Yeah, and I tried Tenacity, and it doesn’t want to work at all. Guess I’m sticking with old Audacity.

Hmm. You are correct. On both my Windows and Linux machines, I am on Audacity 2.4.2. I’ve been using it for years, now. I never changed my sources, and it never stopped working. Haha!

Doesn’t sound like they actually went through with it?

They did not. I use Audacity regularly on more than one platform. It collects no data from me. It also hasn’t received an update in years, but still does exactly what it needs to do, and does it well.

That said, I hadn’t heard of Tenacity until this thread, and it looks like I shall be migrating over to that anyway. Better safe than sorry.

I understand. I throw obscene amounts of money at the cash black hole that is rent. I understand entirely how people think that people who make money simply by sitting on assets they own and otherwise provide nothing to society should be, ahem, obliterated. I just think it’s still possible to obliterate them with regulations instead of actual murder.

power doesn’t just fucking let you do whatever you want.

No, but power can be subverted. Maybe I’m hopelessly optimistic, but I think there’s still a non-violent solution.

Agreed! A good, campy action movie is great. The problem with Mission Impossible is that it otherwise took itself entirely seriously.

The first time I remember absolutely losing my suspension of disbelief was at the end of the first Mission Impossible reboot where Tom Cruise puts an explosive on a helicopter he’s hanging on the outside of that’s flying behind a train through a tunnel, and the explosion completely destroys the helicopter and flings him onto the back of the train. Yeah, that helicopter (which probably couldn’t be flying through a train tunnel to begin with) was made of far tougher material than Tom Cruise. Any explosion that destroyed it, would have turned him into a stain on the wall of the tunnel.

I get the violent rhetoric, I really do. But, at the same time, I can’t help but feel like more people would be more amenable to social reform that benefits the little guy to the mere detriment of the rich, rather than murdering them horribly. I could be wrong, but doesn’t history teach us that violent revolution more often just begets more violence than actually solves problems?

I like to include profanity in all my comments for spiciness.

You can’t absolve “us” of all the responsibility. We wouldn’t be in this situation if the masses weren’t so easy to manipulate into supporting corruption. The vast majority of us would take the quick-and-easy-yet-destructive path over the long-and-hard-productive one most of the time. Remove those 100-or-whatever by violent revolution tomorrow, and someone else will rise to the top of the stink heap the next day. Real change requires sacrifice at all levels of society.

Nope. Gotta wait for a sale. It’s hard though. Great game!

I’m creeping up on 50. I finished Elden Ring a little while back.

Ahh, but with a billion, you would be important enough.

I also have no clue whether Ethiopians need any rice

The Ethiopian famine was 30 years ago. Not that they haven’t had troubles off-and-on since then.

Sleep with pornstar. Excessive hush money. Boom!

It’s a real-life thing. Look at any comedic actor from the past fifty years, and then image search up a picture of their wife. The discrepancy in physical attractiveness is almost always glaring. Humor (and money) is attractive.

It’s 30 degrees and I live in a “miserable” humidity area. If I tried to run outside, I’d end up in the hospital. I walk to the gym anyway.

Who can afford more than one armload of groceries at a time anymore?

Getting Cicret Bracelet vibes from this one.

The numbers between zero and one are where all of the fun is!
