The fact that this still got 14 downvotes. Wow...

Edit: Also these BrainInABox and Cowbee communist apologists are really begging for a block or even a ban. Absolutely despicable. Might they be bots or trolls of somekind? They seem to have an awful lot of time on their hands.

Healthcare is quite distinctly a US problem. Canada has free healthcare. So do all EU countries as far as I know.

Bizarre assumption that I'd be going to Reddit, as if Reddit and Lemmy are the entire internet.

Romania has had social-democrats in charge for a long while now. I can assure you it is not "building towards communism"

Socialism may be a transitional phase into communism, yes. But social-democrats are not communists.

Communism is when my uncle was killed for dissent. You want social democracy, not communism

The fact that this has 600+ upvotes is... major fucked up.

EDIT: the image is tagged "@proudSocialist". Any "proud socialist" would know that socialism and communism are not the same... Wow...

EDIT 2: If this gets more downvotes than upvotes I will gladly leave Lemmy. Have at it. :)

Nice! You're the first person so far to say you go to concerts more often since covid.

Me too on the genres. I seem to broaden my horizons more and more as time goes by. I'm glad I didn't end up being one of those people who only listens to what they liked in high-school

You don't sound boring! You sound smart!

Try Senner or Etymotic earplugs. And put them in right after you enter the venue. All that chatting people do before the show will, if anything, at least be exhausting for your mind.

I love a good place to hide in plain sight

Best one so far 😆

Joe Rogan identifies as a South Park character: offensive and two-dimensional

Oh no ☹️ I'm sorry...

I also have tinnitus. Mine is permanent. It never goes away at all. I got it in my teens from my guitar amp... ☹️ Never a day I don't regret it. Same about a Linkin Park show too. I was gonna catch their second-to-last concert before Chester went but I was out of town.

I used to go to shows almost weekly when I was living in London (UK). Now I live in a relatively small city so I rarely get to go.

I feel you. I go to concerts IN SPITE of the crowds. 😆 And I have not set foot in a stadium in 12 years and I'm not planning to ever again. Theatre, pub or no go.

And I always always always wear earplugs. The good kind, not the pharmacy kind, cause those just make the loud music sound like muffled music.

Ah, dang... that's sad. ☹️

Aren't we all really in a search party looking for ourselves? 😔

Other industries... ?

I get around it by using Qwant

He'd ignore me then yell "I knew it! I'm going bald!"

15-hour weeks? Man! I'd make a killing teaching guitar to all those bored office workers!
