Sick! That would be a fun show. I was able to catch (probably) one of the last Sasha and Digweed shows that are probably ever going to happen and it was a good throwback to younger times.

Seeing artists now that I listened to during the birth of the rave music scene, now that I can afford it, is amazing. Unfortunately, it reminds me of how old I am. The last Sasha and Digweed show was packed full of people my age and it was exactly like an old-school wearhouse party. (The after-party even went to 6-7AM.)

(I didn’t take them) But we even had random people basically just shoving free pills (supposedly molly) at us too. Chances are it wasn’t malicious, but rarher more of a “spread the love” vibe.

It’s the logo for Aphex Twin, an iconic electronic music producer.

Corn smut (Ustilago maydis), on the other hand, is supposed to be tasty.

The south can be really tribal like that. Once someone gets hooked on the southern baptist group-think schtick, independent thought is near impossible. I ain’t saying that is the case for all people, but if Bojangles being a sponsor of NASCAR is important to your life and belief structure, odds are fairly high that someone else is making decisions for you.

I am from NC, believe it or not. People can identify with whatever they want, but it’s kinda silly when they are identifying with a company that really isn’t southern any more.

It’s kinda like how people are dedicated to their home NFL team when none of the players are from that area. It confuses me, s’all.

Totally had me fooled with the truck that is driving backwards dumping spice out of its front.

Bojangles was founded in NC but the company has been shuffled through so many investment firms now, it’s basically just a brand with zero soul.

I personally watch he hell out of PBS shows and have since I was a kid. (Space Time on YouTube is probably at the top of my list now.) My first thought about PBS was, “PBS has a web site?”.

Well, that was poetic.

The bit rate sucks ass, but there does appear to be a connection.

What about CornHub?

Booze.

I have huge chunks of memories missing and that ain’t exactly a bad thing for my older, and sober, self. (Sometimes I still get flashbacks of blurry memories and it is very anxiety inducing. Booze memories are weird and were written to some corrupt cells or something that only pop back up under strange conditions.)

It’s just like the beer that is just labeled “Beer”. If it still gets the job done, the packaging doesn’t mean shit.

It’s so much more complicated than that, it seems. Wool was a major business, even back then: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/urban-history/article/organizing-specialized-production-gender-in-the-medieval-flemish-wool-cloth-industry-c-12501384/A173396BD9F8E10E74634263506620BE

While I don’t think that article proves or disproves a woman being financially independent through spinning, it does hint that wool was extremely expensive and a huge business.

I’ll never drink again, but there are some days still that I wish my mind could be as numb as it was while I was a raging alcoholic. That thought is usually replaced with remembering how shitty I always felt and how I didn’t give a fuck about anything. Life was a blur.

A mostly clear mind and recovering body is a very good thing. Daily stress is easily managed with regular exercise and chronic anxiety and depression is only a tiny fraction of what it once was. It’s a good life now.

I believe the lifestyle changes not only lengthened my life, but it also stretched out my perceived time as well.

Observe while participating is what I meant. The intent is to give a person a heads up that cliques still exist on Lemmy and it may take a bit to understand them. In my case, I found the first instance I wouldn’t participate on when I was classified as a fascist baby killer for some reason. (Some instances hadn’t been mostly defederated back then.)

I would tweak that a hair and tell people just to make an account somewhere and observe for a bit. Lemmy can have some very distinct groups that reside on very specific instances. Or not. It’s a “pick your adventure” kind of scenario, IMHO.

It took about six months or so for me to settle into .ca after bouncing around a bit. It’s not really a pain to switch instances, but I personally like my chat history in one spot and I like the concept of a ‘home instance’.

Depending on your client and your settings, your feed could have a bias that leans in the direction of the posts on your home instance, so that is something of note. Not saying that is bad or good, it just is what it is.

Are you forgetting about jorts?

For some, it’s exactly that.

I don’t give a shit about this post or any argument happening, but I am curious about why you think defamation of public figures specifically, has to have consequences?

I am not a fan of defamation against anyone, but I give the least amount of fucks for any politician. (Maybe one or maybe half of a fuck is given in their case.)
