I bought eight albums! For example, The Bestiary by Castle Rat.

I always try to listen to new (or new to me) music but I’ve tended to stream for the most part until the past couple months.

I joined the Bandcamp “hard stuff” club last month and it made me want to look for more music on Bandcamp in general.

Oh yeah, I didn’t mean to indict furries as a whole, but to point out the crossover exists because it’s interesting.

Know Your Meme has a good breakdown of the culture, starting in 2005. Wikifur also has an article about it.

And it’s not hard for all of the things he described to be furry. That’s the joke.

I too have a military family, and it’s ok to be angry at them.

The inherent integrity of the military has changed a lot over the past two or three generations, but the blind worship of the military has not.

What would most people have said to the soldiers who committed the Mai Lai Massacre? Or the Abu Ghraib tortures?

“Thank you for your service.”

It’s a replacement for grep, which searches the content of text files for a regular expression.

Ripgrep is very fast. If you use grep, it’s an easy drop-in.

In a nutshell, it’s swastika tattoos.

This politician followed an account with a fetishized racial name (“obedient slur”) that that posted, among other things, shirtless men with swastika tattoos and comments about white power.

The politician re-posted a shirtless man in his underwear without any swastikas from that account.

Essentially, to me it looks like the openly gay politician was looking at fetish content and re-posting non-fetish content a long time ago and should have used a different username.

I haven’t looked, but I’m sure all the rest of what you mentioned exists, though. Plus all of them being furries.

Yep, whatever template I use looks really nice. Very professional.

It’s actually the most editable format my resume has ever been in, too! I started using LaTeX over a decade ago. I just update it when I need to and it prints out exactly the same way to PDF.

I will proselytize something like this for a resume any time. I am very curious about typst as well!

I used LaTeX! I found a resume template and edited it.

I’m surprised there isn’t a good typst template for resumes that is easy to edit!

To use a different atrocity as an example, the Japanese saw the Chinese as “pigs” during the Nanjing Massacre.

It’s easy to see how dehumanizing your enemy has an effect. Here is an excerpt from The Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang.

there were those in the imperial army who saw the Chinese as subhuman beings whose murder would carry no greater moral weight than squashing a bug or butchering a hog. In fact, both before and during the war members of the Japanese military at all levels frequently compared the Chinese to pigs. For example, a Japanese general told a correspondent: “To be frank, your view of Chinese is totally different from mine. You regard the Chinese as human beings while I regard the Chinese as pigs.”

I’m not reading all that. Sorry for your issue, or I’m happy for you. Whichever you prefer.

It is a new women’s promotion from Los Angeles. They had their first shows in September.

Based in Los Angeles, Genesis Premier League will have its At Any Cost show on October 5.

The company boasts that it will be “a new era in women’s wrestling” and had its first event on September 13 & 14.

From a WrestleTalk article about Leyla Hirsch, formerly of AEW. I was curious too and had marginally better luck.

Ford named a truck Maverick, too.

The Ford Maverick car was kind of a cool-looking car in the late 70s. But they turned it into the most generic vehicle possible.
