I like American music. Do you like American music? I like American music, too, baby.

I tried using the one that spontaneously generates text adventures, but they kept turning porny.
Like I knew that you would!
I myself am Christian and have never had trouble getting along with others no matter their religious beliefs. The only conflict is when someone thinks their religion or religious precepts should be made law; I have no tolerance for that.
Used kids bike for my daughter, she's grown out of hers.
Older millennial here. I came here a year ago.
I'll point out that many creatures that have seasonal mating still mate for life.
Except, presumably, all the people he beat out for the nomination.
Look, I loved Dave too, but it was fiction.
It is what we make of it, and I need it to be the latter rather than the former.
The Democratic National Committee - the ruling elite of the Democratic Party. I'm saying the people want effective governance but the party just wants power.
Like hell. It's a ranked threaded discussion forum.
You and I need that. Does the DNC?
Diplomatico is so good!
Because, realistically, he won't listen.
Biden won't either, because he's already proved he can win this race and you don't retire a winning horse.
Same for me. I will be in agony until reconciliation is made.
Don't speak for me, thanks.
My position is "let kids be kids" or maybe more like "let students be students". We expect a college degree for most jobs these days, so if it's a requirement let's, as a society, act like it and prioritize their potential for growth while they have it.
provide free transportation
I'm totally on board with this.
Any higher on marriage would be antinatalist, but I'm willing to go higher on driving for sure.
The post topic is "hot takes", so my "always curtail driving" position is technically on-topic for the larger thread. ;]
ABC News: Chicago police tweak mass arrests policy ahead of Democratic National Convention
Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling is touting the nation's second-largest police department as fully prepared for protests ahead of the Democratic National Convention, including on a new mass arrest policy
How do we feel about this? Article makes it sound like there will be a greater emphasis on deëscalation and oversight, but is that enough of a change?
I stopped telling "Yo Mama" jokes because they were déclassé.
Now I tell Yo-Yo Ma jokes, which are much classier.

Thought I was going to have to wait until next year for a snow Pikmin...
Nope! Had to quick charge my radar, but o e last day of snow got it for me!
The Killers - The Cowboy's Christmas Ball [music video]

This is one of my favorite songs off my Xmas playlist. The Michael Martin Murray original is also good, but I prefer the sound of the Killers' cover, and the video only makes it weirder.
Also one of the best descriptions of American folk dancing in popular media.
Atomic Robo - Knights of the Golden Circle
The robot punches monsters and bad robots and one time he was a cowboy.
Atomic Robo is a comic book, mirrored on the web, about alternate history. In this arc, the eponymous hero has been sent back in time to the Old West... where he finds an old enemy who hasn't met him yet.

Is Dune isekai?
Paul is transported to another world where he doesn't know the rules and has to start over in a strange land. He befriends the locals, goes on adventures, becomes their leader, and eventually saves the planet.
What do we think?
I use a to-do list to remember important tasks. But if I am anxious about a task, just looking at the list triggers my anxiety.
Often I end up closing the list and immediately turning to self-soothing. And because there's no way to know in advance if a task on the list will give me anxiety, this often results in my list being not just unusable but unreadable, preventing me from doing or even remembering the non-anxiety tasks on the same list.
DIY / Off-Grid / Homesteading Communities
If you're interested in gardening or ecology, the entire Solarpunk instance (slrpnk.net) is full of great munis for you. Here's all of those plus some from other instances.
Cycling and bicycle communities
I think the following is a comprehensive list of cycling munis:
Went on All today and saw many posts celebrating Sen. Feindtein's recent passing. Why is she so hated on the left?
I'm not from California, so I don't know much about her; but this genuinely surprised me, especially how vicious and vitriolic the comments were. What's going on there?

I can't remember how I first came across this song: My wife says I played it for her, but I remember her playing it for me. The important thing is that we both love it, which believe you me, is not all that common.
I love it because it's rollicking and high-energy and earnest. I eventually looked up the lyrics (which are in Catalan) and it's a pretty normal love song with some nice sentiments, but the passion and desire come across in the vocal tone, even through a language barrier.
If you like Yo La Tengo or The Magnetic Fields, this song will probably hit the spot for you.
And if anyone has more music that sounds like this, send it my way. I'm always expanding my library.
