Static-X (Wayne Static was such a legend)

Led Zeppelin

Pink Floyd

Steely Dan (RIP Walter Becker)

Fleetwood Mac

I actually have seen both Static-X and Fleetwood Mac in concert, but that was after both Wayne Static and Christine McVie had passed.

What do women want?

More. That has been true since the Garden of Eden.

The Supreme Court has decided a few times that children have a very limited freedom of speech. Garbage ruiling but predictable.

Watching TG: Maverick in the theater, right before the movie started there was a video message from Tom Cruise both apologizing to the audience for the movie taking so long to release and thanking them for seeing the movie in the theater. For all his faults he seems to be a guy who legitimately cares about the 'magic' of the movies. He has always impressed me with his insistence on having real stunts in his movies and not going the lazy route by doing it all in CG.

The Victorians considered it just fine to empty their chamber-pot out onto the street, so it was indeed a very shitty way to travel.

The last good Battlefield was Battlefield 2 way back in 2005. The franchise has been dead for years.

Apparently there are some Cease & Desists going around from Kirsche as Vice just deleted their articles.

Yep, especially when they implemented the Terror Alert levels that was constantly displayed on all major networks. Because it was so important for you to know that today has a yellow risk of terrorism.

Based on voting records those pensioners are the ones supporting the police state, so I have no sympathy.

Women have used sex as currency for as long as we have had written history

Its not just a human thing. In 2005 an economist and psych taught capuchin monkeys about money, exchanging tokens for food.

It took several months of training for the capuchins to learn that they could exchange such a token for fruit.[...] Researchers observed that the monkeys could even budget. Researchers then changed the market and put Jell-O at a lower price, to see if monkeys would buy fewer grapes and more Jell-O. They acted exactly like the current laws of economics dictate for humans as well.

But then they decided to limit the number of tokens to create scarcity

One of the researchers, during the chaotic episode mentioned earlier, observed how one of the monkeys (a female) exchanged money with another (a male) for sex. After the act was over, the monkey which was paid immediately used it to buy a grape.

I can’t imagine what the argument for banning people from putting up bulletproof glass must be.

"DATS RACIST!"

Sources (KF) are saying that the lawsuit was never about the cheating allegations, and was about the ApolloLegend comment the entire time. So Karl seems to have lied in most of his reporting about the case.

tl;dr: Youtuber Karl Jobst and 'pro gamer' Billy Mitchell have been having a back and forth spat for years. Billy is quite the cheater when it comes to records both old and new, and Karl garnered millions of views calling him out. So Billy sued Karl in an AU court (where Karl lives) for defamation. Karl told everyone it was for the cheating allegations, turns out it was for Karl implying that Billy had a hand in ApolloLegend's suicide (another YTer).

Apparently the defamation suit was focused on Karl's allegations that Billy caused ApolloLegend to commit suicide, not the cheating claims as Karl had been reporting. Being tried in an Australian court for defamation, he really had no chance.
