But seriously, great way to see the technology used and data distributed. One day I can only hope to grasp a more complete understanding of the software and how to apply it to do shit like this.
"Paid for by the emperor, the games were used to keep the poor and unemployed entertained and occupied. The emperor hoped to distract the poor from their poverty in the hopes that they would not revolt."
There are very similar undertones when compared to the Colosseum games in Rome.
Yea you're not wrong. The Republicans are playing the long game here. They're really getting involved with the youth, I mean just look at rumble for example and whatever other medium they've been using. The Democrats are virtually non-existent it feels like on the social networking side of things or maybe it's just the Right is obnoxiously loud. It's scary man, if they can mobilize and weaponize the younger demographic voters then what does that spell for the short term (2028) or even the longer term when their ideals are fully cemented and are less likely to be swayed unless a serious upheaval happens.
Yea, most musicians are generally not that well off and have as much free time as you think. Most still work some sort of regular job to offset the cost of living and equipment because they won't make the money they need to survive solely off of the money from gigs. They do it because they love it and not because they're making tons of money and have ample free time. Their hobby is music, so whatever downtime they have from regular life, they fill it with playing and writing music. If you're fortunate enough to be signed to a label, you're on the road for months out of the year gigging and constantly immersed in your music, and that definitely isn't a health benefit either. There is a thing down here called the Musicians Clinic - musicians don't have a typical job and therefore don't have access to medical insurance like they would if they worked a 9-5 with benefits, so it supplements that to keep them healthy.
