  • So my view of him from my vantage point is that he’s unoriginal, and needs other peoples work to survive.

    I’m a huge rap fan and this is 100% correct.

    Although, not for the reasons you listed. Having a huge hit that leans heavily on an obvious sample of an older hit song isn’t necessarily awful. But the guy writes corny shit, is a terrible rapper and is just not very talented. He built an empire off of surrounding himself with amazingly talented people and exploiting them in the worst possible ways.


  • The image above shows that it was rated R, so not a family movie. IDK, that kinda makes it worse in a way? If it were PG then there wouldn’t be any nudity. And a PG movie could be intended for actual teenagers. A rated R movie is primarily for an 18+ audience, so these girls were definitely being marketed to the adult male gaze.

    ETA: I saw this decades ago when I was way too young and don’t recall if there was actually nudity.


  • Should/could the US population do more to get their batshit crazy government in line? Abso-fucking-loutly!

    Should the sane countries of the world do more to push back on us and check our power grabs? Also Abso-fucking-loutly!

    Why is any consumer anywhere outside of the US purchasing any of our shit? I recently saw a graph on the global sales of US liquor and most countries had like a 10-20% drop in sales and only Canada went hard with a 60-80% drop (apologies, I’m pulling this from memory so it’s pretty vague).


  • I’d rather be alive than be your hero. Black and brown people in the US already face violence without voluntarily painting targets on their backs. If people want to stick their necks out, good for them. But it’s kinda ballsy to try to shame black and brown people in the current USA for avoiding violence from some “place of privilege “




  • Yeah, I haven’t done it in like 8 months so I think I was conflating Code Push with App Store updates. I do think that apps get treated differently based on the priority of the company and there is some judgement used in the scope of changes. Like I wouldn’t be surprised if Grok is never subject to the random review delays just cuz no one wants to deal with Elon throwing a tantrum
