What shitty things have your favourite bands/artists done?
  • What does it mean “defenders.” Am I a defender if I’ll still go to a concert? Morrissey didn’t start saying stupid things yesterday, he was always stupid. Reading his autobiography which I have done but don’t recommend to others reveals he’s always been a pretentious weirdo without the goods to back it up, expect the musical talent.

  • I just finished DS9, and I'm sad to know that we'll never get anything like it again
  • It took some time to find its voice but when it did it became so amazing. You’re right there won’t ever be something like it. DS9 was sophisticated and nuanced.

    Just compare it to modern Star Trek. In DS9 when the characters learn about Section 31 it’s a multi episode story and several characters almost go crazy from the realisation of what that actually means for the Federation.

    In Discovery, everyone knows about Section 31. It’s a bunch of special ops badasses that interfere in sovereign societies’ politics and that’s A okay.

  • Chat Control 2.0: EU governments set to approve the end of private messaging and secure encryption
  • what did you think would happen when unelected elites start appointing Commissioners for Truth?

    After all, as many were keen to point out during the EU/Musk row, there’s no free speech in Europe so why should there be private speech?

  • Vegan food: The west vs India
  • Enjoy your stale rice and rotting chicken drowned in masalas and curries that taste like dish soap. I will be eating a sumptuous rare steak, seasoned only very lightly with salt pepper and some butter.

    When it comes to cuisine, white supremacy is very real.

  • Vegan food: The west vs India
  • I see the seasoning police has arrived. It's funny and also sad that you think normal food flavors are "bland." Better drown everything in Lawry's seasoned salt and Dr Buttblast.

  • Public Transit my beloved 😍
  • Thankfully, my little corner store will remain open during floods and other natural disasters as well as pandemics and such. So it will never be necessary for me to have more than 24 hours worth of food in my house.

  • Kublai Khan - The Hammer (Official Music Video)
  • Prostitution is rape. Legal prostitution is legalized rape. Simple as. I reject your vulgar Marxist sophistry. 20th century communists were all against prostitution. Go read some Kollontai.

  • Bedbug crisis sparks political row in Paris as insect ‘scourge’ continues
  • I've been thinking about this and it seems developed and developing countries have some kind of an ideological thing against ectoparasitic medications. There's a common delusion that stuff like lice, fleas, bedbugs, etc, are very rare because everything and everyone is so clean these days.

    But it's not really true. All these parasites circulate, especially now that people travel so much for business and pleasure. Also, none of these parasites really care how clean your body and your house are, all they "care" about is drinking your blood.

    I really think if we could get over this wrong idea, and we could start actual government-funded research into effective and safe ectoparasitic drugs for human use, we'd stand a much better chance at ending bedgbugs and other stuff once for all. Environmental treatments have been proven ineffective time and time again. They work for a while and then the bugs develop resistance. We need a way to make our blood unpalatable to them.

  • Bedbug crisis sparks political row in Paris as insect ‘scourge’ continues
  • If that is true then the only recourse will be antiparasitic drugs. Ivermectin seems to kill bedbugs but not for very long. Fluralaner seems promising.

    It’s very interesting that when we treat animals for parasites we treat the animal itself but for humans we believe that something as nebulous as “treating the space” is actually possible.

    When the world is ready to actual solve bedbugs it’ll solve them through a pill you take.

  • Bedbug crisis sparks political row in Paris as insect ‘scourge’ continues
  • There’s no other solution than to treat them the way we did the first time — with DDT.

    Bedbug populations are not necessarily increasing but returning to normal pre-DDT levels.

    There’s btw no reason not to use DDT. The cancer fear was overblown. Obviously it’s not a substance that should be available over the counter, but there’s no reason why qualified and trained personell shouldn’t be able to use it.
