Dang. I just can't choose. I would like to communicate with so many.

'Dogs' is a tempting response, but I feel like I'd be disappointed and a little disturbed by how slavish we've made them. Cats... would probably tell you to fuck off and stop bothering them.

Octopodes and whales I think would make for a very interesting conversation. The octopus is, imo, the closest thing we have to an alien on earth. Iirc their intelligence developed on a completely different pathway to mammals; imo if they didn't die so quickly they'd be as likely to have become dominant as us smart apes.

A conversation with a virus would be very boring imo. They don't have a mind, would probably just repeat "REPRODUCTION INEVITABLE, RESISTANCE FUTILE" over and over.

tap... tap... tap... what's that sound approaching?

Just me peg leg, matey

Yup. Just chucked it into google image search.

TBH I'm not against reposting content from reddit, we need more content here... content is content. I would prefer if people were more clear that they're not the OP though!

Never too late. Rote memorisation becomes more difficult as we age, but it's not impossible. I've been learning one of the more difficult languages (Finnish) in my 40s for about 300 days now, and I am making progress.

Look into 'active learning', it's far more effective than apps like DuoLingo (which I use heavily, it does have its place)

Got to love the anonymity of the internet ey!

Good advice which I read in Keith's snarl

I experienced it once. Was already on SSRI, took a 5HTP cap, forgot I had taken it, took another.

I ended up on the floor of my bedroom... made it about 2 steps towards the bathroom. Was a very bizarre sensation, I distinctly remember for about what I assume was 10 mins, I didn't know what I was let alone who I was; utter confusion. Then I made an inexplicably-neat little puddle of puke next to my face (good job I was on my front as I was completely immobile) and shat myself, I remember hearing an ambulance go past and thinking "I need one of those". Then just an insane amount of heat feeling like it was radiating off me.

I hope someone can learn from my fail!

Whatever app you're using, check the shortcuts list and see if there's one for incremental save... it may just save you from losing many hours of work one day! Once your brain gets over the hump of adjusting the ctrl+s reflex, of course :)

Once after a particularly long and gruelling session, I tried to ctrl+shift+s a film I was watching haha.

That's him! Mark Heap. If you liked this video (a bit of a crime that I could only find it in such low qual, his facial expressions are amazing), consider checking out a show called Green Wing. He's sort-of a main character and very, very ridiculous in it. It's a 'hospital show' but don't let that put you off, it's just the setting, the scenes are all pretty bizarre.

This is not true. Artists who don't make much money on spotify are either under very poor terms with their label / publisher, or simply aren't generating many streams.

For example, in my main genre trance, upper-B to lower-A artists can expect to make ~600 euros per release, minimum if it's on a decent label, assuming it's promoted properly and reaches the right playlists. It takes me 3-4 days to finish a track (to a high standard). That's a pretty good return on investment imo.

Obv the caveat is that if you don't do very well with promo, or are on a label that doesn't understand how to leverage playlists, then yeah you're not going to make much.

Legend has it, Charlie Kirk has a painting of his face in his attic. Everytime he releases a shitty hot take video, his own face shrinks, while the one in the painting grows larger.

That thing must take up the whole attic by now

Exactly. When you see someone whingeing about how little they earned from x amount of streams, go look up what spotify pays per stream, do the maths, it never adds up.

It's because they signed a shitty publishing / label deal. I've got plenty of music on spotify and tbh have earned more in royalties from streams than I ever did via labels in this day and age (though there was a 'golden age' where digital downloads paid very well, assuming the label manager wasn't on the fiddle). Spotify could prob pay a little more per stream at this point though.

Nothing to add, just wanted to say @Rocky60@lemm.ee this is an excellent post!

This is true. You will no longer be doing any sneaky farts when you lose nature's muffler.

As someone cursed with bum hair, I want to do this. I just cringe at the idea of a shaving cut on my rusty sheriff badge. Did it once and the growback was deeply uncomfortable too.

I bought a Meridian body trimmer a few months back and still haven't raised the courage to use it on intimate areas as it's intended for, ptsd after nicks from my other shaver.

YES. My friend recommended I do this years ago and I genuinely thought he was fucking with me; that on the first bite he'd wet himself laughing and say "gotcha". Turns out he was right, the skin is high in fibre and a perfect tart complement to the sweetness of the fruit.

Iirc that thing is called a frenulum.

I totally get where you're coming from. Try to remind yourself that:

a) life is fleeting. We're only here for a brief moment, so why let lack of confidence stop us from doing what we want to do?

b) if anyone judges you for your fashion then they're a sad cunt and their opinion is therefore meaningless

:)

Mine is ctrl+shift+s, because it saves an incremental version. This way, if the client says "Actually I preferred the bassline an hour ago, can we go back?" I can say "sure, no problem!".

It also protects in case the file is corrupted. I know so many people who just save over the same file and it always amazes me.

Yeah, the common phrase that "talking to yourself is the first sign of madness" has been drummed into many of us... of course if you're experiencing auditory halucinations and replying to them, that's bad. But it's actually perfectly fine to talk to yourself out loud.
