    I am a Slavic Orthodox Christian of noble birth. I am interested in art and music in particular. Perhaps the most important thing to say about myself on this site is that I reject the modernist plebeian autonomous aesthetics with its “art for the sake of art” (in fact, "art for the sake of the destruction of traditional society pretending to be art").
    Aesthetics are only part of a higher degree - ethics. Art is needed for the emotional service of morals and people, and good art is good service. Therefore, I reject all plebeian aesthetic canons established in the 18th-19th centuries and prefer the traditional, above-mentioned view of art. Golden canon instead of experiments for the sake of experiments, order instead of chaos, mimesis instead of degenerative abstraction, beauty and emotionality instead of cold and detached pseudo-complexity, seriousness and partly sentimentality instead of annoying tasteless irony, aesthetic value of the composition instead of the artist’s personality / self-expression, the melody instead of a set of unusually structured sounds, necessary in some cases emotional pomp instead of the philistine cult of moderation for the sake of moderation.
    Music is no exception - traditional western harmonies and beautiful melodies instead of experiments with sound and rhythm. I am a supporter of the musical hierarchy, I think that some styles / genres are superior and some degenerate by themselves. Despite this / because of this (which you prefer) I try to be as objective as possible when I rate records, minimizing the subjective factor, although not always possible. Proceeding from this, I adhere to the simple rule “just as the things that we intuitively like are really good, and the fact that we don’t like it doesn’t mean that it’s bad,” which has ethical-aesthetic roots.
    I also appreciate the mainstream above the underground, because the mainstream, despite all its flaws and simplifications, historically have much more in common with traditional noble culture than the underground, which grew out of degenerative cancerous ideas of XVIII-XIX centuries, especially marxist ones. So, my rule is “Very many things in the mainstream are bad, but all really good things are necessarily in the mainstream”. All the good stuff that is in the underground sooner or later goes to the mainstream, and in a better way. In a sense, I have a Tolstoyan view of art (but only on art, otherwise Tolstoy is not my cup of tea). Truly ingenious things always strive for simplicity and accessibility, even if they are difficult to perform - to consolidate their position in culture. Mediocrity is always trying to confuse, "experiment", shock, destroy, talk about "progress" and "originality" - in order to disguise the lack of real talent.
    Based on this, my assessments may not always coincide with the canons of RYM, which adhere to the philistine modernist / postmodern aesthetics purely intuitively. Those, for example, I put high ratings to the avant-garde only in an ironic context and I can consider as true art what the philistines call the blurry and ridiculous word "cheesy" or "kitsch" (an attempt to recreate traditional art).

    P.S. English grammar is a terrifying thing, especially when you are not a native speaker. Perhaps this is not the best excuse, but ... i have no other.
    But in general, it is good not to be a native speaker of English - it is much easier for me to focus on the music itself (which is my goal) and to separate the music/vocal perfomance from the lyrics. Most of my ratings are set in accordance with this feature, with rare exceptions.
    I almost never care about lyrics, because in most songs, lyrics and poetry range from banal to damn terrible (even in "deep" songs) - the song format, by definition, can not contain something even remotely interesting to an educated person. In my reviews, I will rarely mention the lyrics - only if it is ridiculously awful and contrasts with, in general, good musicality of the whole song.

    P.S.S. And simple chain in the end. Autonomous aesthetics is a myth of Enlightenment and Romanticism, it does not exist. Good taste in art is a moral quality. The highest morality is Christian. Therefore, the anti-Christian has a shitty taste by definition.

    I can’t think of a more egregious example of government-sponsored socialism than the public library. Unproductive citizens without two nickels to rub together are given access to millions of books they could never afford to buy on their own -- all paid for with the tax dollars of productive citizens. Does the government pay for people to rent tuxedos for free, sail boats for free, or play golf for free? No, it does not. So why should it pay for people to read books and surf the Internet for free?

    The free market should be left alone to distribute books and computers to those who have earned them. With libraries handing out free books, is it any wonder Borders went out of business? Libraries are also repositories for out-of-print books which can no longer make it in the marketplace. Gary can no longer afford to keep its main library open, but you don't see the state bailing it out. That's because Indiana is a business-friendly place that knows how to balance its budget.

    In addition, libraries are often used by the homeless to warm themselves during the winter, or to nap during aimless afternoons which might better be spent looking for a job. Advocates of public libraries cite them as “community gathering spaces” -- but can’t the market provide those spaces, too?

    As the author of three books, I obviously have a grudge against libraries because they enable the public to consume my work without paying for it. Every time someone checks one of my books out of the library, that’s money out of my pocket. There are 79 public libraries in Chicago. If there were 79 filling stations dispensing free gasoline, don’t you think the oil industry would complain? You bet it would, and it would probably get those stations shut down, because the Petroleum Institute has a much better-funded lobbying arm than the Authors’ Guild.

    If the public libraries can’t generate enough revenue to support themselves, they should be closed. Well, not entirely. There is one book that everyone in Chicago deserves to read: Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand. Perhaps we can all borrow a copy at City Hall.

    “If one times one equals one, that means that two is of no value because one times itself has no effect. One times one equals two because the square root of four is two, so what’s the square root of two? Should be one, but we’re told it’s two, and that cannot be.”

    I KNOW A LOT ABOUT BICYCLES! MOST OF THEM HAVE 2 WHEELS, A SET OF HANDLEBARS, A SEAT, SOME HAVE FENDERS, SOME DON'T AND ALL ARE POWERED BY EITHER MAN,WOMAN, BOY, GIRL OR OTHER.

    BUT MY GIRLFRIEND HAD 1 IN COLLEGE (KENT STATE, DURING THE "INCIDENT") AND WANTS ANOTHER 1.

    I HAVE NO IDEA, WHAT KIND, GEARS, SIZE OF WHAT SHE HAD, NOR WOULD SHE. ALL SHE KNOWS WAS THAT IT WAS A TAKARA.

    IF YOU WERE TO SELL IT HOW MUCH WOULD YOU WANT FOR IT.

    I WILL BE SITTING DOWN WHEN I READ YOUR RESPONSE AND IT WON'T HURT IF I FALL OVER, SO YOU CAN TYPE THE ENTIRE PRICE AT ONE TIME.

    ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS IS A DIE HARD BIKE ENTHUSIEST OF BETTER THAN 35 YEARS AND IT TAKES MY BREATHE AWAY WHEN HE TELLS ME WHAT ANY 1 OF HIS 3 COST, MUCH LESS WHAT THE EXPENSIVE ONES COST.

    THANKS
    ROBERT

    I wasn't bullied in school though many tried with me who didnt know me. When I was named called I nipped it at the bud real quick, which brought be many squabbles. But having fought so much gave me the confidence I have today. I walk with my back head up, my chest out and my shoulders straight because of my bravery. Most people are just bluffing. They're just trying to get their own head pumped up at the expense of doing onto others. But when I met them at their action, they almsot always backed down thus putting their asses back in their place. Many times it was significantly larger guys than I.
    I was always ready for a beat down. I always excepted the fact that I may get my ass kicked and a few times I did but I didnt give a shit either way. The way I saw it is that I'd rather get my ass kicked than let mother fkers walk all over me. I was small back then in Highschool but I had gained a reputation that mufuckers were welcome to try with me but it definitely wasn't going to cost them.

    Congratulations, you got a reaction from users. That's what you wanted right? Well, I've decided I don't like people like you. You've messed with the community of the wrong psychopath. Before you get excited, you haven't even made me angry. I am a hard person to make angry. However, I despise people like you. Your pitiful hacking skills are hilarious. Hacking accounts and putting up proxies are level 1. Can you hack encrypted files? Can you tear through firewalls without leaving a mark? Your silly little proxy won't protect you. I have hacked into many computers and spied on the users. I've hacked into games. I've been hacking since I had a computer. It's what I was raised to do. You have no idea to the extent of fear which you should be feeling. All you are is just a community of internet creeps. Have you ever murdered anyone? I have no empathy and I will probably feel joy peeling your skin off your face. You think I'm giving you an empty threat? Believe that. I have contacts in dark places that you don't want to know about. If you live even close to me you better fear for your life. Track my IP if you want to, but I am smart enough to use a library computer. Hack into my account if you want, but it'll just make it easier for me to track you.

    With love,

    A psychopath

    It's like the Navy Seals copypasta but it's getting its head dunked into a toilet.
