poisonarena··on US believes its power matters more than international law, UN chief
There is no such thing as "international law", and never has been. Land belongs to people who can control it, and always has.
poisonarena··on Richard D. James aka Aphex Twin speaks to Tatsuya Takahashi (2017)
Thats actually not what I meant. I meant the experience of owning music on cd's/records/tapes. This cant really be experienced anymore since every song ever released can be immediately streamed. Sure you can buy vinyl or cd's at shows but it isnt the same because back then it was radio or buy/own the stuff

And my other point was how lots of electronic musicians seemed so distant and mysterious because they weren't livestreaming and and social media that made them/their personality/tweets etc available.

as for AFX, I think like one in 15 of his songs are amazing, the rest is just noise/filler

poisonarena··on Richard D. James aka Aphex Twin speaks to Tatsuya Takahashi (2017)
Agreed, been this way for 30 years, and significant amount of effort by him and warp have been adding to cult of his mystique(actually many electronic music artists in the 90s/early 2000s). He is one of the last popular electronic musicians younger generations of "#DAWLESS" guys like now because he kept up that mystique which is basically impossible to have now in the current social media era.

I remember buying some of his tapes and cd's from Amoeba music in 1999 and the feeling they gave me. I often wonder what its like to been born in 2010 and never experiencing this.

>The music industry already went through this with AutoTune and we know how that turned out.

they use it, everyone uses it, it got better to the point where most people dont know its used, ever heard of melodyne? well AI made it even better.

And then there has been about 20 years of people using it even as their style of music, notably in hip hop, reggaeton, urbano, country, etc.

Boomers like to think it was just an annoying fad in 2008-2011 or something, but it never went away, now everyone uses it, whether obvious or not

poisonarena··on Duolingo will replace contract workers with AI
I am fluent in spanish, and duolingo was really helpful at the beginner stage. When I was beginning to learn. I think between living in mexico (total immersion), consuming spanish media only, and about an hour of duolingo every night it was a tremendous boon. Mostly for learning to spell/remember gender nouns, and learning vocabulary.. I have tried other apps but the gamification also helps.

I have now been speaking spanish for 9 years and have no use for duolingo when it comes to spanish, but I always recommend it as a resource to level up when you are a beginner.

poisonarena··on Hezbollah pager explosions kill several people in Lebanon
>as a country and a people they only exist as long as we're their benefactor

Why do so many people think this? If the US stopped "giving" them "military aid" which is actually just disney dollars to spend in the US military industrial complex they would be out a small percentage of their defense budget.

you cant find it even if you look for it, its taboo in jewish culture.. Palestinians have no problem parading dead children, and hamas uses it as a weapon
poisonarena··on Cannabis that people are using for anxiety is probably making it worse
same exact happened to me, i would love to smoke a joint and close my eyes, listen to music and just go on a journey, and then one day i ate a too powerful edible cookie, and it ruined it all and just gave me anxiety. I think it was the overdose in that cookie that changed something in my brain to make me dislike the feeling
