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?!!
The history of pondering started in the era of Gorgamel, during the second dynasty of the luke warm giants. Teridius the meticulous was decorating his garden, when he spotted a round, reflective object.
As he sat down and started to stare at it he was spotted by a light catcher trying to steal the souls of the local faerie populace. This image was spread from mirrors to reflective ponds across the lands.
Old Teridius had suddenly spurred on a trend that would take the wizard college by storm, and have the local witches covens giggling over whose orb was most shiney.
And so ends this fake fantasy history lesson, largely because my team lead is banging on the stall door, telling me I'm not supposed to ponder the orb on company time. Screw you, Terry, it's a mental health provision and you're actively hindering it. Maybe you should ponder the orb - you creep.
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.
"We had it twice as rough as you" is something your father can never say. Like I have to yell at boomers in particular because they're too brainwashed to actually see what's going on around them, let alone empathizing with the youth.
Honestly, I view it as elderly abuse what he's been going through, from both the political media and the democrats. Heck, even Obama pointed out the age barrier problem.
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.
...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.
I think the world has learned from this, since we're abstracting and decoupling much more than before, as well as developing new and modernising old tooling all the time to lower that barrier to entry.
Shout outs to the game Devs who had to deal with this shit for 3 years straight, as their keyboards were probably salty from all the crying, their rubber ducky all crumpled and deflated.
haha this is a careful reminder that language experts have been combing over old orthodox greek texts, and reminded us that the stoics never made an exception for women and slaves. That shit was added by misogynyst and racist Europeans long after the fact.
Also, additionally, the stoics would hate some of the self proclaimed stoics of today, because they don't understand stoicism, let alone any other philosophy.
In fact, if anyone calls them self a stoic, chances are they are repressive, delusional and living in their tiny, disinformed and narcecistic bubbles and listen to Andrew Tate as well as Joe Rogan podcasts, both which also would be hated by the stoics, because they are fake intellectuals.
"But stoics don't feel hate"
You can't possibly be this stupid. They had an absolute disdain for anti-intellectualism, or those who posed as intellectuals.
The real crux of stoicism? When do you apply scepticism, when do you apply cynicism, what notions do you actually entertain in your brain hole? That's it. It's literally a priority system for your brain.
Ipso facto: these fuckfaces with podcasts ain't stoics. They're just narcecists.
Ha. "Estimates".
