I basically only go there when DDG hasn’t indexed the Stack Exchange/Overflow Q&A I’m looking for.

Also decentralized SE/SO when?

what really??

it’s easy to listen to an audiobook at the same time

This blows my mind and shows what a different experience this must be, compared to what I was imagining. I suppose you’ve been reading sheet music for a long time now? Almost like a second “language.” Do you enjoy reading sheet music?

Oh nice so you can flip about a bit to find the perfect spot - so handy!

Vetinari IRL. From Soul Music by Terry Pratchett:

Besides, Lord Vetinari, the supreme ruler of Ankh-Morpork, rather liked music.

People wondered what sort of music would appeal to such a man. Highly formalized chamber music, possibly, or thunder-and-lightning opera scores.

In fact the kind of music he really liked was the kind that never got played. It ruined music, in his opinion, to torment it by involving it on dried skins, bits of dead cat, and lumps of metal hammered into wires and tubes. It ought to stay written down, on the page, in rows of little dots and crotchets all neatly caught between lines. Only there was it pure. It was when people started doing things with it that the rot set in. Much better to sit quietly in a room and read the sheets, with nothing between yourself and the mind of the composer but a scribble of ink. Having it played by sweaty fat men and people with hair in their ears and spit dribbling out of the end of their oboe… well, the idea made him shudder. Although not much, because he never did anything to extremes.

Can’t believe no one’s said spritz of lemon juice yet. That was my go to as a kid.

hey sometimes your chest just feels like there’s a great weight crushing you crushing you from above and the walls are closing in and you’re scared and you just sit there stupidly not wanting to make a fuss but knowing absolutely knowing that this is it this is how it all ends–oh and then it kind of passes and you get back on shift and get in trouble for being slow, but it’s alright at least you’re alive

It can be so worth it. Sometimes I’m stressing about this great nebulous cloud of bullshit that just seems insurmountable and existential, but then when I explain it to someone, it’s like… 3 things. And yeah, those things may legitimately be a source of stress, but knowing that they are finite and number, and probably solvable, makes daily life a lot less daunting.

Yo this artist rules. I just binged their back catalogue, and it’s really cool to see their (jheir?) progression over the years.

Yeah I like to come for air like every few years or so

pomodoro_longbreak,
@pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah I’ve seen this happen in real time. Maybe a little slower, but still inexorably.

This makes me uncomfortable.

Catch me going out in that burnt mustard death whip babeee 😎

But seriously, it’s natural burial AKA “green burial” for me.

Some tempting options, right? I’m trying to stay strong and tell myself I don’t need any more plastic. 😣

In Canada, the Ministry of Health pays colleges to teach kids COBOL and JCL. It’s a steady job, pension, good bennies. I know a handful of people who went that route, rather than the riskier private sector.

Is this an Ikea reference? I’m not trendy enough to get it.
