So watery. ๐Ÿคค And yet there's a smack of ham to it!

Generally I do agree with that statement. But I think this can be taken in a lighthearted manner. Not every joke needs to be so PC to the point where you're afraid to say anything and all humor is lost. Humor is subjective tho so I think it's fair to not like the joke.

It is incredibly odd...isn't it? So many words saying very little.

To OP, I think it would help others to give you advice if you say exactly what sort of plans you had that didn't work out. Plans not working out come in all shapes and sizes, and advice for one thing doesn't necessarily apply to another.

If it's a relationship you seem to desire, then asking for more relationship focused advice may be more fruitful than vaguebooking and not getting much in the way of useful responses.

Seriously, I found out that my bank chain switched their opening hours to being 10a-4p and most branches are closed on the weekends. It's not even 40 hours of opening time for the week!

What the fuck kind of a schedule is this? Granted, I've hardly ever needed to go to a branch in person because the majority of things can be done online or at an atm, but still. Some things you do occasionally need to visit in person for...like getting a cashier's check which I had to do recently.

Thankfully the last time I needed one, I was able to drive far away to a location that was open for a couple of hours on Saturday but Jesus Christ.

Yeah it's just odd...compared to someone like you or me (presumably anyway...I suppose you could be a master breakdance but I'm working with odds here lol), she's really good. But compared to advanced level break dancers, she's clearly an amateur. A lot of it is just confusing...it's like she didn't realize she was supposed to be doing tricks in her performance. And the few she tried to execute had somewhat poor technique and didn't land well.

The commentators at one point say that Raygun likes to use improvisation. I'm wondering if she didn't realize she was supposed to actually have a clean routine. It's like she thought they were just there to vibe.

Thanks so much for this! Glad to have finally seen it!

You know...the thing is that without context it's really not the worst thing in the world. She clearly has more breakdancing ability and knowledge than the average person on the steet.

But it's certainly odd...it's like she didn't get the memo that she was supposed to be doing tricks in her routine, and the few she attempted had poor technique and were not executed very well. It's like someone pitted some random kid from the high school track team against Usain Bolt. It's like...ok...compared to the general population who isn't trained in track and field, the high schooler has some knowledge and ability. But compared to an Olympian? Why are they even up there?

Except my comparison in this scenario is a bit ironic considering all the kids wiped the floor with her.

All in all a confusing as hell scenario.

It's a "feature" of Google photos and whatever the iOS equivalent of that is. You can just turn it off if you don't want to see it.

My job involves organs and sometimes I take photos for various reasons, often to demonstrate something to a physician or to cover my ass (identifying patient info is removed from the photo...not a HIPAA violation). Sometimes my phone likes to show these as memories lol.

What's wrong with liking both form and function in an item? Especially because I hardly use a mouse or keyboard in a way that I would call it a "tool" like a power drill. That's great if you need something like that, but a lot of us are more casual users and would appreciate something that matches our taste when it's displayed on a desk all day. Your power tools don't just sit out on your computer desk all day, do they?

I have been rocking an off brand Chinese mechanical tenkeyless (a must for my space) keyboard for 10 years now and a Logitech triathlon M720 mouse secondhand for a slightly shorter amount of time. A great combo for me and the keyboard can be lighted or off in any color I choose. It doesn't constantly strobe at you unless you want it to.

I mean, it's not the exact same, but human fetuses can be measured similarly with a "crown to rump" length. I have to notate this in my reports (but I include other measurements too like hand/foot length and "crown to heel" length).

Oi, cunt, hope you have a great fucking day!

 

I apologize if this isn't allowed, but I wasn't sure exactly where to put it. Just let me know if it's inappropriate and I'll delete. Thanks.

I'm a loner, so my life is basically just work and the internet. Two of my coworkers are among my favorite people in the whole world, but one of them doesn't like the other one and will complain to me about how they don't like them.

We work incredibly closely together...only a few feet apart for hours on end. Our job also necessitates that we frequently communicate with one another. In the beginning, I absolutely loved it and there was no conflict.

Now, I often get my one coworker complaining to me that the other is lazy. And I'm not going to lie, the "lazy" one definitely takes more breaks than everyone and doesn't at all work as hard as the others. But that doesn't really bother me because she's a super incredibly nice and friendly person.

But over time it has bothered my hardworking coworker more and more and driven a wedge into what I would have once considered to be a friendship between the 3 of us.

It never gets to the point where there is yelling or arguments or anything, but it absolutely ruins the mood and then I hear about it later.

I interact with these people for hours on end every single day and I'm just not sure how to handle it. I've been struggling to know how to deal with it for months now.

To top it all off it gives me endless paranoia that the hardworking coworker secretly resents me and hates me too. This stuff never used to happen before, but know I feel like it's all that happens.

 

Whenever I come across a song with specifically rapidly switching and ping ponging or warbling right/left effects, I get chills. But it's hard to find exactly what I mean.

The only two songs that I know of that exemplify this are:

  • Such Great Heights by The Postal Service
  • Slow Me Down by Emmy Rossum

I heard the latter song first and I'll never forget that moment I was sitting in front of the stereo and hit play, not knowing what to expect. I kept repeating the beginning of the song over and over again to hear that effect in the intro, amazed at what my ears were hearing.

There are a few more songs I've listened to that do this, but I've lost them and can't remember what they were called sadly. I've been combing through my music library but haven't found them again.

An example of songs that do NOT fit this criteria are Left and Right by Charlie Puth or Runaway by Kanye West. I don't really care that the lyrics switch ears. It doesn't provide that indescribable experience that the songs I posted above give.


I'm finding that this is such a hard thing to Google. A lot of people link to songs simply with "right left stereo effects", but I'm looking for something more specific as in the above. I'm specifically looking for rapid right left switching effects, and NOT just instruments occasionally played in a different ear.

My genre of choice is pop/EDM and modern pop, but I'm open to others. Thanks all, I'd really appreciate it.


Edit: Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the responses, guys. There are so many songs to wade through. Thanks!

 

Hi all. Apologies if this isn't the right community for this type of question. Just let me know and I'll remove it.

Recently I've been struggling a bit. There are a few people in my life right know who I care deeply about. They are going through some very rough times right now. (Ex: money issues, sick relatives, etc.)

I am very frustrated because I hear about what's going on all the time and I am powerless to do anything to help. The advice I've had in the past is "just be a friend and be there for them," but there is only so far I am mentally and even physically able to go with that. All I want to do is to fix it and make it better for them but I can't.

And it's been making me go a bit crazy tbh. It's pretty narcissistic of me to be reacting this way, but I can't help it. I don't tell these people that I am stressed out because of them and I don't tell them that it is affecting me in any way. It's such an asshole move for me to be feeling this way but I just don't know how to get out of it.

I try to be nice and friendly all the time, but it's killing me. I just want to be able to help but I can't. I'm completely and totally powerless.

Surely there are those of you out there who care about others and have run into this issue before. What the actual fuck am I supposed to do? "Just be a friend" doesn't help my mental state or do anything for any of the issues that any of us have.

Thanks all.

Somewhere within the last few updates, it seems that haptic feedback has been added to whenever you swipe over a post.

I know a lot of Apple users were asking for this, but I really don't like it as an Android user who doesn't have haptic feedback for apps normally. It's annoying for my phone to be vibrating every 2 seconds when I'm doing things. Is there no option to turn it off?

Thanks! Loving the work you guys do!

 

Hi all. After searching in the fediverse and not finding any TST centric communities, I've decided to try and create one. For the unaware, The Satanic Temple is a modern atheistic satanic religion that advocates for human rights. I'm not one to be great at content generating or anything, but if you're interested, check it out:
