    Twice this week I’ve looked up some song lyrics origins/meanings, and it’s obvious the old sites are just running LLM summaries of every song they have in their DB.

    Wikipedia has notoriously been vague on this, only covering it with a couple sentences for some interview source etc. But those couple of sentences said so much more than the 20 paragraph essay of an LLM trying to figure out and explain creative writing.

    It used to be fans chimed in with their ideas and sources, establishing a solid lyrics origin or meaning. But apparently that’s dead now for the big services and the blogs that exist buried under SEO.

    Seriously, do it now and see what I’m talking about. It’s absolute spew.






  • Aye, but in colder temperatures tight denim cools over leaving no air pocket to trap body heat or improve wind resistance. There’s no one on this planet that can generate body heat on such a level it can counters the atmosphere, so creating a little atmosphere inside the denim with loose jeans is the next best thing. It’s the same concept as single vs double glazed windows.

    If you want tight pants in cold climate, need to use high textured material likecorduroy or fleece, otherwise add a thermal base layer under the denim.


  • I would guess these are the ones that still see themselves as God’s chosen people, superior to all others.

    That level of nationalism could make neo-Nazis blush. The Abrahamic religion(s) rejected the much older Semitic traditions, but only after plagerising them, right down to the “Genesis” being Enuma Elish—boy, they hated the Babylonians, but they hated everyone, really. So then they whacked it under monotheism, where the one god conveniently chooses the Abrahamic people as the superior ones over the other Semites—what a fucking coincidence! 😲

    It’s kinda like Nordicisim but instead of it being about some pseudo “Aryan race” or superiority though “social Darwinism”, it’s tribalism—12 to be exact. It evolved into superiority of ethnicity by divinie will, backed by ancient texts riddled with acts of genocide and regional conquest, excused as righteous divinity, despite no real obvious purposes behind them besides control.

    So while they’re chanting “Death to Arabs” here and rolling out yet another round of localised ethnic cleansing there, they’re somehow avoiding the irony of being the most “antisemitic” of Semites, the Arabs being the largest group within, no less.

    Its a level of nationalistic ideology you can’t stop overnight, lol. That shit runs deep on so many levels.
