In the 1700s Europe, rich folks would hire Garden Hermits. So your proposal has some precedent.

Surprising how such harsh and atonal sounds can be so melodic. This is the sign of someone who’s been doing this for a long time. (since 2005 apparently)

I read that when a cat squints at you, it actually means they trust you, i.e. they don’t have to stay alert around you.

OP is clearly trolling, but this is the most balanced take on the article.

Reflect on yourself first

Agreed. The article mentioned a “Biblical perspective”, and I vaguely remember something about Jesus saying if your eye offends you pluck it out. He didn’t actually make his disciples pluck out their eyes tho, I think he was saying if there’s a problem it’s with the viewer, not the observed.

aw yeah… I listened to songs 8 and 9 then jumped to song 1 and everything was mellow and I was in the kitchen with it playing through an earbud when that song 2 came on. It was definitely pretty energizing.

They are certainly dark electronic‽

Aw yeah this would sound great in a mix with other goth / industrial songs. Plus, it has the word “death” in the title, lel.

Maybe it’s bc I’ve been doing a lot of proofreading recently, but the first thing I noticed was reference to “the Battle of Dover Straight” instead of Strait.

Remember when we were talking about Jeff Mills a couple weeks ago? That’s exactly what made/makes him such an outstanding techno DJ. Not the music he composed, but that he’d only play a minute or so of each song before mixing in another.

You can’t really “mix” punk songs like that tho, it’d be too much energy for too long a time, there’s a reason the songs are that short.

A couple things I like about these photos. These are “real people”, not heavily-filtered Insta influencer wannabes trolling for followers. These are people of various ages and genders and styles.

Like, look at this guy. Is he from Lord of the Rings? If he isn’t, then Tolkien was quite remiss in neglecting him.

I like this kid’s outfit bc you can just tell she’s gonna show this photo to her grandma next week and they’ll bond over it.

This one is deceptively simple, there are some great patterns in the shoulder spikes, the metal snakes in the headpiece, and the eye decoration.

waaah so jealous…

I hear ya. I especially gotta take a look at Iola Velegem’s archive of photos, especially for the Victorian period-era clothes, I’m trying to come up with some businesslike outfits in case I need to go back in the office a lot.

I had to look that up, killer song, yeah everyone in that video would totally look at home at WGT lel.

The cops raid the place with a similar device and find absolutely nothing.

This album and several singles from it were posted a couple weeks back, but I heard this song on a stream recently and thought it was worth special notice.

When I was in high school one lunchtime I was sitting there reading sci fi by myself like a total nerd and some other kids were sitting nearby and they started smoking cigarettes, which was against the rules. Anyway a teacher saw them just as the lunch period ended and the teacher said: “all right You, You, You, and You stay behind!” And the teacher pointed at me, because I was nearby. I was like: wow, I haven’t been in trouble before! I was writing a lot of short fiction and poetry at the time so I thought it’d be a good experience. So I sat there and listened for a while as the teacher berated the kids. But eventually I realized I’d gotten all I was gonna get from this teacher’s unimaginative lecture, so I stood up and was like: I gotta go to class. The teacher glared at me and was gonna go off, but the other kids were cool, they were like nah he wasn’t a part of this. The teacher looked at me, looked at my sci fi book, looked at me again, then realized yeah these kids would never have anything to do with this dork. So they let me run off to class.

“word shitting”. Lots and lots of words that say fuck all.

This is a great way to describe LLM-based AIs. I’ma use it.

If you read the page, you’ll discover a way to remedy that.

More (bowel) moving than War-n-Peace. More slimy than Middlemarch. After this gets removed for not being a photograph, make sure you post it in a community that will better appreciate it.

I just kinda assumed that’s bc back in the day it was hard to find enough punk songs without cuss words that you could play on the radio.

Check out youth hostels / Hostelling International. Basically they’re inexpensive dorm-like hotels mostly targetted at younger backpackers. The ones in LA and Boston are in great locations. About 12% of Americans are of German descent (cite) so ask around, you or a family friend probably have a distant relative who immigrated here at some point.

So: get a cheap plane ticket. Fly into a city with a youth hostel. Wander around for a while. Catch a Greyhound Bus to visit your distant relative in Iowa. Hang out with them for a while. Catch another Greyhound to another city with a youth hostel. Fly back. You will meet a lot of people in the hostels. You’ll meet a lot of people on the Greyhound. Look up stuff ahead of time, not just tourist stuff but concerts or clubs or sports events wherever you go to. Sure it costs money but it’s a hell of a lot more fun than a resort or a cruise or whatever. Wait, isn’t “wanderjahr” a German word? Anyway after you spend a month or two here you’ll know whether you still like us or not.
