    Stupid self obsessed pouters. The only thing that is of any interest to them is the cult of celebrity and all the vacuous meaningless rubbish that this encompasses.

    The medium is the message, and social media / phone cameras + acceptance = inverse vanity where in fact it is making people feel less good about themselves. Self obsession doesn’t necessarily mean you love yourself, so in a way, excessive selfies are to be pitied.

    My fiancé is always asking me to take photos of her with her smartphone. It's not my thing at all, and I used to get annoyed when she asked as I thought it vain. But I relented when I found out all she wanted was to send the pictures to her children abroad.

    I absolutely lose my shit when people use "loose" when they mean "lose".
    A mainly digital setup with a musical amplifier and endearing 1970's speakers. A CD player that hardly ever gets used and a turntable that is good enough to remind my how enjoyable my old vinyl is. Some cables and things.

    You should chose your words more carefully and loose the attitude mate!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
