If I’m going for an unsettling bleakness maybe slow noir jazz like bohren and der club of gore, or something faster and jarring maybe clown core, or just esoteric and made to be unapproachable like infant annihilator or knocked loose

soma.fm has a bunch of stations for this: defcon, suburbs of Goa, groove salad, beat blender, mission control, etc

Sam Spade, Wolverine are a couple that first come to mind; often portrayed as the cynical gunfighter private eye and war weary samurai

Mostly emulators and a little chess

Add subterfuge and sneaking and it’s ninja training

Build indexes on countries and allow the public to rate their accuracy based on how well they care for their elderly, children, temporarily and chronically sick, prisoners, minorities and social outsiders, etc comparing lifespan and medical outcomes and then shove it into politicians faces every time they try to talk to anyone with a microphone while also boycotting their own PR attempts. I want those old fashion press passes sticking out of hats but with the country’s rating and who is better. Or just go with some form of UBI.

Is it better to have no law or evil law? Most extremism have their own unique problems if they are exclusionary to pluralism.

Weird

Unearned wisdom sounds like hollow platitudes and is easily forgotten, synthesis without thorough analysis is a waste of time.

Tried learning Spanish in school but I never really had a reason to stick with it or keep going. Recently started relearning some vocab and grammar and phrases because there are places I’d like to visit that would be much easier with even just some basic phrases and books I’d like to read in the author’s original words and phrases.

Just can’t stand the way it sounds, starts with an idi like your going into something then ends with an um. It feels like someone stopped making the name partway through.

Irregardless, inflammable, idiom are all like nails on a chalkboard to me

Imo it’s not about saying this or that org is least biased or less biased, it’s acknowledging the biases present in all news orgs and comparing the reporting from multiple sources.

Three things I learned to use that helped with learning quickly: spaced repetition, the Feynman method, and following practice with self assessment/quizzing. Spaced repetition when taking notes and reviewing new concepts to help with retention. The Feynman method is eli5 to see where a reliance on jargon or assumptions may mask a lack of understanding. And quizzing after practice helps highlight where more work would be best spent during the next practice or lesson.

Time for leisure is great. Read a book, play an instrument, daydream, learn something new, challenge your beliefs about whether certain institutions are beneficial or not, take a walk, ask someone in a position of authority subversive questions, fly a kite, take a nap.

More encroachment on privacy and subscriptions from corpo tech monopolies that should be broken up, solar tech continuing to grow and replace other energy sector tech for consumer and industrial tier systems, material science advanced to increase battery capacity and charge rates, more software & hardware development tools for phones and non traditional computer/laptop devices, more variety in digital keyboards on phones built for swipe/auto complete and correct instead of traditional qwerty

Happy birthday, there’s a bunch of other traditional birthday songs passed down in other languages and cultures that are so much better than happy birthday <insert name>
