Yes, it seems like a really recent term to me. I first heard it when the writers strike began and never before that.

When I think streamer I think of people on Twitch or YouTube who stream themselves. No idea where calling streaming services/sites "streamers" came from but it always confuses me.

I remember when Voat came out and the slight exedous that brought. I made an account and everything but it never properly took off. I checked on it two or three years later and it was just filled with alt-right/racist/transphobic garbage. Sad it never took off as a reddit alternative, reddit likely would have greatly benefited from a proper alternative, not sad it closed down after I saw what it ended up.

So far the fediverse feels really different tho, very explicitly anti that type of shit. I'm sure it will pop up, they always do, but maybe now people know how to deal with it. Block it, defederate, deplatform.

It's after 9pm somewhere

Not an answer to your question, but if the instruments are USB (I assume they are), you could also checkout Clone Hero. It's a free PC version of Rock Bank/Guitar Hero, people will make custom songs for it as well, I'm sure some have drum tracks too.

I kinda slowed down on his videos since that Tom Nicolas video, but I watched his video from a few days ago about blimps because blimps are cool. But it just seemed like a corporate ad. The amount of the video that's renders of products vs actual products is pretty bad.

It didn't feel like a science video about blimps, it felt like half blimp startup ad, half simple blimp explanation. I don't know, it just felt a little devoid of depth.

I know on Windows there's settings to enable moving torrents automatically when the category changes. Also make sure to enable automatic torrent management otherwise I don't think it will work properly.

I'd also check the default download paths too, there's also a setting to keep inprogress torrents in a different spot. Hope that helps

The only reasonable tax I could see being applied to an electric car is a weight tax, but that should be for all cars, not just electric. If your cars weighs more, you should pay more, especially at the city level.

More weight means it produces more wear and tear on roads. Not to mention they are more deadly, even at low speeds.

But I doubt this would happen in Mississippi lol

OP is correct, this is from Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber. Here's a link on the anarchist library: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/david-graeber-bullshit-jobs

Highly recommend the book, really changed how I view work.

"I am Justin Rozniak I'm the person who is talking right now. My pronouns are he and him."

Bullshit Jobs is actually the only thing I've read from him, besides maybe one article. What else do you recommend?

You're very welcome!
