  • What are some small, everyday ways to become a kinder person?

    Jump

  • I was taught 3 seconds in the city, 7 seconds on the highway. Always better to be extra safe.

  • What’s one rule/phrase that you live by?

    Jump

  • My cousin has a similar one, but it’s “try anything twice”. Often times your first experience in something may be rough but the second go around can be significantly better. Or in the case of food, sometimes the first time you tried it was from someone who didn’t know how to do the dish justice, or bad ingredients put into it.

  • Some even crave the spice

  • A reminder

  • The general rule of thumb with beats is the first beat is always down and the last beat is up, and right before up is to go to out. So 4/4 would be down, in, out, up. 3/4 would be down, out, up. 2/4 would be down and out in one swing, up. 7/4 would be down, in, in, in, in, out, up. These are not usually strictly followed, but it’s a general guideline.

  • Reminds me a bit of my void.

  • What's your favorite song lyric?

    Jump

  • Easily one of my favourite PF songs. Which is saying something because I have a lot of favourites from them but that one stands out.

  • What's your favorite song lyric?

    Jump

  • I don’t have a single favourite, but a few recent favourites, from my current favourite artist, Jesse Welles:

    “I still don’t know what living costs, but I can tell you what I spent”

    “A bird in its cage loves the song that it sings”

    “As the golden rod fades and short are the days, I wish I could pause ‘em somehow”

    “I can see a light at the end of the tunnel, then again it could be the train”

    He’s got a ton of great political lyrics too but I felt that would be better in a different comment or post. Check him out, especially his two newest albums (Masks Off and Devil’s Den).

  • What are foods that a lot of people dislike but you like?

    Jump

  • I like cold pizza, but I’d still prefer it slightly heated to room temperature. Can’t say I’ve tried the other one, though.

  • What are foods that a lot of people dislike but you like?

    Jump

  • If by cold food you mean room temperature food then I definitely agree. Doesn’t bother me in the least. But if you mean fridge cold, most times I’ll want to heat it at least to room temperature first.

  • We made it

    Jump

  • “Twin” is slang for “friend”, and that grammar is very common in the types of conversations that use twin in that way. This is pretty typical conversation among ~20 year olds.

  • How true is this?

    Jump

  • Beautiful idiot (left), terrifying demon (right)

  • Suppose the last movie you saw and the last videogame you played had a crossover. What would that world look like?

    Jump

  • 2001: A Space Odyssey and HITMAN: World of Assassination. Well HITMAN already has a 2001 reference so I suppose it only makes sense, but I guess ICA contracts in outer space? Might be pretty interesting, or might be Moonraker: The Game/Movie depending on how they handle it. I’d definitely play/watch it though.

  • Matter of Taste

    Jump

  • You can get a small electric kettle for less than $20 that boils water extremely efficiently every time. Just add water, flick a switch, then it’ll click off when it’s done. Probably the easiest thing in the world and uses the least amount of energy. Plus depending on your glassware/vessel, you run a risk of the glass breaking when you microwave it. I’m not sure how likely it is, but I know it’s a possibility.

    Not trying to convince you to switch, just pointing out the reasons for using a kettle. Do whatever works for you.

  • You make $65,000 (USD 🤢) in a dead end career...

    Jump

  • I get 2 per year so 36 would feel like unlimited.

  • Oh yes, I will wait for my kids to born and play GTA 6

    Jump

  • didn't think so

    Jump

  • Your second point was where my mind immediately went. I have never used AI at work and have no way to use AI at work even if I wanted to, because I don’t use a computer for work. Even if I was a massive AI supporter, I’d still see exactly zero difference at work.

  • What historical concert do you wish you could attend?

    Jump

  • The first time Bob Dylan brought out an electric guitar would be cool to be a part of, if nothing more than to see everyone freaking out (mostly booing and throwing stuff on stage, I believe).

    Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, if I don’t have to be a prisoner there. Maybe I can be a guard or something for a day.

    The first show of Pink Floyd’s original The Wall tour.

    Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam MTV Unplugged (any of them).

    Not really historical yet but any and every Jesse Welles concert I’ve missed so far. I’ve only seen him once so far and regret missing his first show close to me but plan to see him every time he comes nearby going forward, so long as I can afford it. Thankfully he’s not big enough yet for super expensive tickets, when I saw him the tickets were for a very reasonable price. It would be nice if he could go to some smaller cities or towns close by though, I hate big cities.

    For classical, I’d absolutely love to see Horowitz performing Rachmaninoff’s 3rd piano concerto (Op. 30) with LSO/Coates in 1930. It’s my favourite recording of my favourite classical piece of music, but the audio quality is awful. Rachmaninoff was actually a friend of Horowitz and attended the show, and said that performance was the closest he had heard to what he had in his head when writing the piece. It was even closer to his original idea than what Rachmaninoff himself had done, and I believe Rachmaninoff stopped playing it live afterward, saying it had already been perfected and gave Horowitz his personal blessing to perform it on his behalf (not that he needed permission, but it was more symbolic than anything).

  • The offer to pay more for the same finally pushed me to cancel Apple Music. What is a good alternative that's not loaded with ads?

  • While I don’t disagree with your comment, this part:

    and a robust used market. That doesn’t exist anymore

    isn’t as bad as you might think, at least where I live. Used CD sales are the highest they’ve been in over 20 years. Sure, it’s not like it was at its peak, but it’s coming back in style again. The rest of your comment is definitely true though.
