1·25 days agoMostly I fall asleep to Alan Watts, Charles Bukowski (read by someone with a better voice haha), sometimes a reading of Khalil Gibran’s The Prophet. When I get bored with those, I try radio stations, just whatever one interests me at the moment. Sometimes I’ll listen to the “learn [language] while you sleep” videos, just as a goof.

I wish I’d known how difficult it is to make a good, functional conlang. I badly underestimated this.

My focus is on trying to make the world a better place locally, on a tiny level. There is a lot wrong with the world and I can’t do anything about it on that overwhelmingly massive scale, but helping in whatever tiny way I can creates ripples that reach further than trying to fix EVERYTHING.
Or Nigeria, or Greenland, or Panama…
I write a list, then I forget to take it with me.
Was listening to The Cure for about a week, and still listening to them for a horrible reason.
4·2 months agoHeh. I played this at a Christmas street party years ago, and I had a gaggle of bitter old women march towards me, intent on causing trouble. They told me the song’s satanic because “imagine no religion” is exactly the same thing as “imagine no God/spiritual presence”. I replied that the song is actually about the kind of religion that turns people nasty, like them. I turned around to get support from my band, only to see them half a mile down the road. Very memorable Christmas street party, that one.

Indeed there is value in that. And sometimes that’s possible and should be pursued. But there are some people I can’t discuss pizza toppings with, because I can’t accept their underlying world view. It’s difficult to find a good balance at scale, which is why everything is becoming so horrible. Something will have to (positively) change at some point, because the current state is unsustainable.
I tried Mastodon, multiple times, and it always has this icky political feel to it. Sort of like a left wing version of Twitter, which I also hate. Bluesky is even worse in this regard IME. Haven’t tried Sharkey. I’ll have a look at some of the alternatives in this thread.
I was already sick of what reddit was turning into, then it went full Spez and ruined the place completely. Lemmy was the only thing close that I could find. So here I am.
2·2 months agoI was thinking sweet pancakes, because you could add sugar to almonds and it would be desserty (maybe?). But you seem to know more about this than I do, so I’ll try some savoury ones. Cheers.
No problem. I’ll just scroll past it. 👍
SwiftKey has Coptic.
