    Tunes that Spawned a Thousand Imitators

    Resulted in gazillions of imitations, known as "Eurodance" on the continent. Defined the European charts (to be exact, the German charts) well into the late 90s. The recipe: keep it in the 115-130 BPM range, use some vocal samples from 60s/70s soul records (female singers), a mandatory Rap part...

    how much do you drink in a normal week?

    For alcohol in small amounts this is very likely true. My grandmother, who drank one glass of (mostly) mild red wine in the evenings reached the age of 95 years. A lot of her female friends with the same consume patterns got into the high 80s/90s too. A sidenote: it's somewhat telling that a...

    Jeremy Corbyn

    Possibly that well known reluctance of -some- left wingers to use and embrace power. While a typical conservative can't get enough of it.

    Is voting for the far-right a form of gambling?

    Well, but he was supposed to win the majority. All the right wing cheerleaders were screaming it from their virtual rooftops (=youtube, twitter etc), and the media outlets were reporting that possibility as well. Of course, the "but he won some extra seats" argument was quickly used by the...

    Is voting for the far-right a form of gambling?

    Especially the Trump victory and the following 24-7 ongoing show of incompetence *might* have deterred some people in the Netherlands actually voting for Wilders, a very similar type to Trump (and the other populists).

    Is voting for the far-right a form of gambling?

    While there are several motives for voting for right wing parties, and skimming through your link I'd say it's more referring to the right wing populists (of course we have to deal with blurry lines here) of late, I wouldn't call it "gambling". Yes, there are clearly many people pretty desperate...

    Stock, Aitken, Waterman

    How horrible were they? I remember as a kid, early teen that stuff dominated the charts. I remember those songs as pretty horrible. Did they do something at least half-assed decent?

    how much do you drink in a normal week?

    Being the brother of a wine grower and involved in the wine trade a bit it's a bit difficult to avoid the actual drinking. However, it's good (on the one side) this wine business is a bit on the posh side and so I never get drunk really, bc that's not something you're supposed to do within these...

    Nick Land and Neocameralism

    But freedom of speech was never absolutely universal (it has always been restricted by certain laws) and even liberal western democracies usually take measures to protect istself via laws targeting those trying to undermine its basic principles. Those rights you mention have never been infinite...

    Nick Land and Neocameralism

    That crashing of the unions was indeed a capitalist plot, that was one of the main aims of Thatcher and her admirers. That identity politics were well played by Trump and the Brexiteers (and other right wing populists) should be public knowledge by now...
