I felt the same way as you initially when I got into the genre, but Between the Buried and Me made me develop and appreciation for growling vocals. They’ve got a lot of really intricate and technical guitar work, which is what made me keep listening.

For (mostly) entirely instrumental track, animals as leaders is good, and I absolutely love Polyphia (they play at different times signatures for an interesting sound), and Power Glove is amazing if you like metal covers of video game music.

As for genres, look into symphonic and progressive metal bands, they might be more your style.

It’s easy to blame the user when they don’t bother to read the manual or follow basic instructions.

Goddamn, I was sure I ate the onion on this one.

This is probably the best possible outcome.

Most “real” news outlets too.

Tools like restic and Borg and so critical that you will regret not having had them sooner.

100000%

I just experienced this when a little mini PC I bought <2y ago cooked its nvme and died this month. Guess who has been meaning to set up backups on that guy for months?

Unfortunately, that nvme is D. E. D. And even more unfortunately, that had a few critical systems for the local network (like my network controller/DHCP). Thankfully it was mostly docker containers so the services came up pretty easy, but I lost my DBs so configs and data need to be replicated :(

The first task on the new box was figuring out and automating borg so this doesn’t happen again. I also set up backups via my new proxmox server, so my VMs won’t have that problem too.

Now to do the whole ‘actually testing the backups’ thing.

Bold of you to trust either of the two independents would agree to and then not immediately block it once she stepped down.

Lol, you think the republicans would seat a new justice after Biden lost the election? They only ever do that for their own party

Trolls gonna troll.

Git gud.

Ah, you’re just a really lazy troll. Got it.

It isn’t directly, it’s aimed at your specious claim that it’s foreign wars, not them being actual, factual traitors to the country is why they’re being called traitors.

If republicans didn’t hold the whole process hostage, they’d be legally traitors instead of it just being obvious to anyone with a working brain.

January 6th never happen in your world?

Oh man, tattoo sessions are my jam!

Embrace the cramp, let it be the focus of your mind and let all thoughts fall away, and you will find bliss in the cramp.

And then there’s me, intentionally causing foot cramps to revel in the feeling.

Look into local mutual aid groups and do what you can for those around you. That will go a long way to help you and your mental health, plus having a strong network means you can help when things start to get bad.

50% of us couldn’t be bothered to have an opinion, so I guess they get what they get.

What the fuck are you smoking friend, my entire friend group is visibly queer and the only option we had available was Kamala. I would lash out for your ignorance, but you have no way of knowing and are extremely raw.

They spit in our faces and minimize a fucking GENOCIDE and then expect us to vote for them?

And instead you spit right back and welcomed it on yourself and those like you and I love. This isn’t to vote shame, it’s just acknowledging objective reality.

I’m so sorry for you and those around me who are going to suffer for the choices made yesterday, but you really need to stop and think about the choices available to you in this limited and frankly fucked up world. I stand by my statement, no matter how many people refuse to accept that bad situations have awful choices with worse outcomes for wanting to die in a particular hill.

Fuck them and fuck you too.

I hope you’re able to find safety and peace, and that you’re willing to let yourself see past your morality to the bare facts of reality. Electoralism fucking sucks, but you can now see what happens when morality outweighs pragmatism.

Goodbye, I don’t have the mental bandwidth to deal with such bitter and misplaced hatred, especially when trying to keep the sanity of those around me melting down. Stay safe.

Edit: ‘go to brunch’ lol, fuckers don’t know shit about what I’ve done and are just salty I have a different opinion, so clearly I’m just a brunch ally.

I’d tell you to get fucked, but I wish the best for you, even if you’re lashing out in ugly ways. Find peace friends, I’ll still be in the front lines even if you spit on me.

And instead of doing something even remotely helpful, they let the genocide harder guy win.

But go off, accelerationist, go ahead and tell me how this makes things better. And keep using the word fascist, maybe someday you’ll learn the meaning.

Good fucking luck with that. Too many people view their spotless moral record as being more important than outcomes or improving lives (/not actively making things worse).

Misanthropy is the only real outcome to this sort of behavior.
