In Johnny Cash’s “Live from Folsom Prison” album there is a song called ‘cocaine blues’. The first verse goes like this:

early one morning while making the rounds

I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down

I went right home and I went to bed

I stuck that loving forty-four beneath my head.

I keep this in my back pocket when conservatives claim that Rap and Hip Hop glorify violence, guns, misogyny, and drug use. I defy you to find something from NAS or Killer Mike that can compete on the level of classic country.

Don’t confuse patriotism with nationalism. Patriotism is love for one’s homeland, nationalism is a delusion of blood and soil.

Capitalists are so fucking innovative that they’re trying to replace unpaid human labor with robots that are worse and cost money.

Your argument is more out of date than Vista. Windows is not the default because people like their software, or would choose it over anything else. It’s because they’ve positioned themselves as the default monopoly since the goddamn 1980s.

To see what happens when Microsoft has to compete on quality of software, just ask yourself why Copilot and Recall aren’t being rolled out on Windows phones.

You conflate being Asian (a resident of a continent) with Slavic (a cultural group). So what is race? A coordinate, or a cuisine?

Race is so unreal that you can’t even keep the lore straight in your own head.

Spaces like 8cun and kiwifarms are very welcoming to regular type dudes with centrist politics and mainstream opinions. They’re not nasty, unreasonable, and deranged like us. They’ll never challenge a man who identifies as normal.

It’s really hard to hurt another person when you feel their pain.

Consider the sadist. How can you enjoy someone’s suffering if you can’t recognize it?

The most wicked people are advanced empaths.

Heroin.

Of course a suicide would have advance knowledge of their own death. It’s not unusual for suicidal people to lie about their own mental health. Especially to their closest loved ones.

What you point out could only support a vague suspicion; a motive to look for compelling evidence. Hanging a whole murder conspiracy on evidence this thin is not the product of critical thought.

This must have been planned well before the strike on Russian airbases (which itself was in the works for over a year).

Stopping the genocide is a necessity. Getting “justice” for the genocide is a luxury.

Palestinians will not forget what happened. No matter the media cycle or influencers.

We don’t know. Forces in and near black holes break physics. There is tons of speculation, but speculation is all there is.

No disrespect to Ron Pearlman, but, because of drones, war has changed.

Cops be like: I can’t be a racist, look my wife’s eye is black!

It’s funny that you state “Yes that’s how democracy works” only to go on to explain that democracy not only doesn’t work, but can’t.

So we get an election between Adolf Hitler and Sheriff James Davis?

It’s good to have a rational for your choices. And we know it can’t be because you think Microsoft makes good software that you enjoy using.
