Lol I literally came here to say that.

En nyt edes tiedä onko tämä nyt niin poikkeavaa. Kyllä tällaisella meiningillä saa niissä tietyissä piireissä pisteitä ja sen rinkirunkkausporukan nousemaan barrikaadeille taas jälleen kerran puolustamaan Mestaria tai mitä ikinä. “Ai ai voi voi kun minua nyt sorretaan auttakaa veljet” ja se toimii. Tiettyyn porukkaan ainakin. Valitettavasti. Halla-aho kyllä tuntee yleisönsä.

I mean I don’t know how big it was worldwide, but where I’m from there was like a whole trend some years back where teens would have these, landline telephone speaker/mics you plugged in to the headphone jack to make calls and they’d have it hang around their neck when not using it it was the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever seen.

Fuck I wish I could, but it’s US only. I was ready to take on debt when they announced that they’re quitting a decade ago, but a trip to the US is just way too fucking much. I’d probably end up staying homeless there. So jealous. Enjoy! I can’t even imagine what their shows are like, it just doesn’t transfer through video.

smart people can 100% be stupid too

To expand on that, people can be smart in one aspect and really fucking dumb in others. Intelligence is a spectrum, it’s not binary like you’re either smart or dumb. Plenty of people who understand quantum level physics etc. who are socially and emotionally at the level of children and vice versa and so on.

Wooden spoons tend to be bulkier so maybe that’s why it’s always said to use a wooden one.

Ooh thanks for sharing this documentary. Lemmings is one of my favorite games of all time.

Here’s the link if you don’t want to go and give The Guardian more traffic.

But, released years before mobile phone games were a thing, it was nonetheless a fiendishly addictive game that feels like the spiritual precursor to the likes of Angry Birds. (from the article)

Precursor to modern mobile games the likes of Angry Birds? Really?

Then why are you continuing to argue that it IS bipolar?

Learn to read. I’m done. You made your point and I respectfully disagree, you suit yourself and keep pretending treating someone based on their skin color, sexuality or race isn’t discrimination isn’t discrimination. Either you don’t know what the word means or you’re so privileged you’re blind to the fact.

I’m not pretending anything and you’re putting words in my mouth I never said or intentionally misenterpreting my words and I’m done with this bad faith argument of yours.

I’m not Mike Johnson and acknowledging discrimination doesn’t make me privileged. You can discriminate all you want it doesn’t make it any less discrimination. Nor does it make discrimination against someone even if they might be privileged any less discrimination.

If you really think someone who just happens to have been born those things and gets the worst treatment than someone who, say is, POC and/or LGBTQ, who is better off than someone who is homeless for example you’re delusional and extremely discriminative. It largely concerns all of those things, but it’s not as bipolar as american identity politics makes it up to be, it’s more about class politics and politics essentially and way more subjective and individual than you’re making it out to be - which is exactly my point, not a single one of any gender, sexuality, class, anything is a fucking monolith you should discriminate against as one. But you’re free to downvote instead of discussing.

But that’s at least partially my point. That’s discrimination, not all white people, not all straight people, not all men, are privileged and if you think that you’re reinforcing the same discrimation you’re supposedly against. Sure, there might be, proportionally, because of historical reasons/historical discrimination, more “straight white men” who are more privileged than most, but that’s more about politics and thinking that way you are already discriminating against people just for being born the skin color they’re born with, the sexuality and gender they’re born with which we all know we have no control over. And that’s fucked up.

If you really think there are no white or straight people or men that don’t have the same privileges as some piece of shit like this guy or even a bunch of minority people I really cannot trust you’re arguing in good faith. Class etc, privilege isn’t all about the color of your skin or sexuality. Things are more subjective and inidividual than that.

I agree it makes this turd of a human being more of a hypocrite and I don’t disagree with the comment I replied to entirely. I just don’t see why there is a need to discriminate against an entire group of people just for the way they’re born. I thought fighting against that very notion was the exact point.

e: Maybe I’m misunderstanding your point and possibly not explaining my point well (I am veeery tired), but anyway. Just because Mike Johnson is an asshole doesn’t mean people should paint an entire gender or race or anything as assholes is my point. I get that the OC is somewhat sarcastic, but still.

I don’t see a need to bring race into this.

I think they mean rapier. That is 100% a dude that stalks women in dark alleys.

Chronic insomnia FTW. I for one absolutely love having things I’ve known and experienced first-hand for decades confirmed. I love this dystopia I live in!

Radio is a Foreign Country, they have their own website, but it has never really worked for me. Music from all around the world.

Also recommend Radio Garden, which lets you listen to radios from all over the world. Sometimes it has featured “posts” with channel recommendations from people, like Brian Eno and such. It’s one of the best things on the internet. They have an app as well.

soma.fm is the shit. Most of the channels are great, but there is no better place for ambient music than Drone Zone.

Lol, almost mentioned Tenhi in my OP, but I figured since they’re Finnish no-one is gonna know them either way. One of my favorite bands.

E: Also have to point out, they have “official” translations for their lyrics on their website all the way up to the previous to last album, done by the band themselves afaik. They’re not entirely a 100% accurate and they’ve taken some fairly big creative liberties in translating them, but close enough and since they’re official I give them a pass. Cool to see they get appreciated abroad, they’re not very well known over here back home.

Love John Dowland as well.

E2: Just in case anyone is interested:
