I had that thought still in bed, to be honest

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Lots of rock songs, even from supposedly family friendly bands like The Beatles, I can't listen to anymore, because it's too creepy.

Sounds like a good time to start your own business, creating a stable, no-bullshit version of whatever these companies produce

I love blues and blues rock, but the lyrics are often full of misogyny, unfortunately. Same with rap. Some I can't listen to anymore because of that, but some I give the benefit of the doubt, if that makes sense. They feel like they are using a misogynistic language, but aren't actually saying anything misogynistic.

Oh and then there are these really sad and self depreciating songs I used to love, when I was more emo, like Creep. I still love the sound, but I can't connect with the lyrics anymore. I'm basically only listening to them, when I'm down and even then I'm basically ignoring the content and focus on the vibes.

Oh, that's one of the lesser known Ed Wood movies! So you know what you're getting into trying to watch this.

Hey guys, I told one of my mates this story, they mentioned you might like to hear it here.

Before this pandemic, I was running a home brew adventure with some friends, and a couple of strangers and we were having a a blast. It was me, 5 adventurers and our Rogue's Gf (who we'll call Silent) who wanted to watch and learn but didn't feel she could play.

Now Silent had a really bad stutter, and I don't mean bad like she stuttered on every few words but you could understand her, I mean it took her 3 minutes to say 2 words. Because of this, she felt she couldn't really play which is a shame. She would normally watch and then text her boyfriends or me some questions.

But hey we gotta make sure she is involved, so I gave her a character sheet and some spare paper and Silent ended up designing a bard name Baroness Hammer lute with a +10 to Performance (You'll never guess what her instrument was). Now as our sessions continue, I found out that while Silent cannot speak clearly, when she sings, she is essentially clear as day. She could sing entire songs with maybe a slight falter if she has to say 'Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious' and she can 'sing speak' (if that's the right term)

The group are more than happy to have her join in the game so myself and her bf suggest that she plays as the Baroness, but that her character has a curse that makes it she can only sing, she cannot speak normally also we had to nerf that +10 bonus). We ended up calling it 'The Divorce Curse' after her character divorced her husband.

She's happy as a clam and two sessions later, she's literally playing a drum solo on the BBEG with a pair of dragon bones while singing the opening verse from 'Psycho Killer' (which was a little scary).

To see this quite, reserved person turn into a Bardic maniac singing 'C'mere you little goblin bastards! I haven't eaten all day...' was amazing, and it's why I love this game.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it

That's also pretty metal, true!

Yes, officially "everything goes", but I feel something shouldn't be considered a shitpost if it's just something funny. For me a shitpost needs to be deliberately low quality and/or dumb in itself. This is just an arguably funny post, that I'd expect to find in funny or politicalhumor.

Liu worked with professors at Princeton to test how people responded to two different graphs. One showed winter temperatures of a fictional town gradually rising over time, while the other presented the same warming trend in a black-or-white manner: The lake either froze in any given year, or it didn’t. People who saw the second chart perceived climate change as causing more abrupt changes.

The findings suggest that if scientists want to increase public urgency around climate change, they should highlight clear, concrete shifts instead of slow-moving trends. That could include the loss of white Christmases or outdoor summer activities canceled because of wildfire smoke.

Previous research has found that as the climate warms, people adjust their sense of what seems normal based on weather from the past two to eight years, a phenomenon known as “shifting baselines.”

not a shitpost

edit: This seems to split the community here. Yes, officially "everything goes", but I feel something shouldn't be considered a shitpost if it's just something funny. For me a shitpost needs to be deliberately low quality and/or dumb in itself. This is just an arguably funny post, that I'd expect to find in funny or politicalhumor.

Someone called it "soft eugenics" and that makes the most sense to me. It's probably too much bad press and effort to do the old school active eugenics of preventing undesirable peoples from reproducing. So instead you remove health and safety services so "nature" will take care of them. While you simultaneously make it "easier" for the others to reproduce by handing out benefits and preventing birth control.

I'm sure that makes sense to the "utilitarian" crowd or whatever they are called, that believe that the goal of humanity's survival against whatever hypothetical future scenario they think of justifies any means today. Well, except to those who paid attention in biology and know that diversity is actually our best strategy to do just that.

I had the same issue just a week ago after resetting my phone. As was said here I had to deregister my device in Google, because they didn't know that I had reset that device. For Google it was a complete new device in my hand, despite it still being the same phone after reset. That's why Google tried to make me F2A on what it thought was my old device.

Only after removing the old device in Google on my computer was I able to login on it again.

VoPuHeDo is a psychedelic rock band from Leipzig and has become one of my absolute favorites!

They're currently trying to gather funding for their debut album. The funding deadline is in 3 days and they are at 83% of the funding target. So if you want to help upcoming artists you can support them on Start Next.

 

In particular check out my little game Kevin's Path to Wizdom, which is 50% off ;)

Edit: I'm not actually opposed to watching movies with directors cuts. Just realized I love watching ridiculously long video essays about movies, but almost never watch directors commentaries. Not sure why, probably availability.

Also I heightened the phrasing for comedic purposes ;)
