I think what we find funny here is that it’s McD… You’d usually bring out fancier stuff for a head of state. You know, refined stuff made by a chef, not sloppy fast food.

That’s called a wealth tax and it exists in (for example) the Netherlands. All assets except your house over 57k€ are taxed every year.

Sorry miss/mam! Yeah I was looking at the used stuff if I want to go very cheap there’s some options, makes sense I can see these either getting outgrown or people giving up on it. But I’d want at least real pedals ideally double and maybe with those mesh things?

Nice genres yeah I was thinking punk rock for sure just for good mood and workout and pretty easy technically. I didn’t even think about playing trip hop which is funny considering that’s kinda the genre I produced in.

Damn I’m really feeling like it now, the other day I was able to play an acoustic one for like 10min really gives me the itch haha. Only realistic option though is I’ll have to move the workout bench etc every time I think…

Thanks and happy drumming 🥁

Nice one man sounds like you’re progressing nicely!! I played them quite a bit when I was younger and I’ll go do the couple rhythms I still remember when I come across a kit so should be enough to get back into it enough to get a sweat. Biggest challenge is space and expense tbh!

Yeah for sure, I’ve had good experiences with Thomann before though and if it’s just to get the heart rate pumping at home…

I’ve been thinking about this. I don’t have much time for music these days nor would I really have the mental capacity for the creativity necessarily, but I could replace some of my workout time with “work out on some e-drums” time… Bit challenging to fit it at home but might be doable… Thomann makes some cheap-ish sets that look OK. Haven’t seriously played drums since I was a teen.

World cup includes tiny nations with players that are closer to your local plumber who plays on the weekends than to Christiano Ronaldo flying in on a private jet. Think Trinidad&Tobago and etc. Would definitely not be surprised when some of them get deported when stepping out of their regular flights.

No… Other regions should have their own "E.U"s and all these should report up into one global collaborative assembly. To each their local governance and independence, under global coordination. It’s the only way.

Maraudon was the worst of all imo, big empty rooms so not only did you get lost it just took forever to run everywhere. Good times.

Yeah I don’t know why it’s relevant in this picture but the giant liminal cube in the background really grabbed me, the more I look at it the more I want to give my soul to Zorg, destroyer of worlds.

I don’t think there really are ethical car manufacturers tbh, but it’s a spectrum for sure…

My Spanish is near non-existent but I was still able to read this perfectly.

Leaving all the girls together and boys together through puberty is all but certain of getting rid of the gays, truthfully pure genius muahahaha twirls moustache.

Different parts of astrology. The MBTI stuff replaces the horoscope/personality side of things, whereas chart reading replaces the future readings.

Looks like it’s a bit nippy out there, brrrr.

The one on the left is a true SIC (Standard Issue Cat) and while I could definitely still tell them apart with my cat even if not next to each other, SICs are pretty similar for sure, for example they all have the M on the forehead. The other one has some white bits so totally different as far as I’m concerned. Cutie pies btw!

I think that one’s coming as retaliation to the flat 20% so in like a month or three.

Yep, I’m European, I had my savings in a world ETF until last week when I pulled them out. Right now, they’d be higher than they were when I sold. Does it hurt a bit? Sure. Do I even consider going back in? Fuck no.

This kinda volatility is great if you’re a degenerate gambler or have the insider knowledge. I’m neither of these things and I’m in a personal situation where I don’t know when I’m gonna need these funds, ideally it’s in 20/30 years but no guarantees, and also I’m not in a position to keep buying monthly right now and since the last couple of years.

Now I’m just gonna sit on it for a while, and find ways to park my savings as far from the US as possible, certainly not in a world fund anymore which are 60/70% US exposure.

Congrats, they successfully pushed me and many like me out of the market so they can keep “the game” to themselves.

Lmao the image of a coyote with a belt of iPhones around its belly and a laser mounted on a rotating turret on its back chasing the dot across the border is quite something.

J’ai ri.
