nice! can't wait to be a skeleton and hang w/ all my skeleton pals, I am already part skeleton

Thank you hoppet.

Yeah! This scans totally with my experience also. But then I also realise I'm not exactly the sort of music enjoyer that they're talking about. I suspect it's a case of the ol' typical mind fallacy.

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.

and then booty shorts that say "and the fish... don't get me started on the fish"

mine is the snails at great yarmouth joyland which is like the world's slowest rollercoaster

no but it's tuesday again no problem

hell yes old school!!!!

well you ain't steered me wrong yet!

I really trust your opinion on The Good Cartoons and this means it is all the more frustrating that I have such a backlog off good stuff to watch!!!!

genuinely surprised how low some of those prices are

interesting theological take!

The skeletons have more believable fight choreography than the humans.

Seeing this movie as a kid (or at least this bit of it) is one of the reasons skeletons are one of my favourite creature types in fantasy settings.

good, change is bad and horrible and should be avoided.

tap also

the only good thing that I got from my horrible call centre job was a free water bottle at christmas and it genuinely made me start drinking water as my default beverage and saving coca cola for a treat

I watched Snowpiercer (the movie not the series) on Netflix and thought it was a cool bold move to have the korean dialogue unsubtitled but no it's supposed to be subbed, netflix was just bugging out or something.

eyyy double hyphen em dash buddies

bear in mind that I have very little expertise with this, only that I used to work in life insurance

depends who your next of kin is really, you have stuff even if you don't have assets per se and you might have wishes on how to be buried/cremated and so on

probably not worth getting a proper big lawyerly one all notarised and such but can't hurt to write a document and keep it in a safe place, if nothing else to make your intentions clear -- even if it's not legally binding hopefully your NOK will follow it.

must move at a brisk pace

I like OpenTTD because I like the infrastructure and makin train tracks but that's not really simcity as much as it is... well, transport tycoon.

thank you! I wanted to do all of them but I couldn't think of definitions but I am glad you liked the ones I came up with.
