@sun mass media let us speed run the final 200 years of empire in about 50

pistolero

@pwm @sun It's a mistake to confuse a people with a government.

@p @pwm I still like a lot of americans but the culture is in decline too

pistolero

@sun @pwm It turns out that if you stop watching the news and you discard everything ever said by some rich kid on Youtube, your opinion on this completely reverses.

@p @pwm ok man like I havent seen my entire hometown decay before my eyes and worsen every single time I go back. you can find individual exceptions everywhere but there's a trend

Pilgrim, Wayfarer, Malcontent

@sun @p middle America was strip mined by urbanites of worthy humanity and left it a shell of itself, yes.
You got scooped up and out, case in point. Ditto my parents. There is now no "family home" per se, just a series of domiciles.

Blurry Moon

@pwm @p there is absolutely no separation between the economic and social decay, by the way. when you're driven into poverty and wage slavery the entire social fabric breaks down, in every way.

pistolero

@sun @pwm You say this like these forces were naturally occurring.

Blurry Moon

@p @pwm of course not, this was done to us

pistolero

@sun @pwm They were done by consent of the boomers and the boomers are dying. The next election, they will no longer be the majority voting bloc.

@p @sun I can't wait for the thousand year reich of the Millennial
Avocado toast for everyone!

:conga_parrot::conga_parrot::conga_parrot::conga_parrot:

@pwm @p @sun I put slices of avocado on molletes, it's way better than just plain mashed avocado

pistolero

@mrsaturday @pwm @sun I just slice it in half and put some hot sauce and garlic salt on it.

Pilgrim, Wayfarer, Malcontent

@p @mrsaturday @sun I don't even like avocado all that much, but you're a monster.

@pwm @p @mrsaturday @sun yer a lost cause, son

pistolero

@bajax @pwm @mrsaturday @sun They don't know how to eat an avocado. All they know is sweet onion, be humid, and mud they truck.

Pilgrim, Wayfarer, Malcontent

@p @bajax @mrsaturday @sun WAR DAMN EAGLE THATS RIGHT

Pilgrim, Wayfarer, Malcontent

@p @bajax @mrsaturday @sun its ironic because I'm less of a bumpkin than bajax, if my read is correct

@phnt @bajax @f0x @mrsaturday @pwm @sun I will take your word for it but cannot view Youtube.

@p @bajax @pwm @f0x @mrsaturday @sun liberated (on extremely ADSL otherwise I would post the full FLAC file I have)
Chomp Chomp.opus

pistolero

@phnt @bajax @f0x @mrsaturday @pwm @sun Apparently no opus codec here. I will get back to you after reencoding it.

Phantasm

@p @bajax @pwm @f0x @mrsaturday @sun we are both taking a joke song I posted way too seriously

pistolero

@phnt @bajax @f0x @mrsaturday @pwm @sun `ffmpeg -i $file -b:a 256k $output` isn't a very serious activity.

@phnt @bajax @f0x @mrsaturday @pwm @sun Okay but then it was renfair metal.

@p @bajax @pwm @f0x @phnt @mrsaturday @sun

Like Alestorm or Sabaton?

Hopefully no one listens to that

pistolero

@amerika @bajax @f0x @mrsaturday @phnt @pwm @sun Sabaton is popular with the ladies for some reason. (I think the closest I get to metal is Carpenter Brut.)

> Sabaton is popular with the ladies for some reason.

I have not noticed that. What I did notice over a decade ago though is how mediocre they are.

pistolero

@amerika@annihilation.social remote

@phnt @amerika @bajax @f0x @mrsaturday @pwm @sun I've seen a lot of girls in Sabaton shirts or posting about listening to Sabaton. It has been a minute to be fair.

@p @bajax @pwm @f0x @phnt @mrsaturday @sun

It's gospel music for hard rock fans.
