  • Wow that’s sick! Would love to fix that next to all the other automated download systems I have, but I now have money and I want to support the artists. Maybe still a good idea for the impossible to get music which isn’t sold anywhere. Like tekno. Thanks! I’ll look into soularr. I know soulseek, but last time I tried it, it fucked up my internet connection settings somehow. Really weird. I wanted to try it again, after not using it for… 15 years now? But yeah, all internet access was blocked when I opened slsk. Also the music I have to share is old. And back then the quality was poor. I have a 2TB music collection but I think 3/4 of it is poor quality mp3’s.






  • Haha yeah, mine manage to steal a bit of cheese sometimes when I have a platter. They start to growl when they have something so I know when I didn’t pay attention enough. Then the hunt starts: them with cheese dangling from their mouth, me running after them like an idiot. I have 3 one and a half year olds, full in their puberty. They are cute assholes and I love them very much!


  • It contains too much sugar and salt, maybe milk, this is really bad for them. Cats are lactose intolerant carnivores, please don’t feed them anything they shouldn’t eat. Especially their kidneys are very sensitive and are often the cause of them dying in the end. So don’t feed them salty stuff and make sure there’s fresh water everywhere around the house. They eat grass so they can puke up hair, as plant based stuff they can not digest. So don’t feed them veggies but make sure there’s grass available. Especially prepared veggies with herbs and salt are really bad. It’s important to feed cats a proper healthy diet, preventing them from getting obese with proper portions. This way they will have an increased chance of a long and healthy life! I used to be ok with them getting something here and there, but my vet was very clear I shouldn’t do that.

    Cute cat though :)






  • Hey! Verdomme, how dare you talk that way about our Max! Our pride and glory!

    (you’re 100% completely right though)

    To get into racing you either need to have the connection (generally family) or a shit load of money.

    It’s the same with the Dutch navy. If you have the right family name but are dumb AF you are destined for a good career. Same goes for blonde and big breasts. If you’re intelligent and good at your job but lack the influence, family name and/or ass licking skills you’re doomed to fail.


  • Back in the day, the losing football (called soccer by stupid) team would lose their heads. Now they earn millions (the men only though), that’s not what sports should be about. Men have an unfair salary advantage over women. I think losing their heads would be a better motivation for a proper game.



  • Fine, I’ll elaborate:

    You create a post in which you mark a list of sub genres as garbage and claim metalheads are dumb people, based on your own musical taste.

    Claiming you are smarter because your taste in something is different than others is dumb and ignorant. Making fun of others for their taste is tasteless, childish and sad.

    Whether or not you like metal, it can be well structured, musically complex and have highly political statements and well made lyrics. It had been an inspiration for many other musical genres. I wouldn’t call that garbage and I wouldn’t call the people listening to that stupid. It’s not my favorite genre but I don’t think I’m better because of that. I understand music and can recognize quality in music, even when it’s not my preference.




  • I wasn’t there during those attacks, I left service a while ago, I wa only there because of the Somali pirates.

    Things aren’t black and white. There are no good sides, only different grades of bad when it comes to armed conflict in the middle east. People are driven to extremism due to oppression, hunger, misery, etc and become bad themselves by disbanding human dignity. Who is to blame?

    I know I do not stand for fighting pirates in Somalia. Although I got PTSD due to what I saw them doing, which head horrible. The whole situation is fucked up, it’s not onto me to judge or intervene. We as the west are partially responsible, I don’t see fighting the problems we created with violence as a solution, only as fighting symptoms without focusing on the cause.

    The Houthis attacks are also a product of a greater problem. Yemen is a giant mess for many years with countless victims. We don’t care so just leave everyone to deal with it themselves. We only start to care when it harms our trade routes. And we don’t help Yemen and it’s people to solve their war, we fight a symptom so our trade routes are secure.

    It’s the dame with piracy in general. There’s piracy all over the world. The Somali pirates are mild compared to others, like on the African west coast or near Indonesia. But we only care about piracy when it harms us, like our trade routes.

    You become super rich at a cost. Not by honesty. There are always others who suffer. We, the rich west (EU, Brittain, US, but also Russia, India, China etc.) enjoy enormous amounts of luxury, but developing countries are paying the cost for that.

    We claim we have morals and are more civilized than others. We condemn Russia for their war crimes everywhere for example. Yet we show we are just as bad by supporting the worst war crimes of this century (by far) by continuing to support Israel.

    I rolled into service due to a financial crisis and my own issues (autism, never recognized so never finished school, kicked out by my parents, nearly ended up on the streets because I couldn’t get work, so I enlisted) and becasue I couldn’t handle change that well (autism) I stayed and supported a system I oppose.

    I now know better and fight for human rights, against mega corps, for LGBTQAI+ rights, against fascism, racism, nazism and against fake news and propaganda (and anything that goes against my believes). It kills me, as I feel helpless but doing nothing kills me even more.


  • Being a pirate means taking from assholes who do not deserve it. If you take from anyone you’re an asshole yourself.

    I pirate AAA games because they do not deserve my money, as the poor gameplay vallue doesn’t exceed 2 hours. I pay for indie games because they deliver, it’s worth my money.

    I used to be in the navy, went on deployment to Somalia several times to hunt pirates. I deeply regret it. Because althoug they have no choice and do what they do because of what us western countries did to them, they do horrible things to others who do not deserve it. But in the end we as a rich western society are the cause for their despair. So we are responsible for what they are forced to do to others. I ended up with PTSD.

    You can be a pirate with principles. Especially when mega corps and billionaires are forcing society into submission, forcing people to work to just to survive and/or force people to be someone they are not.

    Fight the oppression. Piracy isn’t a crime, it’s symptom of a crime. Also, these days you do not own the media you purchase. It’s not theft when you steal something which you cannot own it when you purchase it.
