You used to have to fix shit back in the day. Now for 99.99% of things in 99.99% of cases windows just works.

But they build an architectural masterpiece and then plastered it with billboards.

Whats your ICQ?

Honestly I dont like it simply because its just a lazy joke.

Anything MGK has put bodily fluids in is forever unclean.

Like how WB quietly shelved Speedy Gonzalez and the Latin community was like “No, fuck you. He was OUR GUY, we had representation! Now his cousin, the lazy slow one… yeah that shit can go.”

You’re speaking english on the internet. Not only are you white, you are American and Male by default.

Honestly, the only thing marketplace sucks for is cars.

Ive only ever had luck selling cars on platforms that require you to pay to list. Marketplace just gets you an endless string of time wasters and people who want it for half the asking price.

Because Facebook killed enthusiast forums for most of my hobbies and everyone migrated to FB. Thats where the knowledge is.

Someone was always going to do an XL version for people who want something thats more “portable gaming station” than “handheld”. I dont know why people seem to be bitching about having options.

Your assesment of that era of rap is 100% spot on. That was a very braggadocious and flashy era leading up to the financial collapse in 08. Dj Khaled was music for nightclubs, it was “gangster rap” for the masses, it was radio play accessible without being edited to death… and it sold.

I dont know the man but I think it was a lot like what happens to a lot of people in entertainment, you have to fake it till you make it. Nobody wants to hear songs about how you’re going to climb to the middle. But eventually at some level of success you need to stop huffing your own farts and show some humility and I dont think he ever has.

You said it yourself he is very good at generating hype in an industry that survives on hype. He was a flashy obnoxious tool when everyone was wearing Ed Hardy jeans and 3 inch round Ecko watches studded with fake diamonds. He was Mr Miami when the south was blowing up rap wise. He was the right personality, in the right place, at the right time with the right skills and right connections and he hustled.

I know I’m repeating myself saying “I think he is a tool” but that being said, I was really into rap and the scene during the era he had his come up and I know he didnt stumble into success.

I get especially annoyed when people act like because their great great grandparents on one side of their tree were Italian that they have some innate knowledge of pasta and sauce.

Like even if nonna learned from her nonna and you learned from her, theres still a non zero chance that great great nonna was a SHIT COOK.

Dj Khaled is kind of the posterchild for egotistical dickhead, I will never dispute this. However, his skill is bringing talent together and he is pretty damn good at it. He’s more like a movie producer/casting director than a music producer in how he does business. He hears a beat, thinks “Who would destroy on this?” Buys the beat, Makes some phone calls, gets some artists onboard to do a verse, pays the artists for their work, mixes the track or pays a producer who he thinks has skills to do it for him and releases it.

He is the child of Palestinian immigrants and built himself his dream job and is worth an estimated 70 million, have a look at his wikipedia for the sheer number of awards he has been nominated for… Talentless hacks cant do that. Raging egomaniacs with annoying personalities sure can tho.

If I get interrupted talking 3 times in a meeting I get up and walk out. This isnt beers with the boys or brunch with the gals, if my opinion cant be respected in full I have work to do.

Not too long after it came out I was good at Siege and I mean good I was ranked in the top 1000 players and I thought that was pretty badass. I got a DM from some guy who was like “Hey I’m from TEAM and we wanted to know if you wanted to try out for our Siege squad?” I said thanks but no thanks, I have a mortgage and a full time and then some job. I dont want to take on the obligation.

I then went and googled the team, I was being courted by serious professional players. I still decided I didnt want that headache but as someone who has always been an underachiever it was like an IRL achievement popup or a level up notification. Like… look what I can achieve when I actually give a fuck and put the work in.

Yeah but in 4 years unless Trump tries to go full Putin thats going to matter.

Vance doesnt have the cult of personality behind him.

I genuinely believe that the best case scenario for America is that it all goes to shit SO FAST that even his most ardent supporters have to say “No, this is fucked. He needs to go.”

Yeah but this is like 20 years on… you can reinvent the character with that kind of gap.

I live quietly in hope on this one.

My prediction is that sony and microsoft will have benchmarks 3rd party devices have to hit in order to buy a “PS6 Compatable” logo for their product. So you can buy a Msi Claw 3 or whatever, sign into the PSN and shop the sony catalogue.
