This right here. The app is absolutely useless and unnecessary. Just don't use it.

Just bought it. It's under two units. Just get it.

Edit to add: works on Steam Deck.

There were some pretty interesting changes announced. Brief rundown of the two announcements: Brothers can wear beards. Service is no longer mandatory and you don't have to report your time. Sisters can wear slacks to the KH and in service. Disfellowshipped people can be given a simple greeting and can be invited to meetings. Changes to how elders meet with people and dispense judgement. Changes to elders interacting with minors. Changes to the shunning practice.

A lot of people feel that this is in response to the government in Norway removing the JW Org from it's list of official religions and defunding them.

Here's a link to announcement #2. Check the beard! Holy crap! https://www.jw.org/en/news/region/global/2024-Governing-Body-Update-2/

 

I haven't been using Reddit since the API stuff happened last summer, but when the GB announcement #2 came out recently, I visited the exjw subreddit and there is some great stuff going on there. I'm DF'd and have been out for a long time, but the posts over there have had me both sad and angry.

 

Another great album from Mutoid Man.

 

Got to see these guys last night in a tiny club. So. Fucking. Good. They'll be on tour in a couple of weeks supporting Bongzilla. Check here to see if they'll be playing near you: https://www.instagram.com/p/CsWjChqJp17/?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this. Seriously. This should be required viewing for this community. So much important music.

\m/

 

Holy shit. If you need your John Garcia fix, this is the band for you. Spitting (vocal) image of him. Wow

 

I'm not sure what to think of this band. I like them, but...

 

From Bandcamp:

There was a time not that long ago when you could count the amount of decent British underground bands on just one hand but now they seem to be popping up every other day. Outer Head are both decent and British so go check 'em out.

Will do! Thank you!

[–] jasonwherbst@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

This. Is. Spectacular! :-)

Sounds like fun!

This was a fun prompt. I wish that I had more time to iterate it. Hope your little one likes their options for a hawk-camel!

I was having troubles with the three legged variant as well. :-)

 

From Doom Charts: BLACK RAINBOWS at their absolute best. Listeners will not only find all of their signature high-octane, stoner rock and heavy psych, but so much more! BLACK RAINBOWS also shows a more melodic and softer side. Not only one of my favorite albums of the year so far, but arguably their best work to date.

I'd like to spend some more time with this one, but that'll have to wait. Here's my attempt at a hawk-camel.

 

This is something that I made last fall, I think. Used Midjourney with the --tile parameter. The prompt was something about concrete and lichen. When tiled, it has some strong horizontal directionality. A person could always rotate it if they needed vertical or diagonal.

No meta for me. They ruin everything that they touch. The Fediverse is the antithesis of all things meta; keep that shit outta here.

 

Please do not involve Meta with anything Fediverse related. They will only ruin it just like everything else that they touch. This is the antithesis of Meta; don't let them in.

That's a great explanation, I just shared it with someone I was trying to explain Lemmy to earlier today.

 

From their site: Replica Jesus was established in 2016 by lead guitarist Howard Rigg, bass player Lee Barber and drummer Stu Cheeseman. They quickly realized they needed someone to front the band, with this position eventually falling to Mike Knight who has established himself at the helm as main vocalist and second guitarist.

Based across Derby and Nottingham their sound combines a plethora of influences combining the heavy riffs of 90’s stoner rock, the fuzz and feedback of grunge and the catchiness and groove of 70’s heavy rock. Influences include, Kyuss, Refused, The Bronx and The Jesus Lizard to name a few.

 

Sometimes cool stuff happens when you spell something wrong. The entire prompt was one word: avacadopunk. Give it a shot, curious what y'all get with that prompt.
