I can’t count on my fingers how many times I’ve seen that fucking movie reprise on television. Way too overplayed that it ruined the film series for me.

Ha! Finally a “Hercules” meme.

They’re not really considered underground since they have 1 million monthly listeners, but I still don’t see a lot of people talking about the band Foreign Air. They are known for their hit “Free Animal”, but they have so many good songs. I recommend “Your Touch”, “Hello Sunshine Pt 2”, “Wake Me Up”, “Moving On,” and “Monsters”. Unsure of how to describe their genre, it certainly isn’t rock nor bubbly pop…

How do people manage to have more than 6 tabs open? What is this talk about 500-1000+?

Top artist is Lana Del Rey. Top song is Masochism by Ky Vöss.

I really do wonder how old this meme is. Can’t remember when I saw it for the first time…

It sounds ridiculous but I promise I’m being serious. I’m looking for instrumental songs that are from the middle ages / the renaissance, with fun and fast-paced beats that just makes you wanna dance to it. Think of the POTC soundtrack but medieval. An example is the song “Im Maien” by Piffaro. I’m writing a story at the moment that takes place during this time and I could really use some upbeat, party bangers as inspiration lmao.

I have listened to that! While they’re funny, I can’t take them very seriously, especially when writing. :')

I’ve got nothing new to say except that I have tried Mastodon several times and it hasn’t stuck to me. Very difficult to get any interactions at all, let alone conversations.

YouTube once again ahead of uBO on Firefox; fiddling with the extension settings not working this time and DDG search is useless ... anyone got ideas?

Pretty much the subject line. uBO has successfully blocked the nag screen enough times that I can’t play anything at this point. No preview loads, and the play button serves no function. I’d really prefer not to have to find content on YT, copy the URL and use Piped/Invidious, but this ongoing escalation is steeling my...

I always watch in 1080p and there have been no issues for me so far at all. I love Freetube.

This kind of shit makes me sad every time I see it. Unbelievable the lengths some women have to go to get the medication they need. I am so tired of these types of doctors.

America's nonreligious are a growing, diverse phenomenon. They really don't like organized religion (apnews.com)

Forgive my ignorance as I don’t know very much about the relation between Denmark and Greenland, but why did Denmark do this to these women? The article mentions decreasing births in the arctic areas, but why? And why did they choose such a grim way of doing so?

Sounds a bit harsh but these are the questions to ask yourself. Too many times people are passive and don’t realise they have some power in certain situations.

There are purchases within the app - such as buying more candles (the game currency), or a “Season Pass” that gives you exclusive stuff whenever a new season in the game begins. You absolutely don’t need to pay for anything to enjoy the game, there are no limitations as far as in-game interactions go.

clark,
@clark@midwest.social avatar

For me it’s about exploring new realms, and discovering new spirits and doing missions given by said spirits. Collecting items such as clothes and accessories is fun as well. I guess it’s not as intense as other games, but I like that you can do stuff your own pace - there’s no pressure or stress, just lots of beautiful visuals and wonderful soundtrack. Befriending fellow players and doing missions together is a plus as well.

Anyway, bottom line is that the more you play the more you find out the story of the Sky universe. A playable story, if you will.

What advice would you give a young adult about to move out?

I am asking this question because the young adult in question, is me. I am to move out in a few years, and it feels impossible to move far away from my hometown (which I want). I have no idea how to juggle both finances, a job, and the move itself. With the global inflation going on, it feels impossible getting hold of a decent...

Agreed. I’ve always had the impression you made your own algorithm on Lemmy by subscribing to communities, so there is really no need for “an approved algorithm” that requires gathering data from the users here.

I have a “phobia” (or at least a very strong fear) of insects. This includes regular flies, worms, mosquitos, bees, butterflies to some extent. Whenever I hear that buzz of a fly, my fight-or-flight response activates and I instantly become more aware of my surroundings. Whenever I hear a fly inside my apartment I tell my parents to please kill it or let it out, sometimes I hide in my room. Coincidentally enough, a few days ago I found a decently small worm in my bedroom and it kept wiggling, and my anxiety was intense. I kept yelling for my mom to go get it, my heartbeat was so intense.

People like to laugh whenever I flinch or act nervous around a small fly, and I get why that’s funny, but I really hate it. It distracts me and makes me feel on edge. People keep telling me, “it’s just a small insect, it can’t hurt you”; I know it can’t, but the buzzing and the way it flies makes me really uncomfortable. It’s why I don’t like summer. It’s weird, because I didn’t always feel this way; I only started having this phobia at around 10 years old maybe. Anyway, I don’t know why I have it. But it’s really debilitating.

I know, people have suggested CBT to me. I haven’t gotten around to take the initiative to actually get help, but hopefully I will soon.

So as far as audio quality goes, you don’t think it’d be worth switching from Spotify to Tidal? I like Tidal for other reasons (I like the UI better, they supposedly pay artists more), but I’m not sure if these reasons are enough to completely abandon Spotify?

clark,
@clark@midwest.social avatar

I’ve never heard of this band before and I checked them out. Very exciting sound, I’m sure my father who’s crazy about synth would also like them. I’m happy I saw this post!

It’s been well, school on Fridays are usually chill. We read about Marxism today in social science/economics class, and last week we read about mercantilism and liberalism. So that was fun. I’m glad it’s the weekend now, I’ll be eating a bunch of spaghetti. And I have 2 days off next week, whoo-hoo!

clark,
@clark@midwest.social avatar

What music platforms would you suggest as an alternative? Apple Music can’t be that much better, can it?

clark,
@clark@midwest.social avatar

Your comment actually inspired me to try the free trial for Tidal and I really like it. In the future I might switch over to it from Spotify, at least they seem to pay artists better.

I don’t know what any of this means, but I’m so happy to see these Hitler parodies again.

I know, I just mean I haven’t seen one of these in a while, and I’m glad I was reminded of their existence by this post.

Initially I used Mlem, but I found the scrolling to be not smooth, and I didn’t really like the design. Then I had Avelon for a while, which I would’ve still kept if it wasn’t for the fact you couldn’t off-load it and it took up a lot of data on my phone (2-3GB). Now I use Voyager and I really like it, I think I’ll stick with it for a while. You can customise it a bit, it looks like Apollo, it’s smooth, I’m able to off-load it. It’s great!

clark,
@clark@midwest.social avatar

I actually did try it out a few hours ago for a short bit! I’m waiting for more customisation options, so once the app has developed more I will give it a more proper try. It did look very nice upon installing it. :)

clark,
@clark@midwest.social avatar

If you go to your iPhone settings > General > Storage you have the option to either delete an app or offload it (which clears up space on your phone from the app’s cache). Avelon didn’t have this option and it took up a lot of space for me. Hence why I switched.

This is exactly what my father says whenever I tell him I don’t feel comfortable having a bunch of corporate-owned platforms that eat my data away.

I used to have specific usernames I felt attached to, but those depended on what kind of phase I found myself in. Nowadays it’s hard for me to come up with a username at all, especially since I don’t want to use my real name. But so far I like this username I have now the most.

I was stuck with a Google account because I still wanted to view Youtube, but then I found alternatives like Piped and Freetube that let you import your subscriptions. Maybe that’s an option, if you’re interested.

Which active communities are you subscribed to? I could definitely use some suggestions.

Iron Sky from 2012. It doesn’t have good ratings but the first time I watched it with my father, it was hilarious. Granted, the humour is quite dark but the cultural differences that you will come to see are so funny. I liked it, personally, but of course it’s not for everyone.
