Bands that sound like AJJ plus Electric Guitar and drums?

Are there any? I really like the songs of AJJ, it sounds like the embodiment of old school American folk (i.e. Woody Guthrie, Phil Ochs) + punk, but I just can't find that kind of sound with the ripping acoustic guitar (or is it a banjo?) as well as the Electric Guitar and drums.

I want to attain a deep understanding of the quran through a theologically lenient perspective.

Where do I start? What sources should I use. I'd rather not focus on one sect/scholar.

Edit: I'd like to clarify "theologically lenient", I meant an open minded perspective.

Is a wali necessary for marriage?

I've heard that for marriage you need

- 2 consenting adults

- 2 witnesses

- a wali

But is it possible to have a halal marriage without a wali?

What if two people want to perform nikah but the bride is at risk when telling a wali?

I believe that having a relationship with the opposite gender should be based off consent and a love for god. One should not be tied down by family members. If you do not agree with my standpoint and believe that a wali is needed for marriage, please explain your point of view.

YouTube Shorts is absolutely terrible.

I genuinely have trouble scrolling on there; YouTube Shorts has downgraded and degenerated into a cash cow. I'm currently writing this while my little sister scrolling in the background (pre-teen age, not a toddler), and oh my god is it insufferable. It all just AI narrating and movie clips with loud fast background music.

I wont be the one to say "oh screen no good for kid" or "attention span neurobabble under 25 subhuman incapable of thought" but DAMN, I "attempt" to go on there and in a span of 30 minutes it all degenerates into movie narrations and movie narrations and ai slop.

I feel as if YouTube Shorts is a degeneration and a SLANDERING of what YouTube is supposed to be, are we not going to talk about the predatory business practices and the algorithm?

I am sorry for ranting about YouTube Shorts, maybe I am getting to the ripe old age where I complain about "todays technology", but I genuinely think that the world would be better off without YouTube Shorts, or any kind of scrolling technology.

What makes "Landlording" different from renting out things like DVD's or equipment?

Yes, I do acknowledge that there are some very predatory and straight up evil things that a landlord can do, but some landlords can give reasonable rent. From an anarchist perspective, is it possible that there can there be a "good landlord"?

From my point of view, rent and landlording exist because of an uneven spreading of distribution of resources/money. Their only inherently bad trait is them hoarding the properties, everything else can be changed or bargained with. Is this the correct view?

Diy Sparklers.

Hiya, I'm interested in making some Sparklers mostly for my own amusement.

Is it possible for me to make one cheaply with simple store bought materials?

(Or just affordably with materials that I can easily get)

And how?

Many thanks!

I can't find any info on Osip Tsebriy's activities during ww2.

I've lately been hearing a lot about the Makhnovschina and (from what I've heard), Osip Tsebriy was one of the few people that tried to re-establish the anarchist movement during ww2. Unfortunately I can't find much sources on how his partisan group did in ww2 or anything outside of what wikipedia says about him.

Why is youth liberation important?

Imagine that you are answering a 56-year-old who is open minded, but has never heard of the concept. I am currently writing an argumentative essay supporting Youth Liberation.

For those who answered, many thanks in advanced!

I've heard of people saying that you can just consider you and your partner married if there really is no other choice.

But that sounds like nikah mut'ah so there must be some kind of threshold or boundary.

So what is the ruling here from a progressive Islamic stance.

What is marriage and what are the requirements for one from a modern perspective?
