this tune ROCKS. Interesting story about the band and singer.

Put it on the menu!

Yeah great points there. To summarize / build upon it, there are several variations.

• the lyrics / visuals are promoting problematic issues
• the artist is actively a problem but their music/visuals don’t reflect this
• the artist was not a problem in the past when they made their best music, but now they are a problem
• one member of a band is a problem. (variations: whether or not the others kicked them off the band)
• the lyrics / visuals were problematic in the past but not any more (variations: whether or not they explicitly rejected that part of their past)

Then there are several ways to engage with music

• actively speak out against the musician
• listen without comment if it’s played
• actively play it yourself
• suggest the music to others
• spend money on the music
• buy their merch (t-shirt, posters)

And of course there are various levels of problem behavior. We all navigate our way in this space of options.

We need an autocorrect setting: “English > American > Beavis & Butthead”.

when gravity fails.

Funny how I remember the fact that I read this, and I looked at the summary on wikipedia, but I totally don’t remember anything about this book. Like it totally had no influence on me.

Yeah, great idea!

oh yeah np I try to say where I heard them from myself too.

Oh yeah I think they say “NiVARna” and now I can’t say it the right way.

Not familiar with it, give it a post and let’s see!

There is/was a brand of bread in Latin America called Bimbo. TIL the name was formed thusly:

The name “Bimbo” was chosen among other candidates such as PanRex, Pan NSE (initials in Spanish for Nutritious, Tasty, and Inexpensive), Sabrosoy, Pan Lirio, and Pan Azteca.[15] The name was formed as the combination of the Disney Bambi and Dumbo films names, which were the favourite movies of Marinela, Lorenzo Servitje’s daughter. Later, the founders would find out that bimbo is an Italian slang for children (shortened from bambino), and that in China the word for bread (面包, miànbāo) is similar to the name of the brand.

gotta be a little careful buying cheap boots bc sometimes they’re made out of cheap leather that reeks to high heaven. or they’re made out of synthentic material that cracks after a couple months. But in general, yes.

I wasn’t goth or anything, just a fucking moron.

just fucking cool. Don’t let Big Interior Decor tell you what to do with your hanging houseplant chains!

Your mom introduced you DIY.

It’s a little more complicated than that obviously. If you want the details once you get out of the shower, you can start here: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/scientific-method/

Yeah I read it that way too. Like his kid is perfect just the way they are… and his mom is perfect just the way she is too.

how are you going to ethically test whether you can manipulate people without… manipulating people.

That’s a great question. In the US, researchers are generally obliged (by their universities or their funders) to use an Institutional Review Board to review any proposed experiment involving human subjects. The IRB look for things like: causing physical or emotional harm to the subjects, taking advantage of vulnerable populations, using deception without consent, etc. The IRB might let you do something like manipulate a subject, if the subjects were informed that they might be manipulated or deceived. Yes, this might introduce an observer effect, but this type of review is generally accepted as being necessary for doing ethical research. However, I’m not familiar with the research in question or with the requirements of the Univ of Zurich where the researchers are from.
