I’ve heard “human capital” before. The soulless fucks make others a commodity by stripping the mere mention of their existance of its humanity.

Jokes aside, frfr on god no cap, I got a lot of respect for gen-z/α. Ya’ll are facing unprecedented and seemingly insurmountable hardships the like of which the US and the world as a whole haven’t seen in modern history. As they say, hard times make tough people. We millennials haven’t had the best of runs but these next generations are in uncharted territory.

Shit, I just recently learned what a goon cave is. I can’t be expected to keep up.

The ol’ “doob tube”. Ahh, the memories. We thought we were being sneaky but it was more of a, “Congratulations, now your room just smells like dryer sheets and shitty weed, you fucking genius.” And we all just did that anyway.

At no point I do I think bullying should be allowed in schools but the reality is that if a kid was demanding a litter box in which to relieve themselves, they would get ostracized, bullied into oblivion, and that behavior would stop right away. No legislation required. Humans have a way of self correcting themselves in group environments. It’s an evolutionary trait from our days as tribes.

Again, bullying is a huge problem that needs to be taken far more seriously in our school systems… Buuuut, humans will act like humans, especially human children, when it comes down to things way outside the norm. Its just the way we are at this stage in evolution.

Mhhh… yes, we millenials who are approaching or are already in our 40s… what’s all that red eye stuff about?

Tool’s cover of No Quarter by Led Zeppelin. Page was channeling future Adam Jones with those riffs. It’s s a shame that the only official release of that song is on Tool’s coveted “Salival” album which is notoriously hard to get ahold of for anything even resembling a decent price if you can even find a good copy. Damn, I wish they would re-release that album.

Aladin had that extra life at the start of the first level.

I build cables and it’s truly an art for me. My custom cables are used on many of the biggest movies in the world on the production sound carts the sound mixer uses to record everything. I’ve also wired full professional camera rigs. I’ve wired many full cart builds from scratch, meaning every power, RF, timecode, video and analog and digital audio cable in the entire cart was built by my hands. If it connects 2 points, i built it.

I’m going to admit to tooting my own horn here because I’ve not seen cleaner builds by anyone else. When I begin a build, I plan and visualize the entire setsup and it’s organization. It’s like a puzzle from the order of operations to the configuration I use based on input from the mixer and gear used. I love it and I approach it as an artist because it truly is. Ive spent many many years learning how to build every single cable you’d ever find on a film set and build them extremely well.

I think they mean the nature and true goal of higher education is not to educate, but is singularly profit and make more and more profit each and every semester. Profit above all else but hopefully, but not nessecary whatsoever, an institution’s shamefully underpaid and overworked staff has the time or energy to properly teach the next generation their area of expertise.

Higher education wants $$$ and they know the government and private corporations will issue about any 18 year old kid, fresh out of high school who has been pressued their entire childhood to either go to college or be a homeless prostitute, massive and insanely high interest “loans”

It’s to take from you and burden you with debt that can’t be undone, even in the event of personal bankruptcy. Why would this system give money away when they can loan it out for an abusive & permanent high interest loan that would make even a gambling addict blush?

Cage fight: Mob Deep & Mos Def vs. NWA & Snoop. Who would win?

P.s. K.L. does the halftime show for that one too.

Edit: Trick question. WuTang wins.

as featured on his album, “Bad Hair Day”

Aight, I checked and it’s not them, but I’m def gonna give them a listen. Looks like they only had 2 albums. 10/10 hint tho.

EDIT: oh shit, the guys from “U Know Who,” awesome. I’m looking for more photos of them.

ohhhhh. Excellent, info!!! Checking them out now.

The top left looks like a young Mos Def. This album came out in 1994 and his first album came out in 1997. BUT in 95’, he was in this group that did an album called “Manifest Destiny.” So the dates line up kinda.

*Edit: After a bit of research, Mos Def’s 1st album came out in 97, not 99.

It’s progress. Moolio, Schoolio, & Goolio are still on the table tho.

I used my graphics tablet and my "e"s are a little wack I guess

Yeah. The sad part is that this was back in 1997. Their public education system is in far worse shape than it was back then. Wisconsin had an excellent and well funded public education system so I went from getting a really good education to about the worst possible you can find in the US. So glad I wasn’t there long. Some of those kids are still there as adults, still holding out for a successful rap career and sending their little shit apples to the same school, repeating the cycle.

In 8th grade my family had to leave my home state of wisconsin to be in Mt.Ida, Arkansas for 9 months or so. During that time I had to attend the local public school and I remember the science teacher saying “matter cannot be created nor destroyed.” I’ve always loved science and was a huge nerd during that awkward time in my life and I knew well it was ENERGY and figured she just said it by accident. Easy mistake. I said that it was energy, not matter, that can’t be created nor destroyed and she argued with me and was dead serious when she insisted it was indeed matter.

I said something along the lines of hydrogen turning to helium inside the sun, and wouldn’t ya know it, she didn’t believe the universe was old enough for that to be true and only god can create matter… Yup, she was a 7-day creationist who wholely belived the universe was 5000 years old teaching science in a public school in bumfuck Arkansas. I gave up and a lot of things she said before finally started making sense but in all the wrong ways.

This bumb bitch was a fundamentalist Christian. The rest of the brief time I was there, and for the first time in my life, I didn’t give two shits about a class that was usually one of my favorites.
