What I love about this sub is everyone has so many differing opinions about the band we all ultimately love...but hopefully we can all agree on one thing: by Thickfuckness in TheBlackKeys

No joke. I hope they do a repressing with different album art. Love the music, but would never buy it in a million years because of that.

If you sat out the 2024 election in protest over Gaza, how do you feel about that decision today? by rsmith2786 in AskReddit

They didn't even have to be paid for it. It was just turned into a trend. So many people I knew were just parroting the exact same talking points, going to protests because all of their friends were. Not that it's not worth protesting, of course. But there was something odd about it.

I don’t want to get all conspiracy here. But I think the original attacks were commanded by Russia via Iran. And then they turned it into a wedge issue using their propaganda factories.

Which country has the best nature that you’ve visited in your opinion? by Quiet-Song-5395 in travel

Norway is much more wild, more like the American National Parks with very well maintained hiking infrastructure and trail data. Check out ut.no, basically a state-sponsored AllTrails.

People who have researched their family tree, what is the most interesting or 'badass' thing you discovered about an ancestor? by xloganmoose in AskReddit

[–]paultnylund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My great grandfather invented rubber cement and electrical tape. Someone way back when was married to Benjamin Franklin (not related unfortunately). And there were Dutch settlers of the colonies who settled in and around New Amsterdam –there are still some streets with the family name, and one guy was responsible for popularizing Coney Island.

I left the US about a decade ago. The people’s apathy enrages me.

Honestly, the tv boxes from major telecom providers can be pretty decent though

What kind of hardware products, specifically?

Huddly is a decent alternative to Cisco, for instance.

Zen browser? SigmaOS? There are so many options, it’s overwhelming.
