You know something like Tunak Tunak Tun where you got videos like this

For me, it would be Karadeniz Horon Kemençe

I see you with your CLIs. What are you doing?

I mean you immediately fell over in hysterics and it took you weeks to recover, if you ever did. Make me laugh. Please. I really need it.

As in sweetie, pumpkin, sugar, angel, etc.

The answer is capitalism, I know.

But it wasn't always like this. Why the hell are they allowed to absolutely monopolize all shows and venues? How are there not laws on this?

Is stopping going to any shows the only way to fix this? If so, that wont happen. People are gonna go see their favorite bands (and ticketmonster knows it)

I wish this one was as easy as getting rid of all my streaming services - but they really fucked us over for live shows.

I've read a good amount about this, and while by traditional measures there isn't technically a recession, many real‑world signs make it feel like one. What do we think? I don't think this breaks the 6 rule, it's an economic question.

I only seem to feel like my best self when I’m high on thc as I quit alcohol for the time being. I just feel as happy as a kid when I’m high. I feel very bland when I’m sober. I just can’t see being completely sober from weed too.

With SNAP benefits being cut off in the States I thought I would ask the community what y'all are doing to help. If you aren't already fighting to feed yourself.

Hello,

what i mean by that is that if it's possible that some companies like Xiaomi, Realme etc will continue allowing sideloading the apps? I mean they have already modified the Android source code, how hard it could be to just allow sideloading, isn't it just something like allow_sideloading=true.

my guess is that Google services will refused to work on phones that allows sideloading, that could prevent other companies from allowing sideloading.

what are your thoughts?

I kinda went on a little research spree on economics this afternoon but at one point I figured it's probably good to know if it's possible for, say, at least 98% of people on earth to live a happy fulfilled life at all.

I know there's plenty of people who'd be more than happy to have literally nothing more than a house, food and water, but that still leaves a whole lot of people who want other things in life.

Do we have any metrics or data on wether the earth can sustain roughly 8 billion humans?

You all know what I'm talking about. I was just watching a video on another post, and literally the first ten seconds of audio were covered up by BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. I know it's everywhere, but already I stop watching YouTube channels that use it, and I don't watch TV very much because of it.

I'm not sure if other people feel this way, and it sounds kinda whiney when I type it out like this, but the pitch hurts my ears and disrupts my concentration on the video in a way that irritates me way more than it should.

Well, every website I find is either crashing either not working on mobile.

I have social anxiety and never been in a relationship and find it very difficult as an average looking dude to meet women. I get bad anxiety when trying to approach a girl I like or find attractive so avoid it. I’m still working on myself so I know that needs to come first. Just looking to see what others did to find a girlfriend with similar difficulties.

I have a few: Star Wars, Star Trek, MCU.

Hello. If I wanted to be a mod for a community that does not have more than one mod and said mod has not been active in 2 years, I assume from what I have seen, how can we join this as a mod to help give it life?

In the 90's a lot of popular song were pretty political, remember Killing in the name of and even the skate pop-punk has pretty popular political song's (Offspring, Blink Green-day). Actually political movies were also quite big in the 90's/00's (French Masterpiece La haine, or the whole work of Michael Moore).

I would expect to see that the people who were teens/young adult at the time would tackle all these issues 20-30 years latter when they'll finally take the power and the reality is that everything got worse, than even talking about-it make you sound like a radical, and that the gen-X/Millennials totally failed to change something.

What happened ? and how did we fail ?

This is a private message I got today. I have no idea what is going on or what the fuck it means.

"Greetings to you; I am an agent of one of the headquarters of the Illuminati organizations. You are one of the lucky ones who received this invitation to join the brotherhood, because we see something great in you that can be raised for the betterment of this world. We can help you achieve your goals in life, whether you are a politician, doctor, lawyer, musician, president, pastor, engineer, pilot, etc. And the fact that you received this information does not mean you are superior, but simply description.

It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this.

Edit--I understand it is a scam and that I should disregard it. I just found it interesting that it is now showing up on Lemmy.

Edit the edit- It seems their account has either blocked me or was deleted either way it works. Thanks for the fun. Let's do it again some time.

Feels like the whole scene’s changed lately — between new rules, KYC walls, and crypto sites popping up everywhere.

Are people still sticking with the old-school bookies like Bet365 and Paddy Power, or is everyone jumping over to crypto casinos now?

Also, are welcome bonuses still a thing? I keep seeing offers that sound good but turn out to be trash when you read the fine print.

Would love to hear how folks here are actually playing in 2025 — what works, what doesn’t, and which platforms still feel fair to use.
