So what your saying is that one of the very tools that people used to protest, is now being used to perpetuate the very thing they were protesting?

Why am I not surprised.

Who would buy moose poop necklaces? Much less giraffe?

Is there some fad I'm missing?

Sounds like it would be a great time to buy up countries in default, just like in the American housing market.../s

A newer one I thought was good for not alot of gore was The Night House.

Definitely second The Ritual and Hush.

I'm not sure if it counts as horror per se but Horse Girl was unsettling.

And maybe I'm dorky but The Babadook was actually really good with a kinda happy ending.

And I'm unsure if The Wailing technically fits everyone's definition of no gore. I mean, it's not a slasher movie by any means, but there is blood (although its mostly on the living) and ghosts that are definitely dead.

ahh. guess I missed the part where the images were deleted by a lemmy.world admin...whoops

I was missing a bunch of comments up until recently ... the must check English language box in a brower on instance site, not in app, issue...

Nah, I like the stuff that gets posted on here. Brings back memories, and honestly I'm sometimes surprised when I see stuff that I didn't think anyone else even heard of. I think there was a dovetail joint song on here a while back that I was surprised anyone remembered, much less listened too, lol.

Thats good advice. I do check out the college radio from time to time. I used to be in the car alot more, which was where I got most of my radio time. Checking labels is good advice. I never thought of It really. I alot of times I would just start checking chart archives for anything that would catch my attention then go find playlists and stuff with that artist in it. Lots of time, esp. with user playlists, you can find some off the beaten path artists on it.

I have a couple of subfocus and chase and status tracks in my playlists. And this old Adam freeland (not adam f) cd from that time i went to Bonnaroo and loved the live set. I cannot dubstep though.... ambient is OK. They have this radio show called Chillville on our local alternative station on Sunday mornings I used to listen to on occasion. It can be nice depending on my mood, but typically it's too liable to induce sleep. I can do like straight techno that sometimes is thought of as ambient, since it's just the music, but I drink way to much coffee to handle anything that doesn't match my caffeine level.

I saw this last night while searching for an answer to a totally different question

I know this post was a month ago, but maybe this still applies.

It's almost like you started reading this Time Article but never finished.

Or maybe this sciences times article

While the consensus is out about whether or not or attention spans are really shortening, most sources say whatever is going on, isn't permanent...yet.

We still have the ability to unplug and find something that's truly interesting to us, something that we care about, and focus on it. We just have to find it, and then, actually do it.

Yeah...

point is they didn't even catch it the first time...

Or they run every test under the sun and then ignore, misread, or plain refuse to treat the results.

The blood work shows that your blood sugar is borderline diabetic, your kidneys are failing and the xray shows a fracture... your fine, go home.

Cause well, fuck your diabetes, we won't give dialysis until your number of 16 gets to 14 even though the normal is 60 and all the rest of what's off relates to your kidneys, and we can't do anything for that fracture in your sternum anyways, nevermind, that we didn't see it until you came back complaining of chest pain...

This might be a loaded question, lol, sooo...

Traditionally, I like alternative / rock from all eras, although im probably most familiar with the late 90's - 10's. With some typical pop and hip hop-ish stuff sprinkled in.

A few years back i started getting frustrated with, what i percieved, as a lack of everything. Simple beats, dumbed down lyrics, grating voices... i got snobby. It got to the point where everything new comming out, was actually annoying me. I figured if it had to lack substance, at least it could have a good beat. So, i ended up listening to alot of electronic music. I'm pretty up to date with dance and house now.

Really, I'm good with most genres, save country, classical, and jazz. Although, some "country" from the early 00's can be ok. More popular Keith Urban or Kenney Chesney songs are fine, although, i guess i consider that more pop crossover.

I used to be up on all the new music and go to all the shows, but the shows stopped after marrage and my snobby self has fallen behind with the new music, although I recently discovered free vevo and xite with my Samsung TV and I've been impressed enough with some of the newer stuff to want to maybe give it another go.

All I ever get is the damn album cover, offical audio, and some live stuff. I have to scroll a few down to find the actual video, and by then I've ended up on so many stills I give up on thinking there's a video...

Maybe they've been getting back at me all these years for turning off my history. Or maybe my google fu is poor. Oh well.

Edit: that's why I'm happy to have found this community of fine folks.

I don't understand how I've never seen half the videos of some of my favorite songs. I truly didn't think this one even had a video... thanks you tube for giving me crap search results.

And a real thank you to all the people here that open my eyes.

Recently I had a request to post a gif somewhere, and gifhy was the only thing that I knew was mostly legit. I tried directly uploading, but it didn't want to work.

Is there a better place, you'd recommend, to direct people to for gif uploads?

If a good friend or best friend tells you a ridiculous secret, don't under any circumstances, no matter how much time has past, no matter how silly the secret seems, don't tell it to anyone else, ever.

I learned this the hard way...it's usually a test.

Idk, the website doesnt work for me, but...

The state is using Education Savings Accounts, which is essentially tax payer and private funded. We all pay taxes to our school districts, well here in Texas we have this thing called the "Robin Hood" program. They "recapture" money from rich school districts and disburse it to poorer districts. The state then pays out to the schools per child in attendance.

For every child that is taken out of public school, they remove that funding from the public school (since that child is no longer attending) and put it into an Education Saving Account, which is their way of getting around that pesky separation of church and state stuff. (Thanks, Arizona) Instead of that money going directly to the school the child is now attending, they give the money to the parents, so they can buy new flat screen tvs pay the private school of their choice.

And of course you also have all the "donations" from "people who care about the children's education." (See everyone about to make bank from this shiny, new privatized school system)

As it is with all the laws these asshats come up with, these parents are celebrating the idea, but, of course not realizing, in the long run, its actually removing choice, not giving you more. What happened to your boot straps, people?

I found this the other say on a post here somewhere. I clicked on surprise me, and I tell you I was suprised!

It took me to a radio show archive with stations from around the world with 60s - 00s shows and music, and news dating back to the 1920s.

It was awesome, and I wouldn't shut up about it..

Aww. Guess he made nice with the guy he pissed off.

This is so gross.
