Good point. This beggars belief. Because of your rhetorical question, I read to the end - and there it was in the final paragraph. I’m from a country with universal healthcare, so this angle hadn’t occurred to me. Horrendous and cruel

It’s not just Lemmy. I tried looking for this on the app directly and it’s just not available to me. Not sure why
Great song, but YouTube says this video is not available (at least for me anyway)
Yes same to almost all of that, except it gets my teeth too. Worst is when my fingernails are short and my nails and finger pads touch it simultaneously, makes me want to work my jaw up and down as if I’m chewing something like fatty meat. Also send shivers down my spine just thinking about it
And now Cardinal Robert Prevost first USAian to be elected pope - perhaps Trump delegated the job…?
No snack, get smack.
Had my last night out in my adopted country before flying back to my native country to spend time with my terminally ill mom. She passed away in November. I’ve just spent 4 months clearing her place and only need to finalise a few financial things before I can return to my adopted home.
Having spent almost a year in my old country, I’ve realised I feel more part of the new country than the old. It’s my home now. I’ll probably never return to my old country again because I’ve nothing to go back for. I’m excited and hoping my next birthday will be at home.
Whipping Boy, an Irish alt rock band, late 90s Birmingham: I’d never even heard of them before a friend dragged me along. Jaw-flappingly stunning vocals, great songs, lyrics, instrumentation. Thought they were going places, especially on finding a couple of singles/EPs and the album Heartworm, but they broke up not long after. I bought everything they put out and still love when their stuff randomly plays on shuffle.
So a Butlerian Jihad then?
Yes. I’ve only experienced it in 2 countries, neither being the US, but both equally unpleasant.
Maybe a calendar?
