Not exactly sure how they made it, but this sounds like "generative ambient" to me.

People make music that sounds similar to this using something called a "modular synthesizer" - its basically a big rack of individual synthesizers that each do one thing, and people plug them together to create "patches". Then, they run a wave generator through them to generate ambient music that doesn't actually require anyone to "play" anything during the piece.

60°F. Not raining, but misting.

This is why I live in the PNW.

Life is an endless prisoner's dilemma.

My IBS is acting up just looking at this picture.

This is because most East Asian languages actually don't conjugate their verbs at all!

In Chinese, for example, you always use the same exact verb, you just add extra sounds called "particles" to the sentence to contextualize what you're saying.

e.g. "I'm going to the store" in Chinese is 我(wǒ - 'I')去(qù - 'go')商店(shāng diàn - 'store'). I go store.

To say "I went to the store", you don't change "去/qù". Instead you still just say "I go store", but you add "了/le" to the end of the sentence. "Le" is a particle that means "to finish; to be completed".

So to say "I went to the store", you literally say "I go store (past particle)", and the listener knows that the statment "I go store" already happened and ended - past tense.

This is why native English speakers often think of this type of grammatical mistake when they think of common English mistakes that East Asian language native speakers make.

I jokingly said "1999 Honda Fit" so many times that now they call me asking about that fictional car.

Your question implies the answer is black and white, but its not. Its very complicated and uncertain and we've got to take a nuanced view of things.

Obviously it's not gonna sway anyone who's gonna vote for him

Its not this black and white. According to a poll: "only 4% of Trump’s supporters said they would withdraw their backing if he’s convicted of a felony, though another 16% said they would reconsider it." https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/6-months-out-tight-presidential-race-trump-biden-poll/story?id=109909175

This may or may not affect things - depends on how it plays out and where since swing districts usually decide preseidential electons.

is there any actual way this keeps him from office

There's multiple ways it could influence things beyond just changing voting decisions. It could lead to the campaign spending more money on legal fees for appeal and therefore less on ads, campaign rallies etc. It could also have the opposite effect of firing up Trump's base and leading to more donations, more votes and potentially political violence.

Its a situation that's never happened before, and its very complicated and uncertain. Anyone who says they have the answer is trying to sell you the fantasy of certainty in an uncertain world.

Lemmy has its own version of that with self declared "leftists"

un chat.

Sports. I've tried to care many times, but its just so boring and pointless.

I had a similar experience. I was maybe 17, driving alone at night to choir practice. Stopped at a red light on an empty street and a guy walked straight up to my car and tried to open the passenger door. It was locked and thankfully the light turned green a second later. I peeled out.

Human beings are FUCKED.

Drawing. I tried so hard in school, practiced regularly, and never got better. I'm in my 30s now and my DND group still makes fun of me when I draw anything other than walls on the wet erase mat.

A if I know the vocabulary. B if I don't.

Its all about the audience.

I did on Friday and within 5 mins they suspended me and reverted them all. I knew they would so I didn't care - I just did it so they'd see as many unhappy users as possible.

I then deleted my account of over 10 years with over 50k reputation. Fuck stackoverflow.

Probably depends where you live. In a big city I don't think anyone would bat an eye, but in a small town in rural nowhere people would probably get upset right away.

Great. I got downvoted for pointing out the fucking rules which you're breaking. Enjoy your dumb fucking rage bait debate that goes nowhere. If you hate California and Democrats then move to Texas and freeze to death with the rest of the republicans.

Rule #2 - Not offensive: at this point, we do not have the bandwidth to moderate overtly political discussions.
