Not a rifle. A blunderbuss. It's an owl with a goddamned shotgun.

I have no idea why it would be called a renovator, much less a pox.
Though it could be a fairly obscure reference to "regulator", as per Steven King.
Also, calling that thing a shotgun seems... technically accurate.
Which is the best kind of accurate.

So, I've been playing poxnora for some weeks now, and its pretty damn fun, but just recently I realized that there's a card that is literally a fairy riding a corgi.

Also, an owl with a rifle.

Going out for more beer, I experiment.
"Okay Google" *boop* "... Play me some music"
After a second music starts playing... but it's not from the huge library I have stored...
Oh, it's Google Play streaming some Wiz Khalifa :/

Rap can be good, but this particular track is shit.

Oh well, at least this suggests that there are limits to how well Google knows me.

Edit: "Play me some Prodigy" worked better... I think it's pulling from my stored music.
Hell, for all I know I actually had that Wiz Khalifa track locally.  I have a folder from my brother, some parts of which I like.

Rap can be good
You wash your mouth out with soap! :-X

"i have never made an effort to find an example of something that i like in a large style of media so i have made an ill-formed opinion about it and will force it on others"

like, I don't listen to rap at all, but i definitely know of more than five rap songs that i will most definitely listen to and enjoy, none of which i know the names of (though I think I could scrounge one up by google-fu)

Really, I say I don't like rap, but mostly I don't like the SUBJECT MATTER of rap.
The stuff that's rap but isn't all gangs and drugs and killificating is pretty good, at leaast judging by the HS album that may or may not be proper rap.

* Arcvasti shrugs

I can't speak for rap music, most of the stuff I regularly hear ambiently is either shit or meh, but I must admit to being rather partial to rap battles, ERB in particular.

Is it more condescending to directly argue with someone, or to tell them what they should think with no explanation?

Well, acceptance of your ignorance is the first step to enlightenment.  :P

Not that I'm rolling with a phat librizzle of beats, but there is good hip-hop.

Outkast, Mos Def, Mackelmore, even Eminem when he's not trying to just be the rap equivalent of Marilyn Manson.

And Chinese rap can be epic. Especially given the homophonic nature of Mandarin, there are some truly inspired lyrical masterpieces.

"Do the impossible, see the invisible" :P
And other less silly examples.  It's more impressive and pure as improv, though :P

There's even good country music, without even counting proto-rock stuff.  I sing Country Roads at least once whenever I'm on a long drive home...

Heck, I consider it a personal failing that my music collection isn't even more diverse.  Having preferences is fine, but I'm sure there are a lot of gems I haven't found yet because of their genre!

Yeah, right. Condescend at me! It's not like I have any idea what I'm talking about. ::)

Oh dear, this is more serious than I thought ):
Rap music is essentially telling stories lyrically, to a certain type of beat.  There's nothing wrong with the beat, and I *love* rock which tells stories (Phish, Grateful Dead, Nightwish...)

There are some stories I think are cheap pandering shit, like "I have a billion dollars and fuck bitches" or "I killed a dozen people I'm so badass".  That's a lot of gangster rap.  But a lot of rap tackles issues in a realistic way and confronts people with them.  And other rap is just fun.

Really, I say I don't like rap, but mostly I don't like the SUBJECT MATTER of rap.
The stuff that's rap but isn't all gangs and drugs and killificating is pretty good, at leaast judging by the HS album that may or may not be proper rap.
