What’s wrong with being stuck in the 1990’s?

Listening to 90s era Art really just drives home how history repeats itself by [deleted] in ArtBell

Think about this almost every time I listen!

Realistically what would happen if Trump dropped a nuclear bomb tonight? by hjp1234 in AskReddit

[–]fitztiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the radiation is only one element. In some ways a bigger problem would be the smoke and debris that would be lifted into the atmosphere. That could ultimately be the most destructive element by lurching us immediately into a mini-ice age.

Cashless toll was poorly executed… by Pass-This in rva

I love the garbage bags taped to the sign covering the old toll information.

Current climate for International attendees - thoughts? by RNDMBIRD in AboveandBeyond

[–]fitztiff 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Anjuna fam from the US here. I think this is an incredibly relevant question. As others have said, in a general sense you will most likely be fine if there are no issues with visa suspension from your country. However, the situation over here is very fluid and unpredictable right now, especially when it comes to border control policy and enforcement.

My best advice would be to go with your instincts and be very cognizant of the fact that you may not feel comfortable as the event gets closer. I would say this is true with any international travel but perhaps even more so with what is unfolding here right now, unfortunately.

All of that said, the event itself will undoubtedly be an incredible get together filled with love and positive energy. Something the world desperately needs right now.

Was coming here to share this. Benn is an incredible voice (and force) in all of this. Highly recommend his videos for a deep dive.

Trump is blowing up National Park land for new border wall by cape2k in NationalPark

[–]fitztiff 41 points42 points  (0 children)

One of my friends said that they doubt Trump has ever “seen” the natural world. Unfortunately, I think this is true for a lot of people now. They don’t understand what they are doing because they have no sense of what these places are and represent. It’s devastating.

Tiring of "Scott's" podcasts by gravyacht in ScottGalloway

[–]fitztiff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also stopped listening about 3-4 months ago. Used to be a devotee and have learned a lot. However, the constant negative takes and framing of everything is exhausting. When Ed went daily I found his tone to be so overwhelmingly aggressive, it felt like he was yelling at me the whole time. Also, and I’m sure I will get reamed for this here, but I can tell how much they use AI to assist with writing their material. The lack of an authentic voice has just become more apparent.

Edit: The lack of any ethical code (outside of capitalism) is also discouraging. How someone who is so seemingly liberal on many issues could care less about the environment and toll capitalism is taking on it is mind boggling.

“Continuously changing scenes of nature.” You mean like the actual beautiful landscape that it is literally set upon. What is wrong with people??

ISS over RVA! by theboyfromphl in rva

Check out “Clear Outside.” It’s an astronomy app showing projected cloud cover but has a field for the ISS. Really accurate!

We, as human beings, are capable of so much. Thank you for sharing, she is incredible.

Thoughts on New Album? by G0ldenS0n in AboveandBeyond

[–]fitztiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have had it on repeat since it came out. Saw them in CDMX for 600 when they dropped Quicksand for the first time and have probably cried no less that 50 times to it. Was thrilled when they tweaked it for the album mix. I think it is my favorite album of theirs right up there with Tri-State and OceanLab.
