Does Weird Al count? Because he is just as talented as any “serious” musician.

Also, The Presidents of the United States of America.

Tangentially related: if you see something that needs to be addressed now, like CSAM or gore, notify an instance admin via Matrix. That tool can send push notifications, so you’re more likely to get a prompt response. Some instances also have public Matrix chats you can use.

You can find the Matrix account info for Lemmy users by clicking the “Send Secure Message” button in a user’s profile.

You can dance if you want to.

The ghosts in Super Mario Brothers 3 (1988) would pursue Mario only when he looked away. When he faced them they would stop and hide their faces.

Good idea! Done.

You have a free weekend with no plans or obligations. What do you do with that free time?

I think two issues have caused them to take baby steps here.
First, there was a big lawsuit between the Girl Scout of America and the Boy Scouts of America. The Boy Scouts wanted to open up to girls, and the Girl Scouts felt like their turf was being threatened. That took years to resolve.
Second, scouting has deep personal ties for some folks. People can get irrationally emotional about changes to the program, as if there’s some sacred tradition at stake.

In the northeast US we have something similar called Adirondack shelters. The fire pit is outside the shelter, though. As usual, the Scandinavian version is better.

As much as I wish I could try an F2000 or AUG, I have no credible first-hand experience and can only parrot complaints that I have read on the Internet:

Ambidextrous use is more difficult when the ejection port is next to the shooter’s face. It’s not ideal for all your left-handed soldiers to have their weapons setup differently from all your right-handed soldiers. A workaround like the forward ejection on the F2000 is technically impressive, but complex.

All the controls - trigger, safety, bolt release, magazine release - are either operated by longer/more complex mechanisms or are tucked under the shooter’s chin, farther away from the normal hand positions.

Putting the chamber close to the shooter’s ear is nobody’s idea of fun.

This reminds me of the tech bros from Three Panel Soul.

Good ol’ Shitpost Calligrapher!

I really like these roundups. Thanks for doing this.

Definitely don’t tell him you have a pacemaker.
