My favorite underrated band is Red Hot Rebellion.

My top three favorite songs of theirs are For the Benefit of Evil, You Bring The Thunder, I’ll Bring The Lightning, and Crushing It.

I’d “hate” to play devil’s advocate, but neither was blow (cocaine).

I simply posted a meme I found and didn’t think much of it till @FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world (classic name btw,) brought it up.

ABBA is still producing music?! I thought they had retired back in late 90s?

673 communities are blocked. Which, to be honest, is a hell of a lot more than I thought I had blocked. I thought I might have around 150 communities blocked. Most of them are sports, sports teams, video games I have no care for, weird ones, apps, gender communities, and furry oriented communities. I get around the porn ones by not having NSFW enabled.

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Lookin’ Out My Back Door (Covered by, Children Of Bodom)

420 out of 690 people would gladly pet that cat.

Alternative tagline: A Journey to the Center to this Garbage Heap. (Referencing me btw)

Oh man. I forgot that PhotoshopBattles existed.

That’s a good question. I would guess that it’s lessened some. But both are for creative tasks vs explaining a proven topic, item, or thing.

Not picking fights. Just curious.

Is this an improvement or a decline in your overall code programming success?

It is. I’ve seen ‘Write the Editor’ sections often in the magazines I check out from the library from time to time. IIRC: Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, and The New Yorker have one.

Pedophilia Trivia - A card game where you guess as closely to correct as possible. Question types would include, ‘As of 2023, where was the biggest pedophile ring ever found?’ ‘How many Catholic clergy members have been convicted of crimes to date? (2023)’ ‘What US state has had the most reported pedophiles from 2010 to 2020?’ ‘How much money has the Mormon church paid out to victims of sexual abuse by appointed leaders of the church, to keep them quiet?’ ‘How many cases have there been of drag queens sexually abusing kids?’

Blocks w/ Neal Brennan - “Based on his Netflix comedy special, “Blocks.” Neal Brennan interviews friends and colleagues about the things that make them feel lonely, isolated, and like something’s wrong - and how they are persevering despite these blocks.”

I highly recommend Darknet Diaries.

I enjoy all of the episodes in one way or another. But here are a few of my recommendations.

Ep 36: Jeremy from Marketing - “A company hires a penetration tester to pose as a new hire, Jeremy from Marketing, to see how much he can hack into in his first week on the job. It doesn’t go as planned.”

Ep 14: #OpJustina - “In 2013 a hospital was accused of conducting a medical kidnapping against a young girl named Justina. This enraged many people across the country, including members of Anonymous. A DDOS attack was waged against the hospital.”

Ep 24: Operation Bayonet - "Darknet markets are online black markets. They are highly illegal, and dangerous to run. Hear exactly how dangerous it was for Alphabay and Hansa dark markets.

Ep 29: Stuxnet - “Stuxnet was the most sophisticated virus ever discovered. It’s target was a nuclear enrichment facility in Iran. This virus was successfully able to destroy numerous centrifuges. Hear who did it and why.”

The idea of AGI lead government sounds quite interesting. However, there are many concerns that would need to be addressed and prevented in the structuring of such a system. Safeguards of physical assets, hardware, and software entry points. Does the AGI have any access to the internet or networks of any kind? How do we interact with such a system by state/providence? What do you do when bad actors get a hold of it or are feeding it incorrect information?

The key detail being the following. “The US National Ignition Facility (NIF) has made significant strides in nuclear fusion, but it’s not yet efficient enough for power grid use. The facility’s laser system loses over 99% of the energy in a single ignition attempt.”

I truly hope that fully maintained nuclear fusion will become a reality. However, I don’t see this being achievable for another few decades.

Is the premise of this one, that we see what happened to Hitler in art school and his transition to a political occupation?

Holy shit! I’d pay to watch that.

edit: For the record, I would watch this, because it would cover the history of the Catholic Church’s pedophilia ring and systematical legal issue dodging. Not for the pedophilia. That is all NSA.

Also, there is a true story movie about how the Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation and cover-up, called Spotlight.

Did someone say cripple fight?
