Weirdly reminds me of Futurama

A band I love in a related musical area is Trophy Hunt https://trophyhunt.bandcamp.com/

Definitely a lot of black metal particularly where it’s merged with folk influences. Panopticon is a prime example

Gattaca is immense, still underrated imo.

Dark City and (the probably obvious) Arrival are my picks

There is one with John Boyega portraying the son of the Marshal so based maybe 10 years or so after the original. Not quite up there with the first film but still fun, basically “Pacific Rim: Team Kids”

To divide people, families, friends, colleagues, etc is exactly the point of what I consider to be a human sacrifice on the altar of the alt-right. Don’t worry, already got my tin foil hat ready but anything to take attention away from the real culprits of misery for most: the super rich, political “elite” and corporations

Loved Rockbox, installed it on my Sansa Clip+ back in the day and was able to scrobble through it

You might want something a bit bigger for dedicated local music OTG but I love my compact Shanling m0 for listening to music on runs. Relatively cheap, supports SD cards up to 512GB (no built in storage), BT as well as headphone jack

I donate to a charity that I know will help (they’ve helped family members in the past), Shelter, but I genuinely say to those who ask me around my town that I have no change

Opeth - Patterns in the Ivy and Patterns in the Ivy II. The latter is so beautiful, could’ve easily been on BWP too imo

I’m a fairly social, enthusiastic person but have a lot of dysphoria around both my appearance and just being human in general

Techno is the obvious one for sure, like this excellent tune from one of the masters, Oscar Mulero: https://youtu.be/FAqfA6UEIVQ

My vote, I remember my dad playing me that and DsotM and I preferred the more psychedelic vibe for the former

Nonplussed and forbearance. Got the latter into a work email earlier, easily the highlight of my day

I do, but the other way as I’m getting old and can’t down them like I used to. Met up with a mate to watch the F1 in the pub garden on a sunny Sunday, just had a couple of halves as I still wanted to try a number of new drops

Though I completely understand using alcohol to loosen up a bit, for numerous social situations. Definitely used it more that way in my younger days, to varying degrees of success

With everything that’s happening over there rn, probably the US

I think I actually like it more for the memes than as a song at this point

Old U2 is actually pretty decent, I quite like The Unforgettable Fire

This isn’t the smallest you can go per se and isn’t a laptop but I’ve happily run PopOS on my Surface Pro 8 for over a year. You lose the front camera due to the proprietary blobs, and there’s some tweaking needed such as to get the keyboard working for LUKS decrypt but it’s pretty damn good for those tasks you mention. I read a lot of comics and RPG rule/corebooks and it’s perfect for that plus some light browsing and media consumption. Biggest downsides are the battery life which isn’t great compared to on Windows (around 5hrs or so, up to 7 with light usage) but that’s Linux for you, and ofc it’s more awkward to balance the folio keyboard on your lap. But for all that, it’s pretty convenient to take around plus you get the benefit of that bright, Surface Pro display
