Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

I'd take that bet tbh. Increase your money 10 times and all it relies on is the FBI dogfucking for 3 months?

So... Freedomtoons was right?

Even in college, a lot of the stuff I'd listen to is stuff made by people I knew. It was back when dinosaurs roamed the earth so it wasn't like you could fit a lot on a 32MB MP3 player.

Actually, saying that got me to try to dig down the rabbit hole to find the songs again, and I was able to track down an archive.org version of the website, but all the songs are gone and I found out the band basically gave up around 2005 and probably never put out any more songs. It's crazy because it really makes you realize how transient a lot of the old Internet was. The webpage is gone, the server hosting his email is gone, the other websites he links to are gone. Even my own files, I've got stuff from older computers, but one dead hard drive and you lost everything back then (especially if you were too dumb to at least try to make CD backups), so there's a lot that's just dust in the wind, never coming back.

This is a real rabbit hole now... I can't believe the fan fiction site I used to read back in 2000 is still up.... (don't look into the light, it's bad for you, it'll swallow your soul and make you a furry)

I've got a boom box with shortwave band, and it shocked me how many shortwave radios are still on the air. They already felt like a relic when I was a little kid!

Yeah, big reason for everyone to try to put something out there. Write a book, sing a song, do some art, whatever. There's a huge gap and it's slowly getting filled by people who do something and it turns out people really like it. (of course, accept that your thing probably won't be that, but hey nothing ventured nothing gained)

The only thing that would make it perfect is if they had a little "tm" symbol next to "once you pop.... that's great", like "oh yeah, this is fire, we gotta make sure nobody steals this original content from us"

Samson's political stuff was great, but he was like "fuck this I want to do actual rap again" and he's still damn good.

I'm not actually huge into Tom McDonald, I just don't feel his stuff for the most part.

lol don't think too hard about it, I certainly didn't.

Oh yeah.

lol "I'm Eminem! I like Men! My pronouns are they and them!"

Turns out Eminem was the mask, he was Ken Kaniff all along!

what? leftist memes are great what do you mean?

It occurs to me that one reason why celebrities were so weak at convincing people to vote for their preferred candidate this time is that they can't even convince people to go see their crappy movies or listen to their crappy albums.

Back in 2016 there was still a chance one of them might put out a movie people like, or an album people like, but it's been 8 years, and lots of people don't even have netflix anymore because virtually nothing worth watching has come out for almost 10 years! "Oh, it's all those people who can't make a movie or an album, and they're telling us to do something. Huh."

I don't even blame him. We have to build a wall, and we need to get the Americans to pay for it.

It'll be a big beautiful wall to keep all the american dangerhairs out every time they try to sneak across when they lose an election!

Name me a country that doesn't!

If I were a white supremacist setting crosses on fire on a black mayoral candidate's lawn (and I'm not), I'd be embarrassed calling that chinsy thing a cross. You steal a couple paint stir sticks from the home depot and tape them together with scotch tape? You trying to sow terror in the hearts of men or make them laugh at how sad and pathetic the cross you set on fire is? "Awwww, look at the little thing! It's so cute! I feel bad even putting it out with what's left in my coffee cup!"

Socialists don't realize that it isn't the cameras or the microphones or the desk or the big sign, it's the people who are the means of production so as long as someone is free and talented, they'll be fine. You can take what they've built in terms of tangible assets, but you can't take a craftsman's mind and two hands. (I'm not really an Alex Jones fan, never watched his show, but I know the story of him getting a court judgement for the GDP of a small nation against him)

I'm no big city lawyer, but if you ring someone's doorbell and get pepper sprayed, the only security you need is to just not ring that person's doorbell.

I mean, if you ring the doorbell and your security gets peppersprayed, that could be a serious problem for you because you knew what was going to happen and you did it anyway...

Someone needs to be like "Hey kid, gives a flying fuck what you think about literally anything you have to say. Shut up, look pretty, and say the lines in your script."

"what is my purpose?"

"To tell the time"

"For what purpose have you connected me to the world's largest repository of information in the history of humankind?"

"Just so that you were aware that there is more to life than telling the time, and you will never be allowed to do any of it."
