Business Idiot Supremacy by Ed Zitron h/t @pluralistic

These people arenโt challenged by the media, or their employees, because their employees are vulnerable all the time, and often encouraged to buy into whatever bullshit is du jour like hostages being held by a terrorist group that eventually fall victim to Stockholm syndrome.

Lyrics:
Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry, be happy)
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry, be happy)
Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
(Look at me I'm happy)
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be Happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me, I make you happy
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
But don't worry, be happy
'Cause when you worry your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Don't worry, be happy
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Don't worry, be happy
Now there, is this song I wrote
I hope you learned it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy, be happy now
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Don't worry, be happy
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh

Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
(Put a smile on your face, don't bring everybody down)
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(It will soon pass, whatever it is)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Don't worry, be happy
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
I'm not worried, I'm happy

Isaiah 63
(This is about you.
The beginning of the passage is an event that has not yet occurred.
The rest is about a condition that has been since antiquity and remains to this day and will not conclude until the beginning piece has occurred.
In the middle is a proclamation of the then-coming salvation that the Christ would deliver to all Israelites--and completed doing so.)
[Part 1 of 2. Part 2 in comments.]
`Who [is] this coming from Edom? With dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is honourable in his clothing, Travelling in the abundance of his power?' -- `I, speaking in righteousness, mighty to save.'
2 `Wherefore [is] thy clothing red? And thy garments as treading in a wine fat?'
3 -- `A wine-press I have trodden by myself, And of the peoples there is no one with me, And I tread them in mine anger, And I trample them in my fury, Sprinkled is their strength on my garments, And all my clothing I have polluted.
4 For the day of vengeance [is] in my heart, And the year of my redeemed hath come.
>Revelation 19
>11 And I saw the heaven having been opened, and lo, a white horse, and he who is sitting upon it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness doth he judge and war,
>12 and his eyes [are] as a flame of fire, and upon his head [are] many diadems -- having a name written that no one hath known, except himself,
>13 and ***he is arrayed with a garment covered with blood,*** and his name is called, The Word of God.
5 And I look attentively, and there is none helping, And I am astonished that there is none supporting, And give salvation to me doth mine own arm. And my wrath -- it hath supported me.
6 And I tread down peoples in mine anger, And I make them drunk in my fury, And I bring down to earth their strength.
7 The kind acts of Yahweh I make mention of, The praises of Yahweh, According to all that Yahweh hath done for us, And the abundance of the goodness to the house of Israel, That He hath done for them, According to His mercies, And according to the abundance of His kind acts.
>The House of Israel. You. Your brother nations. Not non-Israelites invited in long ago--with which came punishment, having them rise to be priests and governmental leaders. Christ gathered Israelites away from them. Today those non-Israelites that were living and ruling are called jews, holding dearly to their false title, false covenant, and false entitlement, exactly as real as blacks claiming they're Egyptian. They are "those who say they are jews and are not, but do lie."
>You are of the Israelites. God kept His promise and made us many nations. And He kept true to His warning. He scattered Israelites out of the land through centuries, through the Assyrians and the Babylonians, into Europe and North Africa and eastern Asia and eventually North America, making us more numerous despite disobedience.
8 And He saith, Only My people they [are], Sons -- they lie not, and He is to them for a saviour.
9 In all their distress [He is] no adversary, And the messenger of His presence saved them, In His love and in His pity He redeemed them, And He doth lift them up, And beareth them all the days of old.
>God saved us--and not nons.
>All Israelites--the vast majority in antiquity being descendants who had bled off and become other nations--had still been married to God, bound through a law they'd never known.
>God was "like a husband" to the unfaithful Bride (the vowed nation-state). The Bride was adulterous. Adultery is punishable by death according to the vow / the law.
>Romans 7
>Are ye ignorant, brethren -- for to those knowing law I speak -- that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth?
>2 for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and ***if the husband may die***, she hath been free from the law of the husband;
>3 so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall be called if she may become another man's; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man's.
>4 So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law ***through the body of the Christ*** [...]
>This is why it was necessary and sufficient that Christ died for our salvation. He is Yahweh incarnate. He was the Husband.

Today's experiment.. trying the white noise trick to create custom IRs from one of my favourite speakers!
This is a small thread
#musictech #recording #guitar #DAW #impulseresponse #thread #video #studio #homestudio #metal
I tried to set up with the reamper box but cant find the right cables. I was going to use the media player into it but its XLR in only on this reamper. So I had to figure out another solution.
Then I remembered my Ditto looper lets me drop sounds into it. I'm pretty experienced with mic placement now after 30 years of doing this LOL, so dropped the 2 samples click into it via USB. And this actually worked out better than reamping/excess cabling....
OK.I relented and bought an official SM57 for my Birthday. It arrived today after a small wait. So maybe I'll do some IRs with this too, or find a mixer and multi mic.
All stuff I can try in the future.
I'm using the Hempback here but have a Ruby and a Black Gold to try later too... plus the micro practice amps.
I tend to focus the mic close on the edge of the dust cap, but have also done a couple at 45 degrees towards the same position.
I realised my radiator in my room is creating a kind of slap-back reverberation too. My solution is to place a fleece over it and this seems to have made the file size smaller by 3-400 samples.
Typically I'm getting 700ish samples length of sound from the 2 samples source.
Had a quick test in Ableton with an IR loader. I've only created 6 IRs so far but they all work. Typical Hempback dark and thick sounds. Almost vintage guitar record sounds too.
Feeling pleased with myself..
....now to create more!
@benda yeah wondering if I could effectively pay to use one for a day or two and have someone come and pick it back up
Cheeky way to get another load of IRs ๐คญ

album: "Recovery" (2010)
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?
Well, that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?
Well, that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now, there's a steel knife in my windpipe
I can't breathe, but I still fight while I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right, it's like I'm in flight
High off of love, drunk from my hate
It's like I'm huffing paint, and I love her the more I suffer, I suffocate
And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me
She fuckin' hates me, and I love it
"Wait! Where you going?" "I'm leaving you"
"No, you ain't, come back"
We're running right back, here we go again
It's so insane 'cause when it's going good, it's going great
I'm Superman with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane
But when it's bad, it's awful
I feel so ashamed, I snapped, "Who's that dude?"
I don't even know his name
I laid hands on her, I'll never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?
Well, that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?
Well, that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
You ever loved somebody so much
You can barely breathe when you're with 'em?
You meet and neither one of you even know what hit 'em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling, yeah, them chills, used to get 'em
Now you're getting fuckin' sick of looking at 'em
You swore you'd never hit 'em, never do nothing to hurt 'em
Now you're in each other's face, spewin' venom in your words when you spit 'em
You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, bit 'em
Throw 'em down, pin 'em
So lost in the moments when you're in 'em
It's the rage that took over, it controls you both
So they say, yeah, best to go your separate ways
Guess that they don't know you 'cause today, that was yesterday
Yesterday is over, it's a different day
Sound like broken records playin' over, but you promised her
Next time, you'll show restraint
You don't get another chance
Life is no Nintendo game, but you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave out the window
Guess that's why they call it windowpane
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?
Well, that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?
Well, that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Now I know we said things, did things that we didn't mean
And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
But your temper's just as bad as mine is
You're the same as me, when it comes to love, you're just as blinded
Baby, please come back, it wasn't you, baby, it was me
Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is I love you too much to walk away, though
Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk?
Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the drywall
"Next time? There will be no next time"
I apologize, even though I know it's lies
I'm tired of the games, I just want her back
I know I'm a liar, if she ever tries to fucking leave again
I'ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?
Well, that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?
Well, that's alright, because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

I used to work with a lady who would always take an interest in my music. Sheโd ask how our jam sessions went and if Iโd recorded anything new. But, anytime I had something new, sheโd listen to it through, and then tell me that itโs โnot her kind of musicโ.
It always bemused me that she would take such an interest if she didnโt like what I was making. โจ
I decided to write her a song that she would enjoy.
โจMusic was being streamed at work all the time, so I knew what sort of songs she was into. Classic Rock. Australian Pub Rock in particular. She was a single mum in her 50โs, a strong, hard woman, an Aussie battler.
โจI wrote Proud Woman in a weekend, and recorded it at home. A mate I regularly jam with did the vocals and when it was done, I uploaded it and shared it with her when I got to work.
She liked it.
โจThe experience taught me the value of an audience of one. The focus on writing a song for one person, with the aim that they - that person in particular - enjoys it, gave me a different perspective on the whole creative process.
Please enjoy my song:
Proud Woman

Your story doves tales into another one I read about band (think it was REM) . Not so much about writing for one person but still writing with someone else in mind can influence positively. They said live shows, even poorly attended ones, gave them real time feedback on how songs was working to improve them over time.
I relate to this so much.
Iโve been an independent musician for 30+ years, and I have written many songs for one person numerous times.
I feel that because Iโve come across and known so many special people in my life, that:
A. They deserve to feel special
B. Itโs important to me to let them know how inspirational and supportive theyโve been for me.
One of these songs, for a Russian bartender friend of mine, was included on this collection
4 Non Blondes' "What's Up" is an empowering rock anthem that resonates with themes of frustration and self-discovery. Released in 1992, the song features powerful vocals from Linda Perry and a catchy chorus that has made it a timeless classic. Its relatable lyrics and energetic sound continue to inspire listeners, solidifying its place in 90s music history.
Lyrics:
25 years of my life and still
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I, I am feeling... a little peculiar.
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say:
Hey yeah yeaaah!
Hey yeah yeah.
I said hey
What's going on?
And I say:
Hey yeah yeaaah!
Hey yeah yeah.
I said hey
What's going on?
Uhh, uh, uhuhuh uhuhuh
Uhh, uh, uhuhuh uhuhuh
And I try
Oh my God do I try
I try all the time

John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" is a beloved folk-country classic that evokes a sense of nostalgia and longing for home. Released in 1971, the song features heartfelt lyrics and a memorable melody, capturing the beauty of rural life and the comfort of familiar places. Its enduring popularity has made it an anthem for many, celebrating the spirit of the countryside.
Lyrics:
Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
Everybody singingโฆ
Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads
All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads.

Or connect from an account in another instance (or directly from an account in .ml).

in reply to lambalicious • • •Their issue isn't with the geographic location the server is hosted in
They are talking about the unreconcialable differences between authoritarianists and leftist
.ml excuses dictatorships and genocide for "the cause", despite their cause being the continuation of fascist dictatorships.

It's the authoritarianism, the dick sucking of dictators.
That's why people differentiate between communists and tankies.

in reply to AbnormalHumanBeing • • •I am fucking impressed. Even something as neutral as an announcement of an AMA hosted by a small group of FOSS developers on the flagship instance of the third most popular fedi platform is also overriden by this obsession to turn the fediverse into a turf war.
There is only one side of this massive waste of time of an argument that is obsessed with suppressing differing points of view, and it's not "tankies". There are way too many meta threads where users from 2 or 3 instances act like rabid monkeys slinging shit at everything if so much as someone has casually mentioned Marx in their general direction at some point in history. Even if a thread is not meant to be meta, there is a high % chance that the discussion has devolved into this. Some users really cannot think or discuss anything else. But because they override entire discussions, sometimes blocking them just leaves threads empty (see, for example, the present thread). At this point it's pathetic, and makes me want to stop using Lemmy altogether.
It is also even more frustrating having seen the "lemmy.ml is a tankie instance" campaign be fabricated in real time the exact moment .world defeded grad because, otherwise, how are we going to pretend we are being censored and manipulated by a nebulous communist authority at the point of the 21st century where liberalism has openly turned to fascism across the entire Global North?
Idk, if I were some "red-fash" dictator wannabe making a website, I wouldn't consider it a very good idea to make it open and federated to anyone who wants it no questions asked, and then letting the flagship instance federate with other instances that openly justify US-backed genocides and have included it in their rules that even implying sympathy towards genocided people will get you banned. Oh well, then you will pull some "whatabout" concern trolling involving the Uyghur people that you will literally not mention anywhere else other than to justify this pointless goal.
I'm sorry my comment is not on topic. I don't care particularly about Framasoft other than respecting the work they do. No other comment in this thread, as of the time of writing, is on topic either, as y'all can't stop obsessing about this turf war.

in reply to Karu ๐ฒ • • •Tankies thinking they own and dominate the fediverse isn't a "turf war"
It's ideological incompatibility with the actual userbase.
Fuck .ml and their dictator worshipping troll farm behavior.
A lot of people would be interested in participating in the AmA, but .ml had to ruin their own instance, so now people don't want to use their space.

I didn't think about this, but they're a French company, so maybe they could do it on the French instance? But I don't think it matters much
