Oh oh oh. This is one I legit was never sure if it was real or some [as] parody

This one counts as I legit remember seeing the remix on tv Bonus

Seemed like they'd gone way way downhill in recent years. Crypto scams and AI scams and low effort bots.. I'd imagine (but can only guess) you might have better odds on the other side of the gender fence. But better-than-shit odds might still be shit odds. I mostly used them as form of people watching, "socializing" without having to, y'know, interact with anyone. But was getting increasingly boring with shallow profiles that provided no info. But, like many, I just kinda stopped when I realized I had no interest or desire to add that disruption to life. I'm comfortable in isolation and routine, and accepted the fact that I ain't likely to meet anyone in an appropriate age range on the same wavelength.

Oh riight, that's what I needed to share with a coworker.. I've been getting back into listening to Pandora lately (thanks, internet, for teaching me how to make it ad-free for free...). I've got one station that's basically dedicated to dumb shit. I think that's honestly my preferences for most rock or metal groups. Ones that don't take themselves too seriously. So when something I've not experienced before comes up, like this, I just have to let out a defeated "goddammit"

Mostly Firefox, but evidently it's run or owned or whatever by an AI bro now, so.. now's as good a time as any to find a new one. Brave seems to show some promise. Heard nice things about I think Waterfox.

Bumping because been getting awful load times and timeout errors all day. At first I thought it was just work wifi somehow trying to block access or something. But no, even at home nothing wants to load at all.

Careful with that thing. A boombox is not a toy.

I still use mine, but I'm trying to get away from it. My big problem is finding anything that can replicate a feature of itunes that I use extensively. In iTunes, I have the option/capability of telling it custom start and stop times for every track. An absolute blessing for trimming out excess silence, live audience clapping, intros, etc etc. And when I move that music to the ipod, it remembers those settings. I've since found MusicBee, capable of the same settings, and just generally seems a nicer music library tool... but putting that music on my phone (android) won't actually remember those settings (although I think I might be able to force it by having it essentially create a new file with the truncated times.. maybe). Still using an ipod touch that's kinda coming apart at the seams (poor repair job). And I went out and bought a backup that's still new in box when I heard they were discontinued. But, if I can ever find a way to get my mobile music library to work how I want, I'll finally be free of it.

Might be some/all AI... might be at least actual music.. suspect the art is AI at the least. Lyrics might be generated or translated poorly.. But still fun.

Dang, Batmetal got caught anyway.. oh well The juxtaposition between visuals and vocals, the genre shift, great stuff. And honestly a solid cover.

I'm glad I'm part of this community that's all going to hell for the exact same reasons... It took a significant amount of willpower to not start off with "Hermes better have those alphabet blocks locked down tight." But then.. it got me thinking about all the ways Futurama actually could've made more little references to the impacts of global warming. I mean, yeah, not really the message they were going for or anything. But, thinking about the song, and how Hermes said "there was a foot and a half of water." But as we're seeing rising sea level, warming oceans, stronger storms, they definitely could've pumped those numbers up. More on topic and relevant to my interests, this feels like it's sure to be awful for the coral reefs there. They're not in the greatest shape as is due to warming and all, and I know it struggled mightily to recover after the last major hurricanes decades ago. And, landwise, the region I had seen is... definitely not structurally prepared to handle anything like this..

..Prolly shouldn't make light of this, cuz it's sure to be horrifically catastrophic. (bonus: can't wait to hear about all the aid we're not sending.. better get those paper towels ready to throw...) This monster has been edging the whole Caribbean for a few days now, just hanging out and building up. It's looking like it's picked a course now. Predictions of 20-30+ inches of rain for most of the island. Possibly up to 13 feet of storm surge for the SE. (image is a day old, much closer now, landfall expected today)
