You and @haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com would probably be good to chat about that :)

I don’t know shit about shit. I’d love to pretend I do but I don’t and getting competent people together is probably a win

Music is important for some humans some of the time. It is not necessary for all humans at all times. So like you are wrong and stuff.

I like a lot of music, but I don’t want it most of the time because there are better sounds to listen to, like nature.

I won’t be responding to your pathetic trolling attempts from here on tho. You clearly don’t know shit about humans, despite claiming to be one.

Turns out we aren’t all the same and don’t all want the same dumb shit the lowest common denominator wants, like pop music. Some of us want peace and quiet even if we can understand and appreciate what about popular music makes it appealing to others.

I feel sad for you that you don’t see a possible rich existence without music…

One of us is lacking in life, but it certainly is not me.

Then you should try dysmantle, if you are at all into destroying your environment/surroundings!

You can break down everything, but it doesn’t replenish so like it gets kinda bleak if you destroy everything… but by the time I finished the game I game up breaking the buildings cus I had all the materials I needed.

All the same it’s on an island so you don’t feel too bad.Various human-inhabited islands also has no trees so it’s just a thing.

It’s related to the main post, and not a flex, just a thing that happened.

Some of us legit dgaf about music.

My favorite game sound track is from dysmantle.

There’s no music in 99% of the game; only at campfires and cutscenes.

It took me 42 hours (out of roughly 100 to complete the game) to notice the lack of music, because I always turn music down to 50%, sound effects to 75%, and leave dialogue/voices at 100%.

Edit: this post has attracted a downvote troll! Yay! Please disregard downvotes on any post under the OOP, because some asshole needs a hobby :)

None of those things apply to me so I’m still hopeful. :)

I just hope my 40s suck less. I’m almost stable and my country is probably going to collapse. And then the ecosystem around us will follow suit, yaaaay…

I have some people to jointly buy land with, and a zero waste, zero emission farm plan in place to weather the storm. Maybe. If we can all get our shit together super soon… it won’t be much but it’ll be ours and we’ll defend it fiercely. It’s the American way.

We’ll definitely be a local stop on the railroad, though, and I already know others who will do the same.

That’s why I’m careful, but there have been times I’ve swung it too far when the adjustment slips, so… very quick path from totally fine to felony.

I use a green laser pointer to sight my telescope…

I’m careful there’s no planes or anything but all the same.

Whenever I click an MSN link it takes me to the home page list of recent articles or whatever. Doesn’t bring up the article at all.

Different browser but all the same. Fuck msn.

9136 looks so excited to be in their presence. I wonder if that was intentional (starting the number with a 9, which, coupled with the eye, makes a left-facing face) or happenstance.

I used to do that, but I stopped because I’m trying to be less of a people-pleasing doormat in general. Plus people don’t like empty apologies from company reps anyway… it often led to more hostility. Apologizing also tends to give to the impression that they are right to be pissy whiny assholes, which isn’t something that should be encouraged at all.

Instead, I started saying “I very much understand your frustration; let’s see what we can do to get this resolved for you.” This makes you and the customer (psychologically) a team against the problem, and they are less likely to go off on you.

I definitely stole that tactic from car salespeople. And it works super well.

TW: loss (not the meme)

I had a cat who just loved the vet. He loved everyone he met, honestly. But the vet (and nurses and stuff) was there to see him, specifically, and he just loved all the attention. Everyone loved him so much. He was so bold and friendly, very much a dog in cat clothing.

He was sick for a long time (CKD dx in 2016, and various other old-and-failing issues I did my best to manage for him), but vet appointments were always fun for mr social. But when he went in for his last appointment July of 2023, he wasn’t friendly or social, he was tired and sad and pained, and it was the only time I’ve ever had to comfort him. And I miss his charming personality.

I had another cat who hated being put in a carrier or, like, dealing with anyone but me… and my vet did house calls so she got the vet to come to her. Thankfully, when she died November of 2023, it was a stroke and she went quick… that was honestly best for her, even though it was super traumatic for me. She would not have done well with multiple appointments or long-term treatments or anything. Overnight hospital stay? lol good fucking luck.

Why?

I haven’t had whattaburger since like 2008, but I used to absolutely love it, especially the triple triple. That was a great betting burger.

I got pulled over in Missouri years ago.

2am, going like 95 on some highway or interstate or other. Hadn’t seen another car in hours, and had been driving since like 5pm.

Get pulled over, cop asks where I’m headed. “Houston.” “Missouri?” “Oh, I didn’t know there was one, neat, no the one in Texas.”

Give my license (Texas) and registration (Wisconsin), and explain I’ve just moved back to my home state, hence the interstate papers, and am headed down with a friend to get my belongings from storage. He goes and runs my info, and it’s clean all the way down, as this is the first time I’d ever been pulled over, or really interacted with cops.

He comes back to the car and as he’s approaching, I can hear an all-hands call on his radio. There’s a heavily intoxicated woman throwing up in a Waffle House parking lot. Cop gets to my door, says “it’s your lucky day, I have to respond to an important incident, so maybe have your passenger drive for a while…”

So just a verbal warning and a mildly entertaining super-rural story. 8/10 would drive again.

I’ve literally never had this problem in my nearly 40 years of life. 🤭

Plot twist: it’s the same woman, and one pic is mirrored.

Right next to a lace boutique, no less. ;)
