I wonder if Lemmy would allow me to create a poll community here where the posts are links to this StrawPoll?

FWIW,

On April 25, 2019, the Temple announced it had received tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service, being classified as a “church or a convention or association of churches”.[40] The Satanic Temple had previously been reluctant to pursue tax-exempt status until the Johnson Amendment was weakened by an executive order “Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty” signed by President Trump in May 2017, which TST viewed as unfairly giving higher status to religious individuals.[41]
😁🙂
FWIW, 180 million acres is about 728 000 sq km,
which is bigger than Texas.
I probably heard stuff on the radio (CBC-1) and even on Lemmy that I’ve taken a liking to the first time I’ve heard them, but have yet to search for them. But here are a few relatively recent stuff. I pretty sure I’ve listened to each of the first 3 at least 10x, maybe ≥20x.
Clarissa - Ela [might be “bedroom pop”/lo-fi/dream pop/techno-pop/soft] (2021)

Yeah, I know, 2 young attractive barefoot women who kiss in the end and the translation, IIUC, indicates that her parents wouldn’t understand their relationship, but I’ve taken quite a liking to the music.
Ivana Máchová & Miriam Hrušková - Terezka [sounds a bit like ABBA] (1979)

Cold Showers - “Sliver” (Official Video) (they sound a bit like Depeche Mode)

Also, this sounds like great My Bloody Valentine: 😁🙂

Oops. I misread your previous reply. My error. Sorry.
Thank you for the good follow up. 🙂
fellow Canadian here (Toronto, FWIW):
I’ve heard a U.S. person call another person aggressive as a compliment. In Canada, it’s an insult.
agree.
Also, there are fewer individual rights and more group rights.
I’m more into individual rights. Here in Toronto, I wonder if a topless woman wearing a hijab could smoke a big fat spliff in front of a police station and not get hassled.
We are not as fanatical about sports.
How about hockey?
Iran’s doing that already.
Cutting off Israel will hurt the genociders even more.
If you’re American, maybe run for President in 2028 on a “No to Israel” platform; put $100 million into it. Don’t scare fellow Americans with extremist stuff, but feel free to insult your rivals. Maybe insult MAGAts as dumb fucks who’d take a bullet for Trump and get nothing.
1010 mountain bikes, 1000 to give away; a canoe; a little propeller-driven Cessna airplane; and a good non-Telsa non-Chinese electric car without the electronic-digital-internet-AI-bullshit frills might bring more and better satisfaction.
Maybe pay 500 musicians (generally my choice of music) x $20/hr x 3000 hours (about 1.5 person-years) (= $30 million) to write and record anything they want, but it has to be original and released into the public domain.
Exceptions could be made for derivatives of music already in the public domain.
Occasionally I might check on them for if they are composing, or composing and recording; and originality.
I might pay for novelty songs such as hard rock and heavy metal on horns; Suicide’s Ghost Rider but replace synths with tuba and harmonica; nonagenarian socialist to do Kid Rock’s Bawitdaba; Trump and Epstein look-a-likes do Nugent’s Little Miss Dangerous; etc.
So it’s okay to enjoy Hitler (and Dali) paintings while listening to Wagner or whatever Charles Manson recorded?
I used to think Dali was better, then I recently read how much of a bad person he was. Now I slowly look for alternatives.

That’s assuming one buys the main industry line that pirating (necessarily) hurts the artists;
but if trans-friendly fanfics do well, that would seem to be a better revenge.

Harris got a >50% more votes in California than Trump, or over 3 million more.
If 3 million Californians who voted for Harris instead voted for 3rd party candidates, or stayed home, she still would have won California.
If 500 000 Texans who voted for Trump instead voted for Harris, she still would have lost Texas.
Over 4.8 million Texans voted for Harris, and she still lost that state.

Maybe we can build even more big beautiful windmills.
