too? they make me sick. :x

My point is, you shouldn't be able to outlaw how people feel and express themselves, unless it cause physical dangers to others. And don't give me bull**** about "pain and suffering" or "emotional distress".... Hell I've had people that upset me in the past because of their attitude and treatment of others. That doesn't mean its right for me to control them.

Oh boo hoo my ex dumped me. It upsets me to look at her, throw her in jail or make the government steal her rights in the name of my "rights".

Well Said. Also +1 for gigapixels post. It's astonishing how many close minded people have showed up in this thread. I don't like jocks (few exceptions) but it shouldn't be up to me or even the government if they are outlawed. IMO, that's just wrong!

The ignorance and arrogance and the sheer stupidity by the majority of the people in here makes me sick to the stomach. You know who you are. If you are against everything that is melancholy and dark, don't ever read shakespeare.

Those who label themselves as goths or emos chose to do so, because it is right for them. It does not matter if they're confused teenagers who have not yet found their place and meaning in this world or not. As long as they do not run around hurting other people, they have all the right to proceed as they wish (within the law).

All those of you who judge them for what they are (humans) must feel like you are a god yourself. It's quite honestly sickening. Why didn't this topic get closed yet?

What if your government would ban HipHop look, Skateboarders or whatever subculture you are part of? Does not seem right, now does it? You guys need to think for once! :(

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.

      By Copernic · Posted

      Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 by Razvan Serea Subtitle Edit is a powerful, free, and user-friendly subtitle editing tool designed for creating, editing, and converting subtitles for videos. It supports a wide range of subtitle formats, including SRT, ****, and SUB, allowing users to easily modify and adjust subtitles for accurate timing and formatting. With its intuitive interface, Subtitle Edit provides a variety of features such as waveform audio display, spell-check, subtitle synchronization, and real-time video preview, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and professionals. The software also includes powerful tools for batch processing, translating subtitles, and converting between different subtitle formats. Subtitle Edit features: Create/adjust/sync/translate subtitle lines Convert between SubRib, MicroDVD, Advanced Sub Station Alpha, Sub Station Alpha, D-Cinema, SAMI, youtube sbv, and many more (300+ different formats!) Cool audio visualizer control - can display wave form and/or spectrogram Video player uses mpv, DirectShow, or VLC media player Visually sync/adjust a subtitle (start/end position and speed) Audio to text (speech recognition) via Whisper or Vosk/Kaldi Auto Translation via Google translate Rip subtitles from a (decrypted) dvd Import and OCR VobSub sub/idx binary subtitles Import and OCR Blu-ray .sup files - bd sup reading is based on Java code from BDSup2Sub Can open subtitles embedded inside Matroska files Can open subtitles (text, closed captions, VobSub) embedded inside mp4/mv4 files Can open/OCR XSub subtitles embedded inside divx/avi files Can open/OCR DVB and teletext subtitles embedded inside .ts/.m2ts (Transport Stream) files Can open/OCR Blu-ray subtitles embedded inside .m2ts (Transport Stream) files Merge/split subtitles Adjust display time Fix common errors wizard....and more. Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
