This sounds a lot like the Universal Blue distros. They even have homebrew installed by default. If you're already using Fedora it would be a pretty easy transition.
I live in a part of the world that doesn't usually celebrate Halloween much, but last year our street made an effort. It seems people noticed because this year someone decided to hold a themed market here, and there was a big turnout. I think it's becoming a thing for the town now.
My neighbour is getting seriously into 3D printing and made lots of cool toys that he gave away instead of food. That was cool to see, because he's been struggling a bit since his wife died, and he was never very community-oriented, but having something like this brought out his good side.
I reused a wizard costume from a fantasy fair earlier this year. Hung a pumpkin full of treats from the end of my staff, and rode around on my electric unicycle for a bit, giving them away. Any bit of novelty is valid if it's in the right spirit. That's what I like about Halloween.
You can't really go wrong if you wear something that works for you. High or low effort, it's all good.
I thought metal was more popular than ever. Maybe my perception is skewed because I've been going to plenty of metal festivals in recent years, but all the subgenres have representation from what I can see.
Can you imagine if MS did say something, and Trump immediately decided to replace all their products in government with Apple alternatives? You know he would.
All the Sleep Token fans I know are pretty old, but that might just be because all the younger music fans I know are more in the rave scene.
Since OP made a comparison to Ghost, I did notice at the last show of theirs I attended, the crowd was very diverse. I saw kids and seniors alike.
Maybe part of the popularity of these bands is that they operate outside the traditional boundaries, so they're more likely to have cross-generational appeal. That helps boost popularity overall. We're in an era now where music is less defined by generations than in the past. As a kid I was mostly exposed to what my peers were listening to, but now I can access everything. It's getting much harder to pigeon-hole fandoms.
That soy filler is the bane of my existence. I'm intolerant to legumes, and I'm pretty sure soy additives are the reason almost all manufactured foods affect me. In theory, I should be able to eat bread, but it's very rare to find any that doesn't include soy.
I'm pretty sure all my "gluten free" family are actually reacting to the soy too.
You know your stuff for someone who hasn't partaken.
I've done ayahuasca but not regular old DMT. Those are the main points I would have suggested.
Adding to that, allow plenty of time to process the experience after the trip has ended. I journaled it, which helped make sense of it all, especially parts that felt disconnected from normal perceptions.
Music you vibe with will help too. Some of the music that accompanied my experience was a bit overwhelming and magnified parts that I didn't enjoy. I had to take myself outside to ground again (if you can call communing with the stars grounding).
I know in Melbourne at least, trams collide with cars pretty frequently. For some reason people think it's a good idea to u-turn when they're approaching. The trams rarely seem to be damaged. It's not fun for passengers though.
Maybe the next World Tram Championships should add an event: the Car Toss. That would help people visualise the consequences of leaving vehicles too close to tracks.
Content is shared with all other bags of communal holding in existence. Sometimes retrieving objects involves awkward hand contact if someone else is using their bag at the same time.
The trailer for season 4 just released was the nail in the coffin. Liam Hemsworth is doing his best, but there's no way Henry Cavill would have uttered the line, "Let's fuckin' move." The writing is so bad he couldn't save it.
This sounds a lot like the Universal Blue distros. They even have homebrew installed by default. If you're already using Fedora it would be a pretty easy transition.
