Sure, why not?

… leave it to Nirvana to come in and actually make a decent stance for feminist issues.

Granted, it’s hard to talk about Nirvana’s approach to this topic on principle. Since all of these are issues that affect the opposite sex, it’s hard to justify Cobain’s stance at times without him coming off as the white knight in shining armour doing his best attempt to save the dignity of an entire gender.

But looking through how Nirvana tackles feminism, it’s not about being the saviour for women. It’s about putting men in the shoes of the opposite sex and seeing what happens when they are put into some of the most deplorable scenarios anyone would have to go through. Just look no further than their most famous feminist tune, ‘Polly’.

While this is the closest thing to a “ballad” Nirvana made on their breakthrough album Nevermind, it feels like a ballad in the same way that those extremely dark Western country songs used to be. Writing from the point of view of a sexual predator who tied up Polly in his van, there’s already an eerie energy coming off the song before we even get to the chorus.

depends on if you’re white and if you can cry on demand (about the punishment)

The iPhone really screwed Gen Z.

X and Millennials had to do everything manually that our phones now do automatically for us.

Well, shit. A court ruling that isn’t total garbage.

I could hardly believe it when I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said, you were leaving, someone swept your heart away
From that look upon your face, I see it's true
So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the plans you're making
Oh, tell me one thing more before I go

Tell me, how am I supposed to live without you?
Now that l've been loving you so long How am I supposed to live without you?
And how am I supposed to carry on When all that l've been living for is gone?
I'm too proud for crying, didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end

 

I see more and more posts that are just a link to a video, post, or article. There’s no text in the description.

I’d like to see some of the article quoted and/or a brief reason this is currently being posted to Lemmy.

When it’s just a link, the cynical part of me thinks it’s just an SEO bot—especially if the account never posts any comments.

What are some ways to encourage posts that are more engaging?

Or should I just ignore, downvote, and/or block those doing this kind of posting?

 
 

edit: Thank you to all who answered! I’m amazed at how many ways you came up with to answer this.

 

I have a computer running what I think at the time was called Ubuntu Server (no GUI) that I installed Xfce on, making it essentially Xubuntu. I did this because it allowed me to use mdadm to set up RAID (4 drives; RAID 5) during the OS install.

My OS lives on an NVME drive, and I have my raid mounted at /Files.

I have lots of data in my RAID, and much (but not all!) is backed up to the cloud. There would be both emotional issues and lots of time required to fix things if I lose the RAID or the data on it.

(I am realizing as I write this that I put off upgrading so long, I can probably copy all the data to one 20TB drive (oof! That’s expensive) since they’ve gotten about as big as my 21.83TB volume.)

How safe is it to take the OS up on this offer?

New release '20.04.6 LTS' available.
Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.

How hard is it to reestablish the RAID if it forgets it exists?

Is there anything else I can do to make this more likely to “just work”? (Like: don’t do it over ssh)

Are there other factors I am not thinking of?

 
 

I have two complaints about Firefox Focus on iOS:

First, when typing into the address bar, you must finish and tap “search” or “go” or else all you typed will go away if you switch to another app and back again. Firefox Focus shouldn’t forget what you’re doing unless you hit the garbage can icon or force close the app.

Second, if you’re typing, and you tap anywhere I’ve marked in red in the screenshot, it erases the search/url text you’ve typed, and you have to start over. It didn’t used to do this when Firefox Focus first came out. It would be fine to put a garbage can icon somewhere in that area, but the area now that deletes what you’re typing is bigger than the keyboard, and I’ve mis-tapped there way too many times.

 
 

“We get it, we don’t like spiders either, but it’s never a good idea to use a blow torch or any other flammable device for pest control,” firefighters said in a social media post.

 

I peeled it off, and there is no reside on the item, nor did was there any damage to the label.

I had to stick it back down on each side to get the photo, but it pealed right back off in perfect condition again.

If this can be done, why aren’t all labels like this?

 

your whole hand.
