I have been playing guitar so long I forgot how it is to grind for even basic, incremental musical progress
I have ~18 years with a significant chunk where I was dormant/minimal
I used to play for 10 hours a day
Obviously I can’t do that now but since coming back I’ve developed some mean finger licking skills, the ability to solo, and an intimate understanding of effects pedals
I forget, is the ruling that we’re supposed to wait for the lock post
Or can someone lead us forward, out of the darkness
There can never be dueling threads; to create one on your own would do nothing but create chaos and confusion and ultimately sully the sanctity of the chosen succession. Just ride it out until you start feeling the effects of the gatorade

Good on you for doing this but I would personally, when arranging my arguments, put the War on Drugs last after building up with juvenile records / criminal justice system, as TWOD naturally acts as an applied instance of how the crim system interacts with race, not to mention that for many laypeople the idea of the war on drugs being a racial thing immediately makes them skeptical. You need to build up to that hazy, nuanced idea with exposition and leading evidence
Also looking at criminal stuff is a great start but I want to see a reference the many studies about how black-sounding names get fewer job interviews after controlling for experience (e.g., https://www.nber.org/papers/w9873) if you want to take a broad survey of systemic structural issues
Also I want a full confessional of every time you participated in klan activities

Oo thanks! I did talk in depth about Devah Pager’s famous study but more data is better!
I honestly thought the war on drugs would be the easiest argument to make, hence why i led with it. Might be just my liberal bubble but i figured it was an easier sell compared to juvenile stuff, bail, police interactions, violent offenses etc
Please consider the environment before printing this post.
hmm se++ actually having an anime thread again kinda ruins the thrill of post 100 chat
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Oh, ok - I just wanted to highlight the systems that aren't police/crime/legal issues that black men face for perhaps like, optics reasons, particularly economic/labor discrimination, but labor is a soft spot for me
I don't know what the average white American's thoughts on TWOD's interconnectedness with blackness is, as accepted of a concept as it is amongst progressives and the black community, but regardless it's a rather reified and concrete policy to discuss whereas the other topics are more generalities that set the scene for why TWOD would be particularly impactful, but it's really a matter of rhetorical preference I suppose

@Sir Landshark That is a really well-written and well-researched and clear article. Thank you for taking the time to do it!

Who was in here being like "who even watches video essays"
Video essays are great
They occupy your: brain, eyes, and ears! This is optimal. If ears only I need something else to do with my hands and eyes.
It's like having a friend explain a subject they're passionate about to you, except instead of having to suddenly pull out all their arguments and go on 8 tangents to explain the thing your friend has somehow organized their information into discreet points, as well as providing visual aids and citing their sources. Some quality control is of course necessary. Just like how you should not be friends with lame people who have terrible opinions and just start shouting periodically, you should also not watch video essayists who do those things.
I didn't care about video essays at all until I saw HBomb's explanation of why Sherlock is bad (2hrs long) but now I love them. HBomb's video on Lovecraft is perhaps a better example though. I don't know anything about Lovecraft! But that video was very very interesting & accessible to me and I learned a lot of things which was cool!

I mean, I definitely have that problem but I decided to sing anyway
it's awkward putting my weakass voice next to someone like sniperguy who actually has pipes but I really like to sing so I figured what the hell
Mostly because I stopped listening to music
Yeah that’s a death knell
Part of why I’ve been listening to much metal is that it does thing I never thought to do/didn’t know how
If you’re not listening widely you definitely stagnate
this was dope af
Or can someone lead us forward, out of the darkness
i'm over a year into learning this sonata!
you'd think that's something canada would do, but no
It also runs kind of choppy on PC? Anyone else?

I loved the music from west world
Like all of it. The the first, and second, scenes to paint it black were probably the best tho
