Nor is it ever really represented visually in what it would theoretically look like.", "As someone who gets light sensitive headaches this would literally be hell.", "Besides looking cool, is there any actual advantage?", "Maybe the pixels become opaque when they light up, like glowing e-ink. This would make them perfectly readable in daylight just like current e-ink displays are.\n\nAs for a reason why you'd bother, it could be for much longer battery life. By using a piece of frosted glass to blur whatever is behind the screen into a neutral background you only need to light up specific pixels. You don't need to light up huge white spaces just to provide contrast for your actual content.", "If only there was some kind of entertaining short video, say 1:23 long or so, that you could watch that would answer this question.", "Most shows that actually give a crap about actual physics will find some kind of technological handwaving that lets them travel at or above relativistic speeds without having to deal with time dilation. Unless, of course, the time dilation is plot-relevant like it is in Interstellar.\n\nThat said, excepting the massive amounts of energy and acceleration required to actually travel at a significant fraction of the speed of light, my understanding is that the actual experience of being in a ship going 0.9c would be incredibly mundane. It doesn't matter how fast you're going, physics operates the same inside any non-accelerating reference frame.", "they never actually do lightspeed though. theres only 4 travel types in screen sci fi that i can think of and they all go faster than lightspeed - variations of warp, stargates, jumping, and hyperspace.", "inside the ship yes, but the view outsdie would alter dramatically. as you approach lightspeed, the stars would become blue shifted due to the doppler effect until they disappeared from the visible spectrum. meanwhile, the cosmic background radiation would be shifted into the visible spectrum and appear as a single point of light, so youd have that to look at instead.", "Cinematic advantage but not practical.\n\nIt's an easy way to show the audience without extra explanation \"this is a futuristic setting\" and it allows more varied camera angles.

But it would still always have a slot for tiny tape drives. Or it would swap modules that held the \"programming\" to function as other devices simply because the idea of having enough storage space was unthinkable.. or at least was forgotten as a concept", "The issue with e-ink is the abysmal refresh rate.\nFor single purpose devices like an e-reader it's fine.

I have written my way off the whiteboard and onto the glass dividers. It works well.", "Yeah I think the whole purpose of that in movies is so they can easily get a shot that shows the formula and the actor's face while he's writing. They can't get a shot like that if he's writing on a blackboard. If he's writing on a window they can stand outside the window and film in and capture both things.", "Except other shows have pulled that trick with blackboards/whiteboards. They film behind a glass board while the actor writes on it, then they cut to behind the actor who has just finished writing the same thing on a proper black/white board.", "It must be easier to write about a future concept that interfaces or exists within modern concepts, rather than a future concept that renders the modern concept obsolete.\n\nLike if someone wrote a sci-fi in 1965 about a character in 2025 visiting \"Tech Hub\", a grungy tech shop in the corner of a bustling mall, right next to the soda fountain. And sure, maybe the character buys a device that is a lot like our modern day virtual reality headsets, but he probably would've bought it on Amazon, not in a shopping mall, and there sure as hell wouldn't be a \"soda fountain\" next door even if it were at a mall.\n\nBut what matters to the readers in 1965 is the VirtuGlass goggles that convey the user into a digital reality. So perhaps the author avoids making too many predictions about the state of soda fountains and shopping malls (or doesn't think to do so) in order to stay focused on the important technology that progresses the story.\n\nI do like to read sci-fi through the sixties and eighties to see the changing landscape. Like how Asimov unintentionally embeds sixties concepts in his future visions, as Gibson does with the eighties. And in a way you feel that Gibson sells the tech better, but perhaps only because he is \"jumping off\" from a nearer decade. And you think that the cracks will start to widen in Gibson's tech when looking back at it from 2040. And by then Asimov's writing will still be amazing, but perhaps it will seem even more quaint.", "They did have replicators after all. If I could say 'Computer, print me another tablet' I'd have dozens of the things around the house.", "I wonder why don't they make those glass boards sand blasted from the back side. It would provide enough blur to avoid distracting people from using them. That texture could be used then as a reflective surface to provide backlight which would make writing a lot easier and a lot cooler. Then again, whiteboards provide awesome contrast with none of that." ]	34	videos	A sci-fi movie pet peeve of mine, perfectly illustrated: Clear Tablets

It's much more about re-incorporation of details, themes, and ideas. It's about paying off all the items you bothered to setup.

Cherkhov made plays in a time when [realism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realism_\$theatre\$) and the even more extreme [naturalism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalism_\$theatre\$) where in fashion.\n\nThese sought to capture a \"slice of life\", as if you really were looking into a real part. And the sets were intricate and detailed, compared to previous one, with less use of flat paintings, and more nuance to what things are.\n\nIt was common that sets would go too far, adding all sorts of random bits and trinkets that they'd be able to find. This would mean that trivial randomly chosen set pieces would seem very important when they weren't. So the original quote was\n\n> One must never place a loaded rifle on the stage if it isn't going to go off. It's wrong to make promises you don't mean to keep.\n\nKind of a statement that you shouldn't put misleading set pieces. That later was generalized to the idea that every set piece should be important. As in have a reason. It's ok to have a picture of a dog, but only if it makes sense that this character is a dog person. You can add all these details, but realize they are telling us something about the characters, their place, and their story; everything should fit. You shouldn't add things just because when they don't add anything.\n\nThen that later was generalized (by Cherkhov himself) to cover everything in a story. In a way you could think of it like this: a story is a ride, and everything in the story must have a purpose. It doesn't mean you need to make it tight. You can go for a few pages talking about the elaborate and very rich meals some character takes, only to go to the next chapter where another character is struggling to eat scraps. The purpose of the \"meandering\" was to set up a contrast, and to really drive it home. Extra points if the characters like eating food. You could take it out and keep the plot, but then you'd miss something of the story, and the characters, something that may be important.\n\nThe quote became\n\n> Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there.\n\nBut it's important to understand what context it was said, on an environment where adding more was the common convention. Cherkhov took a stance on drawing a fundamental line in the sand, but he didn't have to talk about being too drab or not adding enough, there just wasn't much there. That said a lot of contemporary theater certainly tried taking this to the utmost extreme.", "[Realism (theatre)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realism_\$theatre\$) \n \n >Realism in the theatre was a general movement that began in 19th-century theatre, around the 1870s, and remained present through much of the 20th century. It developed a set of dramatic and theatrical conventions with the aim of bringing a greater fidelity of real life to texts and performances. These conventions occur in the text, (set, costume, sound, and lighting) design, performance style, and narrative structure. They include recreating on stage a facsimile of real life except missing a fourth wall (on proscenium arch stages).\n \n[Naturalism (theatre)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalism_\$theatre\$) \n \n >Naturalism is a movement in European drama and theatre that developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It refers to theatre that attempts to create an illusion of reality through a range of dramatic and theatrical strategies. Interest in naturalism especially flourished with the French playwrights of the time, but the most successful example is Strindberg's play Miss Julie, which was written with the intention to abide by both his own particular version of naturalism, and also the version described by the French novelist and literary theoretician, Émile Zola.

Someone says \"Remove everything that has no relevance\" and uses a plot device as an example of ONE of the things subject to that advice and you in your wisdom have decided that the example is the only thing being referred to?\n\nIf he uses that example once? No.\n\nIf he uses that example every single time he talks about the concept? Yes, then I might get an inkling that that is, indeed, what he is talking about.\n\nBut hey, apparently me, Hemingway, various authors and literally every single other person in this entire post with 700 comments got it all wrong!\n\n> Again: Can you explain why \"Everything that has no relevance\" is a phrase that only applies to plots and not every and any other aspect of storytelling?\n\nMostly because I have no fucking idea how this concept is supposed to apply to concepts like \"themes\".\n\nSo please, great master, explain this to me, stupid person that I am.\n\nHow do you use Chekhov's gun on a theme of a story, exactly?", "> If he uses that example every single time he talks about the concept?\n\nSo lemme get this straight. Someone says \"Remove everything that has no relevance\" and uses a plot device as an example of ONE of the things subject to that advice and you in your wisdom have decided that he used the metaphor of a loaded gun not because it's a simple and effective way to get the concept across, but because he wanted people to know that he was only talking about a physical object used as a plot device and ONLY physical objects used as plot devices. And that people should ignore the part where he literally said \"remove everything that has no relevance\".\n\nThat's funny on it's own, but what really puts this over the top is the confidence you're stating that he uses the example \"every time\", when you couldn't even be bothered to notice that there are only two direct quotes of him using this example that you know of - and the second one was, yes, a metaphor - referring to a monologue. Not a gun. Not an object. Not a plot device. But simply extraneous words.\n\nOh and the other quote started with the aforementioned \"Remove everything that has no relevance\".\n\nSo the question is now: Why are you working so hard to look so dumb?\n\n>But hey, apparently me, Hemingway, various authors and literally every single other person in this entire post with 700 comments got it all wrong!\n\nNo, that's just you, since Hemingway never interpreted Chekhov's words in that way, and you only think he does because you cannot read the single sentence you're using to make this huge point, let alone the essay it comes from which undermines you more or less completely - which is pretty embarrassing. \n\nMoreover, none of the authors who you mysteriously cannot name or quote, have actually commented on Chekhov's Gun claiming that it can only refer to plot devices, nor has anyone on this thread. So I honestly don't know what you thought you were achieving by writing this, but you fucked it up.\n\n>So please, great master, explain this to me, stupid person that I am. How do you use Chekhov's gun on a theme of a story, exactly?\n\nWell I don't actually need to do that since, for like the third time, Chekhov himself summarises the concept of his \"Gun\" as \"Remove everything that has no relevance\" - and there is no way in the world of common sense that \"everything\" could possibly only be referring to one of the multiple aspects of storytelling (e.g. The plot device). You could have intuited this for yourself if you weren't so wrapped up with not looking embarrassed to be wrong on the internet and thought about that for a moment, but I guess that's not your way, and now you actually do look like an idiot.\n\nThis principle has been running riot through literature for hundreds of years. In Julius Caesar, a major theme is the struggle between fate vs free will. The gun is loaded early on when Cassius stakes out his belief that reliance on fate is cowardice; declaring that \"Men at sometime were masters of their fates. / The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, / But in ourselves\" - inviting the audience to consider Cassius' true views. And indeed it turns out over the course of events that his attitude is more nuanced than his words. Finally at his death, the gun fires - with Cassius accepting the prophecy that he will die the day he was born.\n\nIn the film Die Hard, a gold Rolex watch is significant, not for any bearing on the plot, but because of it's significance to various characters. The watch is illustrative of the theme of 80s greed and materialism woven through the film - It's given to Holly by the most grotesquely venal character in the film as a reward for good performance (i.e. making the company a lot of money), whereas the hero disdains it (as he does most of the aspects of Holly's job). Chekhov's Gun fires at the end when Hans Gruber - a character who has previously attempted to explain his actions as high-minded and political, before being exposed as just a common greedy thief - makes a desperate attempt to save his own life by grabbing at that same watch. The watch disintegrates in Gruber's hands, sending him plummeting to his death.\n\nSo there you go, two examples 400 years apart of Chekhov's Gun being used as a tool to illustrate theme and character. You're welcome.", "First of all, I love the smugness you ooze out of every sentence. Great stuff.\n\nAnd thanks for the examples, they do help in figuring out what the hell you are trying to say.\n\nNow do that with Tolkien's description of landscapes. Or are those not Chekhov's gun? Or is Tolkien just a bad writer? Or do those not somehow contribute to the theme of the books?\n\nPoint being: Not literally everything that is showing up in a story has relevance in the context of Chekhov's gun. Some things solely exist to create the atmosphere or the world the characters live in. And that can - shockingly - include a literal gun being described somewhere. And that is not - at least not by definition - bad writing.\n\nI mean your original assertion was that every single violation of Chekhov's gun is a sign of bad writing, and that's just, well, dumb.

He recalled: \"I was ready to fine-tune my compression algorithm...somewhere down the corridor, a radio was playing 'Tom's Diner.' I was electrified. I knew it would be nearly impossible to compress this warm a cappella voice.\"\\[9\\]\r \n\r \nIn a 2009 documentary about the history of the song by Swedish SVT, Brandenburg said: \"I was finishing my PhD thesis, and then I was reading some hi-fi magazine and found that they had used this song to test loudspeakers. I said 'OK, let's test what this song does to my sound system, to MP3'. And the result was, at bit rates where everything else sounded quite nice, Suzanne Vega's voice sounded horrible.\"\\[10\\]\r \n\r \nBrandenburg adopted the song for testing purposes, listening to it again and again each time he refined the scheme, making sure it did not adversely affect the subtlety of Vega's voice. While the MP3 compression format is not specifically tuned to play the song \"Tom's Diner\" (an assortment of critically analyzed material was involved in the design of the codec over many years), among audio engineers this anecdote has earned Vega the informal title \"The Mother of the MP3\".\\[11\\]", "How did she miss the remix?

I couldn't find a version of this song I recognised. \n\nTurns out it was the Fall Out Boy 'version'!", "It’s a really weird category, and it depends on the setup and aspect of sound quality being tested. Some sound qualities will have a very subjective target, in which case it is best to use an album familiar to the listener. Other qualities are more objective, like dynamic range and sound stage. You also have to pick an album that plays well with the speaker setup (mono, stereo, 5.1, 7.1, etc.). \n\nIn my circle of audiophile friends, there is broad agreement that the most versatile choice is Roger Waters’ solo album Amused to Death, which was mastered in Q-Sound.

To be fair, meth is a major issue there, which is associated with a lot of Mountain Dew drinking--at least that's the stereotype I've encountered. I managed to stay out of that particular culture, so I can't say firsthand. \n\nMeanwhile, in Central America, Coke was everywhere. I drink a lot there, too to avoid contaminated water.

I know India does it this way too, probably many other countries. It's like none of the bubbles have had a chance to pop yet.

I buy it for that 'sharpness', although it's no Coke.", "I've lived in the Peru and US, and Coke/Pepsi do taste different. I think they change the recipes to adhere to local tastes.\n\nI can't even drink Pepsi in Peru because it is so sweet.", "I hear you. Once in awhile, maybe once a year I'll go hard on the sugar. Eat a bunch of candy, maybe donuts, or anything sweet like that. Like you said though, I quickly/easily get sick of it.

Hell, this video has a part where a Mexican woman who's a shaman is talking about Coke/diabetes. She claims that anger/family problems cause diabetes, not sugar/problems with insulin. \n\nWhen you have people without access to education to the point where they don't even know that loads of sugar is terrible for you, it's hard to reverse that, at least quickly. The older generations wouldn't be too keen on giving up all that soda, it would be extremely difficult to get them to quit, or cut down a lot. Young kids could probably be done, but not without the enforcement/support from their parents.\n\nHopefully they figure out something solid besides just a tax for sugar. Being overweight, while itself won't kill you (usually), it just makes every other problem worse, makes recovery take longer and is pretty bad for your mental health too. I just can't imagine how many health issues will be avoided when Mexico is able to curb the amount of soda people drink.", "Inka Cola?", ">Resulting in my father being diegetic in his 30s.\n\nSorry to hear that.

It still had fans, sure, but there really wasn't much mainstream Industrial music being made or consumed in the new millennium.\n\nIt doesn't help too that Bowie infamously hated Never Let Me Down, which ended up causing a long hiatus between releases, and marked the end of his mainstream efforts.

Briefly, the 90s were a time of total American global hegemony and a very outward looking supremely powerful ascendant America that looked poised to effectively assimilate the planet after its Cold War victory.

Who the hell deserves to be publicly mocked by his boss in front of his own children over an interpersonal spat at work?\n\n[Many ppl inside the production of the show sided with Chevy Chase at the time.](https://www.tmz.com/2012/04/02/community-chevy-chase-dan-harmon-staff-support/#.T3odTatSS54)\n\n> One source tells us, \"What Dan did was embarassing and left a sour taste in all of our mouths ... so low class.\" The source adds, \"The staff was not pissed at Chevy ... we're pissed at Dan. We all hope Chevy comes back next season.\"\n\nAfter the incident at the wrap party, Chase left a scathingly angry private voicemail for Harmon. Harmon then weaponized this by playing excerpts from the voicemail on his podcast an attempt to further publicly shame Chase.\n\nChase was invited back for a fourth season. Harmon was not.\n\nNormie or not, Harmon's behavior in this incident was unbelievably childish and mean-spirited, and I would not have felt too badly for him if it had sunk his entire career. Talented people have lost their careers over a lot less than that. Lucky for him, he was invited back for s5 after Chase chose to leave the show. Donald Glover left the show shortly after Harmon's return, and that \"killed the show\" according to Harmon. The official story Glover gave was that he was leaving to focus on his film and music careers (which he did to stunning effect), but i have long suspected it also had something to do with Glover being fed up by Harmon being an insufferable prick to work with. That's just my conjecture though.\n\nHarmon and Roiland obviously have had a lot of fun making Rick & Morty, but i would not be at all surprised if part of why they drag their heels so much when it comes to new episodes is an unpleasant friction between them when they work.

There are four lights but they are trying to force him into saying otherwise, to show they control his brain and entire reality.", "This scene is irrelevant without all the context. Basically the whole episode they're torturing him trying to get information out of him, and at some point they just start trying to get him to make a small concession. There are only 4 lights there but they tell him if he says there are 5 they'll stop torturing him. \n\nThis is the final scene of this, where he still hasn't broken. But it took him a long time to say anything. Basically the unbreakable Captain Picard was almost broken, but he held out just long enough. It's powerful in the context of the episode and meaningless outside of that context.", "thank you", "It wasn't until years after I saw this episode that I learned this is a reference to 1984", "IIRC he even says back on the enterprise that he saw 5 lights.", "The 1984 reference here at least is not as heavy handed as it was in Babylon 5, so props to TNG. (Loved B5 though, mean no hate)", "To elaborate on answers already given:\n\nWith a particularly tough subject, an \"interrogator\" like this is trying to get the subject to waver. Picard won't betray the Federation's secrets because his devotion to its cause is an absolute truth to him. So they put something small in front of him to get him to give just a little. If he'd just say that he sees five lights when he knows that he actually sees four, things will get better for him. Once he makes that small concession, it plants a seed: if he puts aside the truth, things get better.\n\nSo the entire episode is this battle of wills where the interrogator is trying to get Picard to budge just a little on a completely inconsequential fact, because he knows that once that happens the important facts will eventually be negotiable. Picard understands this, too, and fights with everything he has to hold on to the simple fact that he sees four lights no matter what he's told.", "This particular Cardassian was torturing Picard for days. He put forward a deal for Picard: he can say and believe that there are 5 lights, and live in a ghetto which ample amenities; or else, face further torture and likely execution via the Cardassian court system.\n\nThe real idea was to prove to Picard that Picard's mind itself could be shaped to the Cardassian's liking. He would do this to Picard, either for the fun of it, or more likely, as the starting point of a brainwashing program to turn Picard into a sleeper agent. Yet at the same time, he'd be tempted to earn more privileges by divulging Federation secrets. So Picard is doomed to guilt for betraying the Federation no matter what he does. He is to have no hope, and a shattered sense of self-worth.\n\nWhat happens at the end of this scene is that they are informed that the Federation has resolved an issue with the Cardassian empire, and the mission Picard was caught in is thus nullified. He was traded out.\n\nAt the end of the episode, Picard confesses to a friend that before that moment, he was ready to say and believe that there are 5 lights. So when he says \"there are four lights,\" he is throwing the Cardassian's failure back in his face, to display triumph even though he still feels defeated." ]	10	videos	[deleted by user]

I know it's for no reason because you could still rotate videos with inspect element even when they switched from legacy studio to the current version.

Add songs used to have a \"browse\" section where you could add your own music from your hard drive, the add music section also had a \"save as\" option to make a new video instead of overwrite your old one, TRIM also had this feature before it was removed. Out of 100 tries the blur feature might only work once and if you try to do multiple blurs (which is available) it crashes.

What's the logic with this move?", "100%", ">Can nobody compete with them?\n\nShort answer: no.\n\nLong answer: any person or corporation who wakes up one fine morning and decides to invent a direct competitor to YouTube, will be basically fighting against a god impersonated. YouTube is an extremely well-established brand name that belongs to a corporation with a functionally unlimited amount of resources. Anyone going against that, right now, is starting with less than nothing. People in general are indifferent to YouTube and how it's managed. They just want to see videos, and if a creator leaves the platform, they will not even give one single fraction of a fuck. Convincing an average viewer to let go of YouTube and start watching videos elsewhere is a herculean task to say the least.\n\nThis all means that competing against YouTube is an adventure that is largely doomed to failure. YouTube itself has far, far too much momentum. People often say that YouTube will eventually kill itself, but the actual outcome (should that even happen) will be that the GAFAs of the world will make their own crappy video hosting service as some way to help themselves to the scraps if they find out YouTube somehow screwed up so bad that they alienated their entire userbase. I don't think this has happened yet, and I don't think this will happen at all. YouTube is here to stay.\n\nCompetition might have been possible in the early days of video sharing. But now? Forget it. The required infrastructure is far too extensive and expensive. Anyone wanting to be a serious competitor will need to sink tens of millions of dollars into simply getting a server park and a storage solution online. In short: The game is already over, and YouTube won a long time ago.\n\nIn my eyes, the most \"worthy\" competitor to YouTube is Vimeo. Vimeo has some amount of branding, and a few links go to that website. The player works fine I guess, and the videos are of good quality. It's viewer-friendly for the most part... but it's not creator friendly. In fact, it's not friendly to small creators at all.\n\nSuppose I wanna produce videos. First of all, I have to pay to upload anything whatsoever on Vimeo. Already, that's a deal-breaker for a huge number of people. Next, even after paying, there's a restriction on upload size, and on amount of data that can be uploaded in a week, and a year. This doesn't really affect the common of mortals, but then again, the common of mortals have already disengaged because they want to upload shit hassle-free.\n\nMeanwhile, YouTube will happily take everything I throw at it, no questions asked. I can just shove a 2GB+ video online and have it popped up and ready in HD ten minutes later, done deal, super simple.

Currently the Catholic Church neither formally endorses nor rejects the shroud\"\n\n\"In 1988, radiocarbon dating established that the shroud was from the Middle Ages, between the years 1260 and 1390.[1] All hypotheses put forward to challenge the radiocarbon dating have been scientifically refuted,[5] including the medieval repair hypothesis,[6][7][8] the bio-contamination hypothesis[9] and the carbon monoxide hypothesis.[10]\"\n\nA 75min video with an interview of one guy who photographed the shroud changes nothing. The volume of medieval religious forgeries is massive, and given that there was no mention of this existing until the 1300's, it is highly unlikely to be \"real\", and correspond to that which people claim that it does.\n\nEven if it's DID date back to the year 0, which there is no evidence to support, what are we left with? From Wikipedia again,\n\n\"The image in faint straw-yellow colour on the crown of the cloth fibres appears to be of a man with a beard, moustache, and shoulder-length hair parted in the middle. He is muscular and tall (various experts have measured him as from 1.70 to 1.88 m or 5 ft 7 in to 6 ft 2 in).[17] Reddish-brown stains are found on the cloth, correlating, according to proponents, with the wounds in the Biblical description of the crucifixion of Jesus.[18]\"\n\nThe image of a man, bearing wounds that map to the story of Jesus as described in the Bible. Do we know it's actually Jesus in the image? No. Is there evidence it's actually Jesus? Not really, apart from the \"wounds\". Thousands upon thousands of people were crucified by the Romans- I see no evidence linking this to any actual individuals. The only evidence that this is Jesus is medieval religious traditions that the Catholic Church doesn't even want to weigh in on- and THAT should be all the evidence you need, cuz if the Catholic Church thought it was real, they'd say so, and they'd make sure everyone knew it.\n\nEdit:\nI apologize if my tone came across as overbearing- I'm just very passionate about medieval-era religious artifact forgeries." ]	3	videos	The Shroud of Turin - Fact or Fiction

Both structurally and culturally, for better or worse, when you look at a YouTube video, some stupid meme, a QAnon 4chan post, a Reddit post, they're built on SA's bones. A lot of good shit. A lot of bad shit.

The late 90s and early 00s internet was something special, and a large part of that was due to SA and the content that came out of an entire community of likeminded degenerates. I should fire up Quake 2 and read a few Jeff K artifacts in memoriam of a time when the internet was still the Wild West and I was way too young to be neck deep in all of it, but god damn it was fun.

His parents shouldn't have to outlive their son. His sister shouldn't have to be an only(?) child. All of them, his family and his friends, they all deserve better. The funny, dorky kid I knew as Lowtax mumblemumbles years ago? He fucking deserved better. That kid? He's the Lowtax I want to remember. Maybe he will be \"Lowtax\" for how I do remember him, because tbqh I would be mourning that kid today even if he were alive, because this \"Rich\" persona I'm learning about is just so far removed from the Lowtax that I knew all those years ago that I almost can't reconcile the two, you know?
