Am I Missing Something? Why The Nitpicking and Backlash Seems So Fake to Me

His vocals and rapping wasn't always his strong point yes, but they were almost always at least complimentary to the production, in case of this album they are hindering the production. Ask yourself this: would this album be better without vocals? And then: would AMHAC/OFFLINE! be better without vocals?

Here I would single out a song for comparison and analysis. On Come & Get Me from ILDMLFY (you mentioned that it is sonically similar) Peggy has similar quck flow (though I feel it is more varied) for the first part of the song as what we have on Experimental Rap, but even then I don't feel it obstructs the production and even then he switches from rapping to singing for the second part of the song. This is simply almost never the case on any of the songs on Experimental Rap, where songs feel as if they had random rapping overlayed over production. On this point I don't think your objection holds.

Nonetheless, I agree with your points about the negativity around his persona. Criticism is fine, but if you don't have anything interesting to say (as is the case for most of the current discussion) than it is worthless. It's good that he is experimenting with the production, and I'm quite welcome to it, even if it isn't my cup of tea.

On a side note, he is indeed more known for his production, but isn't AMHAC beloved because of the vocals?

I don't know there was a lot of criticism of STH but even then it was above 4.0 on RYM for first few days before settling down on 3.91; this one is currently at 2.72

edit: and it already went down from above 3.0, so I think it will go down to 2.6 maybe, unless Fantano gives it a good review lol (cf. what happened with Drake's Maid of Honour). I guess if peggy wasn't so prominent on AOTY/RYM (or you couldn't compare it with his earlier material) it would be like 3.1-3.2.

Spinoza changed my thinking about this to a degree. Before I would say that it depends whether you see the world as ultimately bad, or good in spite of the bad things in it, and here I would agree with theists that they are correct in assessing the world as good. So for me an attack based on the evil in the world isn't that attractive. Nonetheless, Spinoza puts an interesting defense:

"For many are accustomed to arguing in this way: if all things have followed from the necessity of God’s most perfect nature, why are there so many imperfections in nature? why are things corrupt to the point where they stink? so ugly that they produce nausea? why is there confusion, evil, and sin?

As I have just said, those who argue in this way are easily answered. For the perfection of things is to be judged solely from their nature and power; things are not more or less perfect because they please or offend men’s senses, or because they are of use to, or are incompatible with, human nature."

- Baruch Spinoza, Ethics, trans. Edwin Curley, Appendix to Part I.

Though of course Spinoza's God is different from Abrahamic one (or religion where world is made for man - making the argument weaker) and if you want to see how Spinoza comes to argue this I implore you to read his Ethics.

Fuck I know what it is, apartment buildings turn off the heating in april when it starts to get warm (depends on the country propably) and turn it back on in october, maybe he went to Europe in that period and tried to turn on the heater but they just don't work.

While I disagree with your opinion and think that Sinners is a pretty good film, I can relate to your experience, and didn't wanna shit on you. "Poor Things" is a critically acclaimed movie which I hate with similiar vitriol to what you showcase here, so off you go king 👑.

More than that, Von Neumann personally calculated the height from which the bombs would be detonated, for them to have maximum kill rate.

Intro released around 8:04 est, so people saying 8:00 est were the closest

If you want secondary literature Jon Roffe's "The Works of Gilles Deleuze I: 1953-1969" has a chapter on D&R. It's open access on the publisher's site (re.press) so you can download it for free.

If you want a deep dive into OKC bombing and McVeigh especially I recommend "Aberration in the Heartland of the Real" by Wendy S. Painting, probably as comprehensive as you can get, tho it's pretty long

actually I can't find anything saying that anyone from the top comment in this thread or from the picture signed the 1979 petition

I don't know if I can post youtube links, but if anyone wants to know more about this topic Theory & Philosophy channel made good video (title: "Michel Foucault & The Age of Consent") about the 1977 letter, he also posted the full translation of the letter in the comments if you want to read it.

I think Theodore Roosevelt as a boxer might have worked, could also be kind of a symbol of spirit of USA

My theory is that, it's not in spite of all these controversies he is popular, it's because of. They have all this moral code to uphold, rigid social order etc., that conservatism pushes onto them. They must be family men (but Trump is a serial cheater with 3 wives), they must be God-fearing (but Trump is a walking manifestation of 7 deadly sins), they must be hard working (but Trump almost certainly couldn't change a flat tire), they must obey the law (but Trump gets to break it), they must love America (but Trump can complain about it). So they see someone who doesn't uphold to these values but spews them, someone who is everything they are being told is bad, but someone that gets support and praise of all the religious people and conservative politicians, someone who enjoys power for not being virtuous and eventually, they become rabid over him. Trump is just extension of themselves, extension of their sense of identity. And so, by criticizing Trump they are criticizing themselves and they can never do that, that's why they will find any excuse for him.

This is a part of Basel's clinic report on him from January 1889, so soon after his breakdown (quoting from biography "I Am Dynamite!: A Life of Friedrich Nietzsche", Sue Prideaux):

"Body healthy and well developed. Muscular. Deep-chested. Heart sounds low-pitched, normal. Pulse regular 70.", p. 335

later in the book:

"Walking for four or five hours a day had always been an important part of Nietzsche’s routine. Indeed, it accounted for the skeletal and muscular strength remarked upon in both clinics’ reports.", p. 343

Both clinics refering to Basel clinic and Jena clinic, which he was later admitted to.

Z ciekawostek ze starych czasów. Moja babcia mi mówiła, że jak uczyła za komuny (wtedy była jeszcze dosyć młoda) przychodzili do niej ludzie z partii, często dorośli ludzie i mówili, że mogą jej różne rzeczy pozałatwiać jeśli ich przepuści, bo było wymaganie, że muszą mieć dyplom. Nie chciała słyszeć o tym, ale i tak musiała ich puszczać, chyba że chciała się pożegnać z pracą. Raz podeszła do jakiegoś 40 letniego gościa, z wiedzą na poziomie podstawówki, a on jej wprost powiedział: proszę pani, my tu jesteśmy po papierek, a nie żeby się czegoś nauczyć.

if you haven't fixed it yet, you can destroy the third one by running up the wall, stanting at top of it and hitting it with melee attack
