I see the 1960s and 1970s was a high point for popular music. In my view, the late 60s struck a perfect balance, where just the right artists became popular at the right time. People had moved beyond the overly polished crooner overly sanatiz music of the 20s to 40s and the somewhat pretentious but restrained rock rebellion of the 50s, maker by people like Elvis and Little Richard. At the same time we had ‘ot yet entered the era of the overly commercialized 80s pop that began with MTV and artists like Madonna, which pretty music continues to dominate the music scene today.

Motown and The Supremes, The Beatles, The Doors, The Kinks, and The Mamas and the Papas, Jimi Hendrix emerged during this stretch in the 60s as well, and it continued on as in the 70s you had Marvin Gaye, Bowie and The Bee Gees, so I think it all just came together at the perfect moment.

This is also why around the time the Wall of Sound technique was becoming incredibly popular. Studio tech had developed just enough by then that the recordings don't sound nearly as dated anything pre 1965 but still doesn’t have that artificial music video sound that became prominent in the early 80s and stayed mainstream until maybe the 2000s.

First of all ignore anyone that tries to get you to pay them restore your account, I tried that route and it goes nowhere, its a scam.

Three-ish months ago, my nearly nine-year-old Instagram account was hit with a the automated "Account Integrity" check. For weeks, the app kept crashing every time I tried to upload my ID to verify who I was. When the system finally let me submit the document, it instantly rejected it and permanently disabled my profile within a few hours. I was completely locked out, with no option to appeal and no human to review my, it said it was a final decision.

I waw desperate to get eight years of my life and community back, I tried every possible support pipeline. I spent weeks endlessly emailing support channels, submitting help desk forms, and even reaching out directly to escalations addresses like escalations@cases.meta.com. Every attempt hit a brick wall. The few automated email responses I did receive were completely generic (maybe a bot or maybe not idk), eventually telling me they couldn't assist and wouldn't explain why I was banned for "security reasons." (This is actually illegal btw, at least here) 

I tried leveraging high-level connections through a friend's PR team who’s a mega famous influencer who had direct access to agency portals, but even that hit a bureaucratic dead end. The platform’s automated systems were completely impenetrable from the outside.

THE SOLUTION:

If you’re in Brazil and you’re of legal age, you probably have a GOV account. You can start the process with the Juizado Especial Cívil e da Fazenda Pública. But before this, try reaching out to Meta through their official support or consumer channels first. Even if they don’t reply or give you a reason, that still counts as attempting to settle. They completely ignored me, but I got a legal document from that portal stating they didn’t respond to my request, which is crucial because showing you tried to contact them is a necessary step for your case to be accepted. That document was key. 

After that, I had to fill out a form saying I attempted to settle but didn’t hear back from the company. This was done directly against meta’s local entityz

Eventually someone from the government emailed me asking for some info to confirm my case, it had to spot on otherwise my case would be rejected, chatgpt helped with this, you don’t need a lawyer btw. You’ll need to submit an initial complaint that outlines the whole timeline and includes screenshots of your account, your contact attempts, emails, and your identity To this person via email, Once it’s accepted, which takes a bit, they’ll send you an official cover document and case key with your process number, judge assignment, and a formal summons for Meta.

The judge then gave Meta adeadline to explain the ban or show technical proof of a violation before making a ruling. Technically, that deadline isn’t up until tommorow (Thursday) actually, But 2 days ago even before that deadline, Instagram voluntarily restored my account and sent me an apology email, they could’ve been fined otherwise.

I’m not sure if this would work for foreigners, but maybe it could? well it worked for me.

So back in University (I dropped out in my third year, and this was two years ago so I was a freshman). My uni had this rule that guests couldn't stay over for more than two nights in a row in the dorms. If you got caught, I still have no clue what the consequences were, i doubt very many people did this anyhow.

I met this girl on this very website on a local subreddit right at the very end of the first semester. So when the winter semester rolled around, we started hanging out. Her mom’s house was pretty far from her job so she would have to wake up extremely early, and she had just moved out of her own apartment that had become too expensive, but my university was only about a ten or fifteen minute bus ride from her job.

This turned into basically living in my room for the whole semester, she eveb started hanging out some with some of my uni friends, and she was there until the day before I moved out of that dorm and came home for the summer btw. She didn’t and couldn’t have a key obviously as it needed our student ID. She could walk past the front desk and the elevator when someone else came in, I think the front desk people got used to seeing he and assumed she was a student, I never locked my door so if I was in class I would come back and she was there. She didn’t even go to my school. That one RA was a dude who didn’t care about literally anything, and I 100% believe that if this had happened any other semester, it wouldn’t have worked out because I had aome nosy RAs later on.

It was great. She paid all the food costs as per out agreement, we did argue a lot about space and boundaries,

On the rare occasion where there were no guests allowed on weekends, usually due to an exam or a major event and security was put up in the front desk to stop outsiders from coming in, she’d come in early on Friday and wouldn’t leave the building until Monday morning because I couldn’t get her back in if she did.

She‘s go back to her actual house to spend the weekend there, and yeah, I went with her sometimes, even met her mom and I think stepdad or whoever the guy was. But for the most part, we were living together in this tiny ass room.

As soon as the semester ended up she stopped talking to me. Honestly? I have no regrets.

Oh and later on she ended up going to this same university.

I am thinking back to the old Minecraft Pocket Edition days, back when couldn’t game modes in and you were locked into whatever you picked at world creation.

I have two core memories from back then that I wondering about. For the first one, I remember generating a survival world in my friend’s ipad and opening my inventory to find a bedrock in my inventory right after creating the world. I’m not sure if it was a weird glitch, something seed-specific, or just my memory playing tricks on me but I’m 99% sure it happened. With the recent source code leaks floating around, Everyone I’ve ever talked about this with has said it’s impossible, but now I‘m wondering if anyone digging through the legacy PE codebase has found any world generation or inventory initialization bugs that could actually cause something like that to happen? This was in someone else’s old ipad so I can’t prove it, but I remember this.

For the second memory, I am 100% sure it happened because I had the seed memorized as a child and generated that world multiple times. I loaded into a world and spawned way outside the height limit up in the sky, meaning I had to fall all the way down into the loaded terrain just to start playing, it was also next to some water, im 99% sure the seed had either” 1 2 3” or “a b c“ on it, but I don’t remember 100%.

Did anyone else experience spawning in the sky back in the early Pocket Edition days, or know if the recent leaks explain anything about unobtainable items ending up in early survival inventory?

Maldini leaving after sixteen days on the job is the most shameful way to start a new cycle, because the moment anyone tries to bring a shred of actual modern structure or sporting integrity into that building, the deep-seated political paranoia instantly takes over and ruins every bit of momentum. They talk about competing with the operational setups from other European teams like France and modernizing, but behind closed doors, it is the same endless cycle of bureaucratic interference by the same dinosaurs who have been in power for longer than most of us have been alive.

That brings me to my next point, The 2020 Euro was a monumental achivement. Nobody can take that away from Mancini, but bringing back the exact same manager the team already had five years feels like a complete admission that the people running the federation have absolutely no new idea and no clue what they’re doing. Isn’t it time to modernize and get some new minds in the room who actually know what year it is? Why does it feel like we’re moving backwards?

Over and over, we see someone come in who realizes that the team needs some big, radical changes to go back to winning. But then, when it becomes obvious that they can't actually make those changes happen because it might upset a few dinosaurs' cash flow, they end up leaving. Why would anyone want to stick around when the team is destined to loose, and they'll be the one taking all the blame in the end? This problem will happen no matter who comes in to lead the team. I think this is the kind of change Ancelotti is aiming for with Brazil. Maybe they're giving him more leeway to make those changes, which is why he's there instead of coaching Italy. He probably knows he wouldn't have the same freedom, but honestly, this is all just speculation.

How has the Italian Football Federation turned into a circus where the fans are the clowns? Italy missed THREE consecutive World Cups and now the entire organization is collapsing in real-time and there’s no denying or making excuses for it.

Maldini comes in as the technical director. Was it Awesome? Sure, we might finally had some solid hope for leadership, he’s an absolute legend.

First he goes for Ancelotti and Pep. Both fine choices, but let's be real, it was a pipe dream. One of them is making insane amounts of money (more than any other coach in the world) at a rival national team, and I doubt they’d be willing to match that salary, and the other is rich and retired, avoiding the bs of trying to fix a struggling national team and dealing interference and corrupt management.

So what was plan B? Pirlo, Look, Great player. Legend. Hero. But as a manager? He’s done mediocre to poor stints at a few teams, meh. But fine, at least he’s a big name.

Then the whole deal implodes in two days and Pirlo posts on IG confirming he's out, the FIGC looks utterly incompetent on an international stage, and now there are rumous Maldini might leave according to Fox, which I pray is not true.

We don't have a manager. We don’t have a team, we don’t have a star player, we don't have a plan. We don't have a functional federation. We don't go to World Cups. Everyone, even the struggling teams jokes at at least they’re not Italy. The four times world champion has become an absolute joke.

Is there anyone in Italian football who has a single functioning brain cell? What are we actually doing? Why do my two nationalities both have struggling teams now, hesus
