What are /r/lewronggeneration's favorite Products & Services?

Original photo (before it was stupefied here) is by Richard Avedo in the series "In the American West". The original meme creator might be a bit horrified by the variety of misfits, drifters, crackups portrayed in the original series.

>I feel bad for this generation. They have lost the ability to communicate with out texting.

This is manifestly false. If anything, our avenues for communication have only broadened. We're all communicating right now and I don't even fucking know you people. Texting hasn't invalidated interpersonal communication, I can still call my friends if I need to, but sometimes it's more efficient to send a non-intrusive text.

>When i was young, you couldn't get on the phone and the internet at the same time. The phone was attached to the wall and your parents could pick up another line and listen in.

How is either of those a good thing? This person just complained about how modern technology has crippled our ability to communicate with others and then immediately turns around to long for the days when people's options were more limited. The ability for parents to invade their children's privacy still exists insofar as some kids not being smart enough to hide their browsing histories...so if you want a lack of secrecy, it still exists. >Life was more about imagination, people did things face to face.

People still do. A good chunk of my online communication is coordinating stuff with other people.

>Kids being born now will never know 16 bit graphics.

Is that right?

>They will never know that it take (sic) 17 episodes to create a spirit bomb in DBZ

Funimation's DBZ website, you can stream some episodes or buy the dvds...the show is still extant...also 5 minutes of a fight being spread over 8 plus episodes was atrocious...

>They'll have no clue what a drive in movie theater is.

Most 90's kids only knew of those by reputation...they've been a relic for ages...

you know what, you're right...this is awful, I thought I could hash this out in about 30 minutes but screw it...

I'm going to guess he was talking about Yeezy's line in a cypher:

I sold my soul to the devil thats a crappy deal, least it came with a few toys like a Happy Meal

That's also a misquotation. It's a paraphrase of a dissertation from the early 1900s by a guy named Kenneth John Freeman. Here is a part that I used for an essay:

“The counts of the indictment are luxury, bad manners, contempt for authority, disrespect to elders, and a love for chatter in place of exercise. … Children began to be the tyrants, not the slaves, of their households. They no longer rose from their seats when an elder entered the room; they contradicted their parents, chattered before company, gobbled up the dainties at table, and committed various offences against Hellenic tastes, such as crossing their legs. They tyrannised over the paidagogoi and schoolmasters”

Here's a thread dating back to 1998 with people basically bitching about how awful the 90s were and how the 80s were better and how everything about 90s culture is just "recycling" past decades

Three of the first ten releases on RYM's top rap albums are from this decade, so I wouldn't say it's doing too bad.

Every time Kidz Bop is brought up, I'm obligated by law to bring up that time some dude on /mu/ torrented a Kidz Bop album and played every song at once.

We have heard the voice of God, and he is crying.

Blackface used to be acceptable, and now it isn't. Demonizing an entire ethnic group for the sake of the war effort used to be acceptable, and now it isn't.

Shit changes, deal with it. If you can't understand that, you're in for a bumpy few decades.

A lot of the popular music I hate stems from this fucking station right here. I've worked in retail for 4 years and this has been the go to station for the 2 stores I've worked in and they rarely update their playlist, and when they do it somehow is ALWAYS a song I hate.

Adele is now playing in the elevator of my personal hell. There was a good 6-7 month stretch where I heard Rolling in the Deep, Someone Like You, and Set Fire to the Rain every. single. day. I'd work a 4 hour shift and still somehow hear all 3. And when I'd work a 6-8 hour shift I'd usually hear them all twice, sometimes even 3 times. She is talented and does have a good voice, but every time I hear anything from her I just want to scream.

Then there's the unholy trinity: Slow, whiny, country. Just 2/3 is enough for me to hate a song, but get all 3 and I just despise it. The latest offender is Say Something by a Great Big World, god I hate that song.

Really just any slow pop music I can't stand. I love most mainstream pop when it's upbeat: OneRepublic, fun., Coldplay, Imagine Dragons (Demons can suck a fat one tho), Maroon 5, the Script, Bastille, American Authors, stuff like that. Hell I've even grown to love Katy Perry. But Passenger, John Legend, Christina Perri, Train (post Save Me San Francisco), the whiny side of Bruno Mars, shit like that I hate.

While looking up the names of some of these songs, I found that Christina Perri did A Thousand Years, Jar of Hearts, and Human.

Fuck. That. Bitch.^she^is^hot^tho

Well, one interesting instance of him hating his fanbase was a live performance where he changed the lyrics for "Something in the Way" to "I could shit on stage, and you would eat it up." He also had two quotes about his fans in the liner notes for Incesticide. He also hated singles fans (Smells Like Teen Spirit) which is why he and Dave and Krist wanted to change the sound on In Utero to more noise rock.

There are multiple chapters in The Autobiography of Malcolm X that address this exact issue! Interestingly, le respectable sophisticated civil rights black man was arguing that black people shouldn't dress like white people.

last.fm is good for scrobbling, but not much else. For finding new music I mainly use rateyourmusic. Once you've rated enough albums the automatic recommendation feature becomes extremely good.

>Hyster means womb in Latin (I think)

Hysterus is womb in Greek. Interestingly, the ancient Greeks thought the womb would wander around a woman's body and cause maladies. This is partly due to a Greek cultural taboo on cutting up dead bodies, which meant most of their knowledge of internal anatomy came from soldiers who were cut open in battle, and therefore was limited primarily to men.

Since it was generally believed that a woman's body was an inferior version of a man's, the Greeks assumed that the womb was an "extra" part that had no real correct place, and just floated around. Whenever it attached onto another body part, it would cause women to have problems, and if it latched onto the brain it would cause hysteria.

Ancient Greek cures for hysteria mostly involved trying to coax the uterus back down near the vagina. For example, they might have the woman sit in a bowl of perfumed water. Or, to try to shoo it away from the head, they might shove manure up her nose. While all of this may seem too removed to have any relevance today, it's worth noting that hysteria was still diagnosed (and treated with "hysterical paroxysm") even into the 20th century for any women who exhibited such general symptoms as "...anxiety, sleeplessness, [or] irritability".

“Whatever Mr Simmons says can not be treated seriously and should not be listened to at all because he looks like an idiot (judging by the photo above)"

“In my home village there was an idiot who looked exactly like Mr Simmons in the position on a photo above only he had no guitar because guitars were rare”

If you want to see the original thread here it is

Is it any wonder why I stopped posting there when I was 15?

What's funny about this is I took music classes from middle school to college and all of them had huge units dedicated to The Beatles. It's not like they're not getting the credit they deserve.

She's also showing her ignorance by lumping Future and Kendrick together. The latter is perhaps the most highly regarded artist of the century. He has two fucking albums falling in the top 100 of RYM's top albums of all time list.

Just like /u/Skitrel said, 9gag might set the number of likes to a lot more than how many people actually liked it.
According a Alexa, reddit is currently 38 in terms of global page views and unique site visitors.
On the other hand, 9gag is currently 205.
Both sites' traffic is estimated though, so the ranks aren't definitive.

Also, TIL that the second largest nationality that uses reddit is India, at 7.6%.

Inventions (ambient), Schnellertollermeier (avant-prog), Pinkshinyultrablast (shoegaze), The Kandinsky Effect (jazz), Nacho Picasso & Blue Sky Black Death (rap), An Autumn For Crippled Children (metal), Tricot (math rock), Bjork (art pop), Ghost Bath (metal), Benjamin Clementine (RnB, soul), Liturgy (weird shit), Susanne Sundfor (synth pop), Torche (sludge), Steven Wilson (prog)

that's everything I've rated above a 6 for this year

I think this is the one you're talking about: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ligi.survivalmanual

I installed it a few weeks ago, but I highly doubt I'll ever use it. Unless it's to look up "how to charge your phone to read this fucking thing using only twigs and berries." But it's free and I have the space, so why not have it?

Playin some DND tonight. DM says our characters are gonna be taken to an alternate reality where America was the aggressor in WWII. Should be fun

EDIT: also, this game is pretty fun and free if you're into survival games

It's not wrong. First of all, what makes you a better authority than them? Second of all, the apostrophed version was actually the preferred form in American English until the mid-70s.

1) Wazzup has to be one of the most annoying things ever. It was dated years ago

2) So a President having sex is good politics? Watergate is so much bigger, and better.

3) top lel.

4) Yeah, and now we have Peyton FUCKING Manning, Michael Phelps, Alexander Ovechkin (who is just way more personable than Crosby), Clayton Kershaw, Lebron, and Bubba Watson.

5) Enjoy carrying 50 pounds extra just in clothing.

6) Game of Thrones, House of Cards, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Dexter.

7) >not even listing the best films of the 90s

8) There's still good books being written, for example, Mo Meta Blues

9) That's the same fucking thing as today. What the fuck. Can you nostalgia goggle harder?

10) Stupid nostalgia goggles again. Fads from the 90s are just as bad as fads from the 1790s, 460s, 2000s, or any other fucking decade.

11) I'll take my phone that can stream music off the internet, and having access to millions of songs for free. Enjoy carrying a book of cassettes or CDs with you, fucking nerd.

12) Video games have only gotten better.

13) WHAT ABOUT THE END OF THE MAYAN CALENDER? WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW 90S BITCH?

hmm, not that I know of

I found out about these artists through RYM if that helps

Hello, I'm a bot! The movie you linked is called Le corbeau, here are some Trailers

Nigga I ain't smokin shit till I get through orientation at the McDonalds and start makin dat paper!

Okay, that is actually true. I just got hired there, and I'm spending the first hundo I earn on marihuana, but that isn't really relevant.

But if I remember ninth grade english correctly, there's two types of definitions for a word, definitive and the other one. Definitive is the shit you see in a dictionary, the literal meaning of the word. The other one, can't remember what it's called, is basically what the average person means when they say it, and this can anf often does differ from the definitive definition.

Like "chill" meaning to reduce the temperature of, yet often people mean relaxed. Shit like that.

Sorry if I ain't making sense, haven't slept in a few days, I start getting incoherent around this point. One time I wrote a whole novel in this state, and because the link is still in my clipboard, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2OxJGcFkm4rSlVrZ0JiQWdGX1E/edit?usp=sharing

Look at RYM's top charts of the year to get an idea:

https://rateyourmusic.com/charts/top/album/2007

https://rateyourmusic.com/charts/top/album/2008

But what I really recommend is:

Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam

Black Moth Super Rainbow - Dandelion Gum

Burial - Untrue

Flying Lotus - Los Angeles (For some reason I haven't listened to this yet. I should some time soon)

What

350+ tagged Industrial Metal bands on RYM since 2010.

i listened to a majority of this and this. vaporwave is pretty cool

Yes. Tapes are much more reliable for very long term storage. A typical HDD will only last about 3-5 years max, where tapes can last 10+.

http://www.storagecraft.com/blog/data-storage-lifespan/

Also, tapes haven't reached their maximum capacity yet, but it is estimated to be about 35TB. So for very extended offline storage, something like a medical record, it would be the best answer.

Sure, it can be like Scratch if that's appropriate. I don't personally happen to think much of Scratch, and I guess my colleagues didn't either, because we ended up going with Blockly for 1st-3rd graders.

3rd-8th graders can spell and some can type, so they get to write 'real' (meaning non-visual) code. Python is my go-to language for teaching young people currently; their parents appreciate it because it's used commercially (and they're not thinking far enough ahead to realize it might not be by the time their kid's 22) and the kids appreciate it because its syntax is simple and it's easy to write in a imperative style. I appreciate it because it supports many other styles once a programmer is experienced.

I've taught a few students of high-school age, but typically 9th-10th grade is when the US public education system kicks in with computer science courses, so the demand for that as a third-party service is significantly less.

Not at all tryna toot my own horn, but the mod I wrote for this purpose is publicly available if you'd like to try it. I'm sorry that documentation literally doesn't exist, but feel free to ask me Q's if you try it and get stuck!

it's not rreally all that fair to me either, but i accept it |:-(

mayb i'm too jaded and hard on everyone who's not modeling for slp and dior.

relevant >I never said I wouldn't / Throw my jacket in the mud for you / But my father gave it to me so / Maybe I should carry you

If you think it fails more often than it succeeds, then you need to listen to better producers.

But I do agree that lazy sampling bothers me. Blame Game is literally a ten second clip from an Aphex Twin song looped over and over again. I like sampling when it creates a whole new work of art, but in this case, it's pretty lazy.

To illustrate what I'm saying, compare the sample for Blame Game with the sample from Shook Ones Pt. II.

I agree with most of that, except durability. The fragile build of smartphones is definitely part of the planned obsolescence scheme. I'm pretty sure there's no technological reason why the entire front and back of the phones needs to be made of glass and the way Apple wants you to get it fixed is to send it to them (only $270 if you have one of the newer models!).

There is, it's name is Adobe Photoshop

Just kidding. I don't know of any defening generators but there is a free image editor similar to a scaled down photoshop called PIXLR that you can use

I guess the AT defeners don't want to know about those times when he sampled stuff.

Oh. Hi. Long time listener, first time caller here. This is actually my first time posting on reddit. Please be gentle.

there's this and this and their updated twitter, it's not much but something is definitely happening.

I'm Wide Awake It's Morning — Bright Eyes

All is Violent, All is Bright — God is an Astronaut

Late Registration — Kanye

Come On, Feel The Illinoise! — Sufjan Stevens

also, here's the RYM chart for 2005

Are you people hyped for <strong>Nothing But Black Metal November</strong>?

4x4

Jethro Thull - Got high and listend to Cross Eyed Mary on repeat. That sweet guitar + bass organ chorus riff. Holy Shit.

Liturgy - Some say they are the gayest band ever, but I really like them. Triple-H knows his harmonics.

Melvins - I somehow don't like them despite adoring EHG and Sludge in general. Maybe it's Buzzo's voice?

Shakey Graves - Shakey released a new album and is seemingly on his way to stardom. I knew him before he got cool so I get hipster points. The new albums lacks the lo-fi aestethic and the sincere intimacy of his earlier album. It feels just more streamlined and formulaic in it's songwriting. Don't go follow this road shakey :'(

Hurlevent - Stumbled upon the Quebecois fiddler "Joseph Allard" and found a cute little song called "Hommage a Joseph Allard" by Hurlevent which I listend to on repeat this week.

Sorry I couldn't do this 9 hours ago, but I just now got home. Long day at work. Slacker and Pandora stations for Outlaw Country.

Ok, I'll go through it for you:

We are talking about respecting the other side, and you said that Trump supporters were "idiots and selfish" I explained some of where Trump supporters are coming from and you seem to think that was some sort of tangent for some reason without realizing that was me trying to help you understand some of the base concerns of Trump supporters. I'm sorry if I've been confusing, but I've really been trying my best to help you understand the point that Sun Tzu posited in his book The Art of War

>"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."

Really what I'm trying to do is help you make better arguments. Calling people stupid and selfish is insulting and perpetuates feelings of contempt and disassociation between people who follow different political philosophies. What part of that was confusing or baffling?

Some associate racism with a belief in racial superiority or deliberate acts of discrimination. Casual racism concerns not so much a belief in the superiority of races but negative prejudice or stereotypes concerning race.

If you have some money to fork, there's a phone version

Also I'm pretty sure it had a PSP version.

I have two monitors bro. Installing Windows in a Virtual Machine on the other monitor. I have set it so that programs on my other monitors only appear on their selective taskbars like this.

Outkast - Bowtie

Not really defening, but the only example I could come up with that compares it to anything modern. Every other comment is about how great the song is.

So I think I lost.

It doesn't really examine the claims of the "electrosensitives" with any seriousness, and is way too sympathetic to the asshole lady who wants the whole town to adjust to her pretend-disease, but it's still interesting. I'm guessing most of the wackjobs aren't like her, and most of the natives are probably pretty chill about it. Most West Virginians don't seem to give a shit what you're like or what you get up to, as long as you don't ask them to change anything at all.

From the letter to the publisher.

&quot;Thank you for your letter. I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend by arisch. [...] But if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people.

[...] I cannot, however, forbear to comment that if impertinent and irrelevant inquiries of this sort are to become the rule in matters of literature, then the time is not far distant when a German name will no longer be a source of pride.&quot;

~~A few people have painted black squares before, but I think (hard to tell from the grainy photo) that this particular square was painted in 1915 by a Russian named Malevich. Nobody had ever done anything like it before and it really freaked out the snooty and authoritarian uppercrust of pre-Bolshevik Russian society (and then freaked out Stalin after that).~~

It's actually an Ad Reinhardt black square. He was an American minimalist and the sleek designs of our modern gadgetry owe a debt to the art movement he belonged to. So regardless, the point that context is key with art still stands.

Ya Nas when he was popular is when I was listening to new hiphop the most and he's the dude who I think was needlessly edgy and in a stupid way with all his nword shit.

I didn't think he was doing anything useful or good.

Oh, yeah, we're learning different things that are much more culturally useful. There's a bit in Feynman's autobiography Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! where Feynman is, if I remember correctly, taking part in a graduate-level biology class despite having no background in biology. He found it easy to catch up, and eventually realized it was because the biology class had been forced to memorize things that they could've just looked up- I think the example given was an organ map of a cat, or whatever you call it.

I have never approved of forcing rote memorization and labeling it knowledge.

>As far as work ethic goes, just look at this sub, or any sub for that matter, and you see kids and adults alike practically writing argumentative research papers based on their opinions of topics and finding the edges of their beliefs... for no obvious reward or requirement.

Does that really count as work, though? I'm lazy as fuck but I frequently type up reddit explanations of meaningless stuff, just because it interests me. I have always had difficulty in just being interested in something because someone says that I should be, and always did the minimum in my boring classes to focus on personal projects that I enjoyed.

I don't really have any useful data on early 1900s schools or anything like that, but anecdotal evidence has lead me to assume that there was more of a cultural focus on trying to learn as much as one could, instead of just trying to get good grades.

The tl;dr is that I think old schools forced students to do more work. This work wasn't necessarily better, and it didn't necessarily give the students a better education, but it did make them more prepared for doing further work. With increased standards of living, we don't need to grind out our education XP anywhere near as much. This can be generally detrimental to anything we wish to work on.

I am partial to these Korean exfoliating washcloths and use them all the time. This is a just a regular washcloth. I use these for my face when I run out of make up wipes.

The Taby Tapes by Nanook of the North.

It's probably not my true, heart-of-hearts favorite, but it is the first album that came to my mind when I saw your comment, and more people need to know about this album anyway.

I bought some new headphones yesterday and I can't fucking wait for whenever they are coming. What headphones do the resident patricians here use? I bought these
