Why is swearing normal for some people? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

As others have mentioned, for me I sometimes use it as just filler (part of natural language). Alternatively, I can use it to add emphasis or to exaggerate.

Do you get sick of the same songs and how do you combat it? in c/[email protected]

Haha, this is the same for me. I'll listen to a band's debut, and the rest doesn't always live up to it. Then I have to force myself to listen to the rest just in case I like any more, even sometimes to check them off my list.

Thanks for reminder, done.

I envy you, and hell yeah, Judas Priest!

I am like that when listening to music I haven't heard before, I listen to the album in its entirety, and the releases in chronological order. After that, they get dumped in a spotify playlist based on genre and played on shuffle. Some of my playlists get huge.

If I find myself overplaying certain songs, I sometimes have to force myself to take a break because when I don't, I usually end up ruining/disliking the song. I hate when this happens because perfectly good songs that I love end up irritating me because I have heard it too much. Do you stop listening to those songs or just play it as many times as you like?

EDIT: changed title to be open-ended.

Spotify has raised prices for the second time in a year, with no new benefits, after its CEO sparked outrage by claiming the cost of creating 'content' is 'close to zero' in c/[email protected]

The UI that gets progressively worse with each update, ruining what was perfectly fine before. The attempts to create the audio focused equivalent of TikTok.

Damn, I really relate to this. When I get nervous because I don't know what to say, I come back with one of my dreaded default responses.

Seems pretty realistic to me.

I might use that last tip, that's clever.

Which carbonated soft drink is the best? (lemmy.world)
 

The age old question. Coke? Pepsi? Store brand? Any other?

I'm personally a Dr Pepper guy myself.

Most "simulation" games aren't simulators (lemmy.world)
 

I was just browsing the Google Play Store and I am getting frustrated seeing games being tagged with the genre, but aren't actually simulating anything. E.g. Idle Miner/Mining Tycoon (can't remember name). Nothing in the game is accurate or even tries to represent real life. It even has cartoon graphics. Now I'm not getting mad about the games themselves, just the fact that they are being labelled as sims. Anyone else annoyed by this?

Watch history required for recommendations now on Youtube/Alternative to youtube. (lemmy.world)
 

In order to get recommendations on your homepage you need to enable your Youtube history in order for videos to be "tailored for you". This is complete BS, as recommendations were perfectly fine before, and I have never had history enabled. This is just a stunt to get people to give their personal data to google. Now I know google has always been bad but this is what really gave me the wake up call, the final straw if you will.

This has prompted me to look for an alternative, specifically an open source alternative. Unfortunately, there are no suitable candidates to my knowledge. However, there is a small, open source alternative which is federated (similarly to Lemmy) called PeerTube. I believe with enough users it could potentially become a viable alternative. Please consider reading more about it. I have not joined yet but I will research more tomorrow. Thanks for hearing me out, just wanted to spread awareness.

Leaving pointless answers/reviews on websites (lemmy.world)

I'm not sure if this is just me, but it drives me nuts when I see someone answer a question (for example in the questions section on an amazon product page) to just say that they don't know or they give an unrelated answer.

For example:

Q: Do these headphones support bluetooth and wired connections?

A: I'm not sure, but my grandson loves these!

The same goes for posts which ask a question on other sites or reviews complaining about a product, despite it doing exactly as advertised. Idk, maybe I should have posted this on unpopular opinion.
