  • 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.



  • 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.





  • Example of the difference between Italians and the Dutch when it comes to coffee:

    Schiphol airport: a “coffee” is 7,90, is basically water with a slight coffee taste. Not regular Dutch coffee (like americano) but more like tea.

    Milan airport: 2,90 for a double espresso, actually really properly made espresso from high quality beans.

    No one beats the Italians when it comes to coffee. At Schiphol airport they’re not even trying (who cares, no one is a returning customer anyway, fuck them, let’s cheap out on freaking coffee, something which barily costs anything to make)
