I have records that are 30-50 years old. If maintained well, they sound great.
I still use streaming for the car and whatnot, but for home, I love vinyl. Records are beautiful and the act of playing one is almost a ritual.

As Ann Richards so succinctly put it: born on 3rd base, thought he hit a triple.
They could, but they won't.
Finland has a history of fascism.
Many countries worried about declining populations could just.. allow more immigrants. But most of them won't, at least not voluntarily.
Born in the Middle East, my dad was brown. I look like him but got my anglo mom’s white skin. We fled during the war and came to the USA.
A liberal friend called me “white passing”. I wish someone would have told the kids in school that they can’t call me removed, camel jockey, sand n***er because I’m white passing see?
I wish we could stop seeing memes about a fascist.
This could be a good thing. The monopoly Microsoft and the x86 architecture have had on computing has hampered new development for decades.
China is experimenting with different architectures and open source OS’s. It’ll be very interesting to see where this leads.
The vast majority of the population lives within 100 miles of the US border.
It's bloody cold up there.

Also, Canada has become something of a US vassal state. As much as the general population may complain about Americans (and they do) their politics has become a fun house mirror image of the US. They're neo-liberaling just as hard, if not harder than us. The only real difference is, some guy managed to get universal health care passed in the 50s, or they'd frankly be much worse off than they are now.
The US is going to experience massive brain drain in the next few years.
Welcome to being a 3rd world country y’all.

A long slog, but a well sourced and fantastic read.
I went to college in the early 90s and thought Chomsky was full if it back then. Glad to see others on the left voicing the same views.
Even with Star Wars, the studio would never have let him make the prequels.
Whether or not you liked them, it’s a trilogy about the main character becoming the bad guy.
But who opposes the US for its authoritarianism?
Of the multitude of reasons, that’s one of the least in my book. It’s not about authority, it’s about how it’s wielded and against whom.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with authority. It’s about what systems and people it’s protecting. In the case of the US: it’s property and the robber baron class.
What is it with western leftists and “anti-authoritarianism”?
It smells like just more libertarian fantasy.
Freaking Star Fleet has a central authority and chain of command and that’s about as pie in the sky as we can imagine.
Some ghouls downvoted this.
The headline and the article are on point.
Damn. That’s the one. Thanks
Good for them. This is pure photo op bullshit.
Agree with the above poster, someone should have thrown a shoe.
And slavery. Don't forget the slavery.
In fact, because of the wording of the 14th amendment, it's still cool. As long as you get locked up for committing a crime first.
It isn’t that nuanced. The colonized, subjugated population is rising up rather than laying down to continue getting slaughtered.
Liberate Palestine.
That’s me! I experience thought in pictures (opposite of the post) and emotions.
I have to translate into words for external /internal speech. One of the reasons I often “monologue out loud” much to my spouses chagrin.
The US invaded and occupied 2 countries on the pretext of terrorism and “weapons of mass destruction”.
Russia is seen as an invading force for attempting to protect Russian population in a country that borders its own.
If you’d asked me in 2012 if I supported dissolving NATO, I’d have called you crazy.
Ask me now…
