I can’t wait for Apple to reveal a desk, with a keyboard built-in underneath the back side of it.

… How did you get rid of the wasps? Or is it a ‘they live here now, Bob’s the king of section 3-b’ sort of thing?

I very much enjoyed reading this, thank you.

215 so far. Just a lot of doom posting, or politics.

Children of Men.

Whenever another guy recommends something I find repulsive, for various reasons, I tend to write off most respect I had for that person.
Lately some guys have talked positively about Andrew Tate, and it’s just made it easier for me to know who is a gullible prick and who to avoid.

Every day I am trying my hardest, to not give into a temptation and eat my own body weight in puffed cheese balls.
This has nothing to do with the post, however you did ask.

How Can Capital Letters Be Real If Our Eyes Aren’t Real???

Decade half last the since not?
Darn you Redditors and your code speak!!

OH! Sorry I completely misunderstood, I love that question.

Various ways. Sometimes I go to record shops, and go through the vinyls until I find something with a cool name or other arbitrary metric I’ve come up with to choose an album. This is how, many years ago, I found Foxboro Hot Tubs -i literally picked it up and thought, “well this sounds like it may be a funky band!” Then realised immediately that the lead singer sounded a lot like Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong but singing entirely different styles. Turns out it was a side band of theirs!!

Other times I always keep Shazam handy when I’m outside, going for walks, meeting with people, going somewhere to eat, etc. in this way I’ve realised a lot of other people have very cool tastes so when I hear something I like, I literally pull out Shazam on my phone and see if it can figure it out.
For the moments it doesn’t work, I usually find someone to ask. Doesn’t always work though.

Other times I’m just going through each playlist on streaming services, like YouTube Music, and just skipping until I find something I like and then add it to a list.
I listen to various genres, however there are a lot of sub-genres alongside occasional fusions I would miss out on if I only go with the tunes I know, so I’m keen to just randomise the genres rather than focus on one solely. Cypress Hill is a good example, since there are a good number of tracks they did with a rock vibe, or that Korn track they did with Ice Cube. Many times I’m playing songs for the vibe I’m in at the time, so it literally can flip from Suidakra to Taylor Swift depending on my hectic mind haha.

Hope that answers your query.

Most of my tracks have been collected over time, through various different methods. Most recently I’ve been buying digital copies of albums I like when streamed (usually YouTube Music provides a nice way to sample them this way).

However some artists spend their entire careers trying to remove a rib, yet their music sounds good so I usually Torrent those.

I’m a bit busy to post about the transition myself, though I’ll definitely upvote yours when I see it in the feed :)

I like that some apps provide different things, like Tempo straight away gave me a page where I could select by genre and so on. It’s great having this freedom.

Last week I set up Navidrome on my PC, and connect to it with an app (Tempo) on my phone.

It’s like having my own Spotify. Snappier too.

There’s quite a few you’d find with a search, phrases in general, however one example out of many is the simple phrase: cakewalk, or ‘taking the cake’. The phrase has origins as a sort of dance African slaves would perform in order to win a prize of a cake.

Here’s a source I found on it, which is short, however there is a longer Wikipedia entry about too: https://birminghamhistoricalsociety.com/2023/02/06/history-of-the-cake-walk/

Edit: I’m sorry I remembered this is about sexual stereotypes. I’m way too high since I went down a rabbit hole and can’t decide on a source. Sorry lmao.

Which one? There are various different stereotypes, and many have roots in some rather shameful aspects of History (e.g.: treatment of slaves). I understand the down votes on this question, however I do suggest people research various stereotypes revolving around ‘black’ men and women. I personally found it rather shocking to discover how many terms, which are used for a general prejudice of all people, originated through harsh exercise of bigotry.

I had a dream once that a pimp was in charge of alteration surgeries, and trans people walked in and he would go “FO’ YOUZ I GIVE MA BOTTOM SURGERY, SHE DA BEST SURGERY, MY MAIN SURGERY” and he was the best doctor in town for it.

That’s a lovely way to see it. Thanks for the kind words.

I believe that ethos is along the lines of the meaning behind a semi-colon tattoo. As far as ‘trend tattoos’ go, I do like the idea of it.

Same, I’m getting there. I’ve been using the steam room at my gym, since the steam forces me to regulate my breathing. It’s a crutch but it has worked wonders for my mind.

They were bought by Comcast a number of years ago, so they’re actually worse than before if you can believe it.
