Gotta entice them somehow. 'Think of the places you’ll be able to visit across the world. And we offer paid tuition.* *Must survive your contract with the U.S. Government who will send you into battle at the drop of a hat, a drop of oil barrel or the rise of a military/president’s ego, to take advantage of offer.
It’s a hypothetical question, so yeah. It can be whatever you want it to be. =)
I’m part of the Caucasian Caucus (reference). I wanted to hear from our fellow Fedi users who were black, and hear how things have been for them here. I was going to make a follow up question, to ask them how we could make the Fediverse a more safe and welcoming place for them. It was all with good intent from me. Just wanting to make the world a better place, in any way I can.
I’d suggest subscribing to !PurchaseWithPurpose@lemmy.world if you’re wanting contribute to a larger positive effort around the world. And subscribe to !hopeposting@lemmy.world for some feel better/good content.
I’ve heard the song before and like it. But I hadn’t seen the music video until today. That was an amazing music video.
A powerful story telling music video.
While watching, I couldn’t help think that the animation style seems familiar. I felt it to be very close to the animation style of Batman: The Animated Series. And I was right.
You should consider posting this to !washington@lemmy.world, !seattle@lemmy.world, and !redmondwa@lemmy.world as well. I’m sure there are people there that would being most interested in learning of this.
Craigslist odd jobs seems like a easy way to find something and that pays under the table.
If you have a lawn mower and you’re willing to interact with multiple people, you could go around and see if anyone is in need of their lawn mowed this week.
– Adding to this, if you have a weed-eater or edger, you could see about doing their edging instead or as well.
Nice! Thanks for updating us. Joined!
Let us not forget the Christian Nationalists, Meatheads, Wolfs in Sheep’s Clothing, instigators, 21st Century White Supremacists, Fake News confusion, the two party system, etc, etc.
!microblogmemes@lemmy.world would be a better place to post this kind of thing.
Not everyone on here is going to agree with me, but I’m getting tired of seeing so many communities become the same thing. Just a ‘dump it there,’ community. (That’s what !justpost@lemmy.world is good for BTW.) This ‘meme’ community, !funny@sh.itjust.works and !microblogmemes@lemmy.world are all starting to look about the same in content. I don’t always want to read Microblog memes and sometimes I don’t want to read standard memes.
I’d suggest looking into what news outlets are still willing to ‘break the story’ to the public these days. Perhaps a search for ‘whistle blower story’ might help you find these that are willing to still be proper reporters.
If you feel you’re life might be endanger in anyway, but reaching out to someone to share your story, consider looking into concealing yourself with any device you decide to use. I’m sure there are resources out there that can help you navigate this. If what you say is true, do what you believe to be the moral thing to do.
(I’ll check out the bands and artists above in a few days. Promise.)

Alright. So I’m going through these now.
HIM - I tried to find a song from HIM this time while suppressing my premonitions, but I just couldn’t. There are just so many songs about love, partners, etc. and that doesn’t apply to me right now.
The Crown - I can see myself getting into them the rest of the year, for sure. I enjoyed Gone to Hell and Death Explosion from them (so far.)
The Haunted - I liked All Against All. I’ll be checking out there stuff a bit more, but later.
Dimmu Borgir - I already knew about them. They are a ‘nasty’ band. Hahaha. Puritania is by far my favorite song from them.
Metallica and CKY I’ve heard and like some of their songs. Metallica more so.
Foreign Objects - I’m digging their Galactic Prey album. For sure gonna come back to this one.
Meshuggah - They have a cool sound, but I just can’t find myself liking their songs.
Mattias “I.A.” Eklundh - Minor Swing through me for a loop haha. I like that one. Same with New Air.
Opeth - IDK… I think it’s a bit too moody for my liking.
Finntroll - It’s alright to me. Wish I could understand their lyrics ha.
Children of Bodom - That’s my shit! 👍 I seem to like Melodic Death Metal music quite a bit. Power Metal is fun too.
Sonata Arctica - I could see myself enjoying some of their music. But I think I’m currently in a ‘heavy hitting’ phase musically. Symphonic metal is pretty cool. My introduction to it was Nightwish’s Wishmaster album.
Animals as Leaders - I had a few friends years ago that were really into them. I think they have some interesting sounds, but sometimes, math metal can be too much for me.
Lamb of God - I’ve definitely heard of them and heard a few of their songs. Yeah IDK man. For whatever reason, I can’t find a song that I like enough to add to my Spotify. I might come back to them later for a deeper dive.
Tesseract - Not feeling it.
Textures - Not feeling it.
The Ocean - I liked Holocene.
The Omnific - Turns out, I liked their Objects de Vertu song some time ago. I liked Outback Overdrive. They feel like a band I would enjoy diving deeper into.
Dissection - Pretty good.
Amon Amarth - Of course, I’ve heard of them and like their song Twilight Of The Thunder God hahaha. I’ve been meaning to come back to them and hear more of their stuff. Liked Shield Wall.
Linkin Park - Really dude?! LOL! I wasn’t born yesterday! I like their stuff. Mostly their earlier stuff as well.
And now I feel like Frodo.
(Now I’m gonna music suggest wall you bro! Sheesh. Haha)
(Not a tattoo artist or person with tattoos yet.) I don’t think it’s weird. I believe there are reasons why you feel that way. One in particular might be, that you know how you want the tattoo you chose to turn out. If it doesn’t turn out or come together like you had hoped, how would you handle the situation? I myself would have a hard time telling someone that it didn’t come out right. Especially if it was a tattoo. So maybe it’s more than just the pain you’re thinking about.
This is a catchy 16 bit(?) song. I can see how this could make a home in your brain.
I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed some of the shared songs.
Venjent… what if I told you I was like one of the top 0.01 % listeners of Venjent in 2025, I think.
My goodness dude! Hahaha That’s is some serious dedication! =p
Equilibrium is one of favorite folk metal bands to date. Sunlounger is growing to become my go to artist, when I need to chill out. Venjent is a really interesting artist. I love his ability to utilize sounds from anything and apply them into a music format.
As for your list, HOLY SHIITAKE! You seem to have the metal music corner of music well covered. lol I’ve heard 12 of those listed and know I like, Dimmu Borgir, Metallica, CKY, Children of Bodom, Amon Amarth and (of course) Linkin Park. I’ll check out the rest over the next several days.
Bro there are so many good bands, I have about 1700+ bands that I follow on Spotify. (Quite overwhelming at times, actually.)
ROFL! I can totally understand the overwhelming sense you would get. This is why I only follow a 30 or so bands on Spotify.
If you’re looking for more chill music/song suggestions, I would suggestion:

!PurchaseWithPurpose@lemmy.world recently had a post about how many music streams you would need to have per month to make a U.S. monthly minimum wage ($1.257), and Qobuz was the best out of all of them. (At least of the major music streaming services.)
