I dunno, I'm not a fan of this sentiment. Music tastes are personal, it's okay to think, "nah, music of this country isn't really for me," because music of a given country will often have certain elements that won't appeal to everyone. It's not like you're uncultured or being unfair for it. And you don't necessarily have to give it a good try first because you're probably exposed to it anyways. Any stranger on the street can probably think of an example (though not necessarily a whole song) if you bring up Spanish music, Indian music, K-pop, etc..

The language bit I get, but some people prefer songs where they can understand the lyrics, and that's also okay. I'm sort of one of those people, though in my case it's more "I want to have a general idea what's being said because if it's a good song I'll want to sing along and I don't want to unknowingly say something obscene," so it doesn't stop me from listening to foreign songs as long as I can screen the lyrics.

Fun prank.

"How do you know they're all booked? Maybe someone didn't show up. Can you go check?"

Hehe, you could say that reply was done with much... celerity.

He's holding a bean in his other hand. Presumably, he doubles as a scale.

He also flies sometimes.

It's so super, it's 10x normal math.

Nah, paying taxes just isn't for me...

I understandIt's clearly short for "Sun Wukong."

To be fair, it's asking "Did Jimmy Carter die today?" not "Will Jimmy Carter have died today?"

Looks like the account posted no in the morning and he died in the evening, at least by UTC. So it's not entirely wrong.

I've never heard of this until now, so take it with several grains of salt.

I'd imagine the complaints stem from the fact that she was never in charge of the country.
But then they should have complained when Ben Franklin was announced.
Or maybe they did complain when Ben Franklin was announced, but you can't really go "look at these bigots hating on Benjamin Franklin," so that wasn't shared around as much.
Of course even if that were the case, there would be people who draw the line at Tubman and not Franklin anyways, which could be a case of actual bigotry.
Or maybe a significant subset of the audience wasn't taught in school that Tubman was that influential, and sees this as blowing a historical figure out of proportion.

 
 

There have been quite a few comments and posts arguing about political memes and whether they belong here. I'm not exactly in any position of authority, but hopefully I can do something about this.

Which option do y'all think is best?

  1. People who want to post political memes do so in !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca instead.
  2. People who don't want to see political memes subscribe to !memes@sopuli.xyz instead, which doesn't allow politics.
  3. Nothing changes.

I'm not asking for a rule to be made, I'm just asking for the general consensus. I'm hoping that this will help to raise awareness of those other communities, so that if people favor option 1, more political meme posters can move there, and if people favor option 2, more people who don't want politics can move there. And then I can also know whether to keep watching this community or move.

(Please don't downvote this post for complaining about political memes, because if it gets seen, it tells the complainers where they can go to avoid political memes, and then they'll be out of your hair.)

 

Howdy all! Some of my friends and I have been doing some planning for a Sonic themed platform fighter. We're still in the planning phase, because I want to make sure I can form a team before moving forward with development.

That said, if it interests you, why don't you come join our Discord server? We can discuss plans, and perhaps you could even join our team. We're particularly looking for people who can help make the animations. We have one guy for that already, but many hands make light work.

I'm planning on taking care of the programming, by the way.

Click to join the Discord.

 

I was looking around to see if there were any good Sonic fangames in the platform fighter genre, a la Super Smash Bros. I found a few traditional fighters, but I much prefer the simpler controls of platform fighters.

Anyone know of any they can recommend? If not, I might look into making my own. Not sure yet.
