Hendrix. Hendrix is the fosbury of music. Dude went off in his own direction in both technical and compositional terms, and a lot of people followed.
There’s solid points in the comments, but I feel like we’re talking about a single individual ignoring convention here, and there’s really only one answer in that context :)
I absolutely defy the implication that US credibility is in any way whatsoever reflected by trump… Even if he manages to get elected again, he’d still obviously not be representing all of the US…
It’s like saying all Canadians are super liberal because they elected Trudeau… People know better.
I’d go with “reputation”, but not credibility.
I vape in the shower every morning. I’ve also dropped it a bajillion times, including dropping it while on a motorcycle doing 60mph or so. Still works just fine :)
I believe in that quantity it’s spelled and pronounced “cheddah”…
Wildly untenable concept in modern society…
I’m sure it would work great in a video game or something, but In the real world, this shit goes crony AF guaranteed.
We don’t measure aptitude or ability in our society, we absolutely suck at it. A person’s ability is measured by what pedigree they purchased at degrees R us, or worse, by how articulate and verbose they were when typing a resume. Occasionally, ability is measured by how well someone likes a person even…
Competence is valued in a very select few enterprises. Trades, IT, and at higher echelons, math nerds… That’s about it…
Is it worse or better that I used someone else’s hand?
I’ve literally done every single one of these, so im thinking that’s true chaotic neutral on my part…
The Biden White House has also maintained the tariffs on Chinese products worth $370 billion imposed by predecessor Donald Trump.
That’s a hell of a sentence :) I guess we can agree on some things… Tarrifs on china, truly bipartisan…
Hey, I threw a few humorous bits in there… ;)
Soviet Union was big, included many states. Socialist economy imploded, Soviet Union became Soviet non-union. States declared sovereignty as independent countries (mass brexits, kinda?).
Russia, who used to be able to socialize assets from all the smaller countries, wants to be able to socialize the assets again, and as a bonus, is salty because some of those countries are hooking up with NATO, which is by and large a union of capitalism…
Instead of trying to create a union again, and getting others to join via diplomacy or negotiation, Russia is just trying to press its neighbors into joining the reformed union via military occupation, and hit a slight snag with Ukraine, because all this shit is a little too recent for Ukraine to have forgotten how shitty a lada is.
Yeah, it’s funny and nobody had mentioned it, so I did ;)
A couple quotes…
Be who you are and say what you mean, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.
God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
Both are difficult in terms of original source, but the best quotes usually are ;)
Point is, there’s three classes of problems. Most are type one - not my fucking problem.
Type two is what you’re talking about here, your problem, but you didn’t cause it. I’ve found that like 90% of these require serenity, because you can’t fix stupid… You kinda just gotta consider that until the light bulb comes on I guess? I’ve never had any issue with this one personally, it just always seemed self evident.
I’ve always struggled with type three, the things that are my problem and I caused them. That’s the shit I dwell on, because you can’t take it back, and sometimes, you can’t fix those either. You gotta swallow the pill on the fact that you did a stupid…
You weren’t the guy doing the stupid, ya know?
There’s no context to the question?
At face value, no, there’s no technical reason you can’t run a Plex server and a lemmy instance on one computer :)
I’ll object to their tequila, but everything else I’m totally on board :)
Word of the drawdown came ahead of a visit by Secretary of State Antony Blinken to the region and after the Biden administration bypassed Congress for the second time this month to approve an emergency weapons sale to Israel.
That weapons sale was a few hundred mil worth of artillery shells… I sincerely hope that and the draw back of troops aren’t actually related and it’s just happenstance that it got mentioned here.
Nice to mole you. Meet you. Nice to meet you mole.
Don’t say mole.
I said Mole.
Theres a very easy way to sort out the issue of bias that’s gonna be inherent in journalists reporting an alleged bias against journalists…
(From NPR)
Over a month into the war in the Gaza Strip, international news organizations have little, if any, access to Gaza. Israel, which is bombing Gaza in response to the deadly Hamas attack on its soil, controls access. And with the exception of brief tours with a limited number of reporters, Israel has not been granting journalists access to the region.
Address that and the answers will come…
Bomb the manger on Christmas…
Is isreal really that oblivious to world opinion and how it might affect them? Seems that way…
There were others who changed sports as well… Fosbury didn’t cause the Olympic committee to implement any bans, which is to say that others arguably attempted much larger changes…
He simply tried something way the hell off the beaten path and it caused people to think differently about how to go about doing their thing.
Jimi wasn’t even the only revolutionary influence in his time, you could argue chuck berry had more influence at the time, you could argue Charlie christian had more influence at sorta the same time, you could argue Zeppelin, Sabbath, the Beach boys…
Nobody came crashing into music from deep left field like Hendrix did though, just like nobody came into the Olympics from deep left field the way fosbury did (I’d argue for korbut, but nobody followed her lead due to pretty much everything she did getting banned).
I get what you mean and don’t disagree, but I did say I was speaking to a specific context ;)
