They both had releases in the last couple months, very different from what they have done before. I don't understand why the age of the act makes my argument that there's still good music being made and released right now any worse.

There are younger acts with good music, too, and plenty of people have mentioned them in other threads.

I agree, it is really hyperbolic, and it's likely not to go that way. But it lays out the limitations and dangers of giving the streets to private companies and having transit be held hostage.

Legitimate question: wasn't it announced that there was a ceasefire deal today?

Yeah, when King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is releasing new music, or when Godspeed you! Black Emperor has a new banger of an album calling attention to the genocide, you can't just say "there's no good music around"

Chinese people are not immune to techbro brainworms though, just look how popular Melon and Tesla are in the PRC.

You just described a food court

Idk if this is the case. Maybe in the more and suburban areas, but regional cuisines still exist, especially where there is a healthy population of non-Anglo descended people. Louisiana comes to mind, not to mention native American cuisines as examples.

Sometimes a meal needs more fat or more acid, and condiments are a good way to do that.

Their vegan mayo is pretty good, in my opinion. That being said, once you learn how to make your own mayo it's game over for any industrial one.

Yeah, I don't have any friends from engineering school anymore, but it's also because I took such a radically different path after graduating that we just kind of fell off. I know some engineers who seem to be cool, but no one I know for sure.

Can other STEM disciplines get as smug as CSers are? I’d love to have a civil engineer and an urban planner laugh at these dipshits for claiming we should abolish public transport for their technoslop.

Oh they can, in my experience mechanical and aeronautical engineers do it a lot. Not to mention chemical engineers who have a very material reason to be kissing big oil and big processed food's ass.

Engineering school is where humility goes to die, the worst part about chemical engineering school was dealing with the overinflated egos of everyone, from professors to freshpeople.

I don't think anyone here needs convincing about why self driving cars are a terrible idea, but Not Just Bikes posted a video about it some days ago laying out how dire it really is if we allow self-driving cars to go on unquestioned

I have and will continue to bang men, but I couldn't stand grindr. It's just really slimy.

The problem with that is that many of them are immune to irony. They'll run with the most absurd scenarios if they confirm their hateful prejudices. For example, the whole migrants eating pets thing.

Not to mention that giving chuds more reasons to be mad at marginalized people just puts marginalized peoples in danger of having one of the chuds exact stochastic violence on them

I knew I had read about it somewhere. Thanks!

I agree with you. Besides, I think disenchantment can be a powerful motivator for somebody to go through a change in values, and start to act in reparation of their victims. It happened in South Africa, it's happening in Colombia, and it is a very important part of moving past damaging conflict.

Everywhere around the world food is this amazing place of dignity and resistance for marginalized peoples that I just can't help to keep wanting to work with it and write about it all the time.

Didn't a big poster start a struggle session and eventually got banned for defending the "troops are workers" position?

This is great news. Time to watch Agadmator's breakdown of the match and pretend my 1500 ass understands what's going on.

My ecology professor during my masters did his doctoral thesis on the traditional food ways of the sahrawi and their relationship with the camels they herd, and comparing it with the way people eat in the refugee camps in Algeria. It's a beautiful dissertation, inspiring and insightful. It fills you with respect and reverence for the strength and sensibility of the Sahrawi. One of the most admirable people I know, just an amazing human being. He sent me down a path of ecological resistance through understanding and upholding food and agriculture as a means of struggle.
