What is c99?
Submitted by JtC on Mon, 05/24/2021 - 8:44amC99 is censoring! I'm leaving!
C99 wont censor! I'm leaving!
Welcome to my world.
Every day I bite my tongue and suppress my biases for the common good of this site. A site owners words can become gospel. I don't want that. I try to remain as neutral as possible.
Just a few short weeks ago there was a huge clamor on this site over media censorship and how corporations are doing the governments first amendment's dirty work. No fucking censorship was the war cry. It was the hill folks were willing to die on. It was very contentious and heated. I have no doubt folks left c99 because of it.
I now hear subtle pleas for censorship here at c99, and some that are not so subtle. Is censorship that subjective? Censorship for thee but not for me? I have no doubt people will leave over that as well.
Where does that leave c99?
In a world of fear, uncertainty and doubt, I hold these truths self evident:
I remember the original premise of this site. That is; everyone should be able to voice their opinions, short of insulting other users.
No one knows what the future will bring, no one. Not even science. Predictions can be made but no one knows for sure. No one.
Covid has proven to be the most valuable tool in the arsenal of those that wish to divide us.

Musical Chairs
Changing tastes and technology
I'm in Florida this weekend with my folk festival buddies here on the banks of the Suwannee River. The festival isn't being held this year due to COVID, but we're all vaccinated and decided to just have our own minifest. In addition to playing music, we'll canoe, swim, hike, and bike around.
We all travel a musical journey as we age and are exposed to different genre. I like almost all music, and can appreciate most of it. So today I thought it might be fun to look at my journey and perhaps you might share your music foray into your favorite pieces.
I really like these “playing for change” compilations.
"Green" capitalism, China, and our deluded Congress
Submitted by Cassiodorus on Sat, 05/22/2021 - 6:29pmI have to wonder about the seriousness of those in Congress who imagine themselves to have an actual response to the climate change problem, yet who actually support Senate Bill 1169, the "Strategic Competition Act."
Sweden Now Number 33
Submitted by fire with fire on Sat, 05/22/2021 - 10:51amOn this board, I have read it asserted that Sweden did lock down and that is the only reason why their numbers improved. This false assertion is apparently based on a law that was passed early in 2021 that would allow the government to impose the same orders imposed in most of the rest of the world, but this law was not enforced beyond a few small measures.
