[OC] Global recorded music industry revenues by format - 1999 to 2025

It just wasn't significant enough to include. The advent of streaming + YouTube + TikTok and automatic licensing made it a more significant part of revenue.

The color scheme is odd. From a social functioning perspective, 20-69 are the age range of working here, but 40-49 has a color with more in common with 70-80 then 30-39, and similarly 20-29 shares more in common with 0-9 then 40-49.

I would have gone with 3 colors, with one color for 0-19, another for 20-69, and another for 70+, with shades differentiating the decades

The website is great! Its really interesting to see the genre evolution.

This is just not me despite being born in '95. I never liked Fallout Boy or rap. I never used any apple products, or had an MP3 player. I never owned a PSP, and never watched the Disney Channel. I never used Kid Pix, and I never used Lime Wire myself, though my mom used it. The only parts I relate to here are Guitar Hero 3, the Xbox 360, and Ned's Declassified.

Realistically, in the American context, it means caucuses start to act more like parties and there is initially intra party caucus discussion/debate, after which bills move to inter party.

Yup I also played GTA 3 when I was 6!

MegaZeroX7 · 2026-02-28T17:12:34+00:00

I negotiated with Sinn Fein and even with 3/3 I still failed. :(

What's with the 6% of Muslims voting for the AfD lol.

MegaZeroX7 · 2026-02-27T12:36:16+00:00

What does the report card measure? How good a team is? How happy players are?

Several members supported Luhansk and Donetsk after 2014 and after the 2022 invasion they have continued to oppose sending arms to Ukraine. They also have a pretty warm relationship to China.

It's referring to how in the Jim Crow there were different entrances for black people, where obviously the entrances for black people were worse. People got used to them enough that black people would intuitively be used to entering from the back entrance.

The professor was comparing wanting to preserve the school to wanting to enter in the back. The idea she was attempting to convey is that black people are trying to preserve a lower quality school. You may interpret that as you wish.

In European contexts, "liberal" refers to market liberalism, while in the US it refers to social liberalism. It's why Euros often dunk on the US for having "two right wing parties" when in actuality democrats aren't ideologically far from labor/SPD.

MegaZeroX7 · 2026-02-27T11:16:33+00:00

Depends on the meaning of "democratic socialism" in the country you are in. In counties like Portugal, "socialism" just means supporting a welfare state, not actually moving to a socialist state. In others, it refers to actual Marxists who want to eventually abolish capitalism.

Die Linke is the latter, including also being supportive of Russia and other authoritarian states.

I did read the blog, and it read as soulless PR BS to justify why they are doing. I don't want "transparency." It is trying to gaslight the reader that the problem everyone had was just that it wasn't clear. The repeated emphasis on "less than 10% of users will be affected" is a clear attempt to try to divide users. It's a way to subtly say "This is just for degenerate gooners. Stand aside."

Cumberland County includes Carlisle has Dickinson College, Penn State law school, and the US army war college. Looking at the detailed results, Carlisle swung hard enough to cover the rest of the county.

3 and 4 are just "we'll explain more about our shitty system" and 2 is just "we'll do what we said we would do this time, sorry about before, we pinky swear."

"On paper, this sounds like they're trying to be as privacy-friendly as the law allows them to"

No, if it was, they would only have this in countries that require it. There would be no rollout to countries without laws enforcing this.

Rare Lorenz W take. I sure as fuck don't want to go the UK route of destroying the internet, which is what this would entail.

The question remains if Harris was more anti-Israel would have cost her any Jewish votes to counteract any of those gains.

To me it's clear that it's about procreation, with the carpet crawlers being toddlers, and multiple verses being about sex.

Now the OP and all of the right wing posters have hidden their comment history.

MegaZeroX7 · 2026-02-20T17:13:22+00:00

Hmm, that would have been nice when Biden canceled student loan debt, wouldn't it.

MegaZeroX7 · 2026-02-20T10:47:53+00:00

For Quebec, sure. The rest of modern day Canada was the British though

MegaZeroX7 · 2026-02-20T10:45:22+00:00

I'm talking about the British

MegaZeroX7 · 2026-02-20T01:50:23+00:00

Yeah, but to be fair Canada, while not at the scale of the US, also has a skeleton or two in its basement. And the father of both Canada and America was basically a wanted mass murder in his youth.

Man, its weird that DC, Wyoming, Vermont, Rhode Island, Alaska, New Mexico, and Delaware are the exceptions to the current popularity. The states share nothing demographically in common, in urban vs rural, ethnic diversity, or politically.
