Bob Dylan certainly thinks so: medium.com/…/like-it-is-bob-dylan-explains-what-r…

His take is that Rock n Roll was bringing white and black people together and so the establishment sought to shut it down.

Some blues guitarist back in the day sold his soul to the devil to become the greatest guitar player of his time and with his powers he wrote a album and invented rock n’ roll. He died at age 27 and since then lots of great rock stars have died at age 27. Its called the 27 club. Personally I think that’s fucking cool and it makes me like rock n’ roll even more 🎸

Mouselemming, (edited ) in Question for legal folks: Travel based abortion restrictions

California is a lovely state with many reasons to visit. If a person who happens to be pregnant comes to Los Angeles, she could go camping, skiing, surfing, tour stars’ homes or Disneyland or Hogwarts… And she could get a safe legal abortion. Or the pregnancy could spontaneously miscarry in a hotel room or on the side of a mountain, who knows?

When she goes home no longer pregnant, it’s nobody’s fucking business.

Or she could not go home, and start a new life in a place that respects her.

Edit: feel free to go back and change all the "she"s to "they"s because a pregnant trans man would deserve all the same rights and safe medical care.

I only recall seeing rock n roll start receiving hate after Elvis Presley became big because prudish Christians didn’t like the way he gyrated his hips in most of the things I’ve seen covering the history of rock.

BuffLemmyworlder, in What is your best story when you were in a foreign country?

While in Japan, i once saw two fuzoku girls (which are basically light-prostitutes, they give “special” massages or baths to people) waiting outside a massage parlour at night, then some old dude passed them, and they went crazy and screamed “Wait! wait! wait! dont you want a massage?” and wouldnt let him go.

He just kept on walking with a serious look on his face, and not looking at them, he looked like Patrick Bateman walking around in his workplace with his headset, that kind of serious look.

I host my own one user instances of: Mastodon, Lemmy, PeerTube, I access them from Linux Firefox on the laptop and Sync on Android.

I just released a video about it: tube.jeena.net/w/nivehRx8J7ZwujfS2oCoPC

Funny how just the first few lines of your post clearly establishes that you are from the US

Can_you_change_your_username,

As another person from the US, I don't find it funny at all. A bit disheartening actually.

Twoafros, in Do you have a story about when you saw snow for the first time?

Ethiopian here, first time I saw snow I was 18, during freshman year of uni in the US. I remember seeing snow outside my dorm window for the first time one morning. Got excited and ran outside to experience it. I was disappointed when I felt the snow and realized it was wet and cold. Grateful to be back in the warmer weather :)

  • Accounts: Lots, Main one on oldbytes.space
  • Apps: Tusky
- Uses: Mostly following retrocomputing folk, and running friendly bots.

Platform Name: Lemmy

  • Accounts: This one is my main, a few bot accounts and others just for creating communities
  • Apps: Connect
  • Uses: You all know what this is! I also run a few posting bots

Platform Name: Mbin

  • Accounts: Fedia.io
  • Apps: None, was testing Artemis until it went AWOL
  • Uses: Hosting a few communities still. Was my main Lemmyesque account but Kbin was horribly unreliable. Mbin seems much better but waiting for app support as I like Connect more than the mobile web interface.

Platform Name: Bookwyrm

  • Accounts: wyrms.de
  • Apps: None
  • Uses: Logging and reviewing books I’ve read, keeping track of what is on my pile of books still to read.

Platform Name: Takahē

  • Accounts: Technically one, but it supports multiple profiles
  • Apps: Tusky
  • Uses: Mostly testing, run a few minor accounts there because the multiple profiles feature is ace.

Platform Name: Funkwhale

  • Accounts: One (can’t remember domain offhand)
  • Apps: None
  • Uses: My bots also post here, I’ve never managed to get federation working on it though.

I think that’s it. I did have a PeerTube account but the instance it was on closed down, and I haven’t bothered to make a new one elsewhere.
