Or a CEO

My favourite new album of 2024 was definitely Mahal by Glass Beams. It's all I listened for months on end last year, and I'm still very much in love with it.

Their sound is this rich, old meets new psychedelic funk, with a rolling bass and a shoegaze like fullness to it that just flows so beautifully.

I've had AMERICAN MOTOR SPORTS on my list to listen to for ages now, so many people have mentioned it being good. I'm really going to have to get out of my rut of current songs on repeat and put it on. And your description of Thou - Umbilical sounds like something I'd love too, man this list of mine just keeps growing, haha.

There's so much power and pure female fucking rage in this track. The rest of the album this track is off is fire too.

Animal livestock is not required in the production of food from plants.

In my experience, vegetarianism often is just a waypoint towards veganism.

If this were universally true, there would be a lot more vegans.

From my experience, vegetarians are more often than not, a way point towards eating meat again.

Free-range farming is barely a quality of life improvement over cages, look it up.

Only eating meat is only killing animals for meat.

Eating meat and dairy is both killing animals for meat, and raping and torturing animals for milk and eggs, which when these animals no longer produce to quota or become diseased, also gets them killed.

How is eating dairy harming fewer animals?

All animals livestock is unethical. There is no such thing as the ethical rape, torture and consumption of animals when humans can easily and cheaply live off plants. There is no excuse.

It bothers me that vegetarians don't care beyond this very un-though-through concept of 'animals dying'.

Dairy is a product of the mass rape and imprisonment of cows in horrific factory farms, and chickens are also kept in massively over crowded and unsanitary conditions.

And this is not to mention the constant cullings of male animals, which aren't considered food as testosterone tastes so bad, and male animals can't produce eggs or milk.

Or the constant culling of animals that no longer produce eggs or milk to quota.

Or the mass culling of the diseased or at risk of disease from being forced to live in such disgusting environments.

Vegetarianism is not a moral stance, it's delusional and harms and kills animals at the same rate as eating both meat and dairy.

Don't give them ideas.

I haven't played the games either, tbh I didn't even know there were games.

I've been reading SCP's for probably over 15 years now though, with varying levels of obsession with it during that time. There is so much lore and interconnectedness now, seeing it grow from just a few stories was incredible.

SCP fan. I'm fucked.

I keep trying to talk myself into starting one, but I don’t know if I have the patience for modding.

Ugh, same. I want to see all the pretty nerds showing off their pretty skills here but most days my brain won't even type words coherently, I would be an utterly useless mod.

We need one of those hyper energetic t-girls full of all that post puberty energy and optimism, to swoop in and be queen mod of all the pretties of the fediverse for us. I really miss having all that energy, haha.

Are there any good nail art or makeup communities on the fediverse yet? I love seeing how creative people get with these art forms.

Those iridescent shadows! The teal/purple shift is so pretty!
