If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently?

Jump

  • I ask my friends. Well, friend.

    Honestly, the recommendations from Spotify are often terrible, but occasionally give me something I like. I believe that free Spotify still has recommendations, does it not?

    The other thing is radio. Yes, radio! Find a station you like and stream it, since they're all streaming now as well as broadcasting.

    Our local station is awesome.

    • Most Albertans Will Soon Have to Get Out Their Wallets for COVID Shots

    Jump

  • Danielle Smith and her government are:

    • Anti-vaxx
    • Anti-science
    • Transphobic
    • Separatist
    • Corrupt
    • Evil

    • What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes?

    Jump

  • Portal I and II.

    Psychonauts I and II, with the caveat that there used to be a HUGE skill spike in the penultimate chapter of #1. I gather they've softened it, but don't know how much.

    • Which 'next' is Danielle Smith's Ottawa-affairs panel steering Alberta toward?

    Jump

  • It's just a typo.

    She meant to call it the "Alberta Nazi" panel.

    • Premier Smith says Albertans' desire for leaving Canada has never been higher

    Jump

  • "Premier Smith says..." lies.

    No article that starts with those three words can be called news.

    • Conservative influencers have gone silent on Pierre Poilievre

    Jump

  • ...named Jason Kenney.

    • Trump lashes out at Israel and Iran: 'They don't know what the f--- they're doing'

    Jump

  • It's almost as if he has no clue whatsoever about the history or politics of the Middle East.

    • SCOTUS allows Trump admin to deport people to random countries with no notice

    Jump

  • Wrong.

    It's not random.

    It's not deportation.

    The US government is trafficking humans.

    • Tarnished by Oct. 7, Netanyahu’s legacy may be reshaped by war with Iran

    Jump

  • Netanyahu's LEGACY?

    He's been a murderous genocidal fuck for his entire career, and is now carrying out his long-planned final action.

    His legacy is cruelty, intolerance, and death. Always has been.

    • Kamala Harris Didn’t Lose Because of Racism

    Jump

  • One political pundit blathers on about how the other pundits are wrong about an issue that's no longer important.

    Bleah.

    • What were some computer programs and games you grew up with?

    Jump

  • That's the reissue. Nice!

    • Trump Mobile launches $47 service and a gold phone

    Jump

  • Why mention it? Because the media has a DUTY to call out a corrupt government! Because they're not doing their job!

    • Judge says government can't limit passport sex markers for many transgender, nonbinary people

    Jump

  • They can't, but they will anyway.

    • Is it weird I sleep with an old blanket I've had since I was a young girl?

    Jump

  • It's unusual.

    It is absolutely NOT weird. If anything, it makes you more human.

    • Trump Mobile launches $47 service and a gold phone

    Jump

  • No discussion in the article about fraud or conflict of interest.

    • Trump Organization announces mobile plan, $499 smartphone

    Jump

  • Article's "key points" don't mention the massive criminal conflict of interest.

    • What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can make new friends?

    Jump

  • My experience is that they generally are, but if they're not they'll be very friendly in suggesting that they're not the right venue for you.

    If that sounds weird, go (or phone) and ask them. If they say "Well we've got a pretty hardcore community here," then that's a sign that maybe it's not where you should start. But gamers, on the whole, LOVE sharing their passion with new people.

    • Alberta Is Struggling to Keep Its Nurses and Teachers

    Jump

  • Heh. As bad as Ford is, I'd trade you for Smith in a heartbeat.

    Actually, maybe not - Smith could do much more damage with a province the size of Ontario.

    • Alberta Is Struggling to Keep Its Nurses and Teachers

    Jump

  • No, they're not really.

    Alberta (i.e. the provincial government) isn't struggling to keep them, it's actively discouraging them from staying. They're getting underpaid, public schools are underfunded and overcrowded, the curriculum is being rewritten by racists to promote a Eurocentric perspective (along with "don't bother with university," and "O&G are our friends!"), and generally making things as horrible as they can.

    They are deliberately, methodically, maliciously driving good teachers away from the province and undermining public education, in order to force the adoption of charter and private schools.

    There is no struggle, only harm.

    • Could You Prove You’re a Citizen? For Americans wrongfully detained by ICE, it can be nearly impossible to escape.

    Jump

  • So many things wrong with this headline.

    • It is 'nearly impossible to escape' FOR ANYONE, not just US citizens. By design.
    • You can be in the US legitimately without being a citizen.
    • ANY AND EVERY detainment by ICE is wrongful.
    • You are not legally required to provide ID to authorities. In some states you can be compelled to provide your full name and possibly your address, ONLY if there is reasonable suspicion against you.
