It's really sad that music has been dead for decades because of all that home taping we did. I really miss music. We should have listened to the recording industry. We'd still have music today if we did.
I genuinely recommend Crime Pays, But Botany Doesn't.
There's just something incredibly soothing about his overt working class accent and lexicon, fundamentally challenging the nature of academic and scientific community tropes.
Re-watching Star Trek: Enterprise given the references to it in Strange New Worlds and it is honestly better than I remember.
One thing I really like is how arrogant and duplicitous the Vulcans are portrayed. Between TOS and VOY, Vulcans are largely portrayed positively, their claimed enlightenment taken at their word.
Not so in Enterprise. It also explains some of the attitude that Spock faces in TOS, particularly from McCoy.
Yeah it’s the logic of “soft” xenophobia (we don’t hate foreigners, we just treat them different!)
Tax-evading PR holders are a small percentage of a small population (so not a big problem). But, for unreasonable reasons, perfection is demanded of outsiders that is not required of insiders, and the entire problem is blown out of proportion.
There are already laws against evading taxes that could be enforced without applying a special, nuclear-level punishment to PR holders.
Stolen from the British, via the Imperial Navy from its training exercises with the Royal Navy in the time around the Russo-Japanese war, who themselves stole it from India.
I honestly can't believe this album was 2022 and not... 2002. You know what you're getting here, it's Avril Lavigne. But, like, if that's what you want... There you go.
Better than I don't remember. Equipment and quality matters, it's like a first listen.
Sk8ter Boi is the worst song. Nobody's Fool rap parts are a dishonorable mention.
Best songs: I'm With You, Tomorrow, Anything But Ordinary
Greater range of styles than Love Sux, and Love Sux comes off as "What did I expect? Not this shit again" and Let Go comes off as "What do I expect? Do I know?" That alone tells you the age/life stage of each... More about this...
Today I learned FamilyMart has a limit of 30 coins to pay for anything. This is incredibly annoying as I only ever pay in cash for bills that require it, and over years I have attained a bag of coins I need to dispense with.
Legal tender is legal tender, and either it should be accepted or the government should eliminate it.
