Someone literally just showed me the Facundo Cabral version, I’m partial to it due to the added lyrics at the beginning. Fantastic song regardless, it’s incredible that it was written on a dime while drunk. Do share if you have more trovador stuff. I’m ironically super alienated from music in spanish, despite it being my first language.
The Drones - Why Write a Letter That You’ll Never Send is the only thing that has actually strongly emotionally resonated with me (cw: suicide). Also, I guess, the entirety of Doopee Time, but for different less obvious reasons.
oh right right i forgot about that lol
private/self-hosted smtp servers i imagine. it just doesn’t strike me that these email services that offer free inboxes would be any good for privacy concerns (proton mail, tutanota, whatever). but they’re good to sign up for shit i suppose.
it’s always been baffling to me how gamers cried when roger ebert said video games weren’t art but violently react when video games are elevated on an emotional and/or aesthetic level
ah fuck you literally beat me by a second
i buy monster zero ultra (gamer)

these takes are weird, Somerton was being cited as an authority on queer topics outside of the youboob sphere, which makes his takedown a bit more bigger than a beef between online types. dude was not only a plagiarist, he was also a known falsifier. it’s just plain old academic dishonesty, the sort of thing that would make the news if this had happened on an actual campus. we’re now in an era where bonafide pundits are taking fucking video essays at face value, B-list celebs like Neil Gaiman find out Hbomb uploaded a new video hours after it gets posted. Somerton’s channel was going to be his platform towards building a movie studio ffs. we’re in a new world where youtube is mainstream and things that happen there are now felt in meatspace.
I stopped caring for him when he refused to review Hey QT and called it “chipmunk music” only to walk back his opinions completely a few years later when he noticed PC Music had gained a noticeable cult following. He even overcorrected and started giving inflated scores to complete mid shit that sounded faintly of hyperpop. Anyone is entitled to their shit opinions, but Fantano has always striked me as dishonest on top of it.
Fantano gave my AOTY a 1/10 and it made me feel like a contrarian again, man it feels so good.
*1960s voice* i hate my wife
no but they have similar energy in that rizz is already an outdated term which everyone just used ironically and/or derisively for most of its lifespan
lmaoooo
he’s jewish
i bought the thing because the cans look kinda cool tbh, not even the tea shit, the sparkling water which is virtually indistinguishable from any other sparkling water brand except 3x more expensive. it’s rare that i come across liquid death on the shelves anyway so it’s not like something i’m going to keep buying. it’s just a novelty item mostly.
maybe not in the states, that official banking app supports android versions all the way back to Android 6.0, the last android version supported by the OP5T is 10, so on that regard it was fine at least. you’d be surprised at how far back you can go compatibility-wise without breaking stuff with android’s first party compat libraries.
god if he was using a 3rd party app I would have fucking showed up at his doorstep at 12am and force him to update all his credentials.
I bought a monoprice subwoofer for like 100 bucks, and I’m pairing it up with a Fosi Audio V3, which also goes for like 150-200 bucks to replace an old subwoofer/amp that got busted and it sounds incredibly good for an audio setup that totalled like 300 at most. you could probably get these for even cheaper maybe.
I’ve been spending an inordinate amount of time thinking about the cornucopia in the fruit of the loom logo and I’m convinced that the cornucopia version of the logo was actually a knockoff version of the logo, the only thing that stops me from fully accepting this theory as fact is that there’s so little direct proof of it. First, people claim that they bought FotL underwear from walmart exclusively, that’s easy, there’s a couple of lawsuits settled during the late 90s involving nike v walmart and hilfigher v walmart regarding walmart stocking knockoff merch on their shelves, so they have indeed sold fake clothing on retail stores, but there’s no lawsuit between fruit of the loom and walmart. there’s also a trademark patent that explicitly references the cornucopia and I’m pretty sure it was added to the patent BECAUSE of the knockoff logo, and additionally I’m sure they’re so quick to deny the cornucopia partly because it brings them publicity but also because they can’t officially recognize the knockoff logo as part of their corporate identity. Further no physical proof can even be manifested because cotton underwear just doesn’t last very long, cotton wear literally rots in landfills in less than 5 years. And I’m not sure if it’s even related (though the timeline seems at least suspicious) but stockholders for the FotL company were inflating the value of their stock, they were sued and then they filed for chapter 11 during the late 90s but I dunno if these things are connected to the cornucopia. Maybe it’s all a scheme to sell cheapo underwear manufactured in the third world while recognizing no direct ties to third world sweatshops? Too convoluted, I dunno. It’s real though, it appears very frequently on pop culture parodies, so there’s really no chance it was never there.
