Yes, and it's kinda worrying to me you have to ask. But there are absolutely places where you don't live in the fear the next person is trying to fuck you over or harm you
Recently re-listening to ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADASS by Joey Bada$$, from 2017. I want to share the last verse of AMERIKKKAN IDOL here, it's even more bitterly accurate than it was back then.
What the government is doin' amongst our people is downright evil
Disturbin', but not surprisin', that's for certain
With all of the conflict of propaganda, I believe they are simply tryna slander
Start a Civil War within the USA amongst black and white, and those alike
They are simply pushin' us to our limit, so that we can all get together and get with it
They want us to rebel, so that it makes easier for them to kill us and put us in jails
Alton Sterlings are happenin' every day in this country and around the world
The scary part, boys and girls
Is most of these stories don't make it to the news and reach mass consciousness
It is for sure time that we as a people stand up for acknowledgement
And accomplishment, of what we call human rights
It is time to rebel, better yet, raise hell
I just want everyone to be cautious about how they go about it
Because this is all part of the government's plan and what they been plottin'
They're literally beggin' for this to happen, so they can kill us off
Usin' uprisin' and rebellion as the excuse in a timely fashion
The cancerous foods, the chemical warfare, economic sufferin' is not workin' fast enough
There are many steps ahead of us and manifestin' the future that they want
We have to work together, not only rattlin' them on a physical plane
But to outsmart them on an intellectual mental level the same
As black men, I think our gangs need to do a better job
At protecting us, the people, our communities
And not assistin' in destroyin' them brutally
It's time to even the score
'Cause who do we call when the police break the law?
We are so quick to pick up a gun and kill one another
But not quick enough to pick it up and protect each other
The code words to killin' a black man by police is, "He's got a gun"
Damned if he do, damned if he don't, damned if he runs
Or what about them? Them murderers got it
We need solutions, you better start plottin' now
It's always been clear that they don't value our lives
My people been sufferin' way too long
And I'm tired of singin' the same old song
People actin' like this shit isn't happenin', it's downright wrong
Justice won't be served by a hashtag, and that's the very reason I ask that
What are we to do? We're scattered around
With no clue of this ugly truth
All we know is who they ridiculed and who gets minisculed
Time to wake the fuck up and do our own research
And not form opinions based on just what we've heard
Ameri-K-K-K-a is force feedin' you lies down your throats with a silver spoon
Just imagine how all of this will read in the history books.
Also, let's recontextualize how much money $10 billion is, because written like that it just feels like "yeah big number idk"
If you started spending $100k every day, which is a decent amount of money to spend in a day, starting right now, how long would it take you to reach $10B? Take a second, guesstimate in your head.
274 years. At a full $1M per day, that's still 27.4 years to reach $10,000,000,000
Thanks for the tip, I didn't know of it, but if I'm not mistaken it doesn't load LV2/VST3 natively? If I have my Carla session open it shows the plugins, but I can't open their UIs, and I don't see a way to add them if it's not loaded. Plus it's a JACK client, not Pipewire from what I can tell. So neat tool but not a 1:1 replacement :) I also don't think automatic connections would work for me as some of my patches have sidechains.
My biggest gripe with Carla was indeed that it holds the internal connections between plugins but doesn't autoconnect applications, so whenever you change patches or pause your streaming client for more than 15s you need to tell it to connect again. So my current setup is one big "master patch" with several chains inside, that end in a 4-channel A/B switcher I use to change between the headphone and speaker chains for example, plus a simple bash script that loops forever (sleeping if everything is ok) and does some pw-link calls. It ended up being a lot less janky than I was expecting tbh :D (happy to share if anyone is interested)
pipewire + Carla + LSP = easy, powerful DSP for both your inputs and outputs. Just a multiband compressor and parametric EQ do wonders for headphones and speakers
What the fuck is happening to journalism? What is "reportedly says" supposed to mean? Did he say that and you are reporting on it, or did it come to you in a dream?
It's been on a steady decline for at least 5 years now imo, ever since they introduced "fuel efficient paths" it kept choosing small roads with lots of stopping and starting at intersections instead of the bigger roadways where you can hold a constant speed.. how that is more fuel efficient beats me
