I mostly listen to death-doom rather than strict death metal, but there’s a fair bit of that out there. My two faves in the genre:

Draconian has clean female vocals alongside growled male.

Swallow the Sun has a wide range of vocal styles, but getting increasingly cleaner pretty much every album (along with clean female vocals on a lot of tracks).

Again, this is death-doom so a lot of the stuff will be a little slower-tempo than straight death.

Except it’s actually the best of both worlds for the rich - as far as I know, a lot of these companies are publicly traded AND receive public funding.

Good call. Everything is Zeus’s type.

I guess this makes the Midwest the taint of America.

Tell Rizzo he’s one of the cutest pups I’ve ever seen.

That makes sense. I also totally get you on the last point. As soon as I manage to own a house, the yard is getting planted with local flora, fruit bushes, and a vegetable garden.

I think for some people it’s like a form of meditation, especially for those with a big lawn and a riding mower. I don’t personally get it, but that’s the vibe these guys give off.

I would legitimately love to see this. Sounds like a bit of a Forest Gump vibe, and your choice of Nicolas Cage feels perfect for this role.

I’m always going on about the dangers of microplastics to anyone who will listen but I’m doubtful that “[putting] humanity on notice” will have any effect at all. If our global response to the existential threat of climate change is any indication, we may as well start taking bets on which will kill us first.

To make a sizeable dent in microplastics in our environment we’ll have to rethink the entire concept of rubber tires, and that’s gonna be a non-starter with the monied interests and their propaganda machines. Also, synthetic clothing is gonna be a big one. Getting rid of plastic straws and shopping bags infuriated so many people in my country, so that’s gonna be crazy when people find out they’ll have to do without stretchy clothing. (And the straw/bag thing was essentially a token effort given the vastly higher volumes of single-use plastic across the supply chain).

I don’t mean to be a doomer about this - it’s very important that scientists bring this to light if we want to have any hope of bettering our world. It’s just frustrating feeling like I’ve been shouting into a void regarding this issue, even to those in my personal life.

I wish the article went into some detail about how the hell a 72-year-old fought in a war. I know people can be in good shape at that age, but I wouldn’t think they’d be in voluntarily joining a war shape.

Also, how did he end up in the custody of Russia? Captured, or just strolled into Moscow one day with his big balls clanging at each step.

I start to get weak and fussy if it’s 12:30 pm and I haven’t had lunch. Assuming I get lost in the woods after breakfast that means I have a good 3-4 hours to find a settlement before I drop dead of being a little bitch.

Mathematically it works out to half the cancer type 2 diabetes and stroke.

Edit: Fixed the disease

Pros: price

Cons: the watch doesn’t work and now you have lead poisoning

I can smell this comment, and now I have even more microplastic in my blood.

I have no idea about the site itself, but having the domain registration showing as private isn’t necessarily a red flag in itself. I do it myself to avoid spam, and it’s a free service offered by many registrars.

As someone else commented, however, if it feels fishy you’re probably correct.

That’s fair. I’m certainly not against the concept of drinks with sugar alternatives, but for whatever reason the only one I actually enjoy is Fresca.

It’s the “no sugar” part that I find the most blasphemous.

Classic Lemmy user, bringing not one but two laptops to a live show.

Given that I mostly play heavily-modded games, a run is usually “complete” when it is abandoned due to its inevitable TPS death.

Right? At this point I’m just sticking with WordPress because I can’t be bothered to migrate a bunch of sites off of it. Every year for the past decade it’s felt jankier. Tumblr’s backend has to be a dumpster fire for this to seem like a good idea.

My criticism aside, WP still has the convenience factor of being the open source web platform that has a plugin for just about any need. Whether those plugins are gonna break for site or introduce interesting new vulnerabilities is a different discussion.
