Not lost entirely, but there have been tons of times lately where the answers I look to reddit for are deleted or the discourse in the comments is peppered with deletions to the point that the narrative is gone.

No, let's not shift the blame away from the ad provider setting the enormously high ad rate.

Was introduced to him when Semisonic used his work as the cover to their EP "You're Not Alone" back in 2020. Truly epic artistic ability

I installed it on a Roku device 2 weeks ago. Was as simple as searching for it on the device like any other channel.

You’re talking about over a hundred people being reckless which seems hard to believe.

I agree with your overall point, but I find this very easy to believe.

I have a lot of music most of which is video game soundtracks and rips. I have tagged most of it using VGMdb years ago but most tools have poor or no support for it now. MusicBrainz is missing far too many albums and usually prioritizes translated track titles. It also lacks the huge amount of images for albums that VGMdb has

Just wanted to echo this as my experience too. It's unreal how many times my wife has to change her entire lesson plan for an entire grade because one parent wanted to complain about a non-issue while at the same time parents refuse to address real issues that disrupt not just their student but the learning experience of everyone else.

If the cause of the mosquito rise is climate change, then the answer is to address the cause of the issue.

Decent people being the people who have been educated and exposed to more cultural and ideological diversity than what you're going to find in the ultra rural environment that is much of the south where the majority of your social circle is who you're related to and who you see at church.

The southern cities are much better but in most cases it's 1 or 2 generations removed from that rural squalor. The advent of the Internet and the natural mixing of people's from other parts of the country will continue to push the cities more diverse and accepting.

I too have lived across the United States spending much of my formative years in the American South. Every single area has issues. You'll find more bigotry in areas of low education or high ignorance. Both of those aspects can come from a variety of sources (religion, low wealth, poor education, isolation, etc).

The thing I have never found useful though is hating a large, generalized group or area. You will always find a particular part of the country more acceptable to the way you want to live simply because the culture is aligned with the values that you hold. In my experience everyone is much more similar than they are different. For all the complaining you are doing about Southerner's being bigoted, you yourself are holding animosity toward this group of people.

If you understand the history of the region and look at the rampant corruption of the government in the area, you can come to understand the reason it is the way it is. I personally don't hold it against them as most of it is directly attributed to ignorance, lack of experience with other cultures, the cult-like religious stranglehold, and general media misinformation. The majority of people are compassionate and are willing to accept others once some understanding is established in regards to outside cultures/ideals. Of course there are extremists who will not relent and those people thrive in areas of ignorance.

"Fuck the South" contributes to the issues and further inhibits tolerance in an area that needs it the most.
