Muse. They are almost too perfect live. It feels uncanny.

I saw Tool live at a festival in 2019. I had never heard of them before, I’m more of a punk rock guy. Their show absolutely blew me away. Surreal experience. I’ve listened to their albums a lot ever since.

Fairphone has headphones and earbuds with replaceable batteries. They’re pretty expensive, but show that the big players could easily provide the same level of repairability.

I use wired headphones at my desk, but I really don’t want to go back to wired for when I’m on the go.

I replaced most cloud services with my own Nextcloud instance. I like Nextcloud.

Very edgy. Care to elaborate?

Is that really a good thing for the animals though? Instead of being killed right away, they will suffer a short miserable life, then be killed.

Suffering is not a binary. It will massively increase under Trump compared to any democrat.

Harris and Biden are conservatives. No the conditions didn’t improve. But they sure as hell will deteriorate under Trump. Poor people, LGBT folk, women will all suffer greatly. And none of it has anything at all to do with the suffering in Palestine.

You’re not listening to me. In politics, there’s rarely “stopping the evil”. It’s not an all or nothing situation.

You act like there is no difference in outcome whether democrats or republicans win elections. You must either be very privileged or very ignorant.

And yet you didn’t fucking stop anything. The only way for you to improve anything was to vote for the lesser evil. Even in a more functional democracy with proportional voting, there is always only the lesser evil. The perfect choice doesn’t exist in societies as large as ours are.

If the options are evil and lesser evil, you are morally obligated to choose lesser evil. There is no neutral stance. If you didn’t vote for the democrats, you strengthened the republicans. Don’t call people morally bankrupt when you don’t know what you’re talking about. The US will regress into autocracy and people like you are partially responsible.

Id pronounce it similar to the German “ei” or the English “I”

I’m a little weird like that, I often listen to the whole discography if I find a single song or album I like. My music knowledge is very deep and but rather narrow

I usually only listen to one album at a time, front to back. But I think most people don’t do that.

Nobody who could use a truck uses a truck in Europe. Usually, a Van or something is the better choice. I don’t really understand the “american pick-up truck” form factor.
