Random article I found on the subject

Aurora - Different Kind of Human

Mostly because it resonates so strongly with me, lyrically, and the song itself is so beautiful and timeless

Suuuuuch a good track. I instantly went to porcupine tree as well when I read the prompt.

I mostly agree but there really is no more powerful painkiller than “fuck” after the moment of impact

I’ve considered removing or at least reducing swearing in my common language usage, but I don’t consider it enough to just replace swearing with placeholder words. “What the fudge” doesn’t work, in my mind, because it is still clear to everybody what my brain was trying to say before my resolution not to swear intervened. “What on earth are you talking about?” Much better.

I kind of realised through running that through to its end that what my issue was, with swearing, was lazy use of language. So I still swear, but I try not to lean on the words as crutches.

Where this puts me, language usage-wise, is in a position where I’m using swearing as a tool to accentuate my meaning or express emotion succinctly, since I don’t swear as often it carries more weight.

For instance, my high school bully was a reprehensible human being but Donald Trump is a worthless fucking cunt.

Absolutely nothing. Works surprisingly often.

Borderlands 2, including all the dlc. Such a great game. Bonus points if you have played borderlands 1, but its not essential.

Borderlands 3 has excellent gameplay but the writing is far, far worse than borderlands 2. They somewhat lost the anti-corpo anti-cap vibes that the series was built on. You can pretty frequently pick up the entire series with all dlc for like… £30 or something with the Pandoras Box bundle.

I had a bunch of fun with Destiny 2 but I can’t recommend it in good conscience because of the state of the management of the game.

I fell off a short bridge into a ditch, got up, started walking up out of the ditch. Realised I couldn’t breathe (winded) and then fell back into the same ditch, unconscious.

Had the most psychedelic dream I’ve ever had, and woke up to someone tending to my wounds.

If its parody songs specifically, then hard mode isn’t possible for me

But if comedy music is allowed, much of Ninja Sex Party is on repeat, as well as a bunch of Tim Minchin’s work

Sex

Financially? No Psychologically? Also no but I’ve actually got therapy and taken a step to breaking generational trauma so that’s something!

The likelihood of me waking up with a clone is higher than the likelihood of me finding someone I want to live with

She and I would definitely be fucking tbh.

Other than that, finally, enough time in the day to work on hobbies. One clone works, the other hobbys, and alternate every now and again.

Thats amazing 🤣

Porter Robinson is fucking awesome. Was underscores opening?

+1 for above and beyond, saw them at the o2 in Greenwich. Amazing musicians.

Porter Robinson. Greatest show ever.

I mean, obviously you can’t just magically know someone’s pronouns. The point is that you try.

Some people would look at the oncoming environmental end of civilisation and go “ugh, another VEGAN trying to shove their ideology down my throat”

Pronouns. Especially bad when a 2SLGBTQIA+ person makes out like its not a big deal.

Its the most simple, base level thing you can do (using correct pronouns for someone etc). Doing it is not a big deal. Its very easy. But if you choose not to, despite how small of a deal it is, then you turn it into a very big deal.
