awesome. that album is so sick. the lyrics have a shock factor that i really like. sometimes theyre straight up hilarious.

me too lol. the shirt with the lego guy ? that’s the one i got

subversive punk is still around. It’s still politically leftist. Jeff Rosenstock and his fans are pretty anarchist in ethos. Go to one of his shows, you’ll find a whole lot of messaging about solidarity, mutual aid, building better world, fuck the police, etc. His lyrics aren’t always about politics but they have an anti authoritarian edge.

There’s Infinity Knives x Brian Ennals who are mixing punk and hip hop in a very in your face political way and theyre GREAT.

Viagra boys are a pop punk who satirize the alt-right, especially in their album Cave World.

Mount Eerie is a noisy folk band that dabbles in some punk aesthetic – their most recent albums contains themes of decolonization and anti-war.

Honningbarna just came out with an amazing record called Soft Spot that has some leftist political themes, but not as overt as the others. Amazing sound though. Maybe more Hardcore than punk.

There is no centralized counter culture because the media landscape is so different now. There’s no radio to all listen to together. Communities are pretty isolated online. There are advantages and disadvantages. At the very least, decentralization of the counter culture prevents it from ever being squashed completely. On the other hand, decentralization makes it harder for people to see, and cause them to lose hope and feel alone. But as another said, you’re here, aren’t you?

You should check out the last chapter of Bullshit Jobs. The author makes a good case for UBI as a liberating force for people whose lives are tied to demeaning work. His idea is that UBI would free people from being dependent on an economic master in order to have access to basic human needs like shelter, food, water, healthcare, etc. but also less concrete needs such as sociability, leisure, and play. It would have to go hand in hand with some regulation on prices.

He’s an anarchist so he ostensibly has your same aversion (completely warranted) to the perpetuation of money and capitalism.

I use navidrome to stream music from my desktop. Symphonium is my android client. It costs like 2 bucks but it’s real good. Lots of different UI options.

I haven’t done it myself since Im the only one using it…but I think in order to have somewhere your family can login and download music … That is a separate application from navidrome. Lidarr, Jackett, and somehow connect to qbittorent…I haven’t done it yet but I think that’s probably the route id go

That’s awesome you got back into it for pure enjoyment!

Gear acquisition syndrome is real though. Fortunately for me I was able to recover from it in the context of guitars. Unfortunately for me I picked up photography as a hobby…

I play guitar casually since a little before COVID. Becoming more fluent with it every time I play is an amazing feeling.

Getting into a groove, putting my own spin/expressing myself with songs I like, and jamming with friends are experiences that are unmatched in enjoyment for me.

Making up my own silly songs on the fly is fun too.

Learning to play is the best thing I ever did. I had to get over the idea that it would be hard work to get good, or the idea that I’d never be as good as someone who started as a kid, or that I’d ever even be technically good, at all. Letting go of that stuff allowed me to enjoy each moment playing, and just have fun.

TLDR:

you can use adb

not sure how i can express how much i hate this comment. nice job.

I choose I. Why? I-C-E-D. Free? Yessiree. Cold and totally bold. Aloned and totally stoned.

I is the place to be. I is the place for me. High is the state of me. I choose I.

There are a lot of language learning resources on the site i use. I did a whole Michel Thomas advanced audio course for portuguese that helped me learn the basics. What’s the title of the french book your friend is looking for?

I do it with navidrome. Have been streaming my music from my desktop for the past 3 months. Pretty satisfying. I haven’t done the fancy lyric stuff yet though.

I really don’t think it is. For one thing, there’s texted added to it that certainly wasn’t part of the original. Then there’s the matter of multiple versions of a similar line-drawing with text in the center floating around. And then finally, no mainstream media has released the image. It seems like someone just mocked this up and posted it on twitter.

Although I’d be happy to be proven wrong.

Thats not the real thing though, is it?

I use inaturalist. You essentially take a pic, upload it, add info about its location and stuff, and it goes into a feed where others will see suggest the scientific name.

Yeah. In middle school I was gonna be an NBA player 😂

Damn.

best phone ever. miss that back fingerprint sensor
