I don’t believe in ghosts or the supernatural, but I’ve visited sites where America massacred Native Americans and enslaved Africans. What I felt and experienced there can only be described as haunting. Brains do weird things in stressful situations. I get why some people give too much legitimacy to their hallucinations. They can be chilling, compelling, convincing, formative, and even beneficial.
I admit there’s a part of me that wants a custom turntable, but you know what? I spent enough on what I’ve got. The whole system was just a few hundred bucks, and it sounds, plays, and looks perfectly fine for me. My ears ain’t calibrated. I’ll never spend that much on an audio system. I’ll just keep sinking stupid money into records.
I should stop.
People don’t want to pay multiple thousands more for a color, when the manufacturer would rather enshittify their selection to save a buck.

The McAllister’s are rich as hell. All their friends are too. The whole neighborhood went on vacation except that one old guy.

7·2 months agoNot even as a kid did I ever understand cutting sandwiches. And crusts were always fine by me.
I ain’t terrible to look at these days, but I was quite attractive in my youth. But I’ll tell you what, being raised by right wing religious nutjobs can fuck up even that advantage. I’m better now, but I used to be incel adjacent.

6·3 months agoProbably 2 of the biggest reasons the Greeks failed to become a technological civilization are that their various feuding city-states never united in cooperation, but primarily that they were super into slavery for all their labor. They didn’t want to make slaves work less, then they would have time and energy to rebel and slaughter their masters. No, scientific advancement was simply for curiosity’s sake, not practical applications.
I don’t remember how long ago I first saw this one, but I am deeply grateful it’s still making the rounds every time I see it.
Being a good one is.
We have exactly that now.
Base 60 can do 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, and 12.
It probably means different things for different people, because like every other fandom, it’s kinda arbitrary.
I was kind of purist. I started with TOS, but TNG, DS9, and VOY were right then too. Didn’t care as much for Voyager, but it was ok. Skipped Enterprise completely. I have TAS but haven’t watched it. Actively disliked the Kelvin movies. I’ve missed all the new stuff because I don’t stream, except Lower Decks, which I find delightful. I’m gonna pick up Picard and SNW soon.
I look like Dad, but I’m a fuckin new guy to metal. To his credit, my best friend got me to appreciate Ozzy, Metallica, and Dio in high school. But it took Dimmu Borgir live in Oslo with the choir and orchestra to finally make harsh vocals click for me. I like thrash, speed, power, melodic, folk, prog, and some select black metal. I try not to support Nazi bands.
Burn the heretic!
All night drum battle between them both.
