       I remember the moral panic about dual cassette decks. The copying would kill the music industry!!Then, same was said for the CD, the Minidisc, and then the MP3. In the end, what really killed the music industry was corporate greed. Capitalism is the reason we can’t have nice things.

       @Radical_EgoCom so droll. Always the same stupid argument. Folks think that innovation only happens under capitalism. Wrong. Smart folks innovate. Capitalists steal their ideas, then give us a shabby second rate likeness of the great idea, because profit. Then they stifle any future competition. I’d argue that without capitalism, we could have much cooler stuff, designed to be repaired + reused almost forever. Also cleaner water, a healthy planet, more biodiversity, less stress

       @futurebird the only assumption I’m making is “you should have spent more time practicing your aim” 😂

       @futurebird on the heavier side, but Hum is one of my favorites. Their stuff is simultaneously very sci-fi sounding, but also pretty obscure. From the album Downward is Heavenward, the songs “Mrs Lazarus”, “Apollo”, and “The Scientists” are good ones. https://youtu.be/HsNyU0kkJaM?feature=shared😎❤️
