Bandcamp is what my bands like to use. They often have events (Bandcamp Fridays) where 100% of purchases go to the artists. Some bands also make decent money off merch sales from their own storefronts

As a trekkie, I'm extra offended that he's tainting the name USS Defiant

Since day one, we have stood with the artist community against piracy, and we are actively working with our industry partners to protect creators and defend their rights.

Lmao. They protect and defend artist rights so hard they they've refused to pay a fair compensation, and have taken it further by promoting AI artists over actual artists. This statement is almost comical after it was reported that they've had copy cats to replace King Glizard and the Lizard Wizard when they pulled their albums from Spotify

I hate celery but love cilantro.

Weirdly, after I had covid cilantro tasted like perfume and I couldn't stand it. I was very worried that it would forever be a ruined flavor, because it does definitely overpower food. Thankfully it's gone back to normal lol

I was raised Catholic, and I asked my mother once why we never saw women as deacons or priests. I was told that women should not be permitted to teach (scripture). There's a few verses about that in the new testament, in Timothy specifically if I recall correctly.

Imagine how confusing that was for me considering most of the faculty at the Catholic school were nuns! Or that my mother herself was Catechism teacher for Confirmation.

Love the fake book directly in view lol. I wonder what he keeps in it

Everyone's getting blepharoplasties lately. Her lips are looking like Kylie Jenner's now, too (nerve damage leaving one side higher than the other)

I agree with the others to have a bunch of hobbies to pick from. For the record I have been on stims daily, but now I use a non-stim with an occasional boost from a mild stim.

• I like gaming because there is always a new game to try.
• I like sewing because I often need to repair something and occasionally I think of something that I can't buy in a store.
• I like gardening because I like cooking, and it's fun to have fresh ingredients that I grew myself.
• Some people like learning an instrument because there are always new songs and styles to try

Ultimately, what my ADHD brain craves is novelty, and I can only really get that from a variety in my activities.

I think you mean Jainism? It isn't Hindu.

They also have a very strict vegetarian diet, they won't even eat root vegetables so burrowing insects aren't disturbes

I feel like Spotify's recommendations have seriously gone downhill in the last two or three years. Most of the new music I actually like I've found in music comms on Lemmy

I'm not here to downplay those problems in China. They are serious. But, that's not the government saying they don't care about children, it's saying that they have their own racist and bigoted political problems.

And, if you've paid any attention, the US is doing really similar things and has been for a long time. We made some progress with the Civil rights movement, but we still have Black people arrested at 2x the rate of white, 37% of the prison pop is Black while they only represent 13% of the general pop. The education system has all but erased the cultural roots of Black Americans, and God forbid a Black teen uses slang to communicate. Most of the sectioning off of voting areas in the US is to minimize their and other minority's voting power. For now it's still legal to say "Hey this influencer really made life bad for me, and I'm okay with him being dead", but it may not remain legal for long. EPA regulations are being dissolved, but the biggest problems will affect traditionally/forced Black neighborhoods.
