We went to a concert of Tibetans doing the throat singing and it was cool as fuck.
Introspective arythmic diddly jazz is my music kryptonite. Similarly, the taqsim that is the opening part of so much good Egyptian music. It sounds abusively selfish to me. I do like a diverse array of genres but picky about jazz, or anything without a rhythm.
That Adderall is pretty literally speed like you would get as recreational, dextroamphetamine, not sure I would abuse it like taking a high dose, just absolutely confident I would want to stay up.
I remember being able to sleep on speed as a teenager and that felt so good, it just felt so good as a high, a little or a lot. Really bad for your heart, but apparently Adderall at the regular dose is good for your brain, protective vs. dementia. As is coffee, and exercise which are what I use to medicate.
Couple ryes got mention in this article about top ranked bourbons of this year.
The animals I see here are birds, lizards, snakes, bugs, bats, possums and rats and occasionally a raccoon, armadillo, or alligator.
In all cases (except the crows who sometimes come here for food) the animals disregard me or are wary.
I would say my feelings about them are that I leave them alone but am happy enough when they interact with me a little. One time I shared the condensation on my drink with a jumping spider and it’s one of the things I’ll remember forever. Whenever I set down the drink it would run over and drink from the outside of the bottle. It was so cute.
I am like this with
Deviled eggs
French Fries
And actually the electric bike, though I didn’t get another. It is just so freaking convenient and we have a few people in the house.
Oddly enough, not with most drugs, nor drink. But speed, yeah. My kid gets Adderall for ADHD and I told her just keep it in her room I don’t want to see it. Unless I can have it every day for the rest of my life. I really like speed.
Yeah I wish only for a few things that need a bigger base, sub for my city on Reddit was so helpful, and I miss Normal Nudes and Naked Progress, the NSFW stuff on Lemmy is more onlyfans girls & AI stuff, Reddit had such a massive reach they had everything, more people means more niche stuff.
Overall though? So much nicer here. And I am not sure you can have both, it’s probably nicer because it’s smaller.
Clone Wars
I had someone tell a coworker “you look better” when he was trying to give a compliment, and it came out so uncomplimentary we were all laughing when he left.
I should have used a pencil but:
Ha! Well I can remember Pong and having to go to an arcade for anything more interesting. But yes I always thought of those two as wildly successful, so must not have been aware of the beginning time. Amnesia, I was so happy to surprise my youngest with, it was older and they had not heard of it but available for PS4 (& the penultimate kid is PC gamer, uses our old Dell which is a beast, I did some upgrades)
I am not a game snob, lol, play Pokemon Go all the time, myself. Often things are popular because they are good. But do love indie media of all sorts, and absolutely love when I can scoop the kids on something they have not heard of.
I am not like people at my work but I like people at my work.
None of that being different matters if you can just listen and talk to others without needing them to be like you.
I will say on the video games it may be a generational thing, my kids love both indie games and Minecraft/Genshin. Penultimate kid liked Disco Elysium so much. Youngest likes horror, I got them Amnesia and they loved it, said it was too scary to do much at one time.
Anyway, just let other people do what other people do. You can like them, you don’t need to change yourself or then
Mississippi Goddamn.
Me personally? Absolutely not and that’s great. Someone who is alive now? Probably yes. We know about Socrates and Caesar and Leif Erickson and Ghengis Khan and Cleopatra.
Nation, US: has gotten so ridiculously bad
State: Florida, not as bad as media would have it but pretty damn bad.
City: cool. Laid back cops. Ok all round, they try. But our city DA was removed by our asshole governor, for de-prioritizing culture war bullshit.
I will add it’s the Cask Strength one I like best.

Sourdough Rye for me, hands down. With onions or olives or the caraway seeds or just the rye. I make it with about 35-40% whole rye flour and the rest bread flour and it’s so good!
I am sending this to my kids, who have crushed hard on:
X files
Bones
Supernatural
Killing Eve
Friends
Probably ten more I am forgetting
Honestly I think they have watched more 1990/2000s TV than I ever did, I was too busy raising them & their siblings.
2 more in my household. My husband is always saying he wishes we could find another show like that, when he isn’t saying he wishes we could find another one like Scavenger’s Reign.
That’s possible at most jobs here, so family is safe. If you mean outside of work, I’m a lady so could probably find & turn a trick in that amount of time, sure husband would even set it up rather than exploding, he has a friend who works with rich guys. Could make that with plenty to spare, I’d guess.
Pretty solid meal. Looks fancy. I agree with whoever said grape juice in a wine glass. Anything in a wine glass makes it fancy, actually.
I am trying to remember what my kids wanted at that age. I think they mostly would have requested chili. Did feed them lots of different things and all grew up with good broad palates.
