The fact that I understand everything in this scares and comforts me at the same time.

I have a couple, completely unrelated ones.
alex lennen - Great channel on comic books, especially Marvel. Presenter is also really funny and full of energy.
BobbyBroccoli - If you’re at all interested in academia and science in general, check him out. Really nice information presented in a visually pleasing way.
lambdaxx - Super niche, but if you like the game EU4, he’s probably the best one to watch to really get better.
M. Laser History - Great channel on medieval European and Slavic history, with some forays into other periods. Great quality overall.
Tasting History - Cooking show with a history segment. Overall nice quality and you learn a lot.
Pinkerton by Weezer. Its my favorite album of all time. It also introduced to a while bunch of other great albums, namely American Football’s first album and Kid A by Radiohead. And El Scorcho is an absolute banger.
Started listening to Buddy Holly by Weezer ironically for the meme edits some months ago, now Weezer is my favourite band.
So I’m actually an immigrant (Indian) but I came over super young so I guess it counts. WhatsApp with family, normal SMS for everything else. If I could, I would use Signal for everything but it’s kind of hard to get your massive Indian family to all switch from something they’ve used for a decade and a half.
Hmm, I’ve never heard the part where going against the universe creates unhappiness. Maybe I should read a bit more in depth. Thanks for the explanation.
Weezer - Pork and Beans is a really interesting snapshot of YouTube in the late 2000s; you see all the big people of the day doing trends of the day while singing with the members of Weezer. If that doesn’t sound awesome, I don’t know what is. Plus Hero by the same band is a really interesting pandemic video that is one of the few “artist tries to relate to normal people during lockdown” things which actually work.
If you couldn’t tell, Weezer is my favorite band.
This sounds a lot like absurdism, especially the “nothing matters so I can do whatever I want”.
r/NonCredibleDiplomacy and r/weezer. Two subs with insanely specific humor that I loved.
Weezer - Pork and Beans. As someone who wasn’t even alive during the era of YouTube when it came out, it is really mesmerizing seeing that day’s stars all in one place. Not to mention the actual video is super funny and well done. The ending scene is so cathartic. Plus the song itself is cathcy and has a nice message.
Eternity represent!!!
Fallout: New Vegas
Normal mailman gets shot and robbed, embarks on quest for revenge, acidentaly changes politics of the area forever.
Lawnchair. It mimicks the Pixel launcher quite well, which is my favorite stock Android launcher, and is much better than default OneUI. To be honest, I dont care for phone customization as much as I used to, but Lawnchair just works. Not to mention its FOSS and has a great themed icon pack that covers every app I use daily except for the Lemmy app Liftoff.
The way I see it, we are fucked. With one exception, if we (the 99%) collaborate, we can help make this world a better place. If there’s one thing we have against the wealthy, its numbers. Basically my whole argument boils down to hope. If all of us hope for a better world and work to make it happen (protest, voting, striking, etc.) the world can be a better place. Call it delusional, but it helps me sleep at night.
I believe the specific moment was when the USSR used tanks to crack down on peaceful protesters in Czechoslovakia; supporters were called tankies.
The ability to touch a book to instantly know its content.
The entire album is incredible, but I would say Videotape. Simply awesome. The syncopation is great even if I haven’t looked into it much. I honestly thought the repetiotnnof “in videotape” was weird but now its really grown on me. The entire album has really grown on me, my first listen I thought it was good but nothing special. Now its one of my favorite albums of all time. Kid A is still the best Radiohead album, though.
