The Soft Moon: "Deeper": not sure how to describe this but I like it.
Sidenote, does anybody know how to scrobble to last.fm from Apple Music on mobile?

Comment on The kids are alt-right: Teachers know the warning signs when students are radicalized by online hate movements. They just don’t know how to stop it — or if it’s a power struggle they can ever win in ~life

I'm not sure if he knows that I know what that is, but the writing is on the wall: false rape accusations, QAnon, craniology as a justification for racial superiority, Joe Rogan, you name it. He's constantly attempting to derail conversations by talking about the "low-IQ Africans" we work with (his words not mine), the "cabal," things he heard on JRE therefore they must be true, Holocaust denial, shit like that. I think most of us have called him an outright racist at least once (including my store owner overhearing him), but I don't think it phased him. Do I confront this? What should I do?

tunneljumper LinkFor what it's worth, iPads typically come in two versions -- one with WiFi and cellular capabilities, and the other with just WiFi. The WiFi-only ones can get relatively cheap for what you're getting.For what it's worth, iPads typically come in two versions -- one with WiFi and cellular capabilities, and the other with just WiFi.

This is my first Ascension 20 victory on Slay the Spire, the culmination of about 440 in-game hours of attempting probably the most difficult achievement I've ever tried to get.
The gist of it is that whenever you win, you can start a new game with an added difficulty modifier (called an Ascension), with Ascension 20 being the highest level. While it doesn't require quick reflexes or l33t skillz like other games, at this level any mistake can be punished with death, and even then many times you'll still play the "right" way and lose. You have to start thinking about the consequences of what rewards you're taking on the first three floors and how that'll affect you on floors 40-50.

Originally I had planned to use it as an e-reader, score reader, and occasional gaming platform, but I'm surprised at how much more utility I'm getting out of this than I would have expected. Since I don't have a laptop this is kind of my equivalent, and it's nice to have something to work on while laying in bed or on the couch that isn't my small-screen iPhone 8 (not actually a small screen, just in comparison), while also not having to sit at my desktop to get any work done. The lack of ports and full fledged programs means that it won't replace a "true" laptop for me any time soon, but I didn't really buy it for those features in the first place so I can't complain.
Also, I've been anti-Apple for a long time but....fuck their ecosystem is just too good to ignore. I still won't buy new for several reasons, but buying refurb/used Apple stuff isn't a bad deal if you know where to look. It retains its value really well and their products (generally) age gracefully.

I've had someone in my neighborhood lighting them off for 3+ hours every night since the first week of June. Tonight they were explosive enough to rattle my windows.

Not ideal, but better than accidentally killing my mid-60s parents because of oversight.
Other than that, an extra day off is nice to catch up on cleaning and organizing that I’ve been putting off for weeks.

It seems like many of the users are here because we didn’t like the direction reddit was going but then stuff like this is always on top. Is it jealousy? Envy? Wanting to see if you’re better off than your ex?
I don’t necessarily hate these posts, I just don’t see the point in compulsive updates on a separate site here.
Oops, no I didn’t. Thanks!
