I remember my buddy getting a whole bunch of viewsonic CRTs from his dad who worked at a professional animation studio. They could do up to 2048×1536 and they looked amazing, but were heavy as fuck for lan parties lol. I loved that monitor though, when i finally 'upgraded' to an lcd screen it felt like a downgrade in alot of ways except desk real estate.

He released some glitch/acid jazz stuff under the name acidwolf thats pretty good too, but not as good imo. The range of his flashbulb stuff is just incredible though, and i dont think hes ever made a song i dont like

I fucking love the flashbulb. Way underrated. Been my favorite artist for almost 20 years now.

Or better yet leave it on and at home, with some timed messages set to be sent out.

Always speak using the terms SWIM, someone who isn't me, to avoid legal culpability. Or post as if it were your goldfish or hamster describing their piracy activities. This is foolproof, i learned this secret spell in the ancient era.

Yeah i scrolled through the hundred or so pages of flowery nonsense youve posted in just the last day too, until my thimbs got tired. Flooding the space with low effort regurgitated AI slop is maybe not the meaningful contribution of "substance" that you think it is.

Lmao okay yeah, nice ideas chatGPT. Im sure that 'prompt engineering' is real tough work.

Edit* also i didnt downvote you, i don't see that as productive and i dont disagree with the content of most of your comments. Youre not gonna convince me you weren't using AI though.

This guy goes around posting annoyingly formatted AI summaries of everything, its actually getting pretty annoying.

Its been a long time since ive used it but last.fm might be better for discovering obscure genre types than spotify. Spotify wants to generalize and distill their recommendations as much as possible because they want to appeal to a broad audience but iirc last.fm uses user tags to classify the music so its more likely something is tagged with the obscure search terms you're looking for.

Hopefully .world will serve as a quarantine instance for all the cringe-ass former redditors who love strawmen and reductionism and lame as fuck sayings like "tankie triad" and "narwhal bacon"

Do you know how impossible it would be to invade canada? It would be the most damaging war of attrition ever fought. Our population is so spread out, our land border is huge, and we could keep moving around high value targets/waging guerrilla style warfare basically endlessly. Its not like theres many chokepoints or strategic locations that could be very easily held onto. Just look at ukraine and imagine that but way worse. Plus having to defend your own border against people who look and speak just like you and could disappear into your population effortlessly. The resistance would destroy the US and probably end up with them turning on their own population.

I think its the ratings of all the episodes. Probably from imdb. I thought it was season.episode at first too, and assumed it must be counting the first two seasons of ds9 as seasons 8 and 9 since tng only goes up to 7, but that doesn't make sense for a number of reasons.

Just to note, in a few years theres a convergence of when the major union contracts are up for renegotiation, so they're already planning for a general strike. So it sucks having to wait until may 2028, but do what you can to get as many unions off the ground and onboard in the meantime. Getting any new unions going would probably be the most impactful thing you could do regardless of if there is a general strike, as it increases the negotiating power, and anyone not in a union is in a really difficult position if and when a strike does happen.

My money is on ReX. Fits with his whole juvenile theme and has the added bonus of making him feel like a classical king. Also rhymes with X.

Ah okay i misunderstood. Regardless there were far more harmful things influencing everyone in the 70s than nicotine, like the thousands of toxic additives and carcinogens in secondhand smoke, or the lead in the paint and the gasoline.

This would be beautiful. I remember when there were mod-chip stores beside internet cafes, where i could bring my xbox and pay to have a chip and a hard drive installed that let me copy any game i wanted from a rented disk or downloaded off the internet right onto the console. I still have that console and pulled it out during quarantine to make use of the huge library of games on the hard drive. Having this sort of freedom for all types of goods and electronics would be incredible, but i doubt it will ever happen.

I mean sure, nicotine is technically a psychoactive drug. But so is caffeine and theobromine, so should we stop giving kids chocolate? Ban all coffee shops? Honestly not sure what your point is here. Everything is drugs, at least a little.

Youd be much better off trying to unionize your coworkers, that would be far more damaging to the fascist ubercapitalists, and much more beneficial for the workers morale.

I remember there being a few cases of mdma 'overdose' in the late 90s/early 2000s that actually ended up being due to water toxicity.

This is just not true. https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3?tab=readme-ov-file#6-how-to-run-locally
