Reply to types of males by twovests

Oh oh I've got one:

ta male: a traditional Mesoamerican dish, made of masa or dough (starchy, and usually corn-based), which is steamed in a corn leaf or banana leaf.[1] The wrapping can either be discarded prior to eating or used as a plate. Tamales can be filled with meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, chilies or any preparation according to taste, and both the filling and the cooking liquid may be seasoned.

Reply to What Is Lost in Post-Scarcity? by Moonside

This is an interesting read. I think I kind of disagree at the part where the author starts discussing how the post-scarcity music world means people listen more broadly and in the background. I find that because there is so much available for practically nothing, I filter through and find a few songs that really connect with me. In the days of the record, the cassette, even to an extent the CD, if you wanted to skip a track on an album you had to put physical work in. Yes you were forced into fewer albums, but you had much less of an ability to curate what you wanted to listen to. Making a playlist of your favourite songs involved buying a blank tape and dubbing them over, getting the perfect amount of silence between each track. Now you can "filter" through albums once and then add the songs you like to a custom playlist.
