This is the track that introduced me to triphop (and psychedelic music more broadly, too). I was visiting my grandma as a wee one and flipping through her satellite TV channels at 3am and this was playing on one of the countless music channels.
In a big way, it helped set me on a path in life and so holds a special place in my heart and memories. Thanks for posting, dude! I needed the nostalgia-bomb today :)
This is such a fun and clever way to strengthen inter-generational community. I would love to see something like this where I live!
Same here. A person who owns their flaws and does everything in their power to inspire positive change is a good person in my book. And he’s funny to boot? Save some for the rest of us! Come on, dude!
Remember that one bot that had a saw that spun so fast that it almost beheaded a judge when it was forcefully detached, and then they had to change regulations to make sure it didn’t happen again? They were simpler times back then…
Same on that last sentiment, dude. The difference in my own temperament has been surprisingly noteworthy since leaving. It took being banned for me to realize how emotionally dependant I had bec9me on their algorithm.
I’m still pissed about why I was banned, but I am ultimately glad to have left. The bump in my productivity has also been noteworthy. My home hasn’t been this clean in a long while lol
I was banned from a sub for explaining why “globalist” is an antisemetic dogwhistle. They said my comment was hate speech but left up the one I responded to, dogwhistle and all.
When I asked the sub’s mods about the ruling, I was given a 3-day sitewide ban. I brought it to admins, and instead of any explanation, they responded by making that ban permanent.
I dont think there is any way they don’t know what they’re doing. Reddit is complicit.
They also groom themselves something like cats do. Bees are the cutest!
Haven’t read your link yet, but with your point, I can absolutely concur; these are dark times, indeed.
If there was ever a time to get to know your neighbors and start building up community allegiance and solidarity, that time would look a lot like right now. Good luck and stay clever, all!
Even if only a couple people see someone making valid complaints before they bury it, then I’d say that’s at least worth the effort. You tell em, dude!
And they’re going to hide it
Not quite what you’re asking for, but Binary Break is an actual play tabletop podcast which is way, waaaay better than it needs to be. The players, the dm, the setting, the story, the music, the vibes; it all adds up to what is, easily, the best actual play experience I’ve ever come across…and as a person with a lot of time on my hands, I have tried a lot of them lol.
The setting is Digimon and I’m not sure if that’s a sell or deterrent for you, but I promise that it is an exceptionally fun ride for both fans and those that have never had an interest in the series alike. I am not exaggerating when I say that they are the best at what they do. You won’t regret giving these good folks a shot!
Genuinely nothing bad. Someone used the term “space globalists” to describe a faction in the manga, so I explained why globalist was an antisemetic term by explaining the context it gets used in irl as well as by providing specific examples of Alex Jones using the term and examples of him explaining why he uses it (he has, on rare occassion, said that you call them globalists instead of jews because the latter is a bad look, essentially). I did use some vulgar language and imagery, but only in quoting/paraphrasing what these types have actually said about their own beliefs.
The part of the ruling that said it was off topic was, imo, fair as I did break that rule, but specifically using it to disallow people pointing out hate speech, while also deeming it hate speech, and while leaving the dogwhistle I responded to up all makes it feel very sus ngl.
I asked their mods how what I said was qualified as hate speech and instead of getting any explanation, their response was a 2-day sitewide ban. After bringing it to admins, they, again instead of giving any reasoning to the ruling, just banned me from the site fullstop.
From the US and this has always been my experience with the reddit app since joining in 2019. I always chalked it up to bad connection
Jsyk, I have heard from librarian friends that, depending on where you live, a lot of the job can end up being telling creeps to pull their pants up and gtfo 😞
Is this why I just got permabanned there for explaining that “globalist” is an antisemetic dogwhistle? They said I was using hatespeech and when I contested it, my sub ban (r/dandadan of all places) became a permanent site-wide ban.
I don’t have any personal experience with this, but I have friends that have done escort work in the past and I think they’d have been pretty upset if nobody gave them any business.
As long as everyone involved is consenting and respectful, I don’t see the issue.
