That’s blatantly false, and extensively debunked by Brett Deveraux in a series of articles: https://acoup.blog/2020/01/17/collections-the-fremen-mirage-part-i-war-at-the-dawn-of-civilization/

I do listen to whatever I like thank you, but it happens my tastes are limited. And I don’t give a shit what others are listening, as long as they don’t force on me.

I used to be an In Flames fan when I got into metal, but I grew out of it and can’t stand that shit anymore. With maybe the exception of a little Amon Amarth.

I’m the gatekeeper, but I only listen to death, grind and doom. Everything else is more or less bullshit. Especially melodeath.

That’s only one of the reasons. Every political topic is used as a justification. I saw a leaflet just today that mentioned a dozen things that were used to motivate people.

It used to be more or less unperishable due to its very low water content that prevented bacterial growth, but not anymore. It’s cheaper to leave humidity in it, so now it should not be given to babies less than 1 year old due to the risk of botulism.

There are some flaws, but the 1st and 2nd books are really gripping. The Netflix series is a free-form adaptation that does not really lends justice to the novels.

Disagree, as op said the 3rd book is IMHO weaker, and the ending is kinda rushed and disappointing.

I’ve heard that factoid numerous times over the years, but I never saw a single source for it. I’d love to read more about this.

Behind the front is a building that looks a lot like what you’re seeing.That’s a common practice to make the construction work less visible. Of course, it’s less useful when there’s a giant red banner in the middle of it.

Thank you, thought police! I was about to make an illegal joke but your comment saved civilization from it.

So we’re gatekeeping humor now?

Easier said than done. I know of IPFS, but how widespread and easy to use is it?

Or, you know, just use plain old numerals that almost everyone on earth can read and understand without needing a translation in the first place. Why the fuck do people need to bring LLMs where it’s not needed ? Is it to pump their NVDA stocks?

Why use abbreviations in your preferred language when you can have a solution that is language-agnostic and universal (for a given calendar) ?

Coffee lovers and cappuccino are mutually exclusive terms IMHO :D.

I don’t know of any data plan that limits on the upload. Caps are usually on the download side, and TFA says it does not download the server response.

A basic GET request, even with a long querystring, will be negligible even on a 1998 dial-up connection.

Castrator is an all-women death metal band that fucking rips everything apart. Merlin has a female singer, vocals are so harsh I listened to it for years before knowing it was a woman.

Have you thought about having better taste and listen to bands other than one-hit wonders ?
