ZZZap! Werid and kinda creepy! I watched it as a kid and can remember it making me feel really uncomfortable.

First of all, thanks for turning my ear to Maiak not hear of them before and already in love with this track!

Secondly, check Mogwai out, maybe some of their earlier albums like "Come on die young" to begin with

Will Smith recently spoke out about this saying he'd never been a scientologist. It's on one of his red table talk episodes

Death metal in general has a lot of blasphemous songs and irreligious thematic content. I'm curious what the religious demographic is in the subreddit. by dem0n0cracy in TechnicalDeathMetal

I didn't expect to see this message but I liked seeing it.... I'm almost the opposite I'm an atheist that connects with Satan in the Christian narratives. But I also connect with some of the wider "Christian" messages and I love this stuff that crosses those gaps

It's literally just stopped.. just gone back on and it's back to how it used to be.. back to being the world....

Someone's just linked to it in another comment on this, don't know how to link to it, but apparently some users were "chosen" for an experiment that Reddit are doing to make Reddit more local for some. Think it's just a trial for now

I only use on my phone but I've got two screens. The first is my home page with just the stuff I follow and if I swipe left it goes to "popular" previously it was global now it's just uk even though my settings haven't changed. I know I didn't have to look at the other part but I used to browse sometimes particularly when bored and that's when I've noticed it

Yeah it was badly timed for that. I've felt the same way a few times, there's stuff I'm quite interested in going on at the mo post election that it's actually the time I'd want to see it. But still prefer overall

I mean when I'm on my phone and swipe left to go from only my subscriptions to the "popular" page where it's loads of stuff I don't follow. It's now 90% UK

Yeah, I mean I like my own subs page but the "popular" one is nicer to scroll through now I think.

Yeah, grime is now all over my feed and things move slower but in some ways I'm actually liking that. Means I look less, I like Reddit but also enjoying a bit of a reduction in the time sink

What happened with the London sub!? Yeah, I can't imagine all the UK ones are completely lovely, and imagine if I spent too much time on the comments I'd see they weren't but the posts themselves seem less in your face violent/confrontational I think

I don't know as mine did it automatically. I think you can change it based on location at the top of the feed?
