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 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.
How am I meant to fuck off from work for an hour to go to the store? Even if grocery stores sold electronics which they don't, everything closes at 6PM latest. On Saturdays it's 3PM, even if I could carry enough to shop for an entire week ahead on my back.
I mean, I don't think my example is an extreme, like I work from home every single day and have always done so, there are no longer stores around me that sells any electronics, and as I don't drive, I get it delivered, which is the primary and most of the time the only way of buying anything that isn't groceries for me these days.
If anything my example is an extremely down to earth grass-touch-core argument built off explicitly literally what my life is in the most literal sense wholly about the basic material realities of it, and it highlights the problems with their their absolutist internet-extremist-silliness-core-ass rhetoric. I don't get in any way how it's "extreme" or "equivalent" to the other user's batshit insane propositions.
Are you one of those "everything is equivalent both sides" type people?
Are you implying I in any way disagree with the actual rhetoric of "let's have less car-centric infrastructure?" Because I don't and I never stated that. Moreover I do agree with you though, I don't drive and I hate cars anyway. I just don't like that user's rhetoric because it smells like degrowth ecofash type rhetoric, which is extremely harmful and leads to NIMBYism and as such worsening material conditions and issues like homelessness and poverty traps and enriches landlords.
Environment good because it makes things for people better, not as a thing unto itself. On that basis and only on that basis with that reasoning as the guiding and completely overriding principle - I agree, fuck cars. 👍
So I guess we're gonna have a far right government next election then when this is inevitably dragged out until the rich can buy the election by drumming up enough hate to make the average Brit spit in their tea if they thought it'd make immigrants/transes/youth sad.
I'm sorry to soapbox about politics in a tech thread, but this charade of "law and order" and endless debate about the actual merits of the actual lawsuit under the actual law are so tiresome when these corpos just bypass this shit anyway.
How are deliveries going to work, exactly? If I order a computer, what, I can't have it anymore because some dumb ecofash said so? And before you go all "hurr durr go 2 ze store" I can't, I WFH, as should everyone who can, in part - to save the environment.
Are you fucking dense? I just told you that I'm also ESL, I don't make such typos, it's no excuse at all and makes it make not an iota more sense than saying the pigs are flying hence people's spelling fell off a fucking cliff.
Lemmy is def not it, I moved here a year or more ago, the spelling has gotten very bad very recently and I only use this platform pretty much and this is where I've seen it the most by far.
So true. People are likely being fucked up by poor autocorrect algos, as I noticed even mine messing up and turned it off outright, because I blind type like 89wpm on my phone anyway so I'm fine without it. Then they're defending it like ignorant fools that they are, reasoning backwards and perpetuating anti-intellectualism
Yes yes you and many others have pointed this dumb take out already. I'm also a second language English speaker, and no one in my family even speaks English or ever has, and I'd never make a mistake like this.
On the surface the ruling isn't awful because it's the old TERF play of: "they're entitled to protection from discrimination on the basis of their transgender characteristic but not under the basis of being a woman", so effectively it means that under the eyes of the law a "trans woman" is the characteristics "man" + "transgender" which is essentially how the TERFs see it with their newspeak slurs ("TIM","TIL").
But de-facto this has already long been the case anyway. The real reason trans women have any legal protections remaining at all is because it's a violation of privacy to actually go and check if someone has had a GRC and this ruling doesn't change that and even reasserts that in some situations trans women are entitled to protections based on perceived sex, as improvable and meaningless as that is.
I think the real play here is to clarify that the GRA and the EA2010 are in contradiction because the latter refers to "biological sex", because that is a cassus beli for repealing the GRA outright, which is the ultimate goal.
We lost the war, and this is the enforcement settlement.
Here's your fine democracy hard at work. On the other hand the house of lords before the supreme court never pulled shit like this, schadenfreude is in full swing on /r/LabourUK from assorted democracy defenders.
Idgaf about any politics anymore, all I want is revenge.
To all the trans folks who kept their head in the sand pretending everything was fine seeing stats from yougov like vast majority of the public being against our healthcare and only increasing - you're the enemy too.
And then you have apps that will use their own DNS silently instead of the NS you point them to...
