Sure. There's a rather vibrant writers' community, plenty of visual artists (including photography that isn't just cats and hiking), and the endless political shit.

You don't get as much of the random people running their mouths though.

The key to Mastodon is the # curation over time. Search your interests, use the hashtags to set up your feed, and only use the full federated feed to find terms you didn't think to search for, or that aren't obviously connected to your interests.

As an example, if you're a writer, you'll obviously follow something lunge #writing, but you might not find #pennedpossibilities, or #writerscoffeeclub by searching, despite them being active prompt based groups that end up having a lot of good interactions between writers (casual, amateurs, and pros).

Tbh, the least represented segment is the typically nerdy stuff. Much more prevalent on lemmy. There's plenty there, it just isn't as common as other segments.

Some of us write books too :)

Fwiw, and I don't know if it was intentional or not, it's embarrassed and wielder, not imbarrest or wilder.

It's kinda weird to wait until the last minute to ask if someone else can come along on a planned outing.

But the rest? I dunno. Looks like a pretty standard mixup.

Dude, I am happy as hell for you that it took this long to experience one.

Instrumental metal is what you'd search to get where you want to be. There's plenty of bands that don't have vocals at all, and even more that do instrumental tracks here and there.

Thing is, you'll run into a pretty broad range of styles under that heading since a lot of sub genres are defined by vocals and/or lyrical content. But instrumental is a sub genre of its own. It just gets defined by the lack of vocals rather than any distinct sound like the way thrash is going to have that "thrashy" vibe.

Edit: Animals as Leaders is pretty much the go to recommendation for instrumental metal. They run closer to prog than death, but so do most instrument only bands.

Nothing new to add, but since crowd sourcing answers is more reliable when you have more of them, I figure it's worth it.

As everyone before this said, it isn't a perfect compatibility, so you can't just grab any random kit and be certain it'll be 100% right. But, there's a decent chance it will be, or that you can improvise things enough to get it to work long enough to get the exact right bits.

Biggest problem I've run into over the years is flappers not making a good seal, and the pipe not fitting well. The flapper is harder to deal with, but the pipe can usually be made to work with a gasket cut to size, long enough to get a better one at convenience rather than having to run right back out.

Jfc, that's where I got mine!

Look, I'm not saying I wouldn't make sweet, sweaty man love with the chief, I'm just saying that he's not the kind of eye candy the rest are.

Legit, Takei and Bakula win the pec contest. But Nimoy coming in a damn close second place. I always forget how fit he was; better than Shatner overall.

Takei though, damn. Dude was fucking ripped.

That being said, both Bakula and Stewart were a good bit older than the rest at the time those pics were taken, so mad respect for the work they put in.

If this holds up, then mint users are rocking a thirty year old one cup drip machine that only has one button, and only makes one regular mug at a time.

Well, I can say this much: never discuss your philosophy on life and death with your doctor, because you'll need to find another doctor after they flip their shit and assume you're going to off yourself.
