Ya know I’m really glad that your shtick has become so recognizable and accepted on lemmy that other people enjoy it too. I remember back when you’d be down voted like crazy. Sorry to break the kayfabe on you here but seeing this comment and the votes on it just warmed my cynical satire loving heart.

Well then what’s semisexual?? I’ll never get this figured out

Democratic party members or democratic party voters? There’s a huge difference

Cool

Am I naive for thinking that due their compartmentelization there are good things happening and bad things happening and we can’t just abolish the whole thing due to some silos that get away with disgusting things?

To be clear I’m not trying to defend them at all, tying to understand. And I’d err on the side of abolishment personally. But I don’t have solid views or reasoning on the matter.

So my question to someone with your perspective is, is there any good they do that is worth preserving somehow? If you could reshape their entire mission, power structure, and oversight personally, is there anything good there that you would keep?

TIA if you spend effort replying.

My friend just shared this with me today, rings true with this article

I feel like I’m going to be referencing this a lot

Idk about the telemetry in the electronics in regards to privacy but we just got a 2021 Bolt used (previously leased w/ 12k miles) and it was 17k USD out the door and my wife loves it. It gets charged off solar at home and we laugh at people talking about gas prices. Bikes, trains, busses, and regular old feet are also a big part of our lives, but IMO people acting like EVs are an impossibility are deluding themselves to defend a harmful status quo /shrug

Do you want a datacenter in your area that triples your costs for utilities?

I have to say, I’m not very good with specific descriptors like that, moreso (sub)genres or “this band sounds like that/these band(s)”.

I agree there’s not a lot that sounds quite like Limp Bizkit, not that I’m familiar with anyway.

When you say “guitar work with melodies”, what first comes to my mind is Iron Maiden. My instinct was to go to my concert calendar and see what is coming up that might fit the bill to give you a rec, and I found “The Lord Weird Slough Feg” (sometimes just “Slough Feg” these days) is in a couple weeks. One track I remember loving by them is “Tiger! Tiger!”. Their whole vibe reminds me of a Heavy Metal 2000 (the movie).

Give that a shot, hopefully I’m not too far off the mark!

Not again!

I went to a listening party for that last Friday, was a good time. Though, I’m never gonna put that on intentionally, it felt really… Idk, passive? Like a score for a movie where the music isn’t really “the point”. Great for background. I don’t mean to be disparaging; I’m more of a metal guy so it just wasn’t my thing.

There was a period in my life where I didnt have time to listen to new music and I thought I could get by on Metallica, maiden, misfits, and (at the time) my favorite band, Fear factory. I distinctly remember telling people, I’ll listen to this til the end of my days, I don’t need more.

Then covid happened and I was stuck at home, no longer interrupted by random work or life stuff when I picked what music I put on for hours, and it got stale (No shit). And I started to listen to so much more.

Now my wife and I go to multiple shows a week, hearing all the latest and coolest shit from our local scene (SF); we tell all of our friends: $BAND is coming in 6 months, buy your tickets now, it’ll sell out. Or: free show on Saturday, want to come?

We are on friendly terms with members from multiple local bands, we go to album release shows, we get signed merch just by being chatty/friendly, we are helping bands, promoters/venues book with each other by putting them in touch.

Honestly it’s pretty incredible. When someone says “there’s no good music these days” or “rock/metal is dead” i just ask them… “Well what are you into? I can recommend something”. Because they’re so wrong…And if thry see what I see, they’d never say that in the first place

God forbid we have something better than a fptp two candidate race. If it’s not a turd sandwich vs giant douche contest, it’s “chaos”

Yea I’ve been ignoring that forever. I jsut go to my Jellyfin app at square 1

Those aren’t centrists, yikes
