Finished True Detective season 1. Can't recommend it enough, although I won't watch the rest of the series as I feel there's not much more the show can provide and their reputation is low. Starting The Wire now

Play guitar since like 12, not very good. But got pretty good at the electric bass in my teens, even got in a band

No ads, apparently no bots, no reddit-style comments like "This.", no corporation involved

Running the service itself over Tor is the only way to prevent local governments knocking on the admin's door, though

Dogs are a hobby I would love to have but can't. I would be able to care for a cat, though, but even then I'm allergic as hell and would probably die. I'm sticking to naming the jumping spiders that briefly take residence in my living room

Hard agree. Decentralization itself doesn't really work against censorship, you need an additional layer of privacy, or, more ideally, anonymity. Is there a way of running a lemmy instance over Tor?

Epic poem Os Lusíadas by great Portuguese writer Luís Vaz de Camões, about the travels of Vasco da Gama

Huh, maybe that is a clue to why I found the show insufferable despite my enjoyment of similar series. Everything is just too fast

Marinating the hearts with limes and herbs is super good, too.
Yeah, feet turn a lot of people off because of the dirtiness and how messy they are to eat. Here's more info: they are basically pure gelatinous skin with some juicy tendons, you eat them with your hands (at least in my family) to really get in there, and they taste however the broth as a whole tastes (I can't imagine having them roasted)

Dobradinha: Brazilian caipira stewed beef intestines with beans. Really goes all the way with emphasizing the jelly texture
Chicken hearts: we eat them by the dozen but IME gringos don't like them much
Chicken feet: love them plain caipira style but dim sum style is even better, especially the more spicy ones

AFAIK the algorithm for Kagi is really alien compared to Google and Bing/DDG, so the results do look a little weird at first, the main difference being just the sheer reduction in quantity of results.
But I guess if you didn't like it, you didn't. Maybe it is worse and I'm biased because I already paid

I know immigrants aren't the issue, I'm not saying they are, I'm saying the host countries should fix their issues without relying on them. I'm not anti immigration, I'm just pro natalism, substituting locals for immigrants won't work
