Easy. Star Trek.

Yeah, and I tried Tenacity, and it doesn’t want to work at all. Guess I’m sticking with old Audacity.

Hmm. You are correct. On both my Windows and Linux machines, I am on Audacity 2.4.2. I’ve been using it for years, now. I never changed my sources, and it never stopped working. Haha!

Doesn’t sound like they actually went through with it?

They did not. I use Audacity regularly on more than one platform. It collects no data from me. It also hasn’t received an update in years, but still does exactly what it needs to do, and does it well.

That said, I hadn’t heard of Tenacity until this thread, and it looks like I shall be migrating over to that anyway. Better safe than sorry.

I understand. I throw obscene amounts of money at the cash black hole that is rent. I understand entirely how people think that people who make money simply by sitting on assets they own and otherwise provide nothing to society should be, ahem, obliterated. I just think it’s still possible to obliterate them with regulations instead of actual murder.

power doesn’t just fucking let you do whatever you want.

No, but power can be subverted. Maybe I’m hopelessly optimistic, but I think there’s still a non-violent solution.

Agreed! A good, campy action movie is great. The problem with Mission Impossible is that it otherwise took itself entirely seriously.

The first time I remember absolutely losing my suspension of disbelief was at the end of the first Mission Impossible reboot where Tom Cruise puts an explosive on a helicopter he’s hanging on the outside of that’s flying behind a train through a tunnel, and the explosion completely destroys the helicopter and flings him onto the back of the train. Yeah, that helicopter (which probably couldn’t be flying through a train tunnel to begin with) was made of far tougher material than Tom Cruise. Any explosion that destroyed it, would have turned him into a stain on the wall of the tunnel.

I get the violent rhetoric, I really do. But, at the same time, I can’t help but feel like more people would be more amenable to social reform that benefits the little guy to the mere detriment of the rich, rather than murdering them horribly. I could be wrong, but doesn’t history teach us that violent revolution more often just begets more violence than actually solves problems?

I haven’t exactly been to a large number of big concerts in my life, but still I have to say that Weird Al’s was the best. It was late 90s. He played every one of his hits in costume and nailed it every time. For the finale, he buried the front rows (I was in row 2) in fake bubble snow while playing Christmas at Ground Zero. It was gloriously ridiculous. 10/10 experience. Hardest working man in showbiz. UHF was a documentary. (I still haven’t seen the new movie. I really should get on that.)

Maybe the chaebols should stop constantly putting up new apartment blocks now.

Is a declining birth rate a bad thing? 50 million people live in a country (South Korea) the size of Indiana. Maybe, just maybe the economy should just take a hit for a change so there can be fewer people here. I know rich people don’t want that, but I bet the country would be a better place for it.
