The Final Cut is a strange album, practically a Roger Waters solo project.

I think it's pretty underwhelming, but it has some highlights. The closer is one of them.

The time signatures are fun, the lyrical content is peak Waters, and a song about nuclear holocaust feels just right to end Pink Floyd's legendary discography.

There was this test I was taking for a position at a state-owned company and I failed in part because my dumb ass didn't get the message that I was just supposed to answer with exactly what the hip soulless anthropoids in HR wanted instead of being honest

The corporate world would chew me up

I was surprised when I first found out Eddie Van Halen was half-Indonesian, but looking back on it, yeah he really had that face. That is not the face of a typical white man.

If he had short hair, he'd be an average Indonesian real estate agent. In another life, he would've been chilling on his massive porch listening to Michael Learns to Rock while hating poor people.

Back to emoposting.

This one is kind of a hidden gem of the genre. It instantly catches your ear with a riff in 5/4.

The lyrics tell a nostalgic and tender story. Of a loved one perhaps? Or maybe a good friend?

Nope, the song's about the band's decommissioned tour van. I've never heard a vehicle being described with such compassion.

R.I.P Brian Wilson.

I mean, I never really cared for The Beach Boys, but they were legends.

Kokomo was another 80s song that weirdly colored my 2000s childhood, but that one coincidentally didn't feature Brian at all.

It sucks being a shoujo manga fan because no one's updating shit

I have like 10 different series stuck in scanlation hell.

And no I'm not going to pay money to legally obtain these manga volumes, are you crazy?

TMI(?), but my body's just been going through phases of weird bullshit. The current one that's been going on for the past 3 or so years is I get the hiccups way less, but I also drool while I sleep sometimes.

I used to be a hiccup fiend until I had this one insane hiccup fit in college that lasted over an hour, and I basically started having them less since then.

I hope the next phase is being immune to cancer.

Pretty good j-pop song, right?

THINK AGAIN!

Compare if you will, to the chorus of this Indonesian pop song released 3 years earlier.

A coincidence or something more?

The Stereopony song is a banger though, sad to hear about Darker than Black season 2 though.

This is so true.

Jordan Peterson perfectly summarizes here the ravages that woke postmodern neomarxist ideals have done to western society.

Imperial LARPers are the most fascinating people on the internet

I'm sorry sweetie but you are nowhere near old enough to romanticize the Dutch colonial empire.

And no amount of tweeting is going to bring the Japanese empire back either.

And you are not ancient Roman.

You might just have Mongol DNA though, like the rest of us.

Something that I've never understood is this weird cutthroat zero-sum view people have about the world

I saw some random white dude bring up how Indonesians should be replaced by more "productive people" because I guess the country doesn't have as much global recognition compared to its population and size.
