Seeing as how pirate poses himself as a very knowledgeable guy who’s valued info should help get you into the industry, yes. That makes it hilarious, in fact.

Yes, you are wrong.

Source; I’m interested, not a citizen of India. Language and the role it plays in culture is just interesting to me.

I’ve heard of people running it as a side gig. Shady advertising companies will buy your reddit account, the more history the better. I have no idea the price range but I can’t imagine it’s much, because the entire process can be automated at this point.

I remember one time in 2015… oh man. I was on skype with my gf at the time, she told me in no uncertain terms to stop using internet phrases, and I, completely reflexively, said “Challenge Accepted!” She almost laughed, and true to her word, hung up immediately. She called me back in a few minutes, but my friend witnessed it, gave me no end of shit about it for years.

Good times.

Edit: wow I forgot there was a point to that story. I always try to make my comments an actual contribution. Point is, I don’t talk like that anymore. But I really did back then. Same with the friends that I’ve kept. I do think that traditional internet culture used to be more separate from pop culture, but now cultural tropes/memes make a big venn diagram.

I think so, came to say Koi fish specifically? Perhaps?

Fwiw, my mom had a similar debate and decided classical music instead. Came from some company called baby beethoven. So I’m biased but I think music is probably best. Words won’t really be understood anyway just tones. No angry sounds around baby.

Some of them do. There are more than a few christian billionaires. But let’s forget them and talk about the likes of muskrat and bozo. They should know better. But they have an egotistical belief that they will rise as leaders from the flames, of the unwashed masses. Apocalypse society is the peak of a psychopath’s power fantasy. Rewrite the laws of the land in your own image and all that jazz.

Edit for an afterthought: it’s much easier to control smaller groups of people. 8 billion people is a lot of bodies and free will. But 8 million, 800,000, now that’s a lot more manageable.

Agreed, for the features included the premium is genuinely worth it. Much better company to give money to than spotify.

The UI has lagged behind a bit but there are firefox and chrome extensions to improve/customize the web experience to a pretty decent extent. I do wish they could get their shit together with the placement of stations on mobile. Still as you said it consistently finds new music. When I try to look at a song’s “radio” on spotify, it gets me angry 0-100 real quick. Why? Well I ran a small experiment.

I started by going to a song radio playlist. From there, go to the radio playlist of the first song. Now add every one of those songs to another playlist. Back up, go to the next song radio, repeat while excluding duplicates, for 10 songs.

Each of the radio stations had about 180 songs. So the final playlist would hopefully have in the neighborhood of 500, accounting for duplicate overlap. But how many songs did I actually end up with? 195. The recommendation algo is not designed for discovery it’s designed for comfort and familiarity at every angle. And i hate it.

Sorry this turned into a spotify rant aha I just needed to share that experiment after seeing my own results.

There’s a bulk food store near me that has a grinder/hopper for the freshest ground peanuts you can get (also pretty cheap), I definitely prefer that style and wish at least some of the store options here were more like that. Skippy for instance is fine for what it is, but it’s honestly closer to some sort of frosting than peanut butter. The term ‘peanut’ is doing heavy lifting in the name.

Apricots on PB&J sounds wonderful, I’m particularly fond of pear slices when apricot jam is used. Haven’t actually tried apricot slices yet though.

It’s actually much worse. This comic implies that orange realizes/accepts their own mortality. It should be

[orange, adding fuel to the fire, from higher up]

You’ll be dead and I’ll be chilling in heaven with Jesus Christ when he fixes everything. Triggered, liberal?

They want the apocalypse. They want it to burn. They want us all to die. There are many people like this - most of them are quiet. It’s insidious.

We must stop accelerationism.

I’ll do you one better and share my preference of raspberry jelly which is superior above all, imo. Not a fan of grapes myself. Strawberry can be nice, but some of the jam products can be underprocessed in a way that creates a slimy unpleasant texture… never a problem with raspberry jelly. Boysenberry is also pretty great. Get out there and discover!

I browse lemmy exclusively, as a result of distaste for corporatization. Personally I have no reason to leave and I doubt I will anytime soon. I don’t have any particular niches that I’m a part of, so the only thing that would cause me to leave is if the feed dried up. I usually open lemmy in the morning and scroll All - top 12h. I get an hour or so of scrolling before I reach posts with sub-10 votes. And that’s all I really need. I’ll be here until I can’t do that anymore.

That’s why I specifically try to avoid saying that, and instead say “important question”. Almost always interchangeable, gets the point across, and you don’t sound like a subservient AI.

Immediately kill myself as quick as possible. That’s genuinely one of my worst fears is being entered by a bug. I have an obsessive habit of wiping the inside/underneath the lip of the toilet every time I use it just in case there could be a spider. There has never been a spider. Yet I’m compelled to do it every single time.

How is this chubby, are you actually blind? Her stomach is flat dude.

I haven’t seen anyone mention Pandora but it’s still around. I kept using it even when I was paying for spotify. Over and over again Pandora has played new (to me) artists that have really caught my ear. I listen to a lot of different things and it’s been responsible for probably 50% over the last 15 years that I’ve been using it. The ads are less invasive than spotify and can be easily removed with uBlock origin in the web player. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

I love consuming content!

Set a timer for hydration. You will forget towards the end of it. All the things your body does automatically will become less effective. Like obviously your fuse will be shorter. But you’ll feel more hungry with less warning, for instance. Satisfying that in a way that might normally make you a bit tired could be enough to make you crash out. But you need to keep eating or you’ll feel like starved hell. Keep it light/snackish. Also try to avoid extra stimulation. If you need stimulation to stay awake keep it minimal as you can.

Additionally, recognize the point of damage. If you’re finding yourself taking completely unintentional ‘microsleeps’ (passing out for 15-120 seconds) that’s your brain screaming for mercy and you should take rest if it’s even remotely possible, and results get truly unpredictable past that point in regards to emotional/mental stability.

Hope that helps, here to answer if you want clarification on anything there

Same, and just like this tweet. I genuinely can’t be sure if it’s real or not, at first sight.
