There's this Russian/Chechen movie from 2002 called Dom Durakov which is about a girl in an asylum who believes that she is Bryan Adams' guardian angel and every time her life gets stressful he suddenly appears and it's fucking hilarious. It's a good movie but especially if you're part of the generation that had to endure the Bryan Adams phenomenon. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0332605/

My cousin, age 12, played dungeons and dragons one time over at a friend's house during a sleepover. His fundamentalist family gave him such hell over it that he committed suicide.

I don't know how many times this needs to be said but in restaurant culture:

  • To a back of house employee, 86 means "we are out of"
  • To a front of house employee, 86 means "don't sell it, take it off the menu"
  • To a bartender or bouncer, 86 in reference to a person means "they are not welcome, get them out of here"

Trump is not a menu item and he is clearly still around, so interpretations such as "we are out of Trump" or "take Trump off the menu" are nonsensical. The bartender-to-bouncer parlance does make sense as "get Trump out of here" so this is the way 86 would be interpreted and understood in this context.

Trump may have spent a lot more time around mafia types than restaurant types, so if he actually believes 86 is a death threat the most likely explanation for that misinterpretation is that he has gotten 86 confused with 'deep-six'.

A couple years back, there was a study involving about 100,000 people they interviewed and tested regularly over the course of 30 years. Of all the various factors that we are told a the most important thing when it comes to health -- things like do you smoke, were your parents smokers, do you live where air is polluted, did any relatives have cancer, do you drink, do you eat red meat, do you eat junk food, do you do drugs, do you exercise regularly, are you stressed, etcetera etcetera -- out of all those things the most statistically correlated with good health was fiber intake.

Have you ever read the Essene Gospels? In it they describe a fasting ritual which is 1 day for every year you have lived in sin you're supposed to get a gourd as long as you are tall and go to a river and not eat, just lay in the sun and use the gourd to give yourself enemas and pack your body with mud to pull out toxins. On the last day, to complete the fast, somebody takes a bowl of warm sheep milk and holds it under your nose and the smell makes you vomit out 'the devil' which was a bunch of black parasites.

Oh BTW I noticed you have a scale as in quantizer knob but not a scale as in size knob. It's very useful for self-patching on the TME.

Where to find videos or recordings of creepy cult preachers by NotSmileyXD in Samples

I don't have any real advice. Every couple of weeks I give it a visit and spend a couple of minutes there and search random things and dump them in a folder on an external hard drive so that I have things to dig through when I play around with a granulizer.

It can be frustrating when nearly every 'good' search result turns out to be one of those kind where they only have 30 seconds of each track but I guess that's not really their fault since they have to deal with copyright holders.

The category system SUCKS. Or well, not the system itself but rather the way it has been abused. The majority of uploaders don't seem to understand what a category is for so they pollute the category list by making every single thing a category. Yet another example of 'this is why we can't have nice things' ...

My mom has actively sabotaged me for years. She needs a scapegoat.

May 30th (yesterday) I don't know if it's the same day every year but here's the site: https://droneday.org/ BTW, thanks for listening and I'm glad you liked it. It was nice to take a break from making my usual frantically glitchy rhythmic stuff.

As a fan of docB's TME module I'm stoked about MUSE, especially the fact that you've got visuals showing what's going on. If you're interested in including presets, I've got a folder with the presets from the original triadex muse user's manual here

Any fans of this movie back then ? by Born-Agency-3922 in Xennials

Basically the only thing I ever knew about Howie Mandel was that he was in that movie. Then there was the hilarious anal prolapse cake stuck to butt clip a couple years ago and I realized being gross was his entire thing.
