To be fair, I don't think her views are all that important. Especially when she was alive. But at least she's rotting now. So that's good.

I think it could be seen as "separate the art. From the artist". Okay, yes, the artist is absolutely fucking horrific. But. If the music is alright, then it should be removed, especially if it helps others.

One example of this from me is Call Of Duty Advanced Warfare. Whilst there is an argument to be made about Spacey, I thoroughly enjoyed the campaign of that game and will replay it every so often. This has happened woth music artists that I thoroughly enjoy. Whilst I can't name any off the top of my head, I think one or two may have been on the worse side.

There's also a case for Elvis Presley, I have heard of bad things that he has done, and those are terrible actions, I do still enjoy his music.

For a really extreme example, Hitler. His actions and opinions are vile. But he was a talented painter.

My point being, I feel there is a case in Kendrick's opinions of R Kelly that whilst he doesn't support those actions, his views could be, fuck the artist, but don't fuck the art.

Well, hey, at least you know how to do that now!

Oh, gotcha, my bad, I misread it.

I don't have any coding knowledge, so I'm a bit useless here sorry.

Wouldn't it be possible to just add the site like?

Lemme.ee##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/motherjones.com/i"))

I'm assuming the code ignores hyperlinks and just looks at the code to find a certain string?

Is UBlacklist what you're looking for? I don't fully get the question, but I know that blocks urls from search engines (it supports Google, duckduckgo and others, but you'd need to double check.)

I'm pretty sure he "lost" it in there purely so he can use it as a projectile when he's in danger. This should allow fpr leeway on a sexual assault charge. And he can claim.its not premeditated.

How about hydrogen from water? Yeah, you need high amounts of electricity to get it, but, as one example, if it's used in ICE engines, isn't that significantly cleaner than petrol? And a lot less damaging than making lithium batteries? Once burned, wouldn't it just react with oxygen to then form water vapour? And then, if it's making water, that's a self-sufficient cycle?

I feel like hydrogen can potentially be a very good solution, but the technology needs to catch up massively. I mean, scientists are getting to on nuclear fusion reactors, and their yield seems a lot better than everything else. Even fission reactors.

Also, I had this thought the other day, and yes, it's extremely futuristic, with the right people in charge thought, but mining gas planets for the hydrogen. We'll more than likely never inhabit those ones or use them for much, so we might as well use them for something, at least. At least before Dyson swarms become a thing.

I tilted my head in the opposite direction. Until I went to save ot, that I realised I could've just turned my phone.

Oh, good, I'm glad it helped.

I will always suggest that if it's not gonna cause other issues, get a bike.

I won't lie, I'm one of the types that does little dances on ot when the right songs come on. And singing. But somehow, I can still concentrate on it, it is really relaxing.

You don't even have to jump straight to the big ones. Even a 125, whilst it won't give the full experience, will be more than enough to see if you can get on with them.

Oh damn, yeah thats a lot different here. Especially the monsoons. This may sound dumb, but how does the bikes hold up in that weather condition? And another dumb one, how do you get burnt by the exhausts?

Thay sounds peaceful though, with the bus. Especially compared to the bike.

Bikes are just wonderful, stay safe, man.

I'm gonna be honest. I find it really hard to describe the feeling. I'll try, though, but I'll try. Sorry if it doesn't make sense.

It's not just a mode of transportation to me, at least. There's an insane sense of freedom to it. The adrenaline from having sports car acceleration speeds just straight between your legs. It's like when people say to play music as a coping mechanism. Only this mechanism isn't just sitting around. It actively forces your mind off those things. Like, yeah, you'll think about it. You may still have those megatove thoughts. But they just sorta melt away and get blasted away, almost. The raw sounds of the engine, only adding to it. Ot drains it all out, (If you like the sound, I personally have a stock exhaust, as thays more than enough, I really enjoy the sound of just amy exhaust, well, except the shitty tinny ones thay oiss everyone off. Or the unnecessarily loud ones)

And the fact that you are sat on top of a solid block of steel, with thousands of explosions happening right there. Woth a fuel tank just above it. Kicking out insane power, even a 67hp 650cc. With pretty much nothing protecting you. One slight mistake, and it all goes tits up. But you're in control of it. And it's gonna keep you upright if you handle it. It's relaxing. I also think it helps because you can feel what the bike is doing. Even with slight inputs.

Keanu Reeves said, "If you ride a bicycle, you can kind of understand."

Sorry if thays too long and doesn't make sense. And sorry if it's kinda cringe. But, I truly do love the bike.

(Also, from what I've seen, the biker community is insanely inclusive and nice. Even just riding past another rider. Just that simple gesture of "Hey man," it makes you feel like you're somewhere you belong)
