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

I only upgrade my phone when it starts to lag and slow down. My last phone I replaced the battery when the life started dropping.

oSillyScope, in What genres of music do Lemmites enjoy?

I’m pretty big on americana lately. Lots of good bands to discover. I’m also getting back into ska.

Here are a few off the top of my head (though I looked up the original kanji for some of the Japanese ones)…

To enjoy life’s immensity, you do not need many things.

  • Ryōkan, a Japanese poet

Ain’t no shame in holding onto grief, as long as you make room for other things too.

  • Bubbles, from the last episode of The Wire

Honor is dead, but I’ll see what I can do.

  • Kaladin, from The Stormlight Archive Book 2 by Brandon Sanderson

Beware the difference between intelligibility and correctness.

  • Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Success consists of moving from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

  • Winston Churchill

猿も木から落ちる (Saru mo ki kara ochiru)

Even monkeys fall from trees.

  • Anonymous, traditional Japanese saying

正勝吾勝 (Makatsu agatsu)

True victory is victory over one’s self.

  • Morihei Ueshiba, founder of Aikido

We were shown an A&E biography episode on Ray Crock my freshman year of high school for career class and they quoted the dude as saying

If my competitors were drowning in a sea of gasoline, I would throw in a lit match.

Milkshake man was ice fuckin’ cold!

SlovenianSocket, in What's a good way to prank your coworker?
@SlovenianSocket@lemmy.ca avatar

Hit my boss with tellyourpartner.org earlier this week, a website that anonymously texts your partner with a list of STIs you select and a suggestion to get tested. Be careful tho it kinda back fired and he messaged a few of his exes lmao

That’s a horrible thing to do to someone

On the subject of Conway’s Game of Life, one of the YouTube videos that I always have to go back to now and then is a narrated video of the game being built from the ground up in APL. It’s so wild to see the guy start with a simple expression and the algorithm taking shape as he adds to it step by step. By the end it looks like some magical incantation lol

Emergence.

Conway’s Game Of Life blew my mind when I first saw it live. The fact that it is Turing Complete is crazy too.

MonkCanatella, in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no “brief candle” for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

And here is Jeff Goldblum it reciting from memory

Hurtreynolds90, in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

Pick your battles.

JimmyDean, in What genres of music do Lemmites enjoy?

Legitimately almost every genre, as long as I’m the mood. Lately tho I’ve mostly been listening to The Fall of Troy, Blink-182, Dance Gavin Dance, This Town Needs Guns, and good ole Pro Era artists like Capital Steez and Joey Bada$$.

DRUMS_, in What is a beautiful concept or idea that continues to blow your mind?

Alan Watts contextualizes our daily lives as the outer, “fine spray” at the edge of the big bang --still exploding. Planets “people-ing” and your daily schedule, relationships, accuisition of goods, etc. is just the complex late stage of the big bang explosion. The explosion is chaos but as time goes by order slips in and creates “complexity”. This is all still an explosion.

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” - Ferris Beuller
