Can’t speak for anyone else but I basically only use YouTube for video entertainment anymore. I think basically all tv is middling as fuck and will only watch shit that truly catches my eye, otherwise I’ve got a video playing on my monitors. Note I don’t watch scrolling short form content, it’s basically all trash outside of the occasional meme and needs to be outlawed in my opinion.

I usually give my more conservative upper limits on these types of things. Frankly I think all the powder is already in the keg and we’re just waiting for a spark to send it off.

I know damned well that the term slop has been used since the 90s for food and at least the late 00s for other things. The term shovelware slop comes to mind. Note I don’t remember the 90s I was a month old when it ended but I did watch a lot of 90s media so yeah.

As someone who likes Tyr, Hulkoff, Skald, and Danheim I swear to fuck I want to beat someone’s head in with my musket stock. Seriously the quality just drops and I can only block so many channels, half tempted to just to download all their music and make a fucked up mega playlist on my phone.

Anyone know a good way to download YouTube music on Linux, preferably a program and not a website.

How the fuck hasn’t this bitch not been shot and/or lynched yet. Like unironically if some murderer wanted to get a free kill shed be it since nobody would give a damn.

I need to stop listening to missing enigma and lore lodge while I play games it’s causing me to think about murder more than usual.

While that may be true for some I think most of them are just stupid, actually correction all of them are stupid since if the US collapses it’ll most likely nuke a lot of their wealth and a lot of their plans will go down with the ship, note im directly thinking of the stupid ass network city state thing that fuckwits like Thiel dragged out of the drug fueled delirium these morons seem to reside in.

Honestly I don’t even think the US will exist in 10 years, at least not to it’s current extent.

I’m seeing Mojave.

Mojave mo problem.

If it makes it any better Louisiana has always been a shithole even by American standards. My grandmother’s great grandmother left Louisiana way back in the day because it was too much of a dumpster fire even then. For reference my grandmother was born in 1956.

In this particular case it’ll probably be something we already have just cheaper and more specified. Personally my money is on automated AA designed for drones specifically using relatively cheap parts and firing cheap munitions like small caliber rounds to detonate drone payloads. Will probably still cost a hundred bucks or two but that’s well within acceptable costs if they work well enough.

Honestly I don’t think that’s what we’re looking at. This is closer to what happened with machine guns and then later tanks during WW1 and WW2. What we’re looking at is a cavalry charge getting shredded by a machine gun and saying mobile warfare is dead, meanwhile the British and French are doing tank R&D.

This happens every couple of decades and lasts about a decade before proper counters can be developed, mind you it’s still busted as shit until said counters appear but still.

Buy water from the hub, rivet city, and some kid with a purifier.

Oh they did that as well, just not as thorough.

Seems pretty fucken apt to describe a civil society. Generally so called savage societies had ways of dealing with problems before they exploded, unlike say Rome who got into civil wars every other Thursday or they burned Constantinople down because their team lost.

Generally I think it’s because the Japanese have had continuous cultural interacting with the West for centuries at this point. Everything from Dutch and Portuguese trade during the sengoku jidai, to pirate ronin in the Philippines during isolation, to Japanese communities from Baja Sur to the cascades, and then finally stable connections being made post commodore Perry. In contrast the Chinese have had less than stable connections due to massive cultural changes every couple hundred years including periods of isolation, the collapse of the Ming fucking up trade routes for a time, the Qing being notably more isolationist, the warlord and Republican period being a shitshow, followed by the isolation of the communist period shattering a lot of western interst, it makes for less than stable connections.

Also there’s the whole great firewall of China thing going on which further seperates things in the modern age of the internet, it’s not total separation but it’s enough to be notable. In contrast I have been cussed out by a Japanese person, a Ruskie, an Aussie, and a fucken Peruvian simultaneously while playing games.

Especially since morphine can have wildly different effects on people, some folks just end up a bit mentally cloudy with minimum imparment while others go full on loopy and think the doctors want their bodily fluids to summon the flying spaghetti monster. Regardless morphine fucks you up.

I worship Odin, kinda part of the game. Difference is unless the one eyed god feels like being a dickhead it’s usually other people he wants sacrificed or the willing.

Is that the one that happened up in Sacramento or something where the security camera caught the bullets hitting the chain link fence or are you referring to a different instance?

Doctors, nurses, et cetera are just flesh mechanics. Are they knowledgeable in their fields? Sure. But I’ve met enough anti-vaxxer nurses to know damned well quite a few of them are dumber than shit. Meanwhile some of the most well read and thoughtful people I’ve known have been truckers and the like folks with relatively low level jobs that allows hours of listening. Seriously I once met a trucker whos go to audio noise was university lectures uploaded on YouTube.

Or a Neo-pagan. There’s nothing quite like the look a Bible thumper makes when you tell them you wish to sacrifice them to your god.
