This, and the WordPress mess, are two contenders for this years “wtf are u even doing” award.

I put peepee in the doodoofard.

haha no.

Listen, if there isn’t a server you can download maps and umods on that allows you to fly a shark in the sky with redeemer rockets over a Burger King, then I’m not interested…

UT99 was too good for us.

Ext4 is faster, but I love BTRFS not just because of CoW, but subvolumes as well. You could probably get something similar going with LVFS, but I prefer that to be baked in, hence why I’m waiting for bcachefs, because it’ll up the ante with tighter integration, so that might translate to better performance.

Notice my use of the word might. BTRFS performance is not so great.

I’m going to switch from BTRFS at some point, but at this point that’s going to be a few years down the line.

Oooo, someone wants to be in the history books as “the guy who wanted to end the conflict.”

No deal, Lukashenko. You’ll always be a Boris Yeltsin knockoff, and a bootlicker, and a spineless shill, so sayeth history.

Well of course it’s a timeline, it’s the timeline of hell.

Also known as Jimbo’s gambit.

Repeat after me: they’re coming right for us~! And then you murder all the civilians.

Strawman? Where TF do you see a strawman? Is it somewhere behind your whataboutism?

“There is corruption in other countries too you know”… yeah, thanks. We talk about them separately because it’s necessary to analyse each one individually.

But, as a matter of indulgence we can say that US regulations are much more lax than in the EU proper, which is tbf also culpable in petroleum, gas and yee olde capitalist exploitation, but it is still a far cry away from China, India and Russia, because those are highly authoritarian countries that are ruled by oligarchies that do not GIVE A FUUUCK about their citizens, even much more so than even the US.

In any case, wtf does all that have to do with the history of the EPA being made a limp dick by way of lobbying and intentionally ineffective policies? The point remains the same, the EPA has been weakened and it’s apparent all across the US - word to Flint, Michigan.

Time for a damn reform I say.

The empire must expand, and expand it will, through ethnic cleansing… or, you know, don’t - because that’s what the nazis do, and you don’t wanna be a nazi, do ya?

Nazi Jews… what a time to be alive.

Ha. “Estimates”.

Anyone under the delusion that the EPA hasn’t been hamstrung by lobbying and special interests? Trump wants to get rid of it, because it’s such a thorn in one’s side when you can’t just destroy entire environments at the behest shareholders.

Won’t somebody please think of the shareholders?!!

Well it isn’t rape… according to Israeli law. It only qualifies as rape if it’s against Jewish women. Sorry, Christian women. You’re fair game. It’s like that old adage, “if we’re running from a bear, I don’t need to outrun the bear”…

So, basically, Maduro managed to rig the election again, and couldn’t be stopped by the opposition, because he threatened them with persecution through dog whistling.

But, not is all lost, because internally there is hope for reform. A slow moving reform, but still.

Anything south of the border is subject to US “intervention”. If the US didn’t sanction and embargo them to hell, since - y’know, global economy - there wouldn’t be a wave of migrants heading their way in the first place. The US is world champion in gun-to-foot policies.

Let south America have their social democracies, like the Nordics, and stop conflating it with communism - you mealy mouthed troglodytes.

In fact, Europe needs to stop talking about a trade deal with South America and just do it already, sidestepping their bully big brother in the north.

When it comes to hip-hop? There was an enlightenment period where my heart still lies, before the stigma of being a “conscious rapper”, “underground” - or even “backpacker”.

I call this record industry psy-ops, because the music media tried to use it against anyone that didn’t fit the bill. How do I know that?

THEY TRIED TO CALL JAY DILLA A BACKPACKER

Philistines, troglodytes, absolute cretins, scum of the earth. Dear god I hate the record industry.

Incidentally, if you want to go back into the past, I can recommend Quannum Records, the indie label of Blackalicious, Lifesavas, Latyrix and Lyrics Born.

Other than that, Def Jux, Rhymesayers (the mixtapes, get the friggin mixtapes), Stones Throw - ofc. Back when you needed an indie label.

Today we can happily say that bedroom productions will be the saving grace, mostly because it is seperate from the industry, so we do get a lot of great music.

But it also proves the industry is a homogeneous bottleneck.

The sad thing? Country used to be rebellious… I mean actually rebellious, none of this Trojan horse nationalism and fascism disguised as “traditionalism”.

We’re talking Johnny Paycheck, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and the queen her self, Dolly Parton.

But, as of late, I’ve said this:

Shout outs to the women of country, for bringing back the tradition - of writing songs about shooting your spouse in the face.

Keep the dream alive.

…I can’t. You can find them on various features, with among others De La Soul, but the point is they left. You’d have to amass the amount of hip-hop music that I have and draw a timeline where you can see them being phased out.

It’s around the time LL Cool J turned into a sex symbol and when De La had to “add some badass to perlong their life over the drum.”

One of these days I want to do the whole research route, but just so I can juxtapose it to country - which also suffered the same fate, only a half a century earlier.

Capitalism is a slow crawl to mediocrity and exploitation. No culture can really survive it.

As a strong black woman, I’m kind of pissed that we lost all those talented female lyricists and R&B singers who got Thanos snapped out of existence in the late 90s because they didn’t want to sell sex. It makes me want to slap a bitch for calling it “empowerment”…

At least my inner black woman is angry af because of that.

The music industry is garbage, pure garbage. Sony and Universal execs have a special place in hell.
