Anyone else try to show nearby black people that they’re listening to Kendrick?

    Anyone else try to show nearby black people that they're listening to Kendrick Lamar?

Today i was on standing the train, listening to the new album and i noticed that there was a black guy standing behind me.

I wanted to show him that i'm not racist and am in fact all for black rights, so i opened spotify, put brightness on max and held my phone up (discretely) so he could see me jamming it to the 🐐.

On the train ride back there was a black man sitting across from me so I did one better. I chucked on To Pimp a Butterfly, held my phone flat so he could see it and gave him a small nod.

I like to believe that i'm on the right side of history. I feel like they probably respected me for that.

Anyone else do this?

Yesterday I was at the airport waiting for my plane while listening to TPAB when a black man sat across from me.

I wanted to show him I am not racist and that I stand with him, but not in an obvious way. So I opened the Spotify app, turned my brightness to max, and laid it on my chair’s arm. I don’t think he noticed though.

I did this once before in my college class where a black student sat next to me. I decided to play some Kendrick through my AirPods and had my phone facing him and gave him a short nod.

I like to think I’m on the right side of history and that I will make their day.

Anyone else do this?

    I got a visit from a black electrician the other day, and I was nervous because I thought he'd see me as one of those racist whites. He could see me sweating nervously and I guess he sensed that I was feeling some white guilt, but he handled it like a pro. He said, "Mind if I do some reading?" And he pulled out a copy of the Collected Works of George Lincoln Rockwell. My jaw dropped! He laughed and said, "Just letting you know, brother, we're both one of the good ones." I think we could all learn a little from him about seeing people as individuals, not just by the colour of their skin.

    Congratulations to you, and all other users protesting on the subreddit

      Its a response from a mod of r/LimbusCompany during the NSFW ban drama where a user was banned in multiple related Limbus Company subs for “stoking” the drama. The mod had since apologized and unbanned the user. Meanwhile the response had become a copypasta for sounding like a FNAF ending ahh speech (villain monologue). Context to the whole drama here.

      Congratulations to you, and all other users protesting on the subreddit. Contrary to what people have said, we aren't going to stay the course regardless of what we hear. Your side won. You, however, will not get to be a part of it. I won't explain everything you did to make this situation far worse as you stirred the pot, since you know it full well. Forget about the Angela Corn post, we've looked at every post and comment you've made. Plenty of people were expressing their criticism in good faith and in civil manners. You were creating drama for the hell of it.
So goodbye and good luck.

      I guess I deserve nothing, not even a brief, simple explanation as to why this image is funny

        I guess I deserve nothing, not even a brief, simple explanation as to why this image is funny. If I don’t deserve this, do I even deserve anything else? Was it all in vain, my mediocre possessions, my average intellect, my fragile mental health, my blurry consciousness… my state of being. Is there even a reason for me to have them? I have not any monumental feats, nor did I change the world significantly. I have been practically useless my whole life. Everything makes me feel like a burden to others. I am wasting away, and I believe I deserve it.

Excited for this to get taken down, because you take absolutely everything else down.

I’ve lost count of how many posts I’ve replied to, gone to check out later and see it’s been removed for some reason or another. Usually low effort/low quality, which is apparently just a blanket term for… just about anything.

Gently remove your heads from your asses and let people talk about their favourite bands. Just because you personally think it might not be the amazing high-brow academic discussion about a band who named their breakout album after shit, doesn’t mean it’s not creating conversation for someone out there. Some of us like engaging over the templates going round other subs. Some of us like a little low-effort every now and then. To quote the onion: not every movie has to be Schindler’s fucking List. Not every post has to be the fucking Mona Lisa.

Hang on, I’ll say the only two things you’re allowed to say on this sub to make sure you don’t delete my post: warning is underrated, one minute.

          You are all a bunch of sick freaks

            r/selfhosted crashout

            A reddit user crashes out after seeing the average setup of users on r/selfhosted.

            I stumbled onto this subreddit looking for tips on running a basic Plex server, and holy shit, you people are insane. Instead of finding normal humans, I find complete psychos debating ZFS configurations like they're discussing fine wine. "Ah yes, this RAIDZ2 has subtle notes of data integrity.” You are all a bunch of sick vitamin D deficient freaks.

I actually work with and manage multiple Kubernetes, mission critical infrastructure that actually matters. I spend my entire day working with containerised applications, and what do I find when I load up Reddit? Ansible playbook writing maniacs trying to automate their light switches. You are all a bunch of sick freaks who probably dream in YAML and wake up in cold sweats wondering if you forgot to enable that cron job

The worst part is how you enable each other. "Hey guys, just finished my basic home automation setup", and then you post a system diagram that looks like the blueprint for a nuclear reactor. Fourteen Docker containers just to manage a suite of 'internet of things connected shitware. You celebrate each others descent into madness with vomit inducing comments like "Nice setup! Have you considered adding Prometheus monitoring?" You are all a bunch of sick freaks, you make me ill.

And the money you guys must spaff away... you've somehow convinced yourself that spending thousands on enterprise server equipment from 2012 is justified as it was originally 10x the cost. And then you refer to it as “your little setup". "Oh this? Just my Dual mirrored RAID 10 arrays with triple redundant UPS and backup diesel generator that kicks in if the power flickrs for more than 3 milliseconds. You know, for my Linux ISO collection" Meanwhile your electricity meter spins so fast it could probably generate its own electricity. You are all a bunch of sick freaks, and you need help.

I take solace in imagining what your home lives are like, I laugh as I imagine your families, having to sit through dinner listening to you explain why running Pi-hole with Unbound is superior to forwarding to Cloudflare. I bet your kids start crying when you mention DNS-over-HTTPS. Your wife just stares at you now, especially since you've replaced all your family photos with Grafana dashboards.

I imagine you boiling over when when the women you made vows to asks "why can’t we just go back to using iCloud" when your precious self-hosted photo library goes down during your third Photoprism upgrade this week. They completely ignore your ‘impressive’ (97% lol) uptime statistics and offsite backups. You are all a bunch of sick freaks, and your loved ones are losing hope.

No, you don't need Kubernetes or 10gig network switches or 7u rack. You don't need any of these increasingly abstract layers of complexity that exist only to solve the problems created by your previous solutions. Your simple file server didn't need containers, those containers didn't need orchestration, that orchestration didn't need a service mesh, Yet here you are, staring at 10,000 lines of YAML, wondering if maybe just one more helm chart would finally make it all perfect. But I know you'll keep adding more, because you're all just a bunch of sick freaks.
