I have a little bit of a cringe-problem, so If the lyrics of a song portray some feelings I can’t imagine sharing or being worthwhile having, I can’t really listen to it.

Lyrics are also banned for background distraction music, the kind of music I listen to to block Background Noise that would be annoying me when I do homework. Listening to music like trance (my lofi beats to relax/study to replacement) moves the problem from being annoyed by noises I don’t want to hear, to slight problems having complicated thoughts I would want to vocalise out loud or in my head. So sometimes I just turn on Brown Noise (Bass-boosted White Noise), or Pink Noise where I forgot what it is, but that feels weird in the ears after 1 to 2 hours. I don’t always need to play sounds I pick, but sometimes, I really don’t want to hear other people’s noises.

the last three political cartoons i’ve read have all been at least this unfunny. satire is really turning out to be unable to make things even more ridiculous than they already are

What did they not teach us? I do not know this.

it’s the journey that counts?

I’ve heard that the pikachu cry in pokemon yellow has a bit depth of 1.

Wann hören “die” endlich damit auf? Ist das endlich der nachklang in der Rechten Echokammer, oder wird das immernoch von Ölprofiteuren finanziert (wie PragerU, HVO100, etc.)? Gibt es eigentlich noch Fossil-exklusive Energiekonzerne, oder sonst, warum glaubt noch irgendwer, es sei nötig, Windkraft schlechtzureden? Ich bemerke, dass ich mittlerweile komplett daran glaube, dass erneuerbare Energien “das einzig wahre” sind.

When I drop my phone, sometimes the back comes off and the battery falls out. Luckily the screen hasn’t cracked yet.

was hast denn gegen Bogen. ich nutze übrigens nicht Bogen.

Ubuntu 24.04s KDE Package. Have I borked something or when will it ask me about upgrading?

huh? Isn’t that the thing that let’s me select the DE/Compositor/Server mashup while logging in? It just occured to me that this sounds like circular reasoning, but that’s what it looks like it does

Yeah. It also looks like the buttons might light up on hover, but they already basically do that so that’s only a very small plus. I too remember being annoyed about not seeing content behind the shade properly.

I have made about 5 entries, in the last ~2 years. The first few are so incoherent stream-of-consciousness that reading them didn’t feel valuable anymore. Then there’s the one where I come out as specifically gay to my dictionary, and the latest one at least 6 months later in which I comment on the previous. Maybe i’ll write another entry soon.

this is so sad

Tool Assisted Speedcore (TQBF Frame Advance Remix) in my arse.

I enjoyed the article because I enjoyed how absurd it sounded. The joke about Illiteracy dawned on me very slowly, and I’m not from the US and don’t know much about Roseanne Barr. Even reading her Wikipedia article didn’t really seem to help. I then reposted the article basically hoping someone would explain the joke to me. I’m of course not being paid to do that. Though I have registered that the joke about illiteracy is actually there now, I have only gotten little other information, like that “Roseanne Barr is basically a hyper mega MAGA Karen” (sp3ctr4l@lemmy.zip, 2025), and that this appears to be a somewhat recent development in her world view. I’m starting to believe there isn’t much more to it.

Man Who Bumped Tesla While Parallel Parking Sentenced To Death

Because i didn’t completely get the blog article at first, I wanted to make this joke about reading comprehension (or familiarity with the words they use) needed to understand what Communist-adjacent people are saying:

not sure how well it holds up
