He clearly means the opposite

I was a bit confused by the use of "theft", for anyone else wondering they mean it in the opposite way most people think, where it's not the companies that are investing big ££££ into robbing us blind every minute, but actually normal people who are using electricity without gasp forking over the small monthly million pound tribute willingly.

What do you actually mean?

I don't want to be mean but you have to actually use words to be a bit more descriptive than that and maybe think about it some more.

If the posts are irrelevant - subscribe to different communities? How do you normally decide on these things, like e.g. how do you find YouTube channels to subscribe to and how do you decide which of these to watch? Are you applying the same logic here? If not, why not? If yes, then what's the aspect of the usual/expected outcome that is missing?

Yeah that show is a slow burner vibe thing and i think you were right to stop watching it because you gotta meet it where it's at - messy, creative, emblematic of the paperback sci-fi classics, not quite so neat as something like Expanse or Star Trek in terms of structure and plot and character taking a backseat to the themes, it's less Stellaris, more Solaris, less Mass Effect and more No Man's Sky.

This show to the original BSG is like Primer to Back to the Future.

What helped me through is I just enjoy military dramas so the standalone episodes like the one about the industrial workers and such just kept me engaged in the moment as episodic adventures and so I was in no hurry for a thread to follow, though the arc in S2 and onto the climax in Season 4.

It's not everyone's cup of tea but I do find this show beautiful in a way,

What stock ticker app is this?

Every day the bait gets lower and lower effort

I think in the middle east group they can chown woman, and that is probably coming to the America group in the next patch.

I have a high aversion to echo chambers because I too am a human same as everyone and find people just agreeing with me grossly unstimulating and seek out takes opposite to mine to understand them, deconstruct them and apply them to my own views either to refine/change them with a newly gained perspective or to argue against the opposing view.

I blocked all of those people because they are just unsalvageable people in my view. I was discussing the finer points of relative drug danger with some guy in a thread, talking about hypothetical lethal dosages for ht-2a classical psychedelics, and the guy was bringing up "Woodstock" and "brown acid" and how he "heard of a guy" etc etc.

There's no point discussing anything ever with a person like that, it's clear that we think along such different lines the differences are irreconcilable, like trying to convince someone not to be a bigot or disprove someone's belief in religion/conspiracy with evidence and reason, when they just believe in that stuff, they don't think about it and weren't reasoned into it.

Same!

Blocked for calling anarchists absurd.

That is a dumb take and you could look it up on Wikipedia if you cared and iota to read many influential anarchist authors e.g. Kropotkin or Grabber, but trying to prove wrong every wrong person on the internet I'd never have time for myself so I'm moving on.

I have blocked 264 users, 9 communities and 4 instances and it's made Lemmy much better for me toxicity wise. Whenever a debate gets toxic or someone starts just insulting or discussing in bad faith or I just get a bad vibe from them - I block.

Lmao that's a good one.

Hahaha I always do this with chemical brothers because of "my chemical romance" which is a very different band, well spotted.

I was pretty confused for a moment reading this, thinking you were pumping music into your spinal cord or something then I realized it was speakers you're talking about haha

You don't need PR for that necessarily but yeah I see your point.

And then you have apps that will use their own DNS silently instead of the NS you point them to...

Gonna have to go with My Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar for just the best bass drop in general. Like a whole new world. But it's not a headbanger or anything.

If you want a headbanger: Born Slippy by NUXX

There's also Livin' Loose by George Clanton with a legendary bass drop, but it's not very high energy, more like chilled out:

If you do want a bit more high energy:

Quicksand by Sweet Valley

If you want even more high energy and never heard of Sweet Trip, (or in general if you haven't heard of Sweet Trip), I highly recommend it.

It's one of those bands that you gotta listen to before you die because there's nothing quite like them out there, even if you don't end up liking them, the fact anyone makes music like this is pure enrichment of the human experience.

Tekka by Sweet Trip

Pro:lov:ad by Sweet Trip

Also if you like that song above, check out this fan-made music video by rigging a facegen AI to react to the beat of the music

If you want something more normal:

I wait for u (by the telephone) - Figurine

If modern electronic/rap is also okay: check out this, it's basically death grips but less over the top experimental:

Not that I'm anywhere by Cities Aviv

And as an extra non-EDM "epic bass drop" (well more like drums kicking in), I can't help but mention this:

Talking Distance by Soundbeam Sound Machine

and

Doomsday by Speedy Ortiz.

EDIT: sorry if that's too many! It was hard to narrow it down to so few of my all time favourites that fit the criteria or that I think OP will like!

That'll just give more seats to reform.
