I managed about thirty seconds of that. I don't know, it didn't feel like rock, or classic.

Do you donate blood? in c/casualconversation@lemm.ee

Fun fact. People from the UK who lived there while BSE was a thing cannot donate blood in the US, pretty much ever.

Couldn't they just investigate them for being shit?

Just started using Thunder and it is a pretty easy transition from Sync.

USA comparison in c/actually_infuriating@lemmy.world

I think I understand your concern, but how do you very briefly describe what's happening a better way?

Schools in the US are "free", although they are generally funded by taxes. I think if you said to most people that society benefits from a good basic education for everyone, they would agree.

If you said that should apply to higher education, it doesn't sound like too much of a stretch.

If you then said "we should have the same standard of education and funding for the entire nation", many people would say "No way", because America, and that would mean centralized funding and standards and stuff. It's always that last part.

Ignorant of the subject matter, but I ripped a bunch of CDs to FLAC some time ago. Would that not work for this purpose?

If they had bought it, they would have run it into the ground.
