F1-3 I just hear incoherent yelling crowds, and then it gets more distant by F2, and by F3 is getting more muffled and fading out...

New Boards of Canada, in this economy?

Once a song is like ~15 years old I swear you could use the YouTube comments on that song as an antidepressant

You're right there, but take something like the homeland system and suddenly there are loads of similarities you *can* imagine. These don't make what you're saying here less true, and what you're saying here doesn't make any other comparisons less true.

Yes, I do know what the act is as I'm born to parents who were directly legally affected by those laws.

That seems like a very unfeeling thing to ask like that, I'm quite taken aback.

You should just take a step back and talk to some SAns who lived under Apartheid, especially those who have lived in or spent time in Israel, about their views on the one system being "nothing like" the other. Based on what you're saying I think you'd be surprised.

No shit, so does the person who says Israel is 'nothing like' apartheid South Africa.

You've got parallels for the religious ethnostate, the population registration act, the group areas act, the morality act, all core to the Apartheid project.

'Nothing like' is simply untrue

Come on, enlighten us. You really don't come across as if you have a good understanding of South Africa's views on Apartheid, or Israel, when you're going on like this.

"Lines"
"Lines within lines interlinked"
"How does it feel to reject the PR of someone you love?"

At this point, South African radio's relationship with 'How Deep is your Love' is pathological

only if it's on the blockchain

Very cool how immediately familiar this local colour palette was to me!

Listening to new work from Flying Lotus eithe gets me right away, or takes a few years to sink in.

Let's just say this one might have fully sunk in before I've even completed my first listen #NowPlaying

Oh, but you're forgetting how much fun shaving a yak could be!

You're right! I'm just slow. Thanks 🙏🏾

I'm sure 😂 I'll have to check it out next time I'm in town, maybe even grab myself an 'odd melon' since they're clearly vegan!

Before I even read the caption I was going to say of course the Spar that stocks Ostrich eggs has them in the vegetables section

Maybe a silly question, but would there be a possibility of running the browser plugin unauthenticated? I'm not sure how XRPC queries would work (presuming higher rate limits for unauthenticated accounts?)

But I love the idea of having margin in my work laptop without logging in

An excerpt from Bertrand Russel's Problems of Philosophy: Here we have already the beginning of one of the distinctions that cause most trouble in philosophy—the distinction between 'appearance' and 'reality', between what things seem to be and what they are. The painter wants to know what things seem to be, the practical man and the philosopher want to know what they are; but the philosopher's wish to know this is stronger than the practical man's, and is more troubled by knowledge as to the difficulties of answering the question.

Reading Bertrand Russel's The Problems of Philosophy to my partner as a bedtime story last night and she said "Is it really the philosopher who is troubled or is that just Russel?"

I think it's because we're still in a cultural and economic whiplash from 2020

Cambrian explosion currently happening in the Atmosphere

Private data was the first thing I looked for. It feels like a pretty big gap in the atmosphere in general now it's grown to the point that something like @aetheros.computer even exists

working with wordpress again is reminding me why I learned to code in the first place

Such a lovely idea for a jam too, I've wanted to do something like this for years and this is great inspo 🙌🏾

Ah it's beautiful there! I stayed in a house there once that was basically a mirror image of the one in your video, indoor braai and all. With that, and such a recognisable coastline I had to ask!

Gorgeous, is that Gaansbaai?

I think a lot of Capetonians would disagree with you there! 😂

Cape Town has no mercy today, and I live in one of the cooler parts of the city. No four-seasons-in-a-day today, it's just the one!
