More people need better headphones, DACs, and more time to bludgeon their ear drums with majestic acoustics of all varieties.

Then go out protest any oppression you see; after appreciating music.

How could we possibly cause more harm in our lives than stifling a generation of inspired artists?

Despite all that, life is net good. If it weren't, none of us would still be here. That's empiricism.

That's exactly what I like to hear 😁 I think we found our common ground there. I think that's precisely the place for a free market, to vote with the wallet.

How does that reconcile with a call to cancel, I'm curious? (not to antagonize but legit discuss our differences)

We have different views on the meaning of the word "freedom", that's all. Mine aligns with the first amendment of the constitution which even goes so far as to protect hate speech.

Your version of it isn't recognized in any civilized court system. Saudi Arabia would agree with you, though.

"French government is like an engine, its efficiency is measured in revolutions"

To quote a random YouTube comment: "French government is like an engine, its efficiency is measured in revolutions."

Gotta admit, though, if you were conservative that would still be par for the course (speaking as a lifelong FX analyst) lol. Stability would be a radical change for France.

If ICE agents thought it was hard to find work before, just wait til they put this on their resumes.

"Assaulting citizens to protect citizens from migrant assaults" doesn't spin very nicely on an 8.5x11 no matter how fancy your header is.

Kristi's so brave up there. I'm glad she's paid during the shutdown even when air traffic controllers aren't.

I'm starting to see monads everywhere, and I swear I haven't touched Haskell in ages so stop blaming it for my sudden visions of endofunctors.

If ever there was doubt that a news feed algorithm was causing harm to society, just remember the president of the United States deployed a black hawk helicopter and a hundred agents to raid an apartment in Chicago.

This from a guy who believed Mara Lago was raided when FBI recovered his documents.

Just a little history reminder: the point of the second amendment was for citizens to be able to fight on the militarized federal agents should the government ever do what they're doing right now...

If you wanted to start a civil war, you would act like the Trump administration.

The funniest thing about Chuck Schumer's jokes is that his daughter is a successful comedian and yet he never learned to deliver a prepared pun.

How many people truly know what bare minimum they'd need to feel their life was well lived?

The way people study, work, vote, love, spend their leisure hours, neglect themselves, avoid education or exercise, etc... it seems to me most people don't ever consider what makes their lives worth living.

Some people who have never seen a million dollars in their lives like to pretend they would turn down 100 million dollars on principle, even though their principles aren't firm enough to learn philosophy or get off social media to organize protests to articulate their 100 million dollar beliefs...

For the life of me I can't imagine anything being less functional without the leadership of Chuck Schumer right now...

Why is he still paid six figures a year?

What does he even do these days, besides getting the public "aroused" over scandals?

At least 53 Palestinians killed in fresh wave of Israeli attacks on Gaza Military offensive stepped up as Hamas leaders consider Trump’s 20-point peace plan

The racists in the UK are not the ones attending pro-Palestine marches this weekend.

The racists in the UK are the ones saying that you shouldn’t protest 53 Palestinians being murdered because two Jewish people were also murdered on the same day.

Some of us can condemn both.

It's almost like some people believe they can't be hypocrites just because they don't like the sound of the word...

Funny, that logic. Not bothered by their actions evoking such a description, only the way it sounds when directed toward them with evidence.
