Ahhh, k. Didn't know (though not surprised) the term is being used in that context. Suppose that says something about what I'm exposing myself to these days, so that's good to know.
Appreciate it!

I...simply don't know what to make of this. I'm a guy who finds himself thinking about the male loneliness epidemic a lot, and never in terms of finding a romantic/sexual partner. It's always about solid platonic bonds outside of that and kin, and factors that make those harder to find and maintain these days.
Is this just a shitpost and I'm too stupid to get the joke?
There seem to be at least some chapters who recognize this and are working on recruiting/retaining young blood, but idk - seems like a hard sell these days.
And this is coming from someone who likes the idea of all the rites and rituals and stuff. Shit just seems to get expensive the further along you go.
I'd say it's a little thornier than that. By tipping, you support the person who has to take the job that doesn't pay them a living wage. Absolutely, this can have the side effect of supporting the system creating this condition, but so too does patronizing businesses that employ this practice. The best move if you don't want to support the system is to not patronize businesses that function this way at all. Increasing corporate revenue while not contributing to the welfare of the person who had to take that job is not a morally better position.
Feel somewhat similar about giving money to beggars, though with slightly more emphasis on the voluntary nature of the act (which itself could be fodder for moral discussion - what's the difference between Jack the Hobo's and Jack the Barista's experience?). End of the day, while systematic overhaul so both of these conditions are irrelevant is warranted, for both groups it's about survival until the next day (yes, for some beggars survival includes dope, withdrawl is hell). The revolution ain't coming tomorrow, and even if it did there's time required to get these folks what they need. It's entirely possible they wouldn't make it to that point without voluntary support from individuals or small groups.
some people don't know you can align the USB by checking if the holes on the outside are filled or not
This one statement has me questioning a large swath of my life to date. Booting from the (eventually) correctly aligned USB has always been the easy part.
Was gonna say, birds are lossy as fuck.
Yep!
Only thing I want to see after a ? in a youtube url is t=4m20s
Real talk, this is the absolute first thing that popped into my mind reading this thread. Have some cards for therapists in the overnight bag for folks that make her go "This is beyond my expertise as an escort. You want the other profession that leases their time by the hour for human interaction."
"Don't worry, they're cool, just don't try to fuck them, that's a different skillset".
Nausea has never been as fun as it was back then.
You can waste all sorts of time on the net arguing with people about who started what genres. Then you start getting into terms like proto-metal, etc.
No personal issue with your choice because it's a fucking awesome song, but if wanted to be one of those assholes I'd say it's heavy prog rock, in the pool of music metal would later draw from. That said, I'm no musicologist, and somewhere right now there's someone in a black t-shirt with a very cool but difficult to read band name on it reading this, aghast.
I think we can all agree that Black Sabbath is a cornerstone in what metal generally (and specifically sludge, stoner metal, etc.) developed into.

Generally yes. It provides context for the posts, which is important, and while not as prominent as the post title and image in the main feed, it's still listed right above those on the app I use.
