I think for me, like 5% of total lyrics is my limit; if it’s all so screamy/growly/distorted that I can’t understand it, I’ve lost interest.
Reddit -> Beehaw until I decided I didn’t like older versions of Lemmy (though it seems most things I didn’t like are better now) -> kbin.social (died) -> kbin.run (died) -> fedia.
Japan-based backend software dev and small-scale farmer.

Farming. I worked on the neighboring farm as a teenager. Then, after a long series of jobs and education, became a software engineer. Being a software engineer taught me something: I miss working on a farm.
It is possible to taste more than one thing at a time, but there are limits to that (at least for me). When the balance of anything is too far out, I lose the other notes of a dish entirely. Garlic, coriander, and certain other herbs/spices can cause that in my case.
Does it feel like that? I know some bits of space are super hot but there’s not enough stuff there to get that energy to a person suspended in it. I guess being right next to the ISS might do it.
At least in Japan, a bicycle is legally a vehicle. It has some special carveouts compared to even scooters and the like, but it’s a vehicle
Just eat garlic on its own if you’re going to go that route; I don’t know how you could taste anything else in the dish!
Machinae Supremacy - Sidology 3 – metal covers of songs from old video games actually also using a SID chip.
23 in a lot of the winter (though I think the thermostat is wrong since that gets us to 20.x or 21 according to actual thermometers in the room) and usually 26 in ‘dry’ mode in the summer. Right now, we’re going for days without using them at all but, if not the heat, then the humidity will put an end to that by late May or early June.
It might be the way Bing is tokenizing and/or how far back it’s looking to connect things when compared to Google.
A statistical model predicted that “in heat” with no upper-case H nor quotes, was more likely to refer to the biological condition. Don’t get me wrong: I think these things are dumb, but that was a fully predictable result. (‘…the movie “Heat”’ would probably get you there).
I got on FB when it was still only for students. I quit something like 5 years ago. I never had insta. I quit twitter partially pre-corona and fully deleted it a couple years ago. I mostly just read things, especially during Corona when local governments posted a lot there (until recently, twitter was king in Japan. I think Insta has since dethroned it somewhat).
Defeat, doom, and giving up just makes it a done deal and accomplishes nothing.
5: English, German, French, Spanish, and Japanese.
I’m from the US but haven’t lived there in a decade so maybe I count? I also use mbin and not lemmy, but close enough. I like the various science communities most, I think. I actually don’t really use subscriptions and just block communities that I have zero interest in so it’s a bit tougher to say ‘I always go to xxxx’.
What grandchildren? I guess it’s not impossible I’d have to remarry in my 50s or older to someone with kids, but I sure hope I don’t have to.
Mid-40s and wrote several. Many places I lived only accepted rent by check or money order.
Dictators are known for keeping potential threats to their power around after they’ve outlived their usefulness so surely things will be fine, right?
// might keep 1 or 2 around in custody to attempt to prop up legitimacy later if needed.
I grew up in rural Ohio, USA. We had sex ed in 5th grade ('91, maybe?) that covered the very basic biological stuff. I think the following summer, we were supposed to go to a waterpark but had to cancel because my step-sister was on her period. Mom came in to talk about it, I showed her the pamphlet that school sent me home with, she read through it, then said to ask her if I had any questions. That was the first and last time any of that came up.
It would be nice. Whilst insta has mostly supplanted twitter here in Japan for biz stuff, I still don’t like meta owning it. I probably will create one (but fuck twitter) just to communicate with my customers, but I’d much rather it not belong to meta at that point. It’s worth noting, I do plan on creating other accounts on federated media, but there’s only so much one human with a fulltime job and a farm business can keep up with.
Bernie Sanders. Christianity spun out of a Jewish apocalyptic sect, so why not, in some very small part, bring it back toward its roots?
