I never sign in, I delete cookies everytime my browser quits, but Youtube keeps pushing right-wing, incel bullshit at me

It's because you're clearing out cookies and all that other stuff that you keep seeing it. The youtube algorithm knows that the people who watch that garbage watch it often and for long periods of time, making those kinds of videos a top suggestion. Pretty sad and scary to think of so many people spending all their free time watching and rotting away inside, just soaking it all up to take it with them the next time they interact with real people.

Do Christians really think that being educated is sinful and should be avoided?

Holy cow, I remember these skinny books. Chick tracts, ey? Growing up, back when my folks were still fundies, we had a few on the bookshelf and I remember they were my first time seeing 'nudes' in print. I think the highlight was some dude who went to hell's whole butt, nary a leaf in sight. Prior to that, there was only the carefully, tastefully covered parts of Adam and Eve for me.

Hilarious that my takeaway from these was just first sight of full butt.

Is the DLC considered mandatory to play Rimworld these days?

I would say absolutely not. Modlists and the DLC are just the frosting on the cake. I've been playing since 1.17 and was straight vanilla until very recently when I snagged up Biotech because I wanted generational arcs to the stories I was playing. Not to knock mods at all. I go absolutely buckwild with mods on other games. Base Rimworld simply scratches that itch all by itself.

I've had a weird path to Deftones. When I was younger, they were mega boring to me, but then I discovered Team Sleep immediately after high school and had those songs on repeat for a good couple years without ever connecting the dots that it was the same singer. It was only this year that I finally figured out the Chino connection, so I've been exploring a little more.

Still haven't sat down and listened to an album all the way through though. If anyone wants to drop a rec, I'll take heed!

Chaos!

Throw her on a hill and she'll see that it's way easier than she expects to find the catch. I'm also pretty high strung, generally speaking, and when I couldn't get a hang of changing gears, the moment would devolve into sheer panic and make everything worse as I snubbed the engine with each attempt. And this was during parking lot practice with someone's old car that they were planning on junking anyways, so no need for that level of stress whatsoever.

But then I was taken to a little incline where I could clearly /feel it/ for the first time and after that, I just "got it".

Country music

By odd chance, I got turned onto Sturgill last month and I've had all the albums on repeat since. I had always liked the odd bluegrass or folk song, but never had a real in with country before this. Excited to check out the rest of this list!

Fingers crossed that one of these are still touring.
