Heavy metal. Lately it's been Vektor. Super intense futuristic prog-thrash. Pantera and Slayer have often been in the playlist, honorable mention to Metallica and Voivod.
I appreciate the poster who said they listen to classical music so they can focus on form instead of rage-lifting. I might try that some time. Not today though.
Edit:
In the replies I see lots of playlists from [the one music steaming pile to rule them all] and I'd like to say that I buy albums and play them on a music playing app (Neutron in my case). Mentioning just to balance the replies. Not everything needs to be an ad for [the one steaming pile of music]
I’ve spent my life wasting my time, rationalized with words. In terms of my own human life, I’ve reached for a vague sense of meaning, purpose, significance… and value. At least, value of distinct characteristics of instances relatable THROUGH those characteristics measured....

Body positivity is such a strange concept to me. There's efforts to reclaim words while simultaneously calling them bad if used as an insult. Ideally, people wouldn't be offended by someone describing their body with common descriptors, but socially there is so much value attributed to certain body types that it's almost...
5"10 isn't short anyway. I think it's average? "Short king" is trolling 100% of the time. I won't call it gaslighting (a term I do apply to "big dick energy") because it doesn't seek that level of psychological invasiveness. But it's not intended as a compliment. It's trolling. Don't feed the trolls.
When growing up my parents taught me to stand up to bullies. (We're talking about verbal abuse and manipulation, not physical bullying.) Following that advice as a kid led to mixed results yet it's stuck with me into my adult years....
Its not just about getting the outcome you want (the bully leaving you alone). It's about the personal habit of being equal to confrontation. Not being rolled over by fear. You don't need a resolution, you need to be upright and confident in the face of these sniveling weasels. They'll never go away. They're a permanent fixture. Learn to play in that world. That's the point.

cops and business owners in this situation actually seem to have behaved in a very humane and decent way
Well it's nice that they didn't beat her to death. But they still kicked her out and didn't actually provide any more help. "Services in the area" probably will be less adequate than what she'd had before they booted her.
I don't expect them to actually take care of her, but they don't get a gold star for declining to bludgeon, strangle, or imprison her. She's on her own.
Again, it's not praiseworthy that they merely declined to abuse her. I'm not scorning them, but they get zero credit for declining to abuse her (beyond the abuse of kicking her out with no help).
there's a very real chance that the contractors looked the other way
Without evidence, there's no point in this speculation unless you're hired by their PR to praise them (which seems unlikely).
the way this world gets less shitty is when more people start making these little steps towards revolutionary kindness and then those little steps start getting bigger and bigger
Sorry, but this is absolute nonsense. It's meaningless. She is homeless.
a woman with a home was made homeless
This is the only story. Let's not waste time praising the heroic saints who kicked her out.
There was no measure of good whatsoever. Her situation was made objectively worse, and we're presuming to praise those responsible merely for not making it even more worse. I'm not the one who created any doom or gloom. I didn't kick her out. And it's not cynical to sympathize with the homeless woman instead of with the people who kicked her out. Mate.
I'm not blaming the cop. But I'm also not praising him. Nobody here helped the woman. Let's just lament her homelessness without weirdly congratulating the people who kicked her out.
It was Havana syndrome, shot by a Jewish sound laser from space to make the guy crash in an attempted suicide bombing because USA is not helping Israel enough.
I am 100% serious and I have receipts.
Also the Jewish sound space laser is alien technology.
Hi! Recently exiled reddit user, here. I'm curious what other alternatives to reddit there are, besides Lemmy, and Raddle, of course. Also, imho, Phuks is a good alternative, there's no hate-speech (that I'm aware of) and people are pretty respectful. Anyways, let's hear your suggestions! Thank you!

I've been looking for a place to host web apps in whatever language (Rust, Nim, or whatever) and framework I want, where I can use my own domains and multiple apps, and have sudo access. And I don't want to pay $70/month for it. I gave up on that hunt (it might have been unrealistic), although I'll be researching some of the alternatives offered in these comments.
