Vupperware, in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?
@Vupperware@lemmy.world avatar

When camping, late at night, a buddy told another one of my buddies:

“If you can see my face, I can’t see anything”.

I thought it was hilarious and concise and it still sticks with me. If your flashlight is illuminating someone’s face, they are being blinded!

bob_lemon,

This extends to all kinds of directional light sources, notably headlights on cars and bicycles.

Viking_Hippie, in What movie scared you shitless when you were a child?

For me it was Poltergeist 2. That really scared the shit out of 9yo me 😂

Ghostc1212, in What genres of music do Lemmites enjoy?

listen to electric callboy

CarlsIII, in What's something you'd change in men's fashion, given the chance?

Bye bye ties!

GentlemenPreferBongs,

They literally look sloppy unless they feel a bit too tight. At least on me. I aim for about a 15% reduction in blood flow to my brain; then I know I’m looking sharp.

I can’t remember the last time I wore a tie (oh, probably my brother’s wedding). Don’t bother for interviews or funerals now.

watson387, in Does anyone else struggle with silence, particularly when trying to sleep?
@watson387@sopuli.xyz avatar

I have tinnitus, so absolute silence is never enjoyable for me. Music works extremely well; I fall asleep with the tv on.

LachlanUnchained,

I Think I might too. Need to get checked. Always a low humming. Sometimes high pitch ringing. But I meant more of not being able to settle my mind.

Well, I have ADHD so I can identify with that also. lol

When I read the title of the post, I immediately wondered if anybody else with tinnitus had commented yet.

“Silence” sounds amazing, would love to try it some time 😅

jocanib,

Put your hands over your ears and drum your fingers on the back of your head for 20-30 seconds.

It doesn’t last for long but (if it works for you), blissful silence.

AlexWIWA,

I’ve been using a fan. It almost entirely hides the ringing

Metal, the anime of music. Currently in a stoner and sludge phase.

Yerbouti, in What video game have you played the most, that you think is garbage and no one else should ever play?

I’ve spent way too much hours in Fall Out 3 and NV. I love those games but I would glady take back a few dozens hours,

ProfezzorDarke,

So you name them because they’re garbage?

Yerbouti,

You’re a chicken Michael

Gleddified, in What password manager do you recommend?

I don’t want to self host

IMO Keepass is not for you then. Bitwarden all day

Candid_Technology_66,

But you can sync your database across devices using Syncthing or a cloud storage like MEGA.

Magnetar,

Keepass + Syncthing is great, works also on phones.

Hiru, in Is it normal for a person to "feel" less as they get older?
@Hiru@lemmy.world avatar

Man, I don’t know, but this post was beautifully crafted, you sir are a poet.

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.

fubo, in So, how does the fediverse work?

If you’re up for reading Internet standards documents, start here with the official standard for ActivityPub, the protocol that it’s all built on.

Nobug404, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

Your carries never gives it to you cheap. At best they sell you it at cost. More likely they sell it to you at MSRP. the cost is wrapped up in your monthly, and they hope people are too stupid or lazy to notice.

palantus,

Never say never. After buying my OnePlus 9 pro, my carrier transferred the money to me instead of from me. Realizing the mistake, they immediately transfered it back again, but that only resulted in a 0 and thus I never actually paid for the phone :)

In most other cases you are right though.

simonced, in What genres of music do Lemmites enjoy?

I am mostly listening to melodic death metal.

But since I discovered Lorna Shore, I enjoy more extreme genres as well, and I am getting my feet wet with deathcore.

girl,

I like the idea of melodic death metal, got any suggestions?

simonced,

Very good question!

I have a list of the metal I like, here is a link:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/…/edit#gid=0

From there, my pick would be:

  • Aephenemer
  • Aether Realm (quite progressive, very unique)
  • Kalmah (basically all is good in it)
  • Nothgard (OMG, they are so good!)

Try this

open.spotify.com/track/1z6MioTKg2mfk7WVlYO7Fh?si=…

Lines by Long Distance Calling. The chorus is the best.

sylveon,

This is a cool song but it has nothing to do with melodic death metal. That would be bands like (old) In Flames, At the Gates, Amon Amarth or Dark Tranquillity.

JoeClu,
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

Okay. My apologies.

Would this work?

open.spotify.com/track/5t8NXa2fugcTPsTfhVILmS?si=…

Pisces by Jinger

Maybe wait 1:15 in.

sylveon,

First off, I’m not the arbiter of what does and doesn’t belong to a certain genre. That’s, to a certain extent, subjective and people don’t always agree. However, there usually is at least some consensus in the community, otherwise the genre names would be useless.

That said, I personally wouldn’t call this melodic death metal either. Most of the song is just clean singing and clean guitars, both of which are sometimes used in melodeath, but they’re not a defining aspect of it. And even the parts with harsh vocals and distorted guitars are missing the riffs that are typical for the genre. It’s closer to a progressive death metal or groove metal sound similar to Gojira or Opeth.

Overall Jinjer are also definitely not a melodeath band, they’re metalcore, which is often seen as a subgenre of hardcore, not metal, although there are bands that are more on the metal side.

As I said, I’m not the genre police, this is just my opinion. But I think (sub)genre definitions are useful when talking about music and if we start using them too loosely, they lose their meaning and as a result, their utility.

JoeClu,
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

Hey thanks for that. I think melodic death metal is starting to become clear to me.

ssm, in What password manager do you recommend?

openssl and a text file

tycho,

Password-store if you are really fancy
