And it’s going to be sold out in no time with that kind of lineup.

Another variation of that is claiming how getting sick repeatedly is somehow beneficial for getting a strong immune system. That ignores research, as children who have a lot of common infections early in life have higher risk of moderate to severe infections and antibiotic use throughout childhood. That also ignores viruses for which a durable immunity isn’t currently possible, such as COVID.

EDIT: Basically the immunity system doesn’t work like a muscle.

I checked his Wikipedia page two hours ago and his birth date was stated to be in 1970… then I changed the headline. But apparently this isn’t the case.

To paraphrase Jaden Smith, “How can sandwiches be real if our mouths aren’t real?”

Nope, I deleted my account in summer 2022 after it had been inactive since March 2021. I read enough about how unethical company Meta is, and enough was enough for me. I can find anything I want or need from the platform elsewhere.

It must have been somewhere around early 2020 when I was casually browsing Mastodon. I found about a federated Reddit alternative and got immediately interested. I registered to Lemmy.ml and in 2021 founded Sopuli when federation got implemented properly. And here I am!

Musk’s grift is to portray himself as a some kind of “rebel” against the establishment and elites, as a “good guy”, even though he belongs to the elites as a billionaire.

My resolution? 1920 x 1080, same as it has been since 2010.

The same thing happened when Microsoft’s Bing AI launched.

When Clickhole was under The Onion, they had a parody of InfoWars named PatriotHole. This is like a circle closing. Definitely the funniest news I read today, there’s some justice in today’s world!

My view on “Youthanasia” is mixed. It’s evident how Dave Mustaine wanted to chase the top of the charts and how many metal bands had a hard time staying relevant in the 90s. With 1992’s “Countdown to Extinction” Dave already attempted to streamline Megadeth’s sound in a similar manner to what Metallica did with their “Black Album” and it yielded success, so “Youthanasia” was the next logical step forward. The album succeeds in that streamlining, but it happens with costs one can expect.

The overall mix is softer and more polished but it feels duller, especially compared to 1990’s “Rust in Peace”. Many songs have their tempo approximately at 120 BPM as the producer Max Norman wanted so, and their structure is conventional verse-chorus-type of thing. The strength of early Megadeth was in quirky song structures: technical guitar riffs, fast tempos and abrupt changes mixed in, and Mustaine snarled on top of it. “Youthanasia” has all that replaced with catchier songs and Mustaine attempting to sing melodically (“A Tout le Monde” as a good example). Yes, I get that Megadeth wanted to expand their sound and do something different, but is that evolution or many steps back? One’s mileage may vary.

I hear you! Seems that the community was set as NSFW so it isn’t visible for users who haven’t enabled NSFW content. Due to the community’s content it’s rather obvious why it was set as NSFW. It’s up to the community’s moderators to set the community as SFW if they want so. Even though I’m Sopuli’s admin, I can’t edit communities I don’t also moderate.

It totes doesn’t sound there’s any agenda hidden…

Don’t they remember what is said in the Ten Commandments? “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me."

Of course if they are the megachurch type of Christians, their only real god is money.
