I love the line “when an explosion explodes hard enough, dust wakes up and thinks about itself”

Yep, he’s literally Hitler, just without the mass genocide (yet).

We’ve always wondered how so many people followed Hitler, now we know

“Please welcome to the stage Rutilated Quarrrrrtz!”

Thanks I remember using this the last time I tried to use MO2 and it worked well, it was everything else that was the nightmare.

Heh, third time’s a charm I guess! I love how they went from Nexus Mod Manager to Vortex and now back to Nexus Mod App 😂

I’m a Linux SysAdmin, so I’m well versed in Linux. My server, laptop and phone all run it, but my desktop still runs Windows 10 because modding Skyrim (via MO2) is a pain in the ass (apparently there have been a lot of improvements in this area in the past year or two since I last tried).

Windows is such a garbage OS. For the past week or so, ModOrganizer2 would hang for a few seconds anytime I attempted to explore the files of a mod I had installed. MO2 gave no hints regarding what the issue was. I searched for an answer last night and found it on GitHub: a disconnected network drive is the cause…even though everything I was accessing is local 🤦‍♂️ This apparently affects various programs and isn’t specific to MO2, since the person that posted the solution found the original solution in a Steam bug report from over 2 years ago!

I unmounted the network drive and everything was back to normal! Fucking garbage OS.

It is truly insane how indoctrinated these people are.

Hahaha unlike my Reddit account which easily links back to me (I made it 11 years ago and didn’t heavily start using it until about 6 years ago), this has zero link to me so I have no shame.

You are correct, that was probably autocorrect’s fault.

The tickets were only like $100 a piece for second level seats and that was mostly because of the ticket pricing bullshit. It was like $60 for the ticket and $40 of “fuck you, pay me” money and then the taxes on top of that. I saw Metallica back in 2018 and it was $100 for pit tickets. I was like 30 feet from James.

Ah, I misread the last part. Of course if it’s a small Indie band they’re not going to charge out of the ass for stuff, that’d be dumb on their part.

For point c, it’s actually cheaper depending on how they do it. One of my favorite artists, mc chris, has done USB discog sales for over a decade. He charges like 100 for it last I saw, but it’s also a custom USB along with having like 10-20 albums and Eps.

That’s pretty cool, but at what quality? MP3? AAC? M4A? FLAC? You don’t know until you buy it and plug it in, you know that a CD is going to be WAV files which is uncompressed audio mastered at the best quality possible, which you can then rip to your desired format. If whats on the USB drive isn’t FLAC, you’re limited to what they gave you.

It would be much more expensive to press, bundle and package/ship that many CDs in comparison to a single USB drive

It all depends on if you’re doing it yourself or if you have someone that’s already setup to do it as a business. After a quick search, I found a site that will do 100 CDs with inserts and jewel cases for $255, I’m sure the price goes down with the more you order. The same site offers custom USB drives with silkscreen printing (how else are you going to know what’s on it amongst all your other flash drives assuming you intend to keep it?) is $330 for 100, so if the artist is actually putting multiple CDs onto a single USB drive than it definitely is cheaper for them, but I’m not sure how many bands would actually do that.

And since it’s also merch, point 4 is unlikely. He’s never cared about his music being pirated (and even has lyrics about his music being ‘forever free for the poor kids’, so B isn’t an issue either.

That’s one artist, lots of artists care about their music being pirated because it cuts into their revenue, which they get very little of in the first place (referring to CDs, not streaming which is a lot better for them in terms of revenue). IDK how old you are, but I’m guessing you don’t remember Napster/Limewire/Kazaa. Also, a lot of the time it’s the companies that own the rights to the music that care the most because they’re the ones that get like 70% of the profits.

Option a is basically do you trust the artist, which one would hope they’re trustworthy, but they could also Sony you if they weren’t…

Ah, yes, the good old Sony rootkit.

don’t come texting me about none I said

She sounds like a smart one>

or coconuts

“I slipped and fell on it…”

While I agree that the ruling is pretty ridiculous, the guy sounds like a human vacuum and caused his own problems:

He had cut up his wing into thirds, eating the first two pieces of it normally. On his third one, Berkheimer felt like something went down the wrong “pipe,” the court documents said…Doctors found a 1 and 3/8 inch chicken bone in his throat, one that tore open the wall of his esophagus.

How the fuck do you not notice that you’re eating a nearly 1.5" (38mm) bone?! 1.5" is literally the length of the tong tine on a metal fork (I had laying around after typing up the above and measured it just for the hell of it haha) or probably a sewing needle.

If there’s even the tiniest bit of gristle or something in my meat I immediately spit it out, dude straight up swallowed a freaking chicken bone.

edit: apparently the human vacuums got offended by this. Put another way that’s like putting half a toothpick in your meat and then not noticing it in your mouth

We don’t fuck fruits if that’s what you’re asking. Other things are fair game though. A horny (pre) teenage boy will fuck damn near anything he can fit his dick in.

Or totally creep out your kids. “OMG dad knows what I’m doing! And he wants me to keep doing it apparently, I’m going to fucking die.”

It would probably be a lot less awkward coming from the mom. I feel like it would be like a father having the “period talk” with his daughter (obviously this happens in the case of single dads but that’s not the point I’m making), it’s super awkward for both parties involved.
