It’s been two years that I’ve been a slave to the IB. The end may be right around the corner, but as I see it, it’s just another time.

Yes, I stopped caring all that much and I’m yet again falling into the pit of “activities I just do lacking will to do anything else”. Brings back the time I had a conversation with a classmate. Some pothead, I know quite a few of those. “Think you can ever quit?”

Of course he said he could. He wants to feel in control of it. But one thing did strike me - “it’s a symptom if somebody’s doing something like that.” In that moment of introspection he almost gained my sympathy.  “Is there anything wrong with you then?” He shook his head, of course.

So yes, there’s something wrong. I’m very tired of this, I stopped caring. But I’ll tell you what, here’s the fun part:

GET READY TO LIVE ON THE EDGE, PROLETARIAT DRIFTER SCUM.

Yay for minimum wages. Time to install WordPress 2.5. Yay for GPL.

Yes, finally some proper music produced after 1992! Crazy, I know, I never thought I’d say this.

Thanks to the advents of waffles.fm and The Pirate Bay I can get new music without spending a dime in instants and not feel too guilty. And so I snatched an mp3 LAME V0 (note: “LAME” doesn’t mean “lame”) copy of “Whip It On“.

The distortion somehow sounds very similar to The Jesus & Mary Chain though and not quite as “hard”. If there was an “awesome” dial, I think they turned it down a bit (from the makers of the “I-win” button). That isn’t to say it’s bad, just different. It’s kinda like they listened to Psychocandy and said, “o hai, i upgraded ur records”. I think The Raveonettes are actually felines. Yes, I’m a fucking lolcat addict, shoot me!

The rip is good quality and I suggest you all snatch a copy from waffles.fm. (Uhm… nothing to do with my ratio, no, no, not at all, what makes you think I just want to boost my ratio?) Overall, I like this record. It also seems to work as a record and not just as songs, which is rare these days (nobody buys records anyway). Very solid.

Edit: “Jesus” here (where’s Mary?) would like to make a point that he’s the one who introduced me to The Raveonettes. Unfortunately he’s a noob, so he doesn’t have a blog I can link to.

I blog, therefor I don’t flame.

This time I’d like to bring an example of somebody writing a guide, but simply being too conservative.

This is my reply to his post, which I won’t put on the official forums out of fear of offending him directly, but merely express my opinion:

Barvradl’s guide really is great, except for a tiny little flaw.

[quote]Yes, but we aren’t talking about a nationality here, we are talking about a race, a race that is highly subsceptible to changes in its enviroment.[/quote]

True, African Americans did become white. And I suppose the reason for environment change really is religious views.

[quote]The Draenei are more than a ‘group’ of Eredar now, the Draenei are their own race, they differ from what they used to look like by quite a great deal now due to the amount of special racial abilities the Light has given them, such as the Gift of the Naaru.[/quote]

Absolutely, all native Americans are still animists, none of them have converted to Christianity (not even one) since Europeans (inherently all of them were good Christians, of course) were responsible for the annihilation of most of them (directly and indirectly). (Jared Diamond, “Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed”)

[quote]Draenei society is based on integrity and unity, notice that there are literally no rebels amongst their own people? Draenei view eachother as equal and respect the opinions of others.[/quote]

Well, yeah, believing in the light or not isn’t an “opinion”, it must be genetic or something, the same way Judaism is genetic.

[quote]Also, Draenei are not humans, so you cannot apply human morality and human behaviour to a race that is incredibly different to ours. [/quote]
[quote]It just isn’t plausible for a race, such as the Draenei, a race that is based on integrity and honour to suddenly revoke the teachings of the Light after it is directly responsible for their own existence.[/quote]

As I see you are not reasoning this with your human morality, I can see your point. Indeed, and it isn’t possible for a child to turn against their parent(s). (as we don’t see in King Lear of course) Patricide never happened in history, and people have never left the Holy Light in the Lore and have never done anything “evil” to anyone else (as we all know Arthas never left the Holy Light)
