PonyOfWar, in What do you want for Christmas?

I’ve kind of stopped caring about the gift-receiving aspect of christmas in recent years. So I mainly look forward to the family Raclette dinner on christmas eve and meeting some old friends who come home for christmas.

I actually hate the whole gift cycle. I have to often seen it become like a competition.

The core of Abrahamic religion is based around an in-group / out-group ideology. When you dove-tail off that premise it is clear that Abrahamic religion uses labelism such as “evil” or “from the devil” in order to obfuscate their suppression and opression of the out-group.

ViscloReader, in Anyone else no longer remember snoozing their alarm?

Yeah it happened to me multiple time, also once or twice I shut the alarm entirely subconsciously and I woke up 1-2 hours late.

Now I try to wake up with the sun and it seems to be working better than other techniques

spacecowboy,

Where I live the sun doesn’t come up til 8am this time of year. I start work an hour before that.

Summertime the sun comes up around 5am, and I love waking up with it. Winter is much more difficult.

SgtAStrawberry,

At least its there in the morning, here it comes up between 03:00 and never depending on the time of year.

jjjalljs, in Does "Rock music is evil / of the devil" have racist roots?

I’ve never heard anyone blame the drums before. Usually it’s thinly veiled “rock is blues, blues is black, black is bad”

Also sometimes “too left wing. Damn commies”, sometimes.

Brian David Gilbert has always made cool stuff, but as he spun off from polygon he’s created some wild existential videos.

i think AVGN still posts quality, especially since its been almost 20 years of AVGN. but it depends on who you ask

starman2112, in What groups you are unwillingly associated with? How you handle it?
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

I watch a ton of anime, and I hate weebs so damn much

Mrkawfee, in Is it just my circle, or has it been a challenge getting into the Christmas/holiday spirit the last couple of years?

Seeing kids being butchered in Gaza or grieving their dead parents is definitely a bummer for me.

Krzd, in How many tabs do you have open?
@Krzd@lemmy.world avatar

probably around 300, split into 2 windows, one “main” and one that’s effectively my YouTube to watch list

ctag,
@ctag@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

That’s pretty interesting, I find myself doing that with 3-5 youtube videos at a time. I’ll watch maybe two and eventually close the window and lose the others.

oxideseven,

Why not add them to the watch later list?

Krzd,
@Krzd@lemmy.world avatar

unless they’ve changed it, removing videos from the list I don’t want to watch always felt like a hassle, closing tabs is easier and has an easy “undo” function

Sunroc, in Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?

Beau Miles. He is just so different. His content really challenges my cynicism.

Donebrach, in Is it just my circle, or has it been a challenge getting into the Christmas/holiday spirit the last couple of years?
@Donebrach@lemmy.world avatar

there are a lot of factors for me but i feel it, and i think a big part is climate change. i live in new england and it was 60 degreees and raining the other day, pretty hard to get into the holiday spirit when it’s spring outside.

Also, before the goblinos start, yes there are many places where christmas happens in summer, summer type weather, etc, but that is not how it was for me growing up and most of my adult life.

I’m honestly surprised to have not seen Super Eyepatch Wolf show up yet. Because of him, I’ll never look at Garfield the same way again. He might not put out content often, but as far as I’ve seen, it’s all top notch quality.

Tokyo Lens is another I enjoy. Fun explorations of Japan, lots of cool informational stuff, stuff like that. A little bit Abroad in Japan, but somewhat less bombastically edited, and a bit more positive.

Clemps is another one that doesn’t put out content very often, but does some great deep dives into older JRPGs, and some fantastic looks at Yoko Taro’s games.

Then there’s the ones that have been posted again and again: RedLetterMedia, Technology Connections, Tom Scott, Jacob Geller, Food Wishes, You Suck At Cooking. I’m sure there’s more out there, and there will always be more new ones popping up, too.
