Then you can celebrate at 2:03PM…

Yeah, and π is 3.141592654…, so if you round up to the nearest ten millionth it’s actually 3.1415927

Sorry OP, gotta wait till next year…

Does that give him any more agency in what transpires between his record label and the venues where he’s booked?

You realize their record labels hold all their IP, don’t you? So they cut loose and go indie and build a venue. What happens when their old label tells them they can’t play any of their music?

Some companies offer modular batteries, so instead of buying like one big 15kWh battery, you can get 3 5kWh batteries. And there’s usually a cabinet or server rack where you can put them together.

That way it’s more scalable and easier to add capacity. And when it’s time to upgrade or replace them, you can do that in smaller steps instead of all at once.

His record label had the leverage and chose not to use it. There’s very little say the artists themselves actually have in these kinds of things.

It doesn’t even sound like it’s his decision. Seriously, how much agency do people really think musicians have over their performances, venues, lineups, etc.? That’s all handled by record labels, agents, managers, etc.

If the venue says “not so-and-so” and the record label says “okay,” there’s literally jack-shit that the headliner can do about it…

Next time they should use thermite…

Because they were using the r-slur? That only makes sense. It’s against the community rules, is it not? The mods here never claimed to be free speech absolutists.

If you think the problem here is that people aren’t allowed to use the r-slur, you completely missed the point of the article.

The hypocrisy is the main issue. This admin cries about how people can’t say the r-slur anymore, and then they get butthurt and threaten abuses of power when it’s used against them.

Weaponizing the FBI against some jerks on the internet is a huge part of the problem too. Enforcing conduct and language standards falls on content moderation teams, not federal law enforcement. That doesn’t mean the whole internet should be the wild west. Unless you’re okay with nazis spouting hate? Because that’s what you’ll get with free speech absolutism.

So honestly I really don’t get you’re point. Should the mods not remove comments that use slurs, and ban repeat offenders?

Do you say the same thing when someone uses the n-slur, f-slur, c-slur, b-slur, s-slur, w-slur, or any other slurs?

Wrong use of pedantry…

Are you even really a metal fan if you don’t examine your cadmium under a microscope?

“Free speech absolutists” except when their feelings get hurt…

Unless they care about things like countering human trafficking and get into it because they legitimately want to stop evil people and save lives or rescue innocents…

The reason good people don’t need rules is because they wouldn’t violate them even if they did. Using that to rationalize being a jerk is misapplying it.

If you’re a “good man,” you wouldn’t be using the r-slur in the first place. The exact cognitive dissonance which allows fascists to be fascists is that they believe themselves to be good people and therefore don’t need rules. But instead of actually being good people, they use this as an excuse to be terrible to others.

Simple as, innit bruv?

That’s very considerate of them. I wish that was the norm everywhere.

I love this picture, because nobody is wasting time wringing their hands about the impropriety, they’re all just doing what they see as needing to be done. Whether it’s the guy speaking, the one handing him notes, the people yelling at him or trying to physically stop him from speaking, or the people defending him with their bodies and physically holding back the ones trying to stop him.

The sense of duty is on full display from all sides in this image, and everyone is doing it with a sense of decorum too. A breach of procedure for sure, but who can say anyone in this photo doesn’t look in total possession of themselves?

¿Porque no los dos?

It should come out of their operating budget.
