Exactly!

Politics.

Not interested in the slightest.

Likely inconvenienced a whole flight’s worth of people for a stupid Strava post. This is also bogus because he couldn’t have use GPS for this. The watch’s accelerometer would be the only metric and those are wildly inconsistent on a good day.

Cue the Picard facepalm.

The extra-judicial nature of our society favours the rich. They get away with murder every minute of every day? Why not Luigi?

Extol.

I’ve mentioned this band a few times recently.

As a metal fan, Christian Metal has always rubbed me the wrong way. It was either way too preachy and constantly proselytizing or it was just straight up bad music across the board. Often both.

Metal is founded on rebellion and speaking truth to power, not bowing down and licking a boot (something Nazi fucks forcing their way into metal scenes need to realize and fuck off - you’re not welcome) so I always handwaved away Christian bands on that basis.

Well it turns out Extol is a shining light in that scene. Their lyrics can sometimes dampen the power but the delivery of the vocals usually keeps that at bay and the music is so immense that it doesn’t even matter.

Their album ‘Burial’ is a bona fide ripper of an album. Unique riffing and melodic choices on top of an absolutely killer drummer. Their later albums are excellent too, but nothing in this world sounds like Burial. 10/10 album for me and in my top 3 of all time for sure.

Do not go down those rabbit holes, my friend. It’s not worth it. 😆

Millions? Are AI companions that prevalent?

The humans worth placing your faith in are not the ones calling the shots.

Humanity under capitalism is doomed. The only way we survive is if this AI bubble pops and burns capitalism to the ground with it.

One can hope.

Just push them to darker parts of the internet why don’t cha?

All this “for the kids” shit is directly at the expense of the kids.

I remember the part about the RFID chips in every person being the most shocking part as a kid. Honestly with smartphones and the modern internet, we’re not really that far off from what was speculated on that topic.

The film is over indulgent claptrap but a broken clock is right twice a day or whatever.

No!

Fire BIG. Big fire bad!

Run away!

The Roman Forum. The Colosseum is cool but way overrated. The Forum is so huge you can easily spend multiple days just wandering around enjoying its history.

10/10 would recommend.

Yup. I still post tabs on there every once in a while. Did a bunch of Enslaved tabs in the past couple years.

When do we start boycotting any companies that behave like this? We need a fucking class-action lawsuit against this behavior.

In order: IRC (very briefly), MSN Messenger, Ultimate-Guitar forums, Facebook, Reddit, Lemmy.

MSN and U-G forums was peak internet era for me.

Deleted my FB account in 2017, migrated to Lemmy with the mass Reddit exodus when they fucked with the API. Permanently deleted my account that day.

Just use the harmonic minor or phrygian dominant scales instead of vanilla major or minor and you’re off to the races.

They are so underrated. It’s crazy.

I never hear anyone talk about it ever and it’s one of my favorite games. I think it’s a work of art, really. To me it’s underrated.

Hyper Light Drifter for gaming.

Extol (Norway) for music, specifically the album “Burial”.
