That font is like a litmus test for how middle class a brand is. All the things you posted are on the posh end of the spectrum (except the underground of course)

That's absolutely beautiful. I'm listening to the album now too and it's some good stuff
Sergeant Randall! The guns are gone! youtu.be/H_CQMtIrYnc?...

I do know why I remember it though - there was a checkpoint right before it and I spent hours dying there while playing on veteran difficulty

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

Here's a mini fireworks show I found in the slow motion details of a marine flare. I set this up to capture smoke patterns, but was delighted to find that what look like sparks to the naked eye are tiny perfect fireballs streaking through the sky when seen in close-up at 42x slower than real-time.

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual

PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

It's a weird world where the shittier a piece of software looks, the more I trust it.

The fancy looking ones? They're going to steal my data or extort me in pricing or just not work.

Crappy looking tools made by some random dude? This shit is going to get the job done and do nothing else.

One of the superpowers of coming up on late 90s / early 00s forums is an ingrained sense of a barrier between IRL life & The Internet, which is a place, its own distinct hellworld where nothing is real. Makes it easy to not fall for all the fake BS when you inherently view Online as 99% shenanigans
i think people who have actually posted on forums and image boards in the 2000s (or forums in general earlier) have a qualitative advantage on everyone else

There is a quasi-religion in Silicon Valley that views AI as godlike. This faith has always been parallel to Evangelical Christianity: salvation (transhumanism), the rapture (the technological singularity), and demons (Roko's Basilisk)

Lately the AI faith has fully fused with Christian Nationalism.
