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 don't have a personal definition of value, because I'm not a megacorporation.

How often does this happen in your area?

Ok but how does this stuff keep happening to Boeing planes?

Actually I'm going to go prevent a young person from killing themselves, just to watch you cry.

What do you think of the term "short king" as a term that's supposed to champion body positivity for men?

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.

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.

I'm glad you specified Russia's Putin, so I know it's not one of those other Putins.

As an unemployed millennial, I also fear this. I've been looking into how to survive as a homeless man and it doesn't look very enticing.

sentient_loom ,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah I should get a sugar mama.

Gym membership for exercise and showering were legit part of my plan. And somewhere to store a laptop (locker) was vaguely part of it too.

But I don't think I have the constitution for sleeping rough. Maybe I'd surprise myself. I feel like I'd get lots of reading and writing done.

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.

sentient_loom ,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

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.

sentient_loom ,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

I never suggested they should let her stay there. But they don't get a gold star for kicking her out nicely either.

sentient_loom ,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

a small measure of good

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.

sentient_loom ,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

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.

sentient_loom ,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

They didn't look the other way. They kicked her out. And I don't blame them. But neither do I praise them or call them good.

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.

Because Lemmy is one attempt to do the exact opposite. Seems pretty obvious to me.

Also, Cory Doctorow's troll army is working full time.*

Besides lemmy, what's another good reddit alternative?

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 still want to know exactly what they're talking about. But since they didn't respond I assume they're going on about nothing.

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.

sentient_loom ,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

With sudo access? Can you suggest some? I did tons of research and rarely found anything less than $70/month.
