Außerdem ist Jedem das Seine ein viel älterer Spruch, der nur von den Nazis geklaut wurde. Das Original, nämlich das suum cuique der alten Römer ist auch nach wie vor Grundlage unseres Rechtsverständnisses.

Looking to finish Ball x Pit. It’s been a lot of fun.

O-kay. I can think of a myriad of other reasons than sheer cost why I might not want to buy a home straight away. But I see how the graphic kind of makes sense in the way you describe.

I’m not a big fan of landlords, by the way, and the instant downvoting for asking a simple question is extremely rude. Doesn’t exactly foster community engagement, guys! 😑

Not sure what the graphic is trying to say. Are landlords supposed to protect people from increasing costs of home ownership? 🤔 How are these ideas connected?

Mind you, ownership implies that you are not renting your home, you own it.

Smart.

Hope the cat knows.

Great illustration of the issue underlying flat-earthism. 👍

But you’re sure it wasn’t the poop knife? Like, 100% positive?

So what do you propose instead?

It’s a big task for sure. But reinventing the United States has been long overdue.

Same tactics as with climate change… “You can’t do anything anyway!”.

… is not something I would or did say and hence not a “tactic”.

Look, I really want to share the idea that you can “take back” who “We the People” are.

But have you ever taken a look at who wrote that document? That’s right, it was a bunch of rich white dudes who hated paying taxes. Slavers and landlords. Always have been. The country is rotten to the core.

Maybe now is the time to reinvent yourself instead of trotting out that tired old roll of toilet paper. All your institutions, your hallowed offices “The Congress”, “THE PRESIDENT”, “The Supreme Court of the United States of America”, have been thoroughly smeared with poop as well.

I say it’s time to flush it all down the drain.

Oh sweet summer child.

We didn’t have psyches back in the day. Just a can-do attitude and strong values.

And a bottle of alcohol too many here and there. And hobbies such as beating your wife black and blue in front of your kids. And fatal accidents from speeding around in our souped up cars.

Just none of that psyche shit, okay?

SLASH S.

Ooh, free glizzy!

Thanks for the warning.

From memory, it felt like the electrostatic discharge that used to happen whenever I was touching my car. Annoying but harmless. The CRT part was speculation as I was reaching around blindly and don’t ultimately know which exposed contact shocked me.

Interestingly, the PC suffered no damage at all and didn’t blow its internal fuse, either.

Windows 10 EOL is a problem for future me, having just signed up for free extended support.

And I’ve got CachyOS in my back pocket. Initial experiments have been somewhat positive.

Yeah, that’s why I’m not a burgers person. Never really got the appeal.

To me it actually conveys what I was thinking, namely “ex cuse me?”

Like the Italian hand gesture, you know.

Superhero franchises. Right.
How very interesting.

Depending on the era and genre, the most ubiquitous drum machine would be a Linn Drum (late 70s & early 80s pop, e.g. ABBA), Roland TR-808 (80s soft pop, e.g. Phil Collins), or Roland TR-909 (90s House/Dance/Trance, e.g. Scooter).

There are many others, of course, and even if the actual machine wasn’t used, these sounds have been sampled and reused countless times, e.g. using a Fairlight CMI.

Interestingly, the 808 is the only one of the three that does NOT use samples itself but synthesizes all of its percussion sounds, which gives it a rather distinct character. Perhaps that is what led you to believe that it is the most ubiquitous drum machine - it’s easier to recognize than the others, even in a crowded mix.
