Both of them are equally appalling. They stand on opposite sides of the same stage, each convinced they are the antidote to the other. One speaks the language of circumstance and systemic forces. The other speaks the language of hard work and personal responsibility. Strip away the branding and you are left with two men selling the same product: the belief that the world owes them a living for having strong opinions. Both think they know everything. Certainty is not something they arrived at through struggle. It is the product. Uncertainty doesn’t pay. Doubt doesn’t fill seats or move subscriptions. So they speak with the calm confidence of men who have never had to live with the consequences of being wrong. Both believe they are owed. One claims the debt is historical and collective. The other claims it is personal and moral, the world should reward him for seeing what others refuse to see. In either case the conclusion is the same: society has failed to properly compensate their insight, and their audience is invited to share the feeling of being shortchanged. Both pontificate from a position of almost total inexperience. They have not built things that could fail. They have not led men when failure had a body count. They have not raised children through seasons when everything was falling apart. Their knowledge is second-hand, assembled from the same sources their listeners consume. They are experts in the map. They have never walked the territory. Both have grown wealthy doing this. Wealthier than most of the people watching them. And both perform the same small ritual: pretending the money doesn’t matter. They are “just trying to get the message out.” The wealth is proof of their insight, they say, not the predictable result of locating a large, monetizable pool of male discontent and selling it back in slightly different packaging. Both are endlessly milking their respective audiences of disaffected young men. One tells them the system is rigged against them because of who they are. The other tells them the system is rigged against them because they haven’t become hard enough yet. The product is identical: belonging, purpose, and someone else to blame. The sycophants are not a side effect. They are the business model. This is not new. The sophists of Athens charged young men to learn how to win arguments regardless of truth. Later centuries produced court intellectuals who explained why the powerful were wise and the suffering deserved. The current era simply scaled the model with microphones and monetization. What doesn’t change is this: when a society produces large numbers of lost or angry young men, there will always be men willing to monetize that condition rather than heal it. History will not remember either of them as anything more than a footnote. The real work, the work that actually moves human lives forward, is almost never done by people whose primary skill is talking about how the world should be. It is done by people who have skin in the game. The ones who build, defend, raise, repair, and endure. They rarely become famous for their opinions. They are too busy making sure tomorrow arrives.

Asmongold responds after Hasan claimed he doesn’t flaunt his wealth “If you’re going around with shirts that are $1,000, you’re flaunting your wealth.. How is having a $10k fit not flaunting your wealth? It's so insanely dishonest.”

🚨 RUSSELL CROWE LOSES IT ON FANS IN PARIS — “DON’T FU*KING PUSH IN ON ME!” A heated clip of Russell Crowe is going viral after the actor suddenly stopped a crowd of autograph seekers in Paris and bluntly warned them to back off before things escalated. “Stay where you are.” “Don’t fu*king push in on me!” “I’ll come to you.” “As soon as somebody’s a dick, I'm gone.” People online are now debating: • whether celebrities are reaching a breaking point • if autograph culture has become too aggressive • and whether some “fans” are really just resellers chasing money Now the comments are sounding off: • “You can hear years of frustration in his voice.” • “Those aren’t fans. Those are professional vultures.” • “Celebrities are starting to hate the public.” • “Honestly? I don’t even blame him.” Was Russell Crowe justified here… or did he completely lose his cool? 📹: Instagram/hush.officiel

@michaeljknowles I think first of so many more people deserving of imprisoning and deportation that would've made maga worthwhile. He is nothing comparatively.

Imprisoning or deporting Hasan Piker would in itself make the whole decade-long MAGA movement worthwhile.

We cannot allow ourselves to live in a world where cultural preservation is considered somehow detrimental to societies. The world is a beautiful place BECAUSE of its differences. However, We enter into a garden to appreciate that here are the roses, and over there are the tulips, and yet further down the path are the Cherry Blossoms falling upon the pathway. If we chaotically smash them all together, with no concern for our understanding of beauty and their needs, we cannot appreciate them as much. One plant might overtake another, one may need more light and one may need more shade, they have different needs, different aesthetics. They are beautiful on their own, and under the right circumstances. Each have taken thousands of years of evolution to arrive at their individual beauty. That said, there are certain species of plants that work well together but many do not. Human variances in the form of cultures are really no different than the beautiful flowering plants in a complex garden. America is a violent and chaotic place these days for this very reason. Europe is becoming similar. Let that be a lesson for all the cultures of Earth that value themselves, their language, history, and even their own well-being.

@observer_0x0000 It’s true… History is inspiring, yes, but it also requires context and discernment. Let’s hope this part of history can be repeated.

There's something serious ill with this lady.  She loved me and stalked me, now she hates me and stalks me.  She's all over the map the last few months, utterly incoherent.  I don't know what's going on but it is beyond strange and definitely unhealthy.   thehill.com/homenews/media…

弊シンセ、シーケンサーにパラメータロックを実装。シーケンサーのステップごとに、音色パラメータの変更を"ロック"できるElektron的なやつ。 動画はTimbre Aの簡単なパターンに、バラバラのパラメータをロックした例。 オシレータもフィルターもエンヴェロープも、ロックできるパラメータに制限はなく、搭載するすべての音色パラメータをロックできるよ。
