Niggers don't actually vote. The negro vote in each district is a few enormously fat black women stuffing the ballot boxes with fake votes. It doesn't matter what the blacks actually want, because that's not who decides the vote counts.

But what if I actually enjoy Megadeth and fast cars?

I don’t super want to shit on megadeth, but they’re missing a soul or something. The way their music is actually written doesn’t give me the satisfaction I’m looking for, it feels kinda hollow to me. And it’s not even in the up front sense of caring about what the song is even about, it’s like in the way they resolve their harmonies and the way they move through scales and modes.


I’ve always thought Metallica were better -musicians-

I've felt this way about Megadeth for a long time. I only started to like them when I saw them in a fest 2 years ago, it was so good. I still prefer Metallica, the 4 first albums are unchallenged

No need to use the plural. Megadeth is just Dave Mustaine and hired guns. I don't think he really even thought about songs as being anything more than a vehicle for drunken rage and blinding-hot riffs until Countdown To Extinction (that said, I don't think there's ever been a better album by anyone for drunken rage and hot riffs than Rust in Peace). The System Has Failed is probably my favorite album of his.

The last poll I saw (source?!) found niggers are the single most anti-ICE demographic, much more anti- than hispanics are. They're more serious/uniform in their hatred of white people. (Jews were not separately counted, or they'd have beaten the niggers.)

TSA Will Now Refer to Non-US Citizens As ‘Aliens’ Under New Rule

The US Transportation Security Administration will now refer to non-US citizens as “aliens” in its regulations, according to a change announced Friday.

The decision was included in a final rule signed by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

The government said it was making the change to “align TSA’s regulatory language with statutory terms and definitions in the Immigration and Nationality Act,” a law enacted in 1952.

President Donald Trump’s administration has already been using the term “alien” in executive orders and on government websites. The TSA’s change further expands its usage, which some advocates and prior administrations have said dehumanizes non-US persons.

The policy reverses US government moves under former President Joe Biden to reduce the use of the word, such as removing in 2021 references to “aliens” from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services policy manual.

TSA’s change didn’t go through the normal notice-and-comment period required of most government regulations, according to the final rule, because it “has no substantive effect on the regulatory requirements and places no stamp of approval or disapproval on any type of behavior.”

My favorite songs in the thrash epoch are always the instrumentals. Like call of Ktulu and To Live is to Die were the sound tracks of some recurring dreams I had as a kid. They LAND it every time.

I still like their later stuff, I just stopped seeing it as the peak of metal and more of experimental rock

Like for instance, I don’t think of Tool as metal at all… I think of it as more like dark/heavy jazz/pop. If you look at the music closely and try to like, determine criteria to define metal as a genre, say by setting parameters for the range of tempo and the scales and the time signatures, a lot of bands will defy your attempts and you’ll start to see there’s some trickery involved

there’s a time and place for everything under the sun, and sometimes I even listen to Holy Diver without laughing

They are not that Metal but I like Load and Reload. Everything that came after St Anger feel really bland I though

Dio is a king, don't trash talk him *sigh*
Dio's Black Sabbath > Ozzy's Black Sabbath for me.

Unpopular opinion here: German and South American Thrash Metal is better than US Thrash. I hope Trump will do something for this.

this seems like a very easy fix for the dems, just have one or two of them drop out, then let porter/swalwell take the free win for the party
what's stopping them from doing this?

That will probably happen when things come to the final stretch, but you never know. Dem infighting leading to California going red would be hilarious to watch. It'd also give the republicans a big talking point for the 2028 presidential election if they run Newsome. They can say his leadership was so bad that it turned California red.

Floppy disks are technologically similar to audio cassettes, both boiling down to magnetic particulate bonded to a thin plastic substrate all housed in a protective shell for handling. The old supply lines specifically for floppy disks are dead, but all the underlying disciplines are still used elsewhere in industry and the materials to resurrect them are still produced, there just hasn't been enough of a motive yet.

Funnily enough it'd be pretty easy to restart production on monochrome CRTs (but for a similar lack of motive), it's the added complexity from silk-screening the phosphor stripes/dots and including the shadow mask that really kill any chance of new color tubes.

Manufacturing CRTs is pretty much impossible with environmental regulations. I think that’s the real killer for them.
