  • Exactly. Good music never ever goes where you expect and should always suspend the listener in a delightful unease.

    I'm a non-musician that love jazz, fusion, prog, etc. What I need from music is human rhythm. I am revolted by Bach style mathematical fugues and so forth, they're different... not music in the way my mind and heart thinks of music.

  • Not everything is ADHD and I do not mean that as an insult or invalidation of you.

    Some people intuit that "spirit of adventure" means NOT planning every detail, worrying only about essentials, and rolling with the punches. The opposite of "spirit of adventure" is having controlling expectations, task lists, and arbitrary deadlines, over what is supposed to be a pleasurable day.

    I know that I am "wear bathing suit, toss towel in bag, head to beach, figure rest out" type of person. My pleasure of beach day is ruined by 2 days of pre-planning, a day of driving around for supplies, 2 hours of packing, carting coolers of shit to a spot we're now chained-to, and so forth.

    When planning the activity overwhelms the activity... maybe you're not the one with the issue.

  • Ah, another person who doesn't have a penis, who doesn't understand that when you sit down and compress everything and then stand up, piss goes everywhere.

    Shut up and never speak again on how men should urinate. Unless you're going to equally advocate that men have appropriate waste disposal tools in bathrooms, such as stand-up urinals.

  • There's lots of different approaches, but I've had the same problem.

    Steam lets you exclude tags, but they limit how many tags you can exclude so it's basically a useless feature.

    I go to steamDB and it has a ton of sorting options, including being able to exclude "Lovecraftian", "visual novel", "dating", etc

    There's also a great browser extension for Firefox which is my preferred browser. It enhances the Steam homepage (depending on how you configure it) and lets you do lots of things like quick-sell cards and other stuff.

  • Facebook was a wonderful tool for me for quite a while. It let me build a digital list of my irl "friends" and then I got watch over the years as they posted their most vile and ill-conceived innermost thoughts.

    An excellent tool for seeing what people really think and feel when they're not "performing" in social settings. Curiously people don't understand that public posts to a public SM site aren't anonymous but there's enough separation from the "real world" that lots of people forget that.

    Just sitting back and watching gave me a lot of insight as to how awful people really are when they "feel like" they aren't being watched.

  • It's hard for people to understand, but there was a time from the late 70's to early 80's where after a screen "transition" whatever came up next on the screen was called a "new page".

    So if you were playing Intellivision AD&D going in a dungeon from the overworld was a "new page". Or playing Karate Champ.... going from the Title Screen to the Fight Mechanics part was thought of as a "new page". Beating the first maze arrangement of Ms Pac Man would bring you to the next maze on "page 2".

  • The world is awash in morons and they aren't localized to that venue, although by way of it's very structure, it's a venue that strongly attracts people incapable of holding two thoughts at the same time.

    As G Carlin would have said, think how stupid the average person is and realize 50% are stupider than that. This is the world we live in - where the trivial thoughts emerging from society's dreck take have equal stage and prominence to expertise and wisdom

  • Take the numbers from the numbered boxes, and transpose them into the numbered boxes on the tax form. There, you know how to do taxes, what are we gonna do with the other 13 years of your pre-college education?
