I also remember being told it's because they're more hygienic (less pubic hair escaping). Always hated them though and would avoid places that enforced that.
Throwback to when they tried introducing the third pounder and y'all complained because you thought it was smaller.
Apparently heat stops at the Texas borders.
I have this but not about being a softie, but about speaking too loud. I know I do it, I know it's bad, I'm thankful when someone points it out so I can adjust, but I'm still mega pissed off for a moment when someone does.
My "village" lives across 3 continents so really it's just us and the daycare.. Where we live it's usually the grandparents we see with the kids, can't say we're not a bit jealous but on the other hand I wonder how much time these parents spend with the kids since they're always working and then handing them off to enjoy to some downtime.
Not sure if it fits your criteria but the only mobile game I play is pinball deluxe. If you like real pinball, then you'll love it, it tries to stay as true to real pinball as possible on some/most tables, it does have small transaction stuff you can buy but I still haven't bought any including all the additional tables etc after playing it 6 months + and if you did, then it's just an 8€ one time buy to get all the content and remove the ads, I'm gonna get that once I actually get bored of the "free" tables.
Sorry if it came across as dismissive as that wasn't my intention, I think it's a great looking little thing, just that it's not an alternative to a "real" car. It's in a different (legal) category, can be driven without a license and can only access secondary roads etc (I don't live in France anymore and not super aware of what category L6e can and cannot do but for example it definitely can't go on the highway).
If all you need is to grab your groceries etc from the next village, then yes it looks like it could do that. It does look like it's legit but still in preorder phase. Realistically I think most people buying this either don't really need a car or have more vehicles and are getting this for the fun factor.
That last one. If they have plates it should mean it's technically road legal as far as I know, but in the same sense a dune buggy can be road legal but you couldn't really use one as your daily driver.
It's literally nothing.
Was very intrigued but this isn't a serious alternative, they themselves refer to it as a toy multiple times on the website (even comes in it's own giant toy box).
What's the Sopuli stance on threads?
I know that's the talk of the minute and the rest of Lemmy is bombarded with arguments about whether to defederate from threads or not.
I'm not looking to start the debates here as well but I'm just curious on our beloved admin's stance about it, are we going to allow federation with threads?
Dead feed?
Hey there, so I registered to Sopuli recently and I'm still getting through the transition out of Reddit, I'll admit right now I'm enjoying the shit show too much to step away but once RiF stops working, I'm probably gonna be around here a lot more.
But right now my feed seems completely dead. I spent some time subscribing to some popular communities from different servers and I try browsing local, all and subscribed. Both hot and active serves me posts that are days, sometimes weeks old.
What can I do to get more content in my feed? I was just browsing the kbin front page (without an account) and was seeing fresher posts from Lemmy servers than I'm getting in Jerboa so it must be something wrong on my end and not just that's there's too little content.
[DISCUSSION] I'd like to share a branch of Hip-Hop/Trip-Hop that you may not know about if you don't know the French scene
Hello! As a newly arrived Reddit refugee I thought I would try to contribute. I might start posting individual tracks if I sense interest but for now, let's start with a broader overview.
There is a branch of hip hop very close to my heart, one that has a relaxed, elaborate ambience on boom bap beats with twists.
I won't pretend I have historian level of knowledge but you can think of it as a continuation of artists like nightmares on wax, tricky, etc but also massive attack, portishead and that kind of more melodic trip hop. Some of it mixed with traditional rapping.
This all mixes into the French melting pot and you get this back and forth between traditional hip hop with a rapper, and this abstract, melodic Trip-Hop scene. You'll also find influences from reggae, dub, punk, rock, jazz, Celtic, Arabic, oriental etc etc etc, since this is very much a world of samples, while some artists do compose everything themselves.
Now of course all these things exist outside of France but I've explored a lot, I don't even live in France and I listen to many genres, and for me at least it's in the French artists from which I tend to find "that sound" that works for me.
Now to get you started on the journey, some of the more mainstream artists to search for in your preferred streaming service. I keep it to things international people can listen to (e.g. no/limited French lyrics).
-
Chinese man (the masters, within this artist alone you can find many of the substyles I'm talking about I prefer the older albums by I hear youngsters enjoy the new stuff)
-
Degiheugi (more modern and his own unique twist, kinda tropical)
-
Chill Bump (these guys are more traditionally hip hop, the lyrics are in English, but you can still sense the influence)
-
Kognitif (this is very much the essence of what trip hop means to me)
-
Guts (here you'll find more ethnic influences, he also makes live musicians participate to his productions)
-
Scratch Bandit Crew (not a fan of the whole discography but the good tracks are really, really good)
-
Mounika (and finally, one of my all time favourites in his decidedly more chill and dark vibe, bordering on lo-fi at times).
There are so many more great artists and if you did want to try one with French lyrics, then in the more traditionally hip hop category but embodying this branch, I suggest starting with "Dooz Kawa".
I hope that I might make a few people curious with this and maybe even create a new passion or two for my beloved flavour of trip/hip hop.
Share your own regional artists that you think upstage the usual international stars in their own way!
