That’s great! It’s not super helpful for me, though, since I teach students that often aren’t good at troubleshooting technology issues on their own so I need an app that’s pretty universal and user-friendly. Plus, the question specifically asked about stuff in the Android play store…
CamScanner (intuitive and powerful scanner app that processes images exceptionally well and interfaces cleanly with all sorts of other apps) and Hiper Calc Pro (scientific calculator that shows you your input and looks like a classic calculator interface)
Exactly. And frankly, from a brewing and chemical engineering perspective, the consistency and subtle flavors of a light beer is more impressive than something like an IPA where you can just blow out the drinker’s palate with hops and win an award for it.
Don’t get me wrong, I still love big beers. It’s just that I’m almost 40 with three hyperactive, mischievous, and hellaciously smart kids under 10 (and a partner to match); there are many times where light and predictable is really nice.
Time to strap in
Time to stock up on 1:1 CBD:THC edibles and renew the xanax prescription. Otherwise, my liver will never survive the next 4-5 months…
You’re definitely right; maybe someone like Dolly Parton would have been a better comparison, but even Dolly doesn’t really capture his big Swift is.
Really, my first instinct was to go with Neil Young because he’s one of my favorite artists of all time, and I do think that a lot of his biggest hits weren’t really overly political, probably split about 50:50 even if we remember the more political stuff now. For every “Ohio” and “For What It’s Worth,” there’s a “Heart of Gold” and “Helpless.”
But really I’m splitting hairs because I like talking about music and playing the devil’s advocate. Your initial point that Swift isn’t known for writing protest music is absolutely correct.
Taylor Swift definitely has some political songs like “The Man,” which is focused on the double standard faced by female celebrities, or “You Need to Calm Down,” which is explicitly pro-LGBTQ+, etc.
I’m just pining for a better yesteryear that may have never actually existed.
I mean, Neil Young and Joan Baez were encouraging people to vote back in the 60’s, so it’s been at least 60 years that popular music has been closely involved in youth culture’s voting habits
It’s not “ironically named,” it’s misleadingly named. This bullshit is never on accident.
Profession can absolutely affect volume. Even without any hearing damage, any job that regularly requires that you project can become a habit.
I’m a chemistry professor at a community college, fairly well educated, and I flatter myself to say reasonably intelligent, but I still slip into what my wife calls my “teaching voice” in some social settings or even occasionally at home.
In other news, water is wet.
I was lucky enough to see Ibram X. Kendi speak on anti-racism in higher education, and it was illuminating to realize that, as a white, cis-het man, I might not be able to work within the system to change the system without actively breaking laws.
The example he used was actually affirmative action and EEO standards and how the best an ally can do in certain situations might be to put your thumb on the scale even when it’s technically illegal.
Basically, if you want to be anti-racist, you’ve gotta be Chaotic Good since the system is literally rigged against people of color.
Like the post said the other day, “paying attention is infuriating and exhausting, but not paying attention seems irresponsible”
Isn’t the whole album based on Animal Farm? Might as well just read that, since you could probably read the whole book in the time it takes to listen to a Pink Floyd album
Granted I only married into a Minnesotan family and my experience with the Dakotas is fairly limited, but I would have said that they’re a pretty broad spectrum from east to west, especially in South Dakota. Rapid City is definitely pretty similar to Montana and Wyoming, but Mitchell, Sioux Falls, and Fargo are all far more similar to Minnesota
Then again, I’m thinking “culturally” not “politically,” so if you’re thinking about how they vote, you’re probably right that they’re likely more similar to MT than MN.
Me too. I was really wondering what sort of interview this was.
Not, you’re thinking of Deadshot. A deadlock is a Scottish body of water that has been polluted to the point that no life exists in the lake.
Indian, I think
How can anyone who has uttered the words “rule of law” in the past 4 years want someone who has spent much of their life dodging the law over someone who had a career in enforcing it?
You misunderstand. Republicans won’t come out and condemn her as “too tough on crime” directly; they’ll fund attack ads and troll farms that will present her as “not progressive enough” as a way to depress progressive voter turnout.
It’s not about trying to sway centrists, because even Republicans can recognize that that would look hypocritical and contradictory. It’s about encouraging infighting among leftists and liberals
You forgot the /s
Kerbal Space Program has tons of mods that add realism, including a “realism overhaul” and a “Real Solar System” mod that also adds a realistic sky box
