Dr. Dre || Still D.R.E.

[t00thpasteface]

call me easily amused, but i always get a kick out of it when someone's playing the piano here on campus and they go from fur elise to still d.r.e.

If someone next to you in bed needed to go to sleep an hour ago the most important thing you can do is start talking about a bad movie trailer you saw in a really excited tone of voice and then just keep going and going and letting the facade crumble a little more with each sentence until you’re actively disparaging the cast and she has to remind you she has work in the morning

Can we have a songs-mod-is-surprised-didn’t-make-it-into-the-poll poll?

Oh absolutely, plenty of picks for that! (many due to the two-two-song-per-artist constraint):

Maybe also Alive by Pearl Jam, Come As You Are by Nirvana, Return of the Mack by Mark Morrison? Obviously there are way more - this tournament could've been double the size and we still wouldn't have enough space for all the songs!

We need to have an honest conversation about automated censorship.

My son, who's ten, has wanted to share facts about the animal kingdom and made videos we shared on tiktok. Two of them have been censored and their appeal has been denied.

I'll share the videos.

First is a video about peacock feathers.

-This ban is fine right? We should have community guidelines that forbid the use of cock right? There is no way kids would need a way to access information about their body in a safe way, they should learn all that in school or ask a professional, they can all do that right? And besides birdnames are really pornographic in nature, that's hilarious, why would they name something big breasted tits and cock something? They obviously were horny and we can't have kids learn about things in nature that were discovered by horny people, right? /s

The second is a video about how female ostriches steal eggs from other nests.

-Robbery is a felony and kids should obviously be shielded from crime, punishable offenses is not something kids should see on the internet and it really is a good thing to censor something like that right? The language around crime should apply to humans and not nature, the ostrich isn't a thief and hasn't committed a crime. Why don't they call it something else, like some abstract detached science name so it's not confusing for kids? Besides there is no need for kids to know about crime, otherwise they'll just start committing them! Right? /s

The third video that was censored was a video we made from a tiktok template, you fill in the clips you want and the template adds the sound made from Dr. Dre's song, Still D.R.E. So thinking this would be acceptable we added the usual text and hashtags we've been using.

The fourth one was because using an animated sticker of a fox reading a book to cover my game of thrones t-shirt that read 'All men must die' which I thought was poor taste of me to show, I thought I would be facing the child more and the text wouldn't be as visible. Hence I self censored and with good reason, to hide something in poor taste that wasn't fitting for kids. However the fox in question (not available in the stickers catalog it seems so I replaced it for the next closest sticker) was over my chest. So the the red orange moving ears must have been automatically flag as nudity. So I tried changing my type of censorship and made it into white text on black background with the words 'reading is the best'. Same hashtags, hundreds of views immediately.

Reposting these banned videos on Instagram and no obvious censorship, our followers at least got to see it.

I went to a friend’s house for NYE. I know him from high school, and he went on to major in aeronautical engineering. He bought it about a year ago during the low interest property bubble while working at a startup and then quit to do his own music-related startup, and I have no idea how he’s making payments now that interest rates are higher and I’m not about to ask.

I did notice that he put up the Amazon cop camera outside his front door, and the Google wiretaps in the rooms with the most foot traffic, much to my dismay. It was my first time interacting with the wiretaps in depth, and a few friends and I were repeatedly disappointed when they steered us towards commercial works even when we specified otherwise. We asked for songs that were playable with ads on Youtube, and we got unrelated works on the music streaming subscription of choice, Apple, even when we asked for the former. We tried to initiate speech synthesis of publicly available ebooks (Viking sagas, Beowulf in Old English) and got fantasy novels from Audible in “free sample” segments.

As someone who drinks to excess and has problems falling asleep, I was one of the last four awake around 4 AM. Our group included the male half of the hosts. Being annoyed at the wiretap’s inability to parse speech like ChatGPT, we began to recite phrases like “Hey Google, play traffic noises at 6 AM”, “Hey Google, play lawnmower sounds at 7 AM”, “Hey Google, play barn noises at 8 AM”, “Hey Google, play Still D.R.E. at 4:20 PM on April 20th”, and “Hey Google, play 10 Commandments by Prince Buster at 11 PM on February 14th”, under the unspoken assumption that our host would disable the alarms before he fell asleep. Ultimately, I retired to the unfinished basement where there were no wiretaps because I was too late to claim a bedroom like everybody else.

I got up from my air mattress around noon, groggy eyed and hung over, and tried to make a request of the wiretap, upon which I was informed that they had all been unplugged because once an alarm is set on one, it plays on every single wiretap in the house.
