@ Enco
I’m a little more concerned with what’s called “shrinkflation,” where, instead or raising prices, they give you less.
Now, a strict libertarian will invoke “buyer beware” and think that anyone who doesn’t read the entire (often quite detailed) label for changes is just stupid. Never mind that doing so would mean also knowing what was on…[Read more]

Ellen also reminds me of the young Ale, who was playing parts like the complicated bass part from Muse’s Hysteria well before 11. And she plays almost never looking at the neck as she plays!:

BUMP!!!
What, nobody wants to react to the return of The Rolling Stones.
If anything, check out the video. It’s one of the best music videos in the history of music videos!

Speaking of Vivek Ramaswamy, his campaign died in one interview by Mehdi Hasan. You rarely see anyone so thoroughly and successfully (though not to his benefit) avoid answering a simple question:

You will want to watch this video because you’ll learn things like Ale’s favorite band is l’Imperatrice and Dany likes Willow and Sonic Silk. And, surprisingly, Ale talks a lot.
I’m having to accept that I have no control over where these girls take their music. Maybe they’ll add some…[Read more]

States with weaker gun laws have higher rates of firearm related homicides and suicides, study finds
In short, where gun control is weak, there are more gun-related homicides. Look at the map in the article.
But you’ve done that classic tactic of distracting rather than answering. You’ve also moved the goal post from the end of the field…[Read more]

One reason why music is so bad is that there’s so much of it and tech is being substituted for talent. Autotune making singing sound too perfect, removing the human element; using cut and paste and other tricks to make every song perfect to the ear of the producer. This is why so many shows put on by performers fail to live up to their…[Read more]

The Warning appeared on the MTV awards show tonight. I didn’t watch it because I’d be subjected to a lot of music I don’t care much for and I knew someone would capture the performances and this guy wasted no time.
BTW, who IS this guy? He’s more obsessed with The Warning than PopeBeanie and me. He does reactions, portraits, and with his own…[Read more]

Like you, I’m waiting for Rick Beato to cover The Warning. In his last video on the deadly sameness of contemporary pop music, I commented something like “What? Is The Warning invisible to Rick Beato?” hoping to kick him in the pants to talk about them. WTF?!!!
He has a bazillion followers. For him to devote a segment to them would…[Read more]

As someone who was in college during the heyday of The Beatles and Stones, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, and the Who (all of whom I saw live) as well as Led Zeppelin, I feel somewhat qualified to say that if I could somehow get to choose between any of those bands and these three chicas, I’d rather attend a concert by The Warning.

(Kant’s) theory proposes that it is not consequences that should guide our actions; rather, we should be concerned about acting rationally and in accordance with duty to moral principles.
Think about it: It also presupposes a preexisting moral sense. And I think a moral sense usually implies a belief in generalizability. (“Is this sort of…[Read more]

My cat chooses to sleep cuddled up next to me almost every night. Almost. Sometimes, she goes to the top level of her cat tower to sleep.
Is this choice evidence of free will in cats? What about when a dog waits till you’re not looking to steal your pork chop?
It seems to me that if you believe humans have free will, you have to think animals do…[Read more]

…if everyone were to universalize the maxim of borrowing money without intending to repay it, the concept of borrowing itself would become meaningless, as no one would be willing to lend money.
Ironically, one has to have a sense of morality prior to applying the categorical imperative. Where does that come from?

One of the big reasons given to justify people having guns is for self protection.
Where is the statistic showing that a significant number of those killed and wounded by guns became statistics due to some gun owner protecting him/herself?
If there is one, I believe you’ll find it’s somewhere in the single digits painfully close to 0%.

There’s another saying that goes by the wording “Live by the sword, die by the sword.”

Immanuel Kant’s Categorical Imperative is a fundamental principle in his moral philosophy. It can be summarized as follows:
“Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.”
In simpler terms, when making moral decisions, individuals should consider whether the principle or rule…[Read more]
