pop for the last 15 years

I suppose that depends on how you define pop? Marina for example has some really good songs. But if pop means “stuff that plyas on mainstream radio”, I’d agree.

Mathcore and Free Jazz. I just don’t get it, it sounds like random tones.

Nope, it’s several holidays.

“Fighting for liberty” apparently meaans “randomly shooting people at an airport”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lod_Airport_massacre

Can we get a rule about not posting current news?

Did you forget an /s?

No one thinks it will suddenly change the poltical views of all their voters. The AfD will no longer sit in every TV show spouting their bullshit. They will not get millions and millions of public money. And they will not become our government. That’s not a narrow success - that would be huge.

To be fair, people have been complaining that here are too many cars in the cities for a long time. By making the cars bigger you naturally decrease the number of cars per area!

Paywall :(

One man’s health risk is another man’s business opportunity (at least in capitalism).

Yeah, well this isn’t a democracy where people have a say in what happens in our society. Our feudal elite decides what will happen, so stop complaining.

And it only triggers if enough other people are already on their way to safer places.

The TikTok trend is the latest example of how Chinese products and consumables are enjoying a cultural cachet they’ve never had before globally.

Well, if the TikTok algorithm says it’s popular, who am I to doubt it?

I like that he is mocking US defaultism and that “the only country” on the Global Peace Council logo “you can fully see” is the US - when you can see at least Mexcio, Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, Nicaragua, Belize, Costa Rica, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and Canada.

Degiheugi (Hip Hop) - technically a single artist, not a band ;)

It’s not about sex, it’s about power.

He killed her. Apparently, that’s funny.

AFAIK their stance is to use sanctions first. I agree that there are still too many “pro russia” (or at least “russia-naive”) voices in this party, but I think it is an interesting question: why don’t we sanction everything that’s possible?

The answer is of course money. But it’s not (necessarily) a sign of being “pro russia” if you’d rather sacrifice some economical growth than people’s lifes.

Plus: their federal chairman Jan van Aken said sanctions would have more impact if they come all at once. Russia’s economic system could (somewhat) adjust step by step to the individual sanctions. Harsh sanctions from the beginning might have been a shock to their system from which it could not have (so easily) recovered, That sounds rather plausible to me.

What about dystopian surveillance tech?
