The whole situation is fucked. If we get Trump, we get war with Iran for Israel. If we had gotten Biden, we would have gotten war with Russia for Ukraine. With Harris, we might get both. The whole thing is just pants on head and I want no part of it.
Why was Biden going to war with Russia? Americans barely care about foreign policy, it's widely unpopular with politicians to continue to send aide to Ukraine. He never said anything about war. That's a NATO thing, not a President Harris ticket thing.

We are part of NATO and one of its primary financiers. Trump was very vocal about NATO paying its bills and not providing assistance if they didn't. Biden is slowly inching towards allowing more and more American arms to be used against Russian targets. Putin has publicly stated that continuing to do so would invite dire consequences. I see no reason why that won't continue under Harris.

Keep in mind it only became wildly unpopular to fund Ukraine after the attacks in Israel on October seventh. Before then it was only unpopular, but not wildly unpopular. After all, our government is grossly pro-Israel to the detriment of many far more important issues.

These are fair points, I see what you mean and I agree

I unintentionally heard Alpha and Omega's "Yellow", playing at 4:17, while it was 14h17. Hope it won't bring Satan in my house.

Not surprising when you know who made this remix, but here are some other BOC vibes here:


Spoiler: show
I swear there was a thread about songs that have a BOC vibe or share some similarities, but I can't find it anymore.

Cool idea, let’s just make a mixtape together, put your favorite songs and let someone mix it, could turn it into a thread in This Random Sound if y’all like this idea.

Or I’ll mix it myself, I already have some experience with that, I made an entire BoC myself for my family.

Page 244 of this thread was when it all changed, we saw the last appearances of old members on the top of that page, discussing twoism meet ups and the legend of Cupz, the first RodoxRevival© appearance with them showing their music topster, and I haphazardly commented on it having joined a DAY earlier.
Yes I really believe the old times were fading right there and then. Just a thought.

Woe is me. Where is page 244? (rhetorical not literal)

I realized that vocals in those Ulver songs are distorted the same way the ones on The Devil Is in the Details are:

They're likely using modulation like intense tremolo or ringshift style stuff. Lots of artists use these effects for pretty extreme and bizarre results

My kitty passed away a few weeks ago and I've been pretty crushed since. Today while cleaning around I actually found one of her whiskers in our tapestry hanging in a room. Ugly-cried for about 20 minutes but thankful I have something to remember her by
