Someone in that org needs to be an adult and say no to pointless rebrands and brain dead consolidation. Literally nobody, even Google, is benefiting from this spastic behavior.

Yeah I don’t know about “likely” but it’s not a bad thing to have.

I can’t speak to a lot of these subgenres but power metal? Hehehe.

Dragonforce - Through Fire and Flames. Not just a meme, actually a great song and very technical.

Powerwolf - Blessed & Possessed. Werewolves that work for the Catholic Church? I have no idea how that’s supposed to work but I’d read the book.

Sabaton - To Hell and Back. Sabaton writes a lot of songs about historical battles.

Powermetal has rather a lot of narrative ballads in it.

Oh, I’ve got a good folk metal band too:

Eluveitie - The Call of the Mountain. I love all the different instruments they use.

Alestorm - Drink. How the hell did I forget Alestorm? Who wants pirate metal?

Bloodywood - Dana Dan. Indian folk metal rap/rock … with a lot of English? I don’t know what’s going on here but it’s such a unique blend.

Someone mentioned Nightwish and here’s my favorite song of theirs:

Nightwish - Nemo

Could be worse.

Whenever Bible Thumpers go on about tots and pears on this topic, quote two verses at em’.

Matthew 6:5-6

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

James 2:26

As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

Nothing shuts em’ up quite like beating them at their own game.

Well … plus if you’re alive that long and can’t manage to get rich via compound interest you deserve to be staked.

I bet if we mapped out the relationships between various CEOs and boards of directors we could predict these selections rather well…

Woke is when no like thing.

Sounds like a space management skill issue. Git gud.

It’s definitely not human nature and is, instead, an improbably well coordinated conspiracy by a gigantic corporation known for being full of internal conflict over a span of decades to engineer helplessness in users. Whereas we all know that users are normally such resilient, inquisitive souls, more than willing to engage with a piece of technology in order to understand it. Or they were, until Microsoft attacked. Alas, if only it were not for the great evil empire, all would be well. At least this very real conspiracy serves the additional purpose of flattering the community’s vanities and affirming its values as both morally correct and intellectually superior. So we got that going for us, which is nice.

There is no point in debate when you can’t agree on basic facts. A lot of transphobes are living in their own bubble, having completely rejected relevant experts in psychology, medicine, and many other fields.

When it comes to grammar and syntax it makes sense though. Common rules help us understand each other.

Except that we’re talking about individual words here. It’s not as if we’re saying verbs are over now or that all sentences have to be all “Shaka, when the walls fell” or something.

You could have made that point without being rude towards the entirety of the STEM community, but chose not to.

Brought to you by the same people that cheered like baboons for the Patriot Act. 9/11. Murica.

Every time my mom forwards me some stupid thing from a political source I take her off their mailing list.

Given all the mountains I’d go with a science district; probably looking at a +4 here, minimum.

I mean you ARE reading Stormlight Archive. If the screen wasn’t that big you’d end up with a repetitive stress injury from flipping all the pages.

Was raised on Rush Limbaugh starting in the 5th grade, did the edgy Libertarian thing and now … now Bernie Sanders is like the only guy in the country that makes any sense. And now I get to argue with most of my family and many of my friends or just never talk politics or walk away completely. And I get to reckon with all the harm I’ve caused.

Know what’s fun? Constantly realizing what a piece of shit you’ve been. Feeling incredibly stupid for not realizing it sooner. Wondering how you can possibly atone.
