It’s really weird to make a blanket statement like that because different people have very different salaries and expenses. Especially in reference to the US where these things heavily depend on the state a person resides in.

That’s a horrible outlook, and I’m sorry you’ve been driven to that point. I understand, as I have been there before.

Now that I’m older, I realize that pulling the lever is the right thing to do as much as it hurts. I don’t think letting apathy win and watching the government go full Fash was the correct choice, but I don’t blame you, or others who decided the same. The system isn’t going to collapse, though, it’s just going to get a lot shittier for awhile.

Dude, you don’t know any of these people or what they do IRL. To go off like this for no reason is just some insane people stuff. Get some help, and get off social media if it makes you so upset that you create little stories in your mind of what people do or don’t do with their lives.

Pussy-pooped is definitely my word of the day now. Appreciate you spreading the good word.

I think you misunderstand how money is made off of these kind of things. Companies like TikTok, and YouTube make money by showing you ads and collecting data on you to sell.

A federated app, like this one we are talking about, is ad free, open source, and does not collect data on it’s users for resale. Video hosting costs a lot of money, so unless users are willing to donate to keep it up and running, it will quickly run out of server space to host videos.

If you want transportation with fire, ride a dragon.

Username checks out. I see you everywhere, and your comments often make me happy.

I definitely agree with you that cars are terrible, and I wish they didn’t exist. Even though I’m a hater, I gotta admit the engineering and history behind them fascinates me, still.

When you break it down, yeeting a small piece of metal, accurately, up to a mile, through the use of handheld controlled explosions, is way cooler than just yeeting a pointy stick with another stick and a string. So, I am inclined to agree with you.

From an engineering standpoint, firearms are so much more fascinating.

Yea, I’m a millenial, and I remember mostly only interacting with old Macintosh LCs in elementary school, and then Windows 95 and up after that. My uncle had an old Tandy computer running DOS, that I remember at least learning how to run a game on, but by the time I was interacting with a computer, regularly, Windows 95 and AOL were the most common thing.

Usenet is awesome, but the fact that you have to pay for Usenet access defeats the main purpose of pirating for a lot of people.

Don’t get me wrong, it is super cheap(60$-100$/year?) and worth it to pay for Usenet from what I understand, but as a poor kid that discovered torrenting out of necessity, paying for Usenet back then would’ve been out of the question. I imagine a lot of Gen Z kids feel the same about it at this point in their lives.

Oof. Glad to hear you are okay, and hope your muscle strain feels better soon.

Well then, let the pitchforks come out. What a huge piece of shit. Glad he’s being charged, and hopefully the sentence isn’t too light.

Really appreciate the update!

Yep, this is coming from the most ‘leftist’ candidates we are allowed to vote for. Pretty fucked up options we get to choose from. I hate it here.

From the looks of the video it doesn’t necessary look like the dog was tied up, but that maybe it escaped its house/owner and got its leash stuck in the fence. It’s still sad, and especially fucked up if the owners left the dog behind, somehow, but I don’t want to jump to the conclusion that this happened on purpose until there is further info on it.

That heel toe technique stuff is black magic to me as a simple guitar player. I play in a metal band, and our drummer does that double heel toe technique, and it just looks like it shouldn’t work, but it does somehow. Even being able to do it with a single foot version is insane.

I love jazz and have nothing but respect for Jazz drummers and musicians, in general. The insane amount of knowledge and practice required to play odd time signatures and be able to improvise is not lost on me.

Are you unaware of the existence of electronic drum kits?

There’s also just the fact that some people have rooms that are separated far enough from other residences for this to bother anyone. Most cities even have specific band practice spaces for rent, outside of residential areas.

Its weird to just assume that people have no consideration of others.

All you gotta do is play some Metal. I would imagine that the continuous double bass drums in stuff like death metal should probably get to marathon distance step count pretty quickly.

It’d be interesting to see one of these things on someone like Tomas Haake from Meshuggah.

In an imaginary sane and just world, they would have their pharmacists license taken away for that.

Not really. Just Sega CD. The PlayStation and the Saturn both came out in 1994 so they were directly competing with each other. The Dreamcast didn’t come out until 1998, after the PlayStation was already successful.
