I agree with you that the linux crowd is delusional about this matter, but fwiw I have seen an increase in non-tech people switching to Zorin or Mint in my circles in the past 2 years. I doubt there’s gonna be a widespread migration in the near future, but with Linux finally getting more gui-friendly and less terminal-dependant, I think there’s gonna be a fair increase eventually.
Grouping guns with the other things is silly false equivalence. A gun can be set off easily and accidentally, and it almost always results in instant severe injuries to either the toddler or their surroundings. Knife/ladder/heatstroke injuries are all things that either take time or deliberate effort. Not only can they be caught before something bad happens, they are many degrees less severe than guns. You’ll find carelessness or malice in any area/activity/weapon, but guns provide instant access to put those into action.
sounds like you believe groups such as the NRA make up reasons to suggest that a gun isn’t ever a problem
NRA keeps saying that guns aren’t the issue, but video games & movies are. They lobbied against federal research efforts against gun violence studies in the 90s (and continue to do so), and even accused the CDC of “anti-gun bias”. Most of their advocacy is built on shifting the blame from guns onto anything else.
Popucom - new splitscreen co-op puzzle adventure game with bubble shooter mechanics
This game is by Hypergryph, the studio that made Arknights, which is apparently a fun rpg. idk much about it.
It has been quite fun. It’s got a cute art style & animations, fun mechanics, and intersting puzzles. Doesn’t feel repetitive.
Overall, recommend trying it out. This game is similar to Split Fiction & It Takes Two, surprisingly being better than them in some of the puzzles.
Imagine the whiplash I got, when I went online and saw people hating on three storied building with their own gardens, and calling them commie blocks, acting like it was the greatest indignity to live in them. Yikes!
Thanks for the recommend, I’m taking my time going through all the suggestions here, and have been listening to this song for the past week - and wow this one is great, It made me tear up at times and I love the lyrics
I’m on the other side of your opinion - I like that phrase. “Content” can mean art, audio/visual media, writings, etc. - basically anything that we consume.
IMO, Professional creative like artists/writers/performers are all content creators but not not all content creators are professional creatives.
In this day and age, everyone creates music, comedy, videos, skits. Some work a job primarily but create media or rabbitholes that can be scoured through.
I think “content creator” is a nice catch-all term for personalities that do a lot of stuff that can be casually consumed for entertainment or discourse, especially because it stops limiting said people to one occupation like “musician” or “author”, while also preserving the seriousness of those occupations.
I find this arguing over labels more and more as I browse online, and it is sooo exhausting. I have noticed so many instances of arguing and discourse where both sides have similar ideals and want the same things, but argue with each other over stereotypes of labels on the other side, and point to the faults of the vocal rabid minority on the other side as if to prove a point. Sigh.
Wow, the song was an experience. Chills.
Thank you!
That was a great song, damn. Thanks a lot. It’s so simple yet deep. It’s gonna stick around in my head for a while
Ooooh yes it does. I enjoyed the song a lot, thank you! I think I’m going to binge Pamplemousse entirely, their work seems like it’d jive with me
I loved your suggestions, thanks a lot
Little Talks was cute, it reminds me of Anyone Else But You by The Moldy Peaches but with more energy
George Thorogood’s song is not the kind of music I usually listen to, but damn is he engaging and jivey
I think Alice’s Restaurant is my fav from your suggestions, but lol it’s almost an audiobook with it’s length
Love songs seem to be the most common in this style - I also have a large number of such songs in my library. I prolly should’ve asked for non-love songs specifically tbh, but the current suggestions are pretty great so can’t complain.
It Takes Two has a great protagonist
I mean, yeah, leaving is always an option - but I would rather prefer exploration of the possibility of a better solution. Not to mention, there doesn’t seem to be an option for moving your account from one instance to another. I would like to keep my comment and post history if I ever do move instances.
Besides, leaving might not be the ideal solution, as blocked instances seem to block back, and many instances have a “follow our blocklist, or we will block you” rule from what I have been reading.
you can always go to the instance itself directly and browse things there.
Eh, I would like to access all the stuff I want to see in one feed, ideally.
Been vegetarian all my life.
I consider veganism to be the most ethical ideology with the current factory farm infrastructure, but I don’t agree with it’s extreme principles in a world with ethical farming practices. I would continue being a vegetarian if we could do things ethically - free range, and without exploitation.
I haven’t had any struggle at all in my country- it’s awesome. I’ve always been surprised with the dismissiveness and outright hostility towards vegan peeps in the western part of the world, it makes me sympathise a lot. Over in my country, Vegetarianism is completely normal and people are very respectful of vegetarian and vegan lifestyles - part of it is due to these lifestyles originate due to religion here.
I like Kahlil Gibran
Recently been listening to Daniella Sinder and enjoying her works as well
there’s a zip file of rarbg sql database file floating around, it has the magnet links of every torrent on the website, anyone interested may look it up and download stuff before they die
Been playing Downwell on phone to fill in gaps between work/commute recently. It’s quite fun. I struggled a little bc it was much faster than a similar game like Tower Fortress, but now managed to get used to it somewhat.
