colorful人生

Always remembered it as the "ice cube" album. I didn't know why I remembered the album cover so well, not having listened to the album for many years. I realized I only would listen to it for "Guren", then hop back over to NIL (the only two gazette albums on my iPod before I grabbed their discog sometime after TOXIC released.)

I pretty much post songs straight to YouTube, and really haven't run into many copyright claims w/ my newer postings aside from Maverick D.C (Danger Crue).

Copyright claims most of the time only force ads/monetization on that particular content to benefit the original creator, but most of the time your videos themselves are untouched. You might get a video region-blocked, but I've only had a few completely neutered from the site. 

Just don't post BUCK TICK b/c the feds will come to y-

..but seriously, there were certain labels what were hell-bent in nuking your channel back in the day.

On a side note, just realized my channel has 48.3k hours of watching/listening time. Close to 6 years straight, and everyone says YouTube Music isn't a viable music platform, lulw. 

Certainly doesn't mean the laptop is toast. Backup your files in safe mode to an external and do system restore. (If you don't know what's messing w/ up your startup.)

Or just use the Startup Repair tool (remembered this as I was typing.)

Did you try popping back in w/ Safe Mode on boot? ... or is it a hardware issue? In that case "F" =(.

NIL and TOXIC. I don't go out of my way to listen to them nowadays, but those two albums I'm pretty ok with. 

I liked certain snippets of the show in the first season, but I could never sit through a whole episode.  Though, I barely even watch sitcoms (animated or not) on my own volition in the first place. 

I really enjoy the latter end of that 耳鳴り preview. It seems like he covers all bases here https://big-up.style/musics/405451 through "Big Up!", so hopefully it's digitally released as well.

Seconding the "Soshi-era tracks being boring" statement. Also, his vocal style reminds me of a half-baked Sou from A9. (I could never get into that band either.)

Though, I was also a fan of the brief existence that was Remming, lul. Something about that vocal wobble...

Voting records are public info in your states @CAT5 & @YuyoDrift, going off this list:

http://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/access-to-and-use-of-voter-registration-lists.aspx. Though I feel like that's more relevant to the flurry of snail mail you'll get during election season (since for many states it's per-request.) I actually got a letter in the mail in 2018 stating my "lackluster" voting frequency (even though I've only missed one primary) and that of my neighbors of similar political affiliation.

What I'm guessing happened is that Facebook has access to your phone's geolocation data and the locations of voting centers. Like how Google asks me for restaurant reviews after I leave, Facebook probably does the same w/ your "voting/registration status". 

Can't speak for everyone, but trying to ignore or put aside your feelings is always a stopgap measure. While forgiveness can be one method, there are many other ways to confront your feelings; I think confrontation (internal or external) has to be one of the steps to healing.

Also recognition/realization > rationalization. 

This has def. been plug'd or dub'd, probably by @CAT5 b/c I remember this. Otoboke Beaver is on Spotify, but Midori is region-locked so it's been a while since I've listened to her.

If you want to crank the screaming/"vocal strain" up to 11 the whole song, akai kurage might be of interest.

Pretty much. Combined with the ad revenue from those who didn't pay and that weird "Rocks" system which was basically getting hi-res anime pics for c̶o̶m̶p̶l̶e̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶f̶f̶e̶r̶s̶  getting ads.

So they're basically pulling a dumping strategy, which is an anti-competitive practice, but without the negatives since they got revenue from advertising and their product cost is zero. They have fidelized plenty of people and now that they're transitioning to what appear to be completely legit practices, they will keep a chunk of the users as customers. This is essentially what CR did back in the day, as well as FAKKU. It's honestly hard to believe that the market regulation organisms are fine with this. If this happened with a physical store, the owners would already be behind bars, not because they dealt with pirated content, but because the practice of this strategy is banned, even if they do it inadvertently.

If they had done everything with the support of the scanlator groups, and without going the advertising AND the SUBSCRIPTION route, by taking advantage of both the scanlators and the ignorance of the readers, as well as obviously the mangaka and everyone involved in the actual products, then maybe, just maybe, I would've hoped them smooth sailing, but no, they went full-on greed and not only did they steal ad revenue from the licence holders (this is ACTUAL money made from people getting ads on their screen while reading manga from their site, it's not a "potential sale" bs most licence holders pull when talking about piracy losses), but they also had the gall to create an app, make it go past google's or iOS's (forgot which) checks, and ask for a freaking subscription fee!

I'll add that this to me falls exactly in line w/ what CR and FK did, since I followed both changes when they happened. I figured this would happen eventually, and those suspicions was solidified after I noticed the huge influx of manhwa (as part of those content deals.) They launched their subscription service not even a month ago, so they'll keep the app around. Once users begin to trickle out of the sub service (which is inevitable) and MRComics is finalized, I reckon MangaRock will be no more. There is NO app or service that can survive long-term straddling the line between fan scanlation and legal sources.
