I'm sorry, how is the part about his daughters relevant?

How do you use Wikipedia to read the news? Do you mean you visit the Frontpage of wiki?

I've been thinking about this question a lot recently and have asked my friends for their opinions.

It's not that I'm looking for a business that doesn't need the internet, but I'm interested in if I can have a successful business without actively promoting the business on social media. I hate that in the modern age, it seems impossible or very difficult to promote your business without Meta platforms or running digital ads on social media (both Meta and non-Meta owned platforms).

So my question isn't really what business I could start without the internet, but rather if it's possible to run a successful business without running ads and creating promotional content on social media.

It makes me want to tear my skin that I need to do all this stuff on platforms that I hate. But, as one of my friends said, you can delegate the social media promotion of your business to other people, and if you don't use social media to promote your business you'll be left behind by your competitors who do.

Not an answer to your question, I know. Just sharing my frustration in what it seems you need to do to succeed... if I ever start a business.

We used to play Coat of Many Colors a lot in my house when I was a kid.

My coat of many colors

That my mama made for me

Made only from rags

But I wore it so proudly

Although we had no money

Well, I was rich as I could be

In my coat of many colors

My mama made for me

I normally browse through the Frontpage, new, and ask HN, but recently I've started using the new tab predominantly since lots of interesting content never get filtered to the front page.

You'll get the hang of it. It's a great site with intelligent discussions.

It reminds me of this article shared some days ago -

Enshittification Relies on Broken Economic Math

I don't understand why they can't ask for whatever they want for a domain they own? Meaning they don't actually own it. Sucks.

1 million is nothing to these companies.

Can someone explain why this is so? I tried with Chatgpt and Deepseek and got the same answer!

The Eminem Show (TES) was heavily bootlegged before it was officially released, and it would very likely have broken the Marshall Mathers LP (MMLP) sales record had the leaks not happened.

I also believe that TES is a better album than MMLP, while MMLP had more hardcore raps, TES was his most mature album, and had the best production of his career rivaled only by Relapse in my opinion.

It's crazy to me that square dance received less than a perfect rating. The production on that song is one of the best on the album and the way he rode the beat and leaves you nodding along with smoke coming out of your speakers. I mean, the way he rode the beat here -

__

Let your hair down to the track, yeah, kick on back

(Boo) the boogie monster of rap, yeah, the man's back

With a plan to ambush this Bush administration

Mush the Senate's face in, push this generation of kids

To stand and fight for the right to say something

You might not like, this white hot light

__

I had to stop myself from quoting the whole verse.

And then the way the beat drops when he says

__

Oh yeah, don't think I won't go there, go to Beirut and do a show there

__

And then he picks right back up and continues with the same flow!

Okay, giving Square Dance a 3.5 is something I could live with, but then to give Say Goodbye to Hollywood a 3.5! No way! When you call TES his most mature album, it's because of a song like this.

__

Cause everything that bothers me I got it bottled up

I think I'm bottoming out but I'm not about to give up

I gotta get up, thank god I got a little girl

__

Check out this break down of the song here [1]

I like Drips and I was hoping that the author would love it too. But after seeing them not like Say Goodbye to Hollywood and Square Dance, then what chance did Drips have? I like the song because it's Slim Shady being Slim Shady. It's no more out of place than Without Me was on the album.

And to see that the author gave Sing For the Moment a 3.5/5 when it was arguably the best song on the album. When people call TES Eminem's most mature and introspective work yet, they are referring to songs like this. If Sing For the Moment and Say Goodbye to Hollywood are not deserving of perfect ratings, then it means the album failed to achieve its goal. But it didn't fail!

That's why we sing for these kids who don't have a thing

Except for a dream and a fuckin' rap magazine (haha)

Who post pin-up pictures on they walls all day long

Idolize they favorite rappers and know all they songs

Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in they lives

So they sit and they cry at night, wishin' they'd die

Till they throw on a rap record and they sit and they vibe

I know we all have our opinions, but it's hard to agree with this review when Superman gets a perfect rating and the above songs didn't despite their lyrical depth.

And Hailie's song gets a 4?

__

I act like shit don't phase me, inside it drives me crazy. My insecurities could eat me aliveeeee

__

I actually dig it when he sings and then when he starts rapping, it elevates the song.

I agree with the rating of When the music stops. Not a fan of D12, they are shock-value artists without the lyrical skill to match.

My Dad's Gone crazy is a 4/5!

No way, I'm done here.

Oh, come on. Users have always filtered out the low quality stuff.

Alright, thanks for responding.

What if you were in dire straits and needed the money?

Or they want to get bought out with enough money that they don't have to work for someone else.
