It’s getting much better. It’s not perfect yet. It’s not even as good as cities 1. But it’s much better than launch.

The kinda shit I do in cities skylines when I get bored

I have a hard time freely forming realistic images in my head. Like if I TRY to picture an apple, I just get the vibes of an apple but no image.

But I did yoga some years ago. We did 15 min of breathing exercises, 45 min of actual physical practice (vinyasa), then 30 min of guided meditation. The whole point of the class was the meditation really, everything before that was preparing to meditate.

Anyways, first time I went, I did the breathing, did the “flows”, then we laid down to meditate. The instructor guided us through this meditation, about being in an open field, and riding a horse, and feeling the wind on your face the horse underneath you, and dude… I could picture it all like it was real life. I could see in full 4k 3D. So much I started to feel like I was there, I could actually feel the wind the horse. See the bright sun. I actually cried a little.

So yeah I think with the right guidance you could probably see in your mind like it was real life.

After all this shit is over, the America I want to remember (as a non-American), is the America of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, of Albert Einstein, WEB Du Bois, of John Brown, of Tupac, of the creation and heights of new arts and sciences. For being the first truly fully modern nation on earth. Where the ideals of the new age first became law. For fighting for freedom and the wellbeing of every individual.

But when Trump was first elected, I remember feeling “damn he is the most American guy ever huh”. And he is. He’s a grifter and a scammer, a heir failson who fell upwards in life due to his evilness. And that’s America as well. It’s also Rockefeller, Carnagie, Mellon, Morgan all the robber barons, Joseph Smith, Roy Cohn, Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lanski, the Dulles brothers. Of eugenics and “enhanced interrogations”. Of forced sterilizations and experiments on unwilling subjects.

America was founded on genocide, conquest and slavery. And it rewarded the people that most embodied the ideals necessary for that up until this day.

The world can only be free when the empire falls, and America is returned to the natives and reparations are made to all descendants of enslaved people. When we all face the reality that no nation can exist founded on the principles of white supremacy and simply “reform”.

But after that, I’ll remember America for all the good that it was. Not for being the most evil nation on earth. I hope.

The cloth of the Kaaba is changed from time to time. They then cut it into pieces and send around to friends of the Saudi royal family.

Hard to choose to be honest… but Avatar for sure. And maybe Powerpuff Girls? Kenan & Kel? Mythbusters (if it counts?)?

There was* a prison riot in an ICE detention center where CHILDREN had to revolt for better conditions. Like what 2 weeks ago?? These are concentration camps, full stop.

Speaking about these things so* publicly and with so little regard to safety is only possible because they are part of the system’s inner core.

If they were leftists they would be raided and “suicided” much earlier. They would have to resort to cryptic secretive messages passed by idk rats, even to discuss dinner plans.

But they are fascists.

Also reminder that the vast majority of Nazis were not executed at Nuremberg. They were freed, and went on to join the nascent NATO and West German government.

The first NATO general was a Nazi general. The first president of the German intelligence agency was a Nazi spy master.

For sure but I feel even the ones that want to quit won’t, because of this. That’s all I meant 🤷‍♂️

They all got massive sign-on bonuses. If they quite before 5 years they have to pay 10k per year they left early.

They are experts in death, not life!

But on a serious note, isn’t forensics a specific college degree? I would assume people study anatomy a lot in college, for forensics. Idk 🤷‍♂️

On the note of Fiio, linsoul is pretty good. I’d say China has all the good IEM and music players nowadays.

The “ultimate parasite” status you mean

Except it’s the other way around. “We’re all gonna have to suffer” but they are at least twice as rich now than before this bs started.

While some will be AI, they did filter by songs with at least some play. The millions of AI songs that get uploaded likely get very little play.

But then there’s some AI artists that are getting millions of plays a month….

That’s not true. But their signifiers of wealth are invisible to the common folk. They wear sweaters that cost as much as a used car. Jackets that cost as much as new cars. Their watches cost more than a house.

I think a good look on how they live really is succession. The clothes they wear don’t look crazy expensive, to us. But they are more expensive than you could even imagine.

My only real take here is basically every single libertarian eventually becomes a technofascist. Why is that? Idk. But it happens over and over again.

Nah you gotta feed and house the slaves. With workers you just pay enough they don’t die and many will even live in cars and eat trash.

The problem is the system that was set up hundreds of years ago (“liberal democracy”) ended up just incentivizing psychopathy. This system always brings the worst people in society up to the top. Either in government or business.

You can’t be a genuinely good person and become a general, a congressperson or a billionaire.
