vala,

Always wanted to add the pitfalls of modern capitalism to my fantasy worlds.

As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music?

As an example. I grew up in hip-hop but at a certain point I stopped listening to new people and realised recently that I’d slept on some bangers. Like Kendrick particularly, but even people like Juice WRLD and Xxxtentacion....

vala,

The fact that LSD and shrooms are in the same category as PCP.

Just got surpassed by yo momma actually.

(Sorry I couldn’t resist, please no ban)

vala,

Super underrated artist.

Most of his stuff isn’t available in the west.

This hasn’t aged at all because it was literally released today.

vala,

Ok fair.

I had checked on the website and it was the comic of the day so idk.

vala,

Yeah I’m pretty sure that’s why he did it and why no one else got super mad about that.

vala,

Cool album. Ran into this on Spotify about a year ago.

Does Reddit shadowban mentions of Lemmy?

In the months since I deleted my Reddit accounts and joined Lemmy, the lack of user base growth has made it clear that we need some users to stay on Reddit as a means of shepherding more users over on an ongoing basis. Otherwise, Reddit simply got what it wanted: less users who make a fuss about how it manages its platform...

vala,

I honestly doubt that works. If Reddit really has a blacklist of keywords it’s almost certainly accounting for this kind of thing.

This is an ad.

Edit: Sorry, this is “product placement” or “branded content” or whatever is called now.

SNL literally announced they were doing this in 2016.

vala,

But this certainly is. They wouldn’t be showing the label like that if the skit wasn’t sponsored by the ketchup company.

vala,

The ketchup company obviously paid for this skit.

Edit: pun intended but actually stop

vala,

No one truly suffers if the game is delayed.

Evangelical app 'Bless Every Home' is mapping personal information of immigrants and non-Christians in a bid to conduct door-to-door religious conversions and “prayerwalking” rituals targeting them. (newrepublic.com)

It puts a lot of features at the fingertips of the faithful, including the ability to filter whole neighborhoods by religion, ethnicity, “Hispanic country of origin,” “assimilation,” and whether there are children living in the household....

vala,

Turns out punks have better morals than Christians.

I don’t think that any reasoning person thought otherwise.

vala,

I wasn’t around personally but I’m familiar with the story.

My point is really that any reasoning person sees that the punk mindset is generally pretty morally sound.

I don’t think the parents, preachers and politicians involved in the satanic panic were super logical people tbh.

vala,

I really feel like this is the reason
