  Seems just like a regional accent thing

  Also, what about bamboo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are so cooked⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Different pesticides?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are so cooked⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why we’re doomed.

  Yeah, the Greenland shit will seem like a distraction all the way up until the day he announces the invasion.

  Don’t sleep on that shit, this man does not make jokes.

  Got eeeeem

  Don’t talk to anyone about your politics.

  This is gonna be a tough one for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re new to the privacy thing, it might be too late. However, that’s not a reason to not try.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do animals think we're cute?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol my childhood dog was like that… However, I have no doubt that if there was any real danger, she would have known immediately and been right there.

  She was a good girl 🥲

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do animals think we're cute?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe this as I’ve seen dogs visibly freak the fuck out when they think a human they love (or in the case of some dogs, a human that just exists because they’re all good boys and girls) is in danger.

  Oh God I just thought that was some random “AI artist.” It’s so much more cringe now that you’ve brought my attention to who posted it.

  Why do we have to go backwards? We’re the most technologically advanced that we’ve ever been.

  Your brain has just been rotted by capitalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The case prevents the heat from the phone (which should be the same) from dissipating so it can possibly build.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do animals think we're cute?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol that’s awesome. Elephants are so dope.

  Ever hear of Avalanches? Their music is incredible and it’s made entirely from samples, including some from well known artists such as the Beatles.

  Though they are kind of the exception as their second album took 16 years to complete, in no small part due to asking permission for every sample.

  But there’s entire genres of music that either utilize samples, or are literally constructed completely from them.

  Girl Talk is another one that comes to mind. It’s pretty much entire albums full of mashups.

  DJ Shadow is a legend who, I believe, only uses vinyl for sampling.

  Hip hop would not have survived without sampling. Listen to Madlib and J Dilla. Check out Wu-Tang Clan and listen to some of RZA’s beats.

  Check out MF DOOM’s producer alter ego (Metal Fingers). Dude put out an entire series of instrumental tracks made using samples called “Special Herbs,” that both he and other hip hop artists have used for backing tracks.

  Beastie Boys were one of the first to do it with Paul’s Boutique.

  I would bet that the majority of music that’s out there that is sample-based has not been approved by the original owners of the pieces.

  I know what you were saying, but you’ve missed the point.

  One of my favorite things is when people mash up two popular songs and shared it on Napster. Can’t get anywhere close to that today without risking account bans on most sites. I say open the flood gates.

  Eh? Of course you could.

  Do you really not see the difference between food/shelter, things that you WILL die without, and employment?

  The only reason you need the latter for the former (and I mean, no you don’t but whatever) is because of how society is set up.

  Your body doesn’t shut down if you don’t clock in to your job for X days.

  “A real labor of love”

  Christ. It’s like people cosplaying as real artists.

  Yes, only one thing can be an “insult to life”. GOOD point.

  Nah, they’re all just socio-/psychopaths

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As I said, you might want to hurry up. They’re already talking about selling that land.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I had not heard of this until reading your comment, and I’ve just started down the rabbit hole… This place looks fucking incredible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s such a beautiful poem too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You might need a brick oven though if you want that pizza to compare to the good shit you can get pretty much anywhere in the Northeast US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d surely visit one, before I left, because the experience isnt going to be the same in any other.

  You might want to visit them soon anyway, as I believe they will be significantly reduced over the next 4 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps I’m illiterate, but I saw nothing in their comment suggesting that the US is the only country with National Parks.

  I don’t think they even implied that they’re better than any other National Parks.

  Seems cool but kind of gimmicky (particularly the twist gestures to open files). I’ll take actual tactile feedback over gimmicky features.
