That's what I have been sayin'!

I grew up in Amish country in PA and I know for a fact that all of those pesticides that the Amish aren't using (they use them) ended up polluting the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. General manure runoff is a problem as well.

Regardless, of organic or not - many problems crop up out here in the West in the form of water consumption. Obviously, we don't have much water to spare - but CA is always taking more and more water to grow crops that require enormous amounts of water, like avocados. One avocado takes about 18.5 gallons of water to grow - that said, an average american shower costs about as much a day if it's 8 minutes long (17.5); which I also see as a problem. Not to mention that CA also produces a shit ton of America's beef (#4). 80% of all of CA (which is like a country) water use is agricultural. I just think that CA (it might all burn to the ground anyway) needs to stop supporting the grocery needs of america (spread it out!) and stop wasting so much water that a lot of other states in the west need. It's a whole other Chinatown film that should be created to represent what is going on.

Yes you can. I know because I really liked those gummy bear vitamins, so tasty mmmm and had to look it up (they are potentially dangerous if you eat em like candy).

VR needs more fractal/mandelbrot simulations!

Yeah I completely disagree with performance. I'm all about well recorded albums. I couldn't give a shit if it can be performed live, they don't call it "recording arts" for no reason, recording/ mixing/ engineering is an art! Look at My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless" - an album that is highly regarded and cost so much to engineer that it put a well known record label out of business. It took them 20 years or so to be able to perform that album live.

I remember seeing on the sift not too long ago an After Effects presentation on some magic they have in the next version which completely removed some element in a moving shot with birds and shit all around it with ease. This sort of thing will be the norm in no time.

Most sensible thing I've seen you say.

My dong needs socks too.

I think most artists / musicians / creative types know the secret of "letting go". You could redo, reiterate, keep working your way into a never-ending non-productivity loop. The most important aspect is the idea, work hard on it, polish it up and then get it out / let it the fuck go.

One of my fav records of all time because it sounds fucking awesome / unparalleled.

Nice, this was a great video to watch while eating breakfast, lol

keep on judging in the free world, Judgy McFarland.

That looks tasty. Boiling Kale and adding it into soup is also really good. It's amazing how shite kale tastes unless you cook it somehow and then it springs it's flavor.

God damn, watching this makes me feel bad for my veins.

reminds me of an expanded version of this Flying Lotus song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=higMmAiCxBY lol
