Chaos!
  • Throw her on a hill and she'll see that it's way easier than she expects to find the catch. I'm also pretty high strung, generally speaking, and when I couldn't get a hang of changing gears, the moment would devolve into sheer panic and make everything worse as I snubbed the engine with each attempt. And this was during parking lot practice with someone's old car that they were planning on junking anyways, so no need for that level of stress whatsoever.

    But then I was taken to a little incline where I could clearly /feel it/ for the first time and after that, I just "got it".

  • Man recording a concert on cassette, Poland, 1980s
  • Yeah, and you can tell just by the look on his face that this is serious business. He's just got to hope nothing going wrong while it's recording. I'd be so nervous about something breaking in the machine!

  • 30 days of blatant debauchery y'all!
  • It's becoming a game for me to guess whether these commenters are being earnest or simply gay folk getting amped up for the season. This is a great sell, and I would in fact buy the t-shirt.

  • Do Christians really think that being educated is sinful and should be avoided?
  • Holy cow, I remember these skinny books. Chick tracts, ey? Growing up, back when my folks were still fundies, we had a few on the bookshelf and I remember they were my first time seeing 'nudes' in print. I think the highlight was some dude who went to hell's whole butt, nary a leaf in sight. Prior to that, there was only the carefully, tastefully covered parts of Adam and Eve for me.

    Hilarious that my takeaway from these was just first sight of full butt.

  • I never sign in, I delete cookies everytime my browser quits, but Youtube keeps pushing right-wing, incel bullshit at me
  • It's because you're clearing out cookies and all that other stuff that you keep seeing it. The youtube algorithm knows that the people who watch that garbage watch it often and for long periods of time, making those kinds of videos a top suggestion. Pretty sad and scary to think of so many people spending all their free time watching and rotting away inside, just soaking it all up to take it with them the next time they interact with real people.

  • Country music
  • By odd chance, I got turned onto Sturgill last month and I've had all the albums on repeat since. I had always liked the odd bluegrass or folk song, but never had a real in with country before this. Excited to check out the rest of this list!

    Fingers crossed that one of these are still touring.

  • Sci-fi books which don't involve too much space travels and massive world builds?
  • I had to drop it because the woman, who I believe was supposed to be a journalist iirc, just spoke so unbelievably idiotically it broke my immersion multiple times. At least I got the context of "grok" for when it's referenced irl, I guess.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • I've had a weird path to Deftones. When I was younger, they were mega boring to me, but then I discovered Team Sleep immediately after high school and had those songs on repeat for a good couple years without ever connecting the dots that it was the same singer. It was only this year that I finally figured out the Chino connection, so I've been exploring a little more.

    Still haven't sat down and listened to an album all the way through though. If anyone wants to drop a rec, I'll take heed!

  • What's a good podcast you like?
  • Love James and Jimmie on Small Town Murder. The amount of research that goes into each episode is absolutely insane for the pace that they pump out episodes, and those two dudes balance each other out well.

    I especially admire how it never comes off as being disrespectful of the victims' stories, which is a common enough problem in the true crime genre that makes me steer clear of a lot of shows.

    I'll have to check out the others listed! The rest are all new to me.

  • Anyone still remember Threads? No Twitter, No Threads, where are you guys now?
  • I just saw a thing that a lot of furries have moved over to bluesky, which makes me think of the story how DVD won over the other one (betamax?) because porn was more commonly sold using that format. I could certainly be misremembering that anecdote but in any case, I think whichever social media handles NSFW content better will win out in the end.
