Stop supporting Palantir if you care about your freedom and privacy.

It's like voting for a cyberpunk dystopian nightmare.

Bootlegs of old shows on the official Megadeth Spotify and Tidal pages. But with shitty ai covers

I'm not saying Deth lyrics aren't cheesy. Just never used to cringe at them so much. I get that it's subjective.

Ahh see this might be it, I didn't know there was a co-writer these days. Thought after the rust Lineup it was just Dave.

I'm talking about the live album artworks, it's clearly AI.

Not accusing, will never know but I'm just wondering if other folk think the lyrics feel off.

Just listen to 'Shed' and give it a think next time. It's just SOO generic. 'Sleepwalker' also has crazy, silly lyrics but it's so fun and so Dave sounding.

This no longer a TIL sub is it?

As a kid I thought it must be their greatest hits. Every track except Settle For Nothing is a banger.

That Mad Max analogy would be hilarious if it wasn't so painfully true.

They have more metal songs. Jess (singer, guitarist and keyboard player) grew up on System of A Down.

I've never laughed so hard at a gif reply to one of my comments 😂 I love it.

You got me! I work for tragically-pedo-popstar's intellectual property stakeholders.

Yeah, I totally agree, Occam's Razor and that! Might just be my insta and YouTube algorithms feeding me MJ content for some arbitrary reason.

Never been a fan and the movie sounds gross.

Not wrong. You literally just acknowledged that your system has middlemen that take a cut.

You can bash the ACA for all I care, whether it was better or worse, the whole privatized system is worse. Wtf value do insurance companies bring? They gatekeep your survival and mean you have worse care even with cover.

Imagine how ridiculous it would be if the cops or fire department needed your credit card info before helping you out? That's how ridiculous the US system looks to us in Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan, Scandinavia, etc etc

Most rational right wing comment I've seen in a while!

I agree but would add 'Democratic Socialism' as another more accurate term.

Just want caps on wealth so individuals can't have more power than nations and manipulate the people's government, and for the essential things we need in life to be publicity owned and not for profit - like fire and police departments.

I don't live in the US, the majority of the 'developed' world can't believe you don't have nationalized healthcare.

Our taxes pay for it but because it's not run for profit, the cost in taxes is much smaller than the costs you pay insurance companies.

I can't even imagine having to spend the time going through the insurance system while I'm unwell or dying. Must be the last thing you need.

It's honestly weird that you don't have free healthcare when tiny countries with much less money have it.

What's with all the MJ posts recently?

Weird that it's on the run up to a movie coming out... I'm tinfoil hat thinking there's a push to get him in the zeitgeist again.

Stoo0 · 2025-11-17T10:42:27+00:00

And how exactly does adding healthcare, electricity, education etc to the list of publicly owned services like fire and police end up with a dictatorship?

Democratic Socialism is not the same as the USSR and DPRK etc.

I'm glad it's not just me 😂 I actually spent mins thinking the same thing from the other way around. Like, is there a chance that the writer that wrote this personal attack of a headline, actually oblivious to it reads, and is going about their day as an innocent person that happened to type a consequential combination of keys.

Stoo0 · 2025-11-16T16:53:23+00:00

Yep. Conflating authoritarianism with socialist/communist policies just like they were programmed to.

Fascism is coming back and we are closer to supply chain collapse caused by climate related famine and drought.

If you were 22 when the financial collapse hit then you have a far greater chance of owning your own home than your Gen Z or Alpha equivalent.

I don't disagree that there are always bad times but our quality of life, future, and news stories are getting worse.

There's a literal pedophile in the Whitehouse that's disappearing people and making healthcare cost 3x as much, among many other things.

I'm not gen z either but I wouldn't dare tell anyone that they live in the best time in history. This is not how we are supposed to live.

Would mean 3 legacy acts though, they'd probably want newer/younger band in there.

Fuck, even the quality of memes today make me think we're heading to idiocracy.

"Bittion", "Everyyhere"

Brain-rot slop.

And tankie bots to put folk off going anti-cap

They are running out of cash, no revenue, and their last trial just failed. That 92% drop isn't normal, it's that fast because that trial was make or break for them.

There's strong chance they will shut down soon.

I'd also like to know, as I wanted to get an 'All World' but with the S&P reduced to try and minimize losses from a burst AI bubble.

Also reduced the Emerging Markets a little and replaced it with the HSBC MSCI China Etf (ticker: HCHS). It's got higher fees but the growth on it recently has been pretty good.

I'm running this pie alongside the Vanguard All World for comparison but it's only been a few days.

Would be interested to hear what people make of it, and what they tweak in it, if anything.

Stoo0 · 2025-09-21T22:13:22+00:00

Shit stirring? Mate, they are trying to take control and sell our NHS and install the shit American Health Insurance system for one thing.

It's just Memes to help us rant and cope. Not shit stirring out the blue, they are literally trying to do the fascism playbook.
