- Comment on If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently? 1 day ago:
This is pretty true and a I love it.
For all the ills of social media the internet has been an absolute godsend to musicians and music fans alike. We can find genres and sounds in clicking around curiously that most of us just wouldn’t have ever been exposed to without the internet.
FWIW I try to purposefully spend some time “exploring” music on YT and Spotify, and I go out to local venues a lot. I’m a little older and having a wide library of good music helps me feel “in touch” with the world.
I have this site bookmarked, this seems like a good place to post it: www.gnoosic.com

Make sure someone takes minutes so we can maximize our synergies and deliverables.

Going off your comment I’m guessing you just became politically active in the last few years.

You’ll need to elaborate if you want to actually contribute.
- Comment on It's interesting that gun rights were sold on the basis of "resisting unlawful government." They seen to have caused unlawful government. 1 week ago:
This is a good analysis and a great point re: the wedge issues they use to divide us. God, Guns, and Gays. Things that actually impact a relatively small number of people, but that are central to a persons identity and so can be used to turn people (who might otherwise have a lot in common) against each other.

Bro look at Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan,
Better toys for your soldiers doesn’t mean you automatically win the war.

And still today, right here in this thread, you have obviously privileged people tut-tutting gun ownership. Urging their comrades to forsake any defense at all against rising fascism.
If the people in power get their way there are going to be camps for undesirables on U.S. soil in the next decade.
I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety.
Get to know people in your community. Take an interest in growing food, learn how to fix things. Get a gun (or two) and learn how to use them. Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.

It was so disgusting digging all the gunk out with a toothpick, cotton swabs, and alcohol.
Optical mice were such a huge improvement everyone I knew (except the weird trackball guy) switched as soon as they became available and never looked back.

Not sure if it was intentional but you just summarized the show Severance.

There are women who definitely car about the (quality, cost) of the car you drive. It’s one of the most obvious status symbols.

Oh man you could hook your feet in the legs and it was get a stretch going that was like a chiropractor visit! Not sure what the other commenter is on about those desks were indestructible and served their purpose well. I do remember being excited when we got to start using free-standing chairs we could adjust where ever we wanted.

It happens, for security sake it’s usually safer to prepare for the worst case scenario.

Unsure why this has downvotes and not more conversation, it’s not that hot of a take and downvotes don’t mean anything here.
- Comment on Why do we tolerate it that Luigi Mangione is being held in prison. We know its absolutely the least safe place he can be? 1 month ago:
edit: I hope every inmate makes it clear that Luigi is cool with them and that anyone who does something similar will receive a warm welcome, that might make things interesting.

I remember a video right after he was taken into custody of inmates yelling out the windows about “free luigi” and “luigis conditions are terrible” of course they love him. He killed a greedy healthcare CEO, you could argue he did the world a favor.

- Comment on Hundreds of smartphone apps are monitoring users through their microphones 1 month ago:
I remember a bunch of people freaking out about this a few years ago.amd an equal number telling them they were paranoid.
You can talk about stuff and your phone will just magically start suggesting related items. Why would anyone be surprised the monitoring device in their pocket is monitoring them?
