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.

1: My motorbike - hands down my best purchase. That has single handedly done more for my mental health than the last 9 years of various anti depressants.

2: My PC - the same as others. It's just nice to be able to have the option to do just about everything.

3: A car - I didn't really buy this. My mum gave it to me as a first car. It's not the flashiest. It's just the most basic type. But I love it. I spent 23 years just putting off getting my licence until I just decided to get it just to get it out of the way. And I have missed put on so much by it. The sense of freedom, not having to rely on getting lifts, or getting public transport. (Not opposes to public transport. It's just that where I live, it's a pain for commuting)

I thought. If you change where the products are, or replace the products wkth different products. You can just keep it updated and change it over. But then I thought. Well, if you're replacing the products, then you've got the door open. Then it's literally no extra effort to just replace a piece of paper.

Whereas here, you'd actually have to change it from a PC, and make sure you put it all in the right place.
