The famous post “I shat myself in my maths exam” has been deleted
Heartbreaking. Gone but not forgotten - its memory lives on
The fact that the equal pay debate in football between men and women still exists is something I can’t get my head around. It’s such simple logic that men should earn more as they make way more. The debate is embarrassing.
His last very solid project, MMLP2 has a mixed type of songs, and I appreciate how unique this project is. I do dislike a lot of songs though, which is why this placement may be lower than expected.
Rating: 7/10
With the great production by Dr Dre accompanied by some extremely heart-touching and thought-provoking tracks, there’s a reason why this album’s reputation has taken a U turn.
Rating: 7.5/10
The hunger from Eminem, actual good hooks and so many hits on this album, I’m confused why this once very positively reviewed album is now seen as average for many.
Rating: 7.5/10
Has a great mix of raw and edgy moments mixed in with more serious songs - very influential for a reason.
Rating: 8/10
The same as Slim Shady LP, but MMLP has better production, no skips (if you don’t like Kim you need to man up) and more classics.
Rating: 8.5/10
It’s so close between TES and MMLP. but I think TES just about has more 10/10 songs, also has no skips and is a bit more palatable. It’s one of my favourite albums ever.
Rating: 8.5/10
also the album ratings are done by ranking all the songs and dividing them by the amount of songs (rating of songs are done on various factors) and these all include the deluxe versions of these albums, including Relapse: Refill and MTBMB: Side B.
Finally, here is the playlist of all songs I rated a 9 or 10: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0x95WAbSYXC86
From inspiration from @dood, I want to rank albums from my favourite artists. In the first rankings, I have done Eminem, who is the first artist I ever listened to. Next up will be Kanye, who is my favourite artist of all time.
Here is the first half of the list:
From the pop and rock, to the poor singles and even shocking flows (this is Eminem’s best skill normally), Revival is an embarrassment under any name of a top selling rapper.
Rating: 3.5/10
Whilst MTBMB has some highlights like Godzilla and Zeus on the side B, most the tracks I thought were either bad or mediocre, making for a very average and underwhelming project overall.
Rating: 5/10
Again, there is some highlights like Mockingbird and there are a few good songs, but it’s the 5 horrendous songs that make this album average.
Rating: 5/10
I like most tracks on his latest album, but the couple of bad tracks, added on top of sloppy storytelling and some unforgiveable bars makes an album that could’ve been so good, just one that’s “above average” for me.
Rating: 6.5/10
Personally his most underrated album - I love the aggression on this one, but it is also filled with sub-par love songs and obnoxious hooks.

Hot take: Fines should be based on your income. The bigger your income, the bigger the fine.
Fines are something used to discourage someone doing something, but it’s hardly discouraging for a millionaire who can happily take a parking ticket whenever they like, they aren’t above the law.
wait i’m the fucking national intelligence man
HUMINT, or otherwise known as Human Intelligence, which is a part of the national intelligence department, will now be deploying spies on public aeroplanes to see if anyone claps when the plane lands. If/when people do clap, that person (if identified) will be completely and forever cleared as being a national threat as that person is obviously loopy and is no threat to our nation.
HOT TAKE: clapping when planes land is really dumb
the pilot did it’s job? Woohoo. Was he expected to crash?

I avoid talking about politics on here, I leave that to the discussion channel in ta's hangout. But since it's engulfed some of the folks I follow and it's also on my mind, I want to say something. So, this is your warning, politics ahead:
The current far-right, racist riots in the UK (mainly in England and some in Northern Ireland, luckily hasn't spread to my home of Scotland nor Wales yet) are harrowing, and shows how we've been failed by so many groups. The previous Tory government that used immigration as a fearmongering tool to stay in power, ironic now that islamophobes are yelling "stop the boats" while attacking Mosques. Or Nigel Farage who eagerly stoked the flames but then denies all accountability for holding the match by using a tragedy for his own political gain, plus all the other far-right losers like Andrew Tate or Tommy Robinson who is continuing to encourage violence while he sunbathes in Cyprus. Or the gutter press like The Daily Mail, The Daily Express, The Sun, or all the other news orgs who were too scared to call out their peers’ rhetoric that lead us here. Social media also has to answer for allowing misinfo to spread.
To those still suffering from the riots, please stay safe, this is a dark time for the UK, but tonight has given me hope, massive crowds of counter protesters in cities like London have scared off the far-right thugs, in Brighton there are thousands of anti-racist & anti-fascist protesters to 3-4 of the far-right. There is hope.
The riots in the UK are absolutely disgusting.
Particularly when they can use a tragic story like the murders in Southport of 3 young girls not long ago, and twist the story to fit their dangerous narratives and to pin it on immigrants and Muslims (even though the attacker was born in Cardiff, and wasn’t a Muslim!)
And then especially when their utterly useless protests are a lot worse than what immigrants are doing - do immigrants come here and burn police stations and apartments with asylum seekers in? Do they throw wood planks at police officers?
I find it so ironic that this entire debacle is also putting more pressure on emergency services, like the NHS. I wonder what group makes up about a quarter of the NHS!
Immigration is not the leading issue in the UK. It’s not even that big of an issue. Of course, Illegal immigrants should not be allowed to enter the country, but I think most people agree with that. But people coming into the country, to work, to help out the emergency services, who contribute to the UK economy I’m all for. EU Immigrants coming to UK contributed £8.8 billion more than they gained from 1991-2011.
So the riots are disgusting + immigrants aren’t the big issue + fuck tommy robinson
I wish people could learn that just because one person commented about something that may be “controversial”, doesn’t mean they need to talk about other controversies.
Not like my post was even controversial, literally just led to some interesting discussions which is totally fine.
I think in the past year I’ve been way too harsh on the Scratch Team.
There’s obvious serious issues at the company that are either not specific departments faults (eg it’s not the development departments fault they haven’t been adding features) or are either no one’s fault.
the development team used to have 18 permanent engineers. Now they have 3. I assume this is mainly from the layoffs not too long ago, which could’ve just been to cut costs. When Scratch Team member @wheelsonfire were asked about the layoffs, he said that the company had disagreements with leadership, leading to 4 executive directors in 5 years. This isn’t any of the departments fault.
The Scratch Team made a 6 million loss in 2023. They spent basically the same as 2022 (300K loss), but got way less revenue (over 5 million less!) they are very obviously underfunded.
So I think I and others need to cut some slack for the team. Since if this year and best they also make big losses, I’m struggling to see how Scratch can even survive and exist.
I am now on the Beta/Alpha explore pages!
Thank you for 90 followers and the support guys I really appreciate it.
Hopefully 100 followers could be coming soon!
Boxer Imane Khelif, a boxer competing in the Women’s category, beat Angela Carini after 46 seconds and only a few punches. Angela then broke down in tears afterwards and said it was “the hardest she has ever been hit”
Imane was banned from 2023 tournaments, as she has higher testosterone levels compared to other females. (I honestly don’t even know what her sex is at the moment, I think she’s intersex but a lot of people are saying she is a biological male)
But anyway, having a higher testosterone means she has a huge advantage with strength and muscle mass so do you believe it is unfair for her to compete?
One of the best to do it - congrats on 9 years, I really look forward to your awesome projects and the server is top-notch. Also, i’m looking forward for TeamAuri to celebrate the upcoming win
If you follow my main @da-ta you may have just saw that I mentioned that my da-ta Scratch account turns 9 years old today. On the 30th July 2015 I made da-ta on Scratch, that was the first time I ever used that username ever, I came up with it randomly because I thought it sounded cool. Who knew I’d still be using it and going by it almost 10 years later? da-ta was my first Scratch account, I had used Scratch 1.4 since around 2011 in school until I learnt there was a online community, so I uploaded my first project, a remake of The Sims 4 (which sucks) that I had to retro fit into Scratch 2.0 from 1.4. It’s now got like 70K views (idk why, was not featured or anything lol). For years I swung back and forth between bad games, animations, music, and then eventually I started making bad designs, I stuck with that until 9 years later I am mildly better at design, made more accounts like da-ta2 and Auriali (that’s me!) along the way, made a Discord with now almost 200 people, now do a podcast with 2 other awesome designers who started on Scratch, and a whole lot more. If you told 2015 this is what would’ve happened (and that I’d make an account where I joke about being a girl who is more powerful than the universe itself for no reason) then I wouldn’t have believed you, but here I am. Thank you for all the support, whether it’s on Scratch, on my Discord ta’s hangout, or here on wasteof, I appreciate it!
P.S. Vote for insanity, vote for Auri!
