I make music and have released them on streaming platforms. I’m subscribed to most of the music, music production, and music genre communities in the fediverse.

Same. Mid-30s was also the time where I truly felt my body starting to decline, since most people’s physical peak is between late 20s and early 30s

Nah, I just genuinely want to learn new trivia stuff. I already know the common ones like the mammoths and pyramids for example.

Yup!

Whataburger Sweet & Spicy Bacon Burger.

A lot of have pivoted. When I attend conferences, most of the vendor sponsors are basically “this same product that provides this common service, but with AI integration”.

I just go on youtube music (don’t need an account) and search “songs like x”. That will get you a bunch of algo and user created playlists. Then I listen to them and take note of the ones I like.

Most Villenueve movies are very rewatchable for me. Sicario, BR2049, Arrival, and the Dune films. Others like Incendies, Enemy, and Prisoners not as much, not because they are bad, but because they are pretty heavy to be watched repeatedly.

Ah publicly exposed bucket. Tale as old as time.

That’s my wife’s favorite because they use olive oil and not soybean. We always have a stack of cans at home and we probably eat around 3-4 a week. From what I understand, smaller fish have less mercury, and I assume sardines have short lifespans so that also helps with heavy metal exposure.

Bbq brisket. I’m not going to go through the whole process of smoking for several hours.

Because the premise of religion involves having full faith in someone/something without question or evidence. So the more a person believes in it, the easier they are to manipulate, and it tends to have the same effect on other things. So if you are able to tickle that specific part of their brain and make them fully believe in something, you can have them do almost anything you want them to do.

Lmao an SCP actually breaching containment.

Cryptocurrency company paying their employees in cryptocurrency. Well at least they walk the talk.

Yeah, I’m all against social media surveillance, but this was on the jumbotron at a concert. Having said that, I do hate those segments in concerts and sports where they feature audiences on the screens without consent. It’s not like there’s a line in the customer agreement when buying tickets that you allow your face to be featured (unless there is?). That’s why I always make myself as boring as possible - either just sitting with a straight face, or eating something - so I don’t get singled out.

The article says Apple claims the employee failed to report previous breaches, so maybe it’s the last of multiple strikes.

Based on the article, the youtuber and an accomplice who knew an Apple employee accessed the employee’s phone while it was unattended, so technically it wasn’t intentional and more negligence. On the other hand, Apple also claims the employee failed to report previous breaches, so maybe this was the final straw.

Our PMs don’t like making things opt-in.

This reply from one of the employees sums it up.

To spite either a delivery person or the person the item will be delivered to.

Half a world away. It hasn’t been my home for more than 2 decades now.
