Meh. They were right about some things, but Marx’s ideas for a revolution have always been flawed. It will invariably lead to an oppressive police state, which others pointed out at the time (Bakunin, for one) and has been borne out by history.

Marx and Engels are hugely problematic, though.

Fuck you.

Ooh, she started singing lessons at age 4, and her father groomed her for stardom all her life?  And she was shy at one point, and her first foray into the music industry flopped?   What an inspiring story.  Fascinating.  

I can’t say I’m looking forward to the grind of packing + moving, but the release date just got pushed back indefinitely for me & my GF, as we found out we didn’t get the place we really wanted, which is a bummer.

“Made-up alphabet”, Mr Achiever? There’s a large number of Scandinavians in reception who’d like a quiet word…

I’ve been a giant tool fan for 20 years plus. My youngest daughter was born 6 weeks ago. I’m not saying a new album and the ability to stream is a bigger event than her birth, but they’re a lot closer than i would ever admit to my wife.

Nah. Best thing Twitch can do is give content creators an address so they can go kick the little shit’s ass...

“they’re just being edgy for a reaction”

Racism gets a reaction. That’s what these people want. And guess what they’re getting. Exactly what they want. By reacting, by banning, by doing what this idiot did, having a melt down on his stream, he has literally given them exactly what they wanted. These are not…

Very much agree with your post.

Well they sell tickets like water in the desert. Rock in rio festival sold off 90.000 tickets for their night in hours. They fill arenas and stadiums with ease. As far as music goes, they are surely more relevant than any trash from popular teen stuff. Their career can only be shadowed by a few musicians, most just…

The ads went a long way to establish a douchey reputation. Seriously, they were extremely irritating.
