There’s a difference between offering opposition to outright fascism, and being the hope of the future of a political party. The bar is so low right now that I’m happy whenever I hear of someone pushing back in any amount, but AOCs passion and unrelenting sense of justice is fucking inspiring.

Even better, those doors open outward, into the only space that the wheelchairs can occupy.

I really like Everdell’s card art. There are a lot more components than just cards, though: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/199792/everdell

Look at this guy who doesn’t live in a 400sqft apartment with only street parking.

I never made the Neil Young connection, but I absolutely stopped listening to Pearl Jam. The last album I enjoyed was Vitalogy, which lines up with them doing Mirror Ball with Neil Young before their No Code album.

One man’s polished is another man’s over-produced.

Clearly the sound of this album resonated more with the mainstream, but I always felt like the addition of so much distortion, both to the sampling and to the synth, started to get away from what I liked about the genre. The pure waves of the digital instruments are why I liked techno. I had analog genres of music if I wanted to listen to something dirty sounding.

I considered writing “the album that ruined Prodigy for me” but decided to stick with the more inflammatory version. 🤣

Controversial opinion: It’s the album that ruined Prodigy.

Experience and Jilted Generation are amazing and I love every track.

Their first two albums were everything I loved about the genre. As soon as Smack My Bitch Up started getting radio play, they shifted their sound to match and never looked back.

I think the point they’re trying to make is that these two large sites are just the start. Others will follow suit to the point where eventually most sites across the entire internet will be in this bifurcated situation. We’re seeing similar things with things like cookies, ads, and age verification.

What I didn’t realize about Columbo until watching it last year is that every episode is basically a full movie. There’s no connection between each episode, Columbo himself is the only recurring character. Each episode is an hour 10 to an hour 40 long. Also, it’s by FAR the best production and acting on TV in that era. It’s legitimately like almost 70 individual films.

I want this to be so much better than it is:

I don’t get why we don’t call the “anti-woke” crowd “the asleep.” It seems like if they want to treat becoming awakened as an insult, we should be reminding them that they’re the ones who have their eyes closed and are attempting to ignore all of history.

The optimist in me believes that some day the majority of them will wake up, the same way the majority of Germans eventually denounced the nazi party.

The U.S. left from EIGHTY YEARS AGO is why those things exist. There’s been a drift to the right over time. It has RAPIDLY accelerated in the last 50 years. The present day left has been dragged right by trying to be polite in the face of so many evils. I’m not promoting both side-isms, the democrats are still far preferable to the republicans, but the greed and corruption are not exclusive to the right. The system is broken and my only hope of the incoming disaster is that it may get so bad that we are forced to enact real and substantive change. I only think that will happen if the horrors that come are extreme enough to defeat the current apathy of the country. GOP voter numbers went up less than a percent, DNC voter numbers went down over 12%.

The second edition, yeah? I see it!

Not just Chinese goods, but Chinese components. That cost will be passed on to the consumer. There are A LOT of things that aren’t made at all in the US. If you thought cost of living was high under Biden…

Did you mean to respond to a different comment? Cause you seem to be agreeing with the initial post that you’re replying to.

You’re trying to say that minor, inconsequential elections are the best way to increase visibility?

No, I’m saying make noises in rooms where you can be heard.

Yes! Literally this is what I’m trying to say!
