Metal Squad Party Force

Chiming in w/what you were saying about affectation: accents tend to come through in straightforward pop music and idiosyncratic and informal singing techniques, as well as affected or specific genre styles. More classical, “flexible”, “athletic” technique tends to obscure it (Queen, Judas Priest)

Listening to '90s and '00s Amorphis albums while making dinner; enthusiastically remembering how excellent they are (as one does).

If other people will immediately replace you at your role if you quit, that means you don’t actually have to do it—so you shouldn’t.

Really you’d think it makes life more meaningful to only be doing the work which exactly nobody else will do if not you.

Tired of this variety of cliche sentiment used by selfish cowards and opportunists both IRL and in fiction:

“if I weren’t doing this [evil or depraved job], somebody else would instead; it won’t make the world a better place if I quit doing this [evil or depraved job].”

Do other countries have "AI Prompt Engineer" courses too, etc.

I feel like I should know this, but: are other universities and education systems around the world being decimated and buried alive in AI products to the same degree as they are here in the USA? Or is this occurring solely as part of the ongoing destruction of American universities?

ah, see, bonsai is the gentleman’s 40k (kinda serious)

had to do this earlier in the summer further up the lines and yeah, it was bad.

similar balance: saw someone joke about making a Downton Abbey movie where aliens also invade

also it’s not like stuff like this only happens in cities: being notoriously hated and then getting stupid drunk and running your mouth at local parties or bars in any community anywhere on the planet gets precisely the same results (a broken nose) or worse!

99% sure he was just drunk and ran his mouth at bars regularly and a few folks beat him up when he was outside. stuff like that would happen to people when i was bartending all the time in logan circle, never mind to people known to be behind a mass federal and racist firing and privacy compromise

this would be ok if it were scarytown

unevolved to handle a single flaming hot cheeto

the hilarious part of this is that the straight “ninja sword” never actually existed, it was made up primarily by westerners in the 80s

I think the big question is how to create platforms and places that people can and naturally want to use to start up a blog or presence with an accessible social stack or reach. Medium is old, and Substack is the only one with that going on right now, unfortunately.

Ex Novo got itself a test print. It is also still available for late pledgers: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sha...

being outside yesterday afternoon and evening truly felt like wading in a hot tub

We used to see him around DC/MD, I think he even used to have a car with question marks all over it

Just watched it recently as well—revelatory to finally see a woman using an automatic assault rifle in a Mann film!

these images actually highlight the punching technique taught initially in many Karate systems, which in the early 20th century were modified (from a vertical fist striking orientation) to make a curriculum of material which was less severe/dangerous to teach openly to the public

Kids today need to learn sound design the classic way (by actually having to rerecord all the location audio yourself at your desk).

Very cool! Did you have any tailoring/sewing or crafting skills already before getting into this?

Many of the production houses I’ve worked with already have gone down this path.

curious how many people currently into warhammer will one day shift their focus to bonsai or penjing

truly the steven segal of guitar

A functioning passport office only exists to create entitlements, something something

Mine held a piece of paper over the TV 😂

Important to get my daily creature updates on here. Try to follow enough different creature accounts and creature topics to offset all the unavoidable doom/crazy.

curious what the thought process is behind mainstream and commercial branding lifting the visual design approach of illegible, unrecognizable extreme death/gore metal band name logos
