Hello, I work in retail in Australia. The shopping malls I’m at all have “quiet time” for “people with sensory issues” every Tuesday morning from 9 to 11:30 am. It is as you described, and I agree with you.

Now I’m not sure where I stand on the spectrum but I’ve heard colleagues say they also prefer the quiet time, so, there you go. I just don’t understand the point of bombarding people with music all the time especially for Christmas.

Uuuhhhh… Literotica?

I never heard of this artist or album before, so far I’m 1/4 through the listening and digging it, thanks for posting

That’s a good unicorn. I think Daft Punk also had Human After All as another unicorn type, very industrial, very unique, often overlooked.

Yassss shattered yasssss

It’s not an amazing meme and I’m not sure I agree with it, but in my understanding it is trying to say that we, Lemmy users, are experienced and not naive unlike Reddit users.

You are probably right though

I’ve always been a fan of the prehistoric plants ( though if I’m being pedantic the vast majority of plants are prehistoric). Araucaria and Dicksonia are the best of the best!

I’ve been swiping right but nothing happens, help

The Prodigy - The Fat of The Land

It’s a one of a kind album. I don’t think the prodigy ever made another album that good. And I don’t think there is anything else out there similar to it. It has its own energy, it’s definitely a unicorn type.

Gee that brings me some flashbacks!

I looked this up and the music was great, but I found it too epic and/or expressive for what I was after. I guess that’s what art is about, right? I’m definitely keeping this in mind for something else, I was looking for something more mellow in this occasion. Thanks for the suggestion, I’m loving the answers so far

I searched this and hey some of the dungeon delving tracks were really good, thanks for the suggestion!

I haven’t played either game and both are on my list. I searched the witcher soundtrack and I think it’s really good, I was impressed. But I found the cave/dungeon/crypt music a bit too intense for what I was after. Great suggestion though

I haven’t searched BG2… I have hopes of playing the game soon.

I approve! Thanks

I gave it a shot, found some nice ones there, thanks for the suggestion :)

Finally I get the time to reply here! The aquatic ambience is cool, but overall I found them too high energy for what I was after. Thanks for the suggestion though, I’m loving the replies

Maybe not in the “smart mind challenging” category but there are plenty of craft kits for your budget: paint canvases by numbers, make your own accessories with clay, bead jewelry, basic engineering kits (build your own robot types), dig your own fossil kits, build-this-or-that-with-LEDlights, gardening kits for kids, etc.

My point is to expand your horizon a bit, it’s perfectly fine that you want to cater to her intelligence and not just go for something girly in a cliche sense. But she can also enjoy crafting stuff.

It’s just extremely difficult for me to hold a value in my head and perform an operation against another. I do understand the operations though, the concept is fine, the problem is that of numerical values. Numbers. I’m horrible with them. Always had problems remembering important historical dates, my own personal numbers (ids, age, etc). Because it’s such a struggle it becomes very tiring very quickly, and frustrating. That’s what’s hard.

I wouldn’t go back. You’ve been there for too long already. Nothing says you need to stick with the new place either. I would be looking for another job if possible, you have a solid decade of holding your previous job if you feel queasy about having a <1yr position in your resume. It’s understandable to not like a new position/company change, your previous role gives testament to your potential as a long term employee.

The dog with the hat makes me think of Michael Jackson for some reason
