I live life to the fullest by driving my family around in the backseat of my Prius, and not being skinned alive by road rash. You live life to the fullest by praying there isn’t sand on the next exit ramp.

We are not the same.

Federally, ship has already sailed. I’ll still vote for the lesser evil on local matters, as I like school funding

100 isn’t enough to really be worth anything too serious. The smart thing to do is either save it for something bigger or just have fun with it. Best way I spent 100 as a kid was on pizza and shit for me and my friends. A Minecraft server and some pizza is like 30 bucks, provides hours of fun

Buy a copy of Minecraft, best purchase I ever made

They do, but there are still plenty of old people who like Coldplay

Surprised by Khalid on here, kinda thought he was irrelevant at this point

I was on Tidal forever ago. To answer the most important question, no the higher quality audio files aren’t total snake oil. Certain offerings definitely sound better. Amazon Music generally offers higher sound quality though. Tidal also do pay artists better, but Napster is the best about payment if I’m not mistaken (ironic as fuck).

As for the app though… It’s been a few years, but this is where everything that offers sound quality goes to shit. The desktop player was ass and the website was ass. It didn’t know how to handle Last.fm and other things I’d consider basics for Audiophiles. Amazon Music’s UI was even worse, I cancelled it after 2 days.

Spotify has the best value proposition. Hulu+Spotify for 10 bucks is good. I also question how long Tidal will be able to continue existing.

I got better at this by doing debate in high school. In most forms of debate, it’s standard to take pieces of evidence and only read certain words to make it shorter and more concise.

The way I did it was this. I started with highlighting any sentences that provided information I considered essential to the article as a whole. Then I’d slowly just start bolding the stuff that was important from that. Then highlight everything from the bold that isn’t redundant or bad writing. It was an endless loop for a while, but eventually I got to the point where I could just highlight with zero iteration because I got used to finding what is and isn’t important.

That’s a thinker

Some, yes, but many of the things that Europeans go “whoa how could they have possibly done that” (waterworks, roads, pyramids) when the Romans or people adjacent to the Romans were able to do it 1000+ years earlier. Not trying to do the whole “primitive” bit, more just saying that a lot of the shit white people say was “impossible” from brown people of their era was achieved by people they considered white thousands of years earlier. Logically speaking, there is no reason that indigenous people wouldn’t have been able to figure out many of the things white people credit to aliens.

White people making innovations in Rome: Geniuses

Brown people make pretty much the same innovations hundreds of years later: Aliens

If we made a big enough boost midsole, would a horse find it as comfortable as a human?

Best non-chromium browser. More customisable.

You underestimate what the FCC will run with

Is this illegal at all or is there a follow up? I don’t care personally, I think it’s pretty funny, but feds typically don’t like this type of thing. Curious what Google responded with

Why are you gonna ask if you’re gonna argue when someone tells you the answer? You said you’re not American or Italian and don’t know about it. Why are you arguing using information you said you know is wrong?

It’s less that the stereotype isn’t true and more that it applies to everybody. American stereotypes are widely based on racist enforcement of laws. Obviously there are italian crime families, but there are white crime families like the Sacklers that do far worse shit, but we don’t stereotype white people as criminal masterminds. Italians are considered white in America now though, so they have less stereotypes attached to them.

If America was less racist, you wouldn’t hear about country of origin in crime. I’ve had people of all races sell me cocaine out of the back of the sketchy restaurant.

Marvelcels in shambles

Wish they’d do these mukbang videos with relationship fights but instead of tomato soup it’s just bloody marys. Open bars make far more entertaining drama.
