  • Right? Why aren't leftists embracing the environmentally-destructive mechanism the techbro billionaires are using to simultaneously enrich themselves and enslave humanity?

  • This is adorable ♥️

  • What band/artist have you seen live more than once, would gladly go see again, and what keeps you coming back?

  • King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are absolutely incredible live. They're a genre-agnostic psychedelic band from Australia that play an ever-evolving span of of styles. You might see them play one of their metal songs at a show, and the next time you see them they'll re-work it as an electronic microtonal funk jam. They're indescribably creative.

  • Primus is touring this summer with the Frog Brigade and the Claypool Lennon Delirium. All the Les you can handle.

  • "I'm not political" almost always really means "I think Hitler did nothing wrong"

  • I think you're just picking up on the fact that we're better than everyone else. It'll sink in eventually and you'll become one of us.

    For instance, you probably posted this comment on a malware-laden capitalist phone or, even worse, a store-bought computer running Windows, with dirty factory electricity.

    I, on the other hand, am posting this comment on a solar-powered pc built entirely of recycled parts, purchased locally and anonymously with foraged currencies. I haven't seen a single advertisement in my entire life, and while I do run Linux,I won't tell you which distro it is (Arch, btw) unless you ask.

    You'll get it eventually, unless you're a tankie. Or a liberal. Or a vegan (or not a vegan, we haven't made up our minds on that yet).

  • Do you name your cars, if so what have you named them?

  • Cheese and a rhyme scheme, phenomenal.

    Has anyone ever read the OTC Drugs book in a series on drugs?

  • Are you on DXM right now? What is the title of your post supposed to mean?

  • Is there a way to use my OpenWrt router to help people connect to Tor?

  • This is the most sensible answer here, honestly. The sentiment and intent are admirable, but you're opening yourself up to a lot of potential risk.

  • How do you deal with the left over fat/oil in your pan?

    Jump

  • Save your bacon fat in a jar, it's clutch. You can do the same with beef tallow. Need to saute some onions for rice and beans? Bam, fry them in bacon fat. Stew recipe calls for vegetable oil to saute your carrots? Fuck that, tallow it. Some traditions exists because they work.

  • I name my bicycles.

    Steely Fran is my touring and every day ride (she's a Salsa Vaya, a steel-frame gravel bike)

    Moon Unit is my fat-tire bike for snow, dirt, and rockhopping fun.

  • Who will be the villains in future Hollywood movies?

  • It's not exactly what you're referring to, but "Twisters" - the sequel to the tornado movie - was pretty weird.

  • YouTube to be included in Australia’s social media ban for children under 16

    Jump

  • The expression "it takes a village to raise a child" applies here. It's impossible for a parent to be with their child at all times. Children aren't always at home, and a lot of parents suck, don't care, or are just misinformed. YouTube is available everywhere, including at schools and libraries. Look at it like smoking. We recognize that cigarettes are dangerous and cause cancer, therefore children can't buy them. Social media companies - and let's stop pretending YouTube isn't social media, it very much is - are today's big tobacco. They need regulated, and not doing so is causing tremendous societal harm.

  • While all of that might be true, YouTube is also a for-profit cesspool of trash content, hate speech, and misinformation. An entire generation of gen z manosphere Nazi bootlickers got where they are watching "gaming videos" on YouTube.

    It auto plays by default and their algorithms are dogshit, so you might start watching an educational video with your kid, but end up on a flat earth video fifteen minutes later, or much much worse.

    When my son was younger, we severely limited his YouTube time and closely monitored what he was watching on it. Most parents don't do that.

    I dislike legislation like this too, but we're not talking about PBS or a library here. Kids truly shouldn't be on YouTube unattended.
