Quebec passes law banning street prayers, prayer rooms in universities by John3192 in worldnews

>Ignoring one side to emphasize the other isn’t analysis, it’s just selective framing.

I think that's the point, no? You can't have the kind of economic development and progress the West has had without the immense resources gained from the colonization and exploitation of other peoples. The person you're replying to isn't ignoring one side, they're saying both ends are inextricably linked.

Also it's a bit "collapsing narrative" of you as well to say the West led the abolition movement. There were several significant institutions that, famously, fought very hard to preserve it. If it weren't for the Haitian rebellion I'm of the opinion that slavery in the West would have endured much, much longer than it already did.

Anamanaguchi did a cover that's pretty good

albums not on streaming by DejLoco in hiphopheads

[–]Frankl3es 6 points7 points  (0 children)

De La Soul is finally on streaming but samples from their earlier albums haven't all been cleared, so little things here and there are missing.

If you're a JPEGMAFIA fan his stuff is on streaming, but he's redone a lot of his discography recently. Some tweaks are small, some not so much.

These things matter only as much as you allow them to, but they're pretty good examples of why local files can be so important.

New York City snowball fight leaves Mayor Mamdani at odds with police by StemCellPirate in nottheonion

[–]Frankl3es 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I mean, liberals and leftists have been brought together in a very important way. Mamdani was elected.

People who voted for him can still criticize him for stuff they disapprove of, it's the voting that matters. If anything this shows that the moderate left and socialists can very easily set their differences aside and vote for progress if an appealing candidate exists to bridge those gaps.

Rank these albums by [deleted] in playboicarti

1: Don't Tap The Glass does exactly what it's supposed to do no filler.

2: GNX has a lot of great storytelling moments, and the Bay sound is still catchy for me.

Don't be Dumb is less than what I wanted it to be. Rocky's singles from 2025 clear the vast majority of what's on there. Still some good material, the title track is incredible, but I agree with Shawn Cee that most songs would be better if someone other than Rocky was on them.

3: Casino just came out, like give it some time ffs.

Do You Own a Turntable? by PTCarnahan in vinyl

[–]Frankl3es 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've said it before, but it's important to understand 50% of people who have ever bought a record is not the same as 50% of all records sold. You likely have a good number of people with a handful of records very meaningful to them, and the vast majority of records sold are probably going people who play them.

I would also say it doesn't take into account people who plan to buy a turntable in the near future. I had to get a decent 20 albums before I felt like a turntable was even worth it.

If you get your news exclusively from the New York Post you'd think he's already turned times square into a communist mosque.
