I don't know how you got the sense that I was complaining about "so many americans using the internet". Just because I don't like a set of posts made by a small group of people doesn't mean that I have a disdain for the entirety of their countrymen who use the internet. Well, then again, I guess I should be on the North Korean network if I have a distate for certain things on the internet...

I am certainly not trying to offend americans or any other group of people. Pointing out the country of origin of widely used inventions seems like vain patriotism. Do the Chinese tell you to stop using paper currency because you were dissatisfied with it, or complained about it at some time?

I was unaware of that fact, thanks.

• post no. 10^23 that compares USA to a dystopia or a dictatorship

As a non-westerner americans seem really out of touch—at least on the internet. I certainly agree that you need to have political awareness and make decisions that will benefit your country, but this constant stream of tweets and posts that act like living in USA is like living in an active warzone that will get usurped the next day by a dictator is insanely annoying—which is accentuated by the fact that many places on the internet, at least those that I use, are dominated by americans.

The entire album is very good. Stanley Turrnetine has many hidden gems in his oeuvre.

When is this getting added to the criterion collection

Retroarch and tons of roms. Would set me up for quite a while.

I really appreciate the flexibility of lemmy when it comes to the viewing experience, you can browse it through the web, through dedicated apps, through RSS feeds, &c. &c. This is the kind of openness, of choice and software, that I desire for every service on the web.

Reminds me of Crackers in Pink Flamingos. Hilarious film, do check it out.

I don't think the disposition to evil needs a "fertile soil". For instance, there are evil men in convents--and in quite a high degree too--that harm others in order to break the monotonicity of their life; now, would you say a convent is a "fertile soil" for growth of evil--should be the contrary. The artificial spite is a product of, as I've mentioned, a boring and monotonous life, and it so happens the easiest mode available to break this is harm towards others.

In case of natural malignity, the influence on the actions lies not in something mundane as boredom but other natural causes--be it from parental abuse, &c. but I concur that I've no scientific knowledge in this field. And, thus I believe that the ones that hold malignity through nature (in contrast with the artificial one) are able to create an environment that accomplishes, or perhaps, breaks, as I've said above, their disorder's whims. And the chans happen to be a pre-existing place with like minded people that nurture each other's "seeds", but even in the lack of these imaginary soils, the seeds will grow without any problem.

I don't think such sites "produce" mass murderers; they certainly contribute to the accleeration of their extremity--I don't deny that--but no site can "produce" mass murderers, there has to be some preeminent malignity present in the person.

Why is there so much fearmongering around 4chan? Everyone that doesn't use it seems to think of it as an anomaly; when it is nothing but a somewhat "radical" (that too only some boards) social site. Also banning & doing something along those lines to the users of 4chan is the shittiest idea of all time.

Read that as "without decreasing the size of your cock"

Isn't he getting his injured hand read? I believe that's his left.

He certainly was a glamorous man. That bathroom looks cooler than most people's houses. I would love to be there!

It is fascinating how he is still such a prolific performer despite his age. God bless him.

"Much of the material performed this night derives from Miles' studio sessions during the groundbreaking In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew album sessions."

Any album that leans towards a more jazz rock (or, sometimes, even fusion) sound will be criticized by the jazz "purists"; not that they matter at all. Never heard of Motorpsycho but will check this out. Thanks.

I have listened to the following:

• Electric masada - At the mountains of madness

Someone on RYM called it "the modern bitches brew"; therefore, I had to check it out. A great album: very bombastic. (and, yes, it is reminiscient of bitches brew) 9/10

• Bohren & der Club of Gore - Sunset Mission

Only ever listened to when I am reading. Good for background playing but no strong feelings. Not a big fan of this genre of music. 5/10

• Bruno Pernadas - Those Who Throw Objects at the Crocodiles Will Be Asked to Retrieve Them

More elements of pop than jazz, however, it has enough jazzy elements to be considered a jazz-fusion album. Absolutely amazing album, especially great when taking a shower. 9/10

• Floating Points - Promises

TBH, I don't really remember much from this album. But I remember liking it. ?/10
