  There were no individual that invented capitalism. However, the closest individual that likely is the perpetrator to modern stage capitalism is a scottish philosopher Adam Smith. So, I would say him. I'd also include Henry Ford, who pushed for the idea of 40 hour work weeks and 5 days a week.

  Whether you were born through it or learned about it. Mine is the 2000s. It was a very mean-spirited decade with very crude forms of weirdness thrown in between. It birthed communities like 4chan, SomethingAwful and Reddit. Where, these communities harbored some of the most degenerative behavior and content the internet has seen. They all predate later communities such as KiwiFarms, where it was seen acceptable to post racial, xenophobic, misogynistic content as well as turn select peopl...

  I think people just like their logos and brand first and music last except 'Touch of Grey'.

  They only seem to release music if they think it'll do nothing but make major success through radio and appease record labels. See their song 'Thunder'.

  Agreed. I mean, I felt like AC/DC focused more on brand recognition when Brian Johnson took over after Bon Scott died. Their music were aiming for radio appeal, not that no musician should because it means being successful, but it almost was formulaic. Thunderstruck for example, became a staple for sports soundtracks and stadium like events. And they're a victim of their own success as you've talked here, where someone who didn't grow up with the band, will only focus on the popu...

  Nn...no. Just because people are going to be forced to choose China, doesn't make them good. You should be good based on providing the best and with how China recently handled GPUs, I'm remaining skeptical in their practices.

  Thanks. I don't really know why it is so hard for people to post things like this in the beginning. It's just a way to annoy us because they should know we all don't intend to pay some subscription to read news.

  19 is not a 'kid'. Sorry of having to be that guy, but he was already an adult, a young adult at that.

  That's why AI fails, it is because it's an intelligence that is fueled by the incredulously devious thoughts of man. Just like the idea of God. Only Man can create things like a God or an AI and pump his fundamental flaws and cunning nature into them.

  ALEXANDRIA, VA — Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She passed away

  You could really say that for a lot of bands like them, honestly. That's why almost any classic rock band can only think of that one song from that one band.

  Gene Simmons is a bastard who recently played down Ace Frehley's death. KISS just never did it for me, I only liked maybe three songs from them. All that they were ever capable of, musically, was write songs about just plain love and cheesy at that. They were mostly a cheesy band just decked out in a gimmick more than anything and they merchandised the hell out of themselves for years. Nothing was off limits. But that didn't make the music any better.

  Metal does not always need to be about screaming lyrics, fast-paced instrumentals and catchy solos and riffs. It comes in a lot of forms. If you were expecting Ghost to be yet another band where the vocalist is barking lyrics or wailing them whichever, the instrumental to be just plain heavy, then yeah I can see why you're disappointed. Also Arena-Rock is quite frankly a more horrible thing to classify them as. They just simply don't fit that mold whereas Journey would.

  You will find that it is quite a more peaceful time, compared to now.
