    Meh. There is always an attribute of selling out when it comes to popular music and that includes rebel country music from the sixties and seventies.

    I’m not holding it against them. I’m just saying that even if one of the four horsemen are your country music idols, that doesn’t mean that it’s okay to delude yourself into thinking that they were not mainstream products meant for mass consumption.

    If it were more profitable to take the same stance then as it is today, then that is the stance they would have taken or else you would have never heard of them.





  • I’ve occasionally stumbled across those videos on YouTube where people will read a manga or watch an anime and then tell you what happened in the manga or anime.

    These videos are like an hour long sum up of a 4-hour season for you.

    BUT, they never tell you the name of the anime or manga for you to go and watch and read it for yourself.

    I mean, if it makes you happy, do it. But for me, it’s a hard pass


  • I say a lot of people get posters madness.

    They get so addicted to the dopamine feedback of upvotes and follower counts and occasionally actual money that they abandon themselves in hopes of becoming exactly the person that will get them the most dopamine feedback.

    Everyone that participates in social media suffers from it to a small degree but there is a threshold upon which it can turn you into a p-noid zombie, which is typically right around the fame threshold.

    The only way back is for your entire profile and sometimes career to come crashing down around you.

    I don’t know. I think Mac gets a lot of hate simply because it’s a Unix that was sold to the devil and comes with a satanic concierge service.

    Like, I’m not saying that selling your soul to the devil is possible but if I had to pick a handful of people that on the whole I would say probably did I would pick Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Elon musk, Jeffrey bezos, Larry Page, Vladimir Putin, and probably every Hollywood social elite and musician that sells a platinum record, every Republican senator, congress person, and every president after Jimmy Carter, and every CEO whose company is worth more than 10 million dollars who didn’t inherit the company from their parents.







  • Books-A-Million and Barnes & nobles have one advantage, people that really like books like picking up the books and looking at them. It also helps that you can usually get coffee and read your acquisitions and there are board games and all sorts of things that they sell to kind of balance out the mix.


  • If they had come up with a good interface.

    There are a couple of stores that I have seen that used to be brick and mortar or catalog based and made the transition to online but their website is terrible.

    McMaster-Carr comes to mind. I’m never really sure if I have found the part I’m looking for whenever I shop on their website.

    Maybe it’s a skill issue, sure, but online shopping should not require an onboarding process.



  • Automatically killing all pedophiles tells pedophiles to murder their victims as the punishment for murder can be less than the penalty for pedophilia.

    Would you rather a child be sexually assaulted and survive or for a child to be sexually assaulted and then murdered?

    That’s the decision you’re making when you vote for summary execution of pedophiles.
