Thanks! That's really nice of you.

I don't think a membre of the security council csn really "abuse" veto power. What do you think would happen if they couldn't?

Again, I'd like to say that there can be value in such an association. Just as I see value in associations like ICC and NATO. They're just not a forum to solve disputes and that's OK.

Not a dumb question and welcome to Lemmy! Not sure if this is a joke or not considering what we were just discussing just now but I'll send you a PM in case you mean it.

I've received a few texts in the past, or messages in WhatsApp, that start by a message apparently sent to the wrong person. Sometimes they had the photo of an a young attractive lady. When you reply, they continue conversing anyway, as if they were bored. By after a while, it gets pretty clear it's fake. I had one go from broken English short messages to elaborate ChatGPT messages to feign interest in fringe interests I expressed having.

There could be value in such an association, but it wouldn't replace the UN, far from it.

What's your proposing is akin to the ICC, where willing states join and agree to comply with its rulings.

The UN serves as a forum for all countries of the world. If no privileges were given to the world's most powerful countries, they might just leave it, severaly reducing its use in the process.

Yea, the Nazis were famously short on oil. They badly needed USSR's oil fields.

I may be wrong but I think China needs that straight open, mayb3 even more than the US do.

I expect China wouldn't be happy about the Straight of Hormus being closed though.

I've neither watched the movies, nor read the original. I didn't know about this character before today.

I'm as opposed to genocide and fascism as anyone else here, but I don't see how that's different from any other nuclear power's policy of using nuclear weapons when its existence is threatened.

EDIT: nevermind, the article starts off by saying the nuclear weapon would be used against the invader, but then multiple authors refer to their launch to indiscriminate targets around the world, a nuclear winter, etc.

I have a stomach flu. My government recommends me to eat as normally as possible.

I've generally had no appetite.

And the idea of eating foods, even bland, often makes me feel nauseous.

And when I do eat, I often want to puke what I ate.

Why does my body do this if I'm supposed to fill my guts with food?

 

I'm hesitating between Vex Go and Lego Education Spike for my 7 years old son who's interested in robotics.

Vex has a good organization system which is a big plus, but Lego looks like it has more cool things you can do with it.

I wanted to compare what customers thought but I have trouble finding indormation so I'm turning to you. Anyone has had experience with these products or any other?

Thank you

 

I was wondering if we have older metalheads here?

I've been educating myself on the history of metal, and that made me wonder if anyone here is much older than I am (early thirties here) and has seen some of that history.

How did you get into metal? How old were you?

Any interesting experience you'd like to share? Things that have changed?

How were metal and metalheads perceived where you lived?

J'avais créé cette carte il y a quelques années. Elle reste encore largement utile, je l'utilise encore. À ma connaissance, Montréal n'offre pas encore de carte pour ça.

Faites profiter à votre famille de nos paraugeoires et jeux d'eau à Montréal en ce temps de canicule!

 

Je vis proche, et je le fréquente souvent. Pour ma part, je trouve ça un peu triste, parce que j'y trouve des éléments architecturaux à l'intérieur qui sont intéressants, témoins d'une autre époque, mais c'est pour le mieux, car je ne peux qu'être pour une plus grande densification, et la Place Versailles a un stationnement vraiment excessif.

 

Hey,

I'm generally more into melodeath, power metal, folk metal, and epic heavy metal. I sometimes listen to black metal, but I'm not a big fan of it. Unless it's blackened something (death, folk...)

But some black metal songs are something else for me.

Keys to the Astral Gates and Mystic Doors

This one has absolutely beautiful dungeon synth over the raw black metal, and I love it.

Winter Lantern - Elven Blood

Listen to "Her Body Broken in the Bloody Snow".

This one also has excellent dungeon synth, together with black metal. Very good songs, their only flaw, which pisses me to no end, is the unnecessary effect on the vocals.

Now that I'm typing it out, I guess that what I'm looking for are bands that put emphasis on dungeon synth, but are still metal? But how do I look for more? Is there even a genre that I can search to find more of that?

I don't know subgenres of BM well (sorry, I'm definitely not trve kvlt enough), I tried:

  • Raw BM: this sounds to be typical raw production second wave like Mayhem
  • Melodic BM: seems like pure melodic BM (without death, or punk, etc.) hardly exist. Found good bands, but not what I'm looking for
  • USBM: generally not what I'm looking for
  • Lofi BM: might be the best match? Found Nihilitic Depths - Beneath Forgotten Ruins which is quite similar, but bands described lofi BM don't always correspond

Any help is welcome. Suggestions of bands or albums welcome too. After all, there might not be a name for that.

Thanks
