This right here. The app is absolutely useless and unnecessary. Just don't use it.

Just bought it. It's under two units. Just get it.

Edit to add: works on Steam Deck.

There were some pretty interesting changes announced. Brief rundown of the two announcements: Brothers can wear beards. Service is no longer mandatory and you don't have to report your time. Sisters can wear slacks to the KH and in service. Disfellowshipped people can be given a simple greeting and can be invited to meetings. Changes to how elders meet with people and dispense judgement. Changes to elders interacting with minors. Changes to the shunning practice.

A lot of people feel that this is in response to the government in Norway removing the JW Org from it's list of official religions and defunding them.

Here's a link to announcement #2. Check the beard! Holy crap! https://www.jw.org/en/news/region/global/2024-Governing-Body-Update-2/

That'd be cool. So much weird shit going on right now. It's like a car crash in slow motion.

 

I haven't been using Reddit since the API stuff happened last summer, but when the GB announcement #2 came out recently, I visited the exjw subreddit and there is some great stuff going on there. I'm DF'd and have been out for a long time, but the posts over there have had me both sad and angry.

It is indeed Latin. Well, mashed together Latin, anyway. :-)

Just wondering at nothing.

No. Please. Don't. Go.

Oh well.

I got my steam deck just after Thanksgiving and love it. It's my first mobile gaming device; my wife loves her switch so I thought I'd give one a shot. Totally worth it. Tons of games for cheap, you can run it through a dock to play on your TV and use console controllers.. ... I feel like an ad, sorry. Been really enjoying it. :-)

Steam says that it's "playable" on the Deck. Might need a custom controller layout, which is probably available in settings. Also mentioned needing to use the onscreen keyboard. Doesn't seem like a barrier to playing.

Going to be super cold where I am this weekend. Thinking that my couch, dogs, and Steam Deck will all get a lot of attention.

...fascists get passes... That's got to be part of a song lyric. If not, it should be.

Got to see these guys last night in a tiny club. So. Fucking. Good. They'll be on tour in a couple of weeks supporting Bongzilla. Check here to see if they'll be playing near you: https://www.instagram.com/p/CsWjChqJp17/?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==

Holy shit. If you need your John Garcia fix, this is the band for you. Spitting (vocal) image of him. Wow

I'm not sure what to think of this band. I like them, but...

From Bandcamp:

There was a time not that long ago when you could count the amount of decent British underground bands on just one hand but now they seem to be popping up every other day. Outer Head are both decent and British so go check 'em out.

Black Rainbows - Superskull (music.youtube.com)
submitted 1 year ago by jasonwherbst to c/stoner_rock
 

From Doom Charts: BLACK RAINBOWS at their absolute best. Listeners will not only find all of their signature high-octane, stoner rock and heavy psych, but so much more! BLACK RAINBOWS also shows a more melodic and softer side. Not only one of my favorite albums of the year so far, but arguably their best work to date.

 

This is something that I made last fall, I think. Used Midjourney with the --tile parameter. The prompt was something about concrete and lichen. When tiled, it has some strong horizontal directionality. A person could always rotate it if they needed vertical or diagonal.

 

From their site: Replica Jesus was established in 2016 by lead guitarist Howard Rigg, bass player Lee Barber and drummer Stu Cheeseman. They quickly realized they needed someone to front the band, with this position eventually falling to Mike Knight who has established himself at the helm as main vocalist and second guitarist.

Based across Derby and Nottingham their sound combines a plethora of influences combining the heavy riffs of 90’s stoner rock, the fuzz and feedback of grunge and the catchiness and groove of 70’s heavy rock. Influences include, Kyuss, Refused, The Bronx and The Jesus Lizard to name a few.

 

Sometimes cool stuff happens when you spell something wrong. The entire prompt was one word: avacadopunk. Give it a shot, curious what y'all get with that prompt.
