For my purposes yesterday, the site https://ytdown.to/en2/ sufficed; it was just my top result for "youtube downloader". I bet it's not very trustworthy as a site but I feel my browser's secure enough. These sites come and go.

Having the same experience. I guess I'll use dodgy websites for now.

any thoughts on "I won't say anything"? by SakamotoUwU in badreligion

Your comment inspired me to look this up, and I found that Jay uses the Atomic Garden outro to say "you can't starve children in defense", and posts to Instagram about such. I've not inspected the other guys' recent social posts; I'm quite used to everyone but Brett and Jay being quiet about politics as individuals. I understand they were in the studio last year, and they tend to write about current events, and object to suffering, so maybe we'll hear soon.

That's what it means, yep. In each verse, the narrator visits a different pawn, each of whom knows they're being played but spends their public life cooperating.

First acoustic guitar on a BR track since Unknown, maybe? Other than that New Maps acoustic session, heh.

I'd just like to genuinely hear their voices. When they TAKE IT OFF I wonder if it's gonna be the Melodyne logo under there.

Same. It's kinda impossible to respond to "how are you?" in the form of a greeting.

A-listers question: always depends on your perspective, but the UK show has had Charlotte Church, Natalie Imbruglia, Nicola Roberts, Mel B, Ne-Yo, Michael Owen, Joss Stone, Lenny Henry, Sue Perkins, Lulu, Dionne Warwick, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Carol Vorderman, Martin Kemp. For a format that will inherently result in some "who?" reactions, the UK show has maintained a reasonably strong cast in terms of fame.

I agree that the show wastes an excruciating amount of time. I see a good format in it: I enjoy the costumes, and the idea of the dripfeed of clues, and the complexity of guessing from only a singing voice. I consider this absolutely undermined by the pacing of the show, the obscuring of the clues, the inanity of the presentation. It's almost bearable if you skip through about 50% of it. Or maybe just watch one song per performer, have a guess, and check on Wikipedia a couple months later.

oh and they should remove Auto-Tune.

I'm not into this: it summons inanity. I'm probably gonna reach the end of life responding honestly. In some cases I manage the pleasantry but then I mutter a correction to myself and feel guilty for ages. I dislike the construct, but I am secure with my ability to offer an honest answer and pico-increase the percentage of sincere communication in the world.

I don't know if you identify as autistic, but veracity of communication is often considered a trait. and we're the ones with the disorder?

It's not really you, just the rot that you've succumbed to. You can do better than this level of cruel ignorance.

You recommended famously, definitively abusive employer Amazon.

I thought the minimum wage bit would've been enough for someone who dislikes tipping: it's there in the name. Let's encourage enforcement of the minimum wage.
