Because language evolves, people thousands of years from now will barely understand us. Since understanding us will seem so complex, people will just assume that even our dumbest shitposts must have a level of sophistication and credibility to them that’s just too difficult to grasp.
Anonymous asked: idk why I thought New York was gonna be on your no smoke list
New York niggas always think other people are thinking about them. We not.
holyrumswig asked: Detroit, KC and the Bay have always had similar styles, even so far (KC) as accents; Idk the anthropology, but that’s why Mac Dre would even know a Fat Tone to have beef. MC Breed (Flint) was rapping on G-Funk in 92. Street Lordz had B-Legit features in the late 90s using the same flow Tee Grizzly, Payroll Giovanni, etc. use today. They’re obv. twins but the Detroit sound is slightly different & its own thing. The Bay scene’s bigger so gets due credit but it’s not as simple as follow the leader.
All you’ve really done in this message is illustrate that people in the midwest have always loved California music. It does show how The Bay sound bled into Detroit rap, but it does nothing to give evidence to the notion that Detroit didn’t get their rap sound from the Bay.
Also, before this conversation turns left
I don’t want no beef with Detroit niggas 😂
Detroit niggas are on the shortlist of cities where I be like “Aight, you got it fam. The moon don’t exist, you right”
Thats how i feel about Philly niggas. Theyre barely more than rabid animals especially when the Eagles so much as breathe in a football stadium
Philly niggas
NOLA niggas
Anyone who was in Baltimore in the 80s
“Philly niggas are barely more than rabid animals”

“Ten years ago I started a company. It wasn’t a unicorn or anything, but after a few years it was worth a couple million dollars. And that was enough for me. I never wanted to be Bill Gates. All I wanted was financial security. And I thought I had achieved it. We had a deal on the table. It seemed like a sure thing. It got so far along that I was sketching out my retirement. But at the last moment it blew apart, and we never recovered. Last Friday I called a personal bankruptcy attorney. I haven’t even told my wife yet. I want her to know the truth, but I don’t want to freak her out. The stress is fucking killing me. And I just turned sixty, so I’m grappling with the notion that I might not be employable. After being successful for my whole life, suddenly I’m a failure. But I’m trying not to let the dark side take over. I’m fighting off suicidal thoughts. I’m measuring my success by how well I can keep my humanity in the midst of this trauma. If I can maintain respect for other people, it helps me feel better about myself. So I’m trying not to snap at anyone. I’m trying not to be vicious with my wife. If I can’t be a successful person right now, at least I can be a good person. And that’s a form of success.”
Happy New Year!

- gary webb “suicide” (suspicious anyway, but gov. prevented him from getting a job after controversial report)
- japanese american internment camps (also suggest reading the book Farewell to Manzanar)

- MK-Naomi
- tuskegee experiment
- operation mockingbird
- poisoning foster kids
- operation northwoods (wikipedia)

idk if this is exactly related but another fucked up thing the US government did is that they granted immunity to nazis who conducted fatal human experiments so they could use the data obtained from them. Just look up Unit 731 on Wikipedia and you’ll be able to read about it (some of the experiments in the “Activities” tab are extremely graphic. just a warning.)
happy Thursday the 20th
I’d have to wait months or even years for another chance to reblog this, so why the fuck not?
“I just finished medical school. Now I’m heading to residency, which is supposed to be even tougher. I’ve been working sixteen-hour days. Then I’m expected to study every night when I get home. Some of my classmates only sleep three hours per night. I tried that for a few months during my surgery rotation, but I ended up getting really depressed. I felt completely depersonalized. Everything seemed like a dream. To make matters worse, a lot of the instructors are jerks. I think they went through hell when they were students, so they feel like they should put us through hell. On the first day of rotations, my attending physician told me: ‘I’m an asshole, but I’ll make you a better doctor.’ He made fun of me in front of other students. He put me down in front of patients. He’d threaten to kick me out every day. I guess they’re trying to weed people out and make strong doctors. But they’re just traumatizing people. They’re making us apathetic. I got into medicine because I really wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. But after going through hell, I just don’t care anymore.”
