I never played sleepy music until I was a teen, and every night I played Cake - Fashion Nugget. Great, mellow tunes, and I learned ALL the lyrics subliminally!
Ok, I did listen to it awake, so maybe it wasn't completely subliminal, but it's been a while and I bet I could still sing 80% of the album from memory.
Nowadays, it's just the fan or AC running.
EDIT: I typed the wrong Cake album originally.

It might be better to NOT ban them. If I read a post and decide that this is not someone I want to interact with EVER again, I can block them and move on. But, if they get banned and come back with a new name, they pop right back in my feed.
I'm watching a lot of old sitcoms and that's a pretty common characteristic. Seems like there's always multiple characters lying and manipulating their loved ones for relatively insignificant reasons. At the end we all have a few laughs and think that's normal.
After it happened she was emotionally devastated, because she SPECIFICALLY ASKED THEM not to make a mess of her outfit. That was a $200 jacket and those stains are NOT coming out with club soda.
Why couldn't this call be an email? Why would you call, when you know that you are near indistinguishable from spam calls about Microsoft services and Nigerian princes?
I don't think HR or verifying agencies CAN dig into your social media. I think it's just credit scores and criminal convictions.
But, even if that's not true, which is very possible, I guarantee that your potential boss and any co-workers involved in the hiring process will Google you. That usually brings up court cases or newspaper stories (if there are any), a Facebook, or LinkedIn. If you were dumb enough to post your Reddit name on Facebook... good luck on your job search.
I live in an affluent part of South Carolina. It’s become completely overrun with Trump assholes and degenerates. I don’t know how much longer I can take it. Where can we go?...
Get played used to be called How did this get played, right?
I love those guys. Haven't listened to it in years, but even after listening to Spoiler Country on games I never heard of, it often made me go try the game, or suggest it to my brother so he could experience the twist in the raw.
What Happened to Edith Finch was one of my favorites that I only played because of their review. I had mostly forgotten everything that was spoiled in the podcast, (except for the bathtub) so it was still great to experience the twists and turns!
Anything is a bit harsh, but I can understand where it comes from. Before Nirvana, rock was hairspray, glitter and spandex. Grunge put us in ripped jeans, flannel and not giving a fuck.
A lot of it is "technically" not great music, and since many bands have taken that grunge sound, improved it and put their own spin on it, listening to them today isn't very impressive. In fact, I rarely get excited when Nirvana comes on the radio, and I wore a Kurt T-shirt in the 90s!
What is NOT overrated is the impact they made on rock. The whole game changed because of Nirvana, and they definitely deserve credit for that.
Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment which states that an otherwise benevolent artificial superintelligence (AI) in the future would be incentivized to create a virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to...
I'm starting to suspect that masquenox is part of a propaganda campaign led by the basilisk itself! They just seem a little too serious about us not taking this seriously.
Getting strong "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!" vibes.
My city is in the middle of the worst drought in recorded history. My showers are typically under 2 minutes and I have to shower with a bucket to catch otherwise wasted water to use to flush the toilet. I also shut the water down when I am wet enough so I can scrub myself without having unneeded water flowing then start it...
A few years ago I felt kinda lame whenever I had to "make a wish" blowing out birthday candles or whatnot and the only thing I could think of under pressure was "world peace"....
For what it's worth, it's not exactly the same COVID. I'm no scientist, but as I understand, the majority of COVID viruses are less dangerous than the 2020 batch. Millions of people died that year. If that were still the case, we'd be seeing a lot more death.
Sometimes on Lemmy these seem like the only jobs that actually exist, but I'm sure there's a lot of people here with different and unusual lines of work.
Since this is an experience you had with a single person, here's my take on it: That interaction was one moment to you, but the other person had a lifetime to develop that mindset.
I don't know who you're talking about, or what their ailment is, but they've probably been discussing it online for a while, and have probably gotten a LOT of medical recommendations. Some of them, great advice from people with experience, the rest are crystal suppositories.
They probably just wanted to stick to the topic at hand or vent about an experience without having to sift through a bunch of people telling them about meds they've already researched or why they should go vegan.
I encounter situations like this rather often where I am responding to a comment that contains many individual points/statements. I typically will respond with a single comment that contains a quote of each point that is being responded to with my response under neath the respective quote — and, sometimes, for added clarity, a...
The point is, replying in individual comments is stupid and more confusing. You seem to be trying to defend the idea, but no matter how much you think it makes sense, I would quit this platform in a heartbeat if everyone typed that way.
I tried to explain ADHD math to someone and they didn't understand at all

How have your opinions on media you once enjoyed changed over time? Are there movies or shows you used to find funny but no longer do?
All political views should end with the word boy in a southern voice.
This would be a quick way to see of it's racist, close minded, or just straight bs....
What secret conspiracy would you like to actually start letting other people know?
Phone calls still assume the people on the receiving end are attached to a desk.

If throwing up means to puke, then throwing down must mean to have the shits.

What are your most overrated album(s)?
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West. The first 6 songs are great but the other songs is a mixed beg. It's a 7/10 not a 10/10.
