Dumb names and goblins are a classic trope.

In high school is was one of our go to. I think I watched it almost monthly for a few years
I am debating getting another account in kbin.earth or piedfed.social. Its always good to try out different instances.
I don't use Signal (gasp I know). But this is a great workaround.
My favorite way to share files is to compose an email and attach the file. I then save it as a draft and then go to another computer and open that draft and download the file. Its the best method and it has worked for at least a decade. Sometimes you have to send it to yourself but the method is perfect
I have nothing to add but to say that I liked kbin.social. I was thinking that everyone was being a doomer when they said it was shutting down when there was a few small problems. But they were right
It’s the ceremonial steps that precedes the listening experience that adds flavour to the enjoyment.
Exactly. Its a ritual for the listening experience. If I had to add up the hours of listening to Vinyl vs streaming, streaming would win hands down. But I love the vinyl when I use it which is usually an experience. We do a lot of vinyl around the holidays since we spend a lot of time in my living room relaxing. Which adds to the experience
You know how people who are into Q-Anon and Pizza-gate look at strange symbols and odd numerology to find strange connections to prove whatever crazy thing they believe. Taylor Swift like to release albums, singles and tours using favorite numbers, hidden symbols and hints in her other songs. So it fits that section of the internet who love to analyze to death things to find clues. Since she is so prolific there is enough material for her to hide these Easter eggs to generate endless conspiracies about when things are released. Since she does drop hints it makes sense that people love to find them. Its like a puzzle-game mixed with a conspiracy theory mixed with a "viral marketing campaign" all in one. And instead of unraveling the fabric of democracy she release music people like.
The reason I like vinyl is how slow and deliberate it is compared to other mediums. If I want to play a record I have a limited curated selection which I purchased with a specific use case. These are all played in my living room and are generally slower and relaxing type music. If I want to play a record I will need to start at the beginning and typically commit to hearing the entire thing in its entirety. Each side I have to choose to continue which slows down the process. I can't skip ahead to the songs I like and it doesn't automatically play anything once its done. Its slow and has a large physical object which I enjoy.
If I used CDs I could skip to whatever song I like or have it automatically play the next CD. With a multi-disc changer I wouldn't have to choose what I want to hear each time. I have CDs which I use in my car for a different use case which is to listen to when the radio is being annoying.
My wife had a friend who said she hates onions. We never changed our recipes and put onions in them. She would always love the food and wonder what was the secret. IT'S THE ONIONS!!!
I just watched this last week after not seeing it for years. Its so dumb and I love. The fact they got classic 80's actor John Cusack to be in is amazing.
